Yamagi Quake II Remaster

This is an experimental fork of Yamagi Quake II with ongoing work to add support for Quake II Enhanced aka Q2 Remaster(ed). This enhanced version has a lot non trivial changes, adding support isn't easy and takes time. Feel free to try this code but you mileage may vary.

Have a look at the yquake2 repository for the "normal" Yamagi Quake II: https://github.com/yquake2/yquake2

State:

• GL1/GL3/GLES3/VK:
  • base1: no known issies
  • base2: no known issies
  • q64/outpost: no known issies
  • mguhub: loaded, sometimes broken logic for surface fall in next maps
• GL4:
  • base1: unchecked
  • base2: unchecked
  • q64/outpost: unchecked
  • mguhub: unchecked
• SOFT:
  • base1: broken wall light
  • base2: broken wall light
  • q64/outpost: no known issies
  • mguhub: broken wall light, sometimes broken logic for surface fall in next maps

Monsters:

• incorrect dead animation for Arachnoid
• broken fire effect for Guardian

Models support:

Format	Original Game	Frame vertex	Comments
mdl	Quake 1	8 bit	could be issues with textures
md2	Quake 2	8 bit	full support
md2	Anachronox	8/10/16 bit	incorrect normals, does no suport tagged surfaces
fm	Heretic 2	8 bit	show all meshes,
dkm	Daikatana DKM1	8 bit	unchecked with game
dkm	Daikatana DKM2	10 bit	unchecked with game, incorrect normals
md3	Quake 3	16 bit	show all meshes, no tags support, unchecked, slow
md5	Doom 3/Quake 4	float	requires md2 for skins, show all meshes, slow

All models support only single texture for all meshes and only up to 255 frames.

Texture supported

Format	Original Game	Comments
wal	Quake 2	8 bit
wal	Daikatana	8 bit
m8	Heretic 2	8 bit
m32	Heretic 2	24 bit
pcx	Quake2	24 bit
tga	Quake2	24 bit
png	retexturing	24 bit
jpg	retexturing	24 bit
bmp	Daikatana	24 bit

Goals (finished):

• BSPX DECOUPLEDLM light map support (base1),
• QBSP map format support (mguhub),
• Use ffmpeg for load any video,
• RoQ and Theora cinematic videos support.
• Cinematic videos support in smk, mpeg, ogv format,
• Daikatana/Heretic map partial format support,
• Add debug progress loading code for maps.

Goals (none of it finished):

• md5 improve load speed,
• Single player support,
• support surface flags for Daikatana, Heretic 2, Anachronox,
• modified ReRelease game code support with removed KEX only related code.

Bonus goals:

• Use shared model cache in client code insted reimplemnet in each render,
• Check load soft colormap as 24bit color,
• Use separete texture hi-color buffer for ui in soft render,
• Convert map surface flag by game type,
• Cleanup function declarations in game save code,
• Use 3 bytes vertex normal,
• Support scalled textures for models and walls in soft render and fix lighting with remastered maps.

Not a goal:

• multiplayer protocol support with KEX engine,
• support KEX engine features (inventary, compass and so on),
• KEX game library support.

Code tested with such maps.

Yamagi Quake II

Yamagi Quake II is an enhanced client for id Software's Quake II with focus on offline and coop gameplay. Both the gameplay and the graphics are unchanged, but many bugs in the last official release were fixed and some nice to have features like widescreen support and a modern OpenGL 3.2 renderer were added. Unlike most other Quake II source ports Yamagi Quake II is fully 64-bit clean. It works perfectly on modern processors and operating systems. Yamagi Quake II runs on nearly all common platforms; including FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Windows and macOS (experimental).

This code is built upon Icculus Quake II, which itself is based on Quake II 3.21. Yamagi Quake II is released under the terms of the GPL version 2. See the LICENSE file for further information.
