This is the Yamagi Quake II Client, an enhanced Version of id Software's
|
|
legendary Quake II. Main focus is single player, the gameplay is
|
|
unchanged but many bugs were fixed. This code should run under any POSIX
|
|
compliant operating system, just type "make" oder "gmake" to compile.
|
|
|
|
This code is based upon Icculus Quake II, which itself is based upon id
|
|
Software's original code drop. Additional code and patches by many
|
|
contributers were used. It's released under the terms of the GPL version
|
|
2. You can read the whole licence under http://www.gnu.org/

|
1. Installation
|
|
==============
|
|
Note: If you're using Debian Linux or a derived Distribution like
|
|
Ubuntu, you probably want to use the packages that are linked in the
|
|
Download section at http://www.yamagi.org/quake2. They'll even assist
|
|
you in installing the game data.
|
|
|
|
1.1 Retail version:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
If you own Quake II, first get the official point release to Quake II
|
|
3.20: http://www.quake.de/index.php?action=fileinfo&q=q2&element=21
|
|
|
|
Create a new directory "quake2/" and extract the just file you just
|
|
downloaded into it. Even if the file extension is ".exe" it's just a
|
|
normal zip file. Now delete the following files and directories:
|
|
- 3.20_Changes.txt
|
|
- index.html
|
|
- quake2.exe
|
|
- ref_gl.dll
|
|
- ref_soft.dll
|
|
- baseq2/gamex86.dll
|
|
- baseq2/maps.lst
|
|
- ctf/ctf2.ico
|
|
- ctf/gamex86.dll
|
|
- ctf/readme.txt
|
|
- ctf/server.cfg
|
|
- DOCS/
|
|
- xatrix/gamex86.dll
|
|
- rogue/gamex86.dll
|
|
|
|
Now put the Quake II CD-ROM into your cd drive and copy the file
|
|
"pak0.pak" and the directory "video/" to the baseq2-directory of your
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
1.2 Demo version:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
If you haven't got Quake II, try the demo version. Get it here:
|
|
ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/msdos/games/idgames/idstuff/quake2/q2-314-demo-x86.exe
|
|
|
|
Create a new quake2/ directory with a baseq2/ sub-directory and put the
|
|
pak0.pak and the players/ sub-directory you can find within the unzipped
|
|
files (in Install/Data/baseq2/) in your baseq2-directory. No patching
|
|
is needed for the demo, in fact it would break it.
|
|
|
|
1.3 Dependencies:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
- X11 Windows System with development headers
|
|
- OpenGL system headers (Mesa3D, nVidia, fglrx, etc.)
|
|
- libvorbis with development headers
|
|
- libogg with development headers
|
|
- ZLib
|
|
- SDL with development headers and sdl-config(1)
|
|
|
|
1.4 Compiling:
|
|
--------------
|
|
After you have set up the game data (from the full version or the
|
|
demo), you have to compile the Yamagi Quake II client. Just extract the
|
|
source, change into the new created directory and type "make" (Linux) or
|
|
"gmake" (FreeBSD). After the compilation finished copy the following
|
|
files out of release/ to your installation directory preserving the
|
|
directory structure:
|
|
- q2ded
|
|
- quake2
|
|
- ref_gl.so
|
|
- baseq2/game.so
|
|
- ctf/game.so (not for the demo version)
|
|
|
|
You should now be ready to start your brand new Quake II. Have fun.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2. OGG/Vorbis playback
|
|
======================
|
|
Since most modern CD-ROM and DVD drives don't have an analog audio
|
|
output and most sound codecs don't have the appropriate input header,
|
|
it's no longer possible to play Quake II with the original Audio-CD for
|
|
background music. Therefore OGG/Vorbis playback has been added to Yamagi
|
|
Quake II. It can play the original soundtrack, like if the CD is in the
|
|
drive or customized playlists.
|
|
|
|
2.1 Setup for the original soundtrack:
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
Put your Quake II CD-ROM in your drive, start your favorite CD extractor
|
|
and rip the audiotracks into OGG/Vorbis files. These files must be named
|
|
after their track number. Remember! Since the first track on the CD ist
|
|
"data", the first audio track is number 2! If everything is done
|
|
correct, you should have: 02.ogg, 03.ogg, ..., 11.ogg Put these files
|
|
under baseq2/music, start Quake II, enter the "Options" menu and set
|
|
"OGG music" to enabled. "CD music" will be automaticly disabled. Quake
|
|
II will now play the OGG/Vorbis files instead of the Audio-CD.
|
|
|
|
2.2 Setup for other music and playlists:
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
You can put normal OGG/Vorbis files into baseq2/music or your_mod/music.
|
|
If shuffle is enabled, Quake II will shuffle through all files.
|
|
Otherwise it will loop through the track associated with the map.
|
|
Therefore playlists can be used. Just put the filenames into
|
|
music/playlists (a plain text file) and start the game. For manuell
|
|
control there are some CVar. Remember, these are only available, if "OGG
|
|
music" is enabled!
|
|
|
|
2.3 Manual control:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
- ogg_play {file | #n | ? | >n | <n}
|
|
Play a file, the argument can be one of:
|
|
* A file in "music", without the path and ".ogg" extension.
|
|
* A # followed by a number, to play the Nth file in the playlist.
|
|
* A ? which indicates to play a random file.
|
|
* A > which indicates to advance N positions (defaults to 1).
|
|
* A < which indicates to go back N positions (defaults to 1).
|
|
|
|
- ogg_stop
|
|
Stop playing the current file
|
|
|
|
- ogg_pause
|
|
Pause the current file
|
|
|
|
- ogg_resume
|
|
Resume the current file.
|
|
|
|
- ogg_seek {n | >n | <n}
|
|
Go to a determinated position of the file in seconds, the argument can be
|
|
one of the following:
|
|
* n, which indicates to go to the nth position.
|
|
* >n, which indicates to advance n positions.
|
|
* <n, which indicates to go back n positions.
|
|
You can use "ogg_seek >0" and "ogg_seek <0" to get the current position
|
|
without changing it.
|
|
|
|
- ogg_status
|
|
Display status (if playing a file, if paused, if stopped, etc.).
|
|
|
|
2.4 Console variables:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
- ogg_enable {0 | 1}
|
|
Enable the Ogg Vorbis subsystem when in "1". Defaults to "0".
|
|
|
|
- ogg_playlist {name}
|
|
Use "name" as a list of files instead of listing the contents of "music".
|
|
Note that the files must be in "music" and follow ogg_play's syntax for
|
|
files. Defaults to "playlist".
|
|
|
|
- ogg_sequence {next | prev | random | loop | none}
|
|
When a file ends, start playing another one, depending on the value:
|
|
* next: play the next file.
|
|
* prev: play the previous file.
|
|
* random: play a random file.
|
|
* loop: play the same file again.
|
|
* none: stop playing.
|
|
Defaults to "next".
|
|
|
|
- ogg_volume
|
|
Volume of the music from 0 to 2. Defaults to "0.7".

|
3. Widescreen
|
|
=============
|
|
Yamagi Quake II has full support for widescreen setups. Just select your
|
|
favorite resolution and start a game. Now you'll need to adjust the fiel
|
|
of view. Open the console with pressing "^" or "~" and set the fov cvar.
|
|
Default is 90, I suggest 100 for 16:10 screens and 105 for 16:9.

4. Bugreports
|
|
=============
|
|
Something is not working as expected? An elevator is broken? An enemy
|
|
doesn't move? Or the whole game is just crashing? Just drop me an e-mail
|
|
to quake2@yamagi.org. Please include a problem description and - if
|
|
possible - a screenshot of the problematic situation and the name of the
|
|
problematic map. But first, read this little FAQ:
|
|
|
|
My sound is not working!
|
|
- Most reported sound problems exist between keyboard and chair. Please
|
|
make sure, the the correct SDL sound backend is installed and
|
|
configured! Does the sound work in other SDL games? Does your setup
|
|
support at least five virtual channels? In most cases it's better to
|
|
not use sound servers like Pulseaudio but the plain sound system
|
|
like OSS or ALSA with libalsa instead.
|
|
|
|
My OpenGL is not working!
|
|
- Make sure, that OpenGL is working in other games. Use "glxinfo" and
|
|
"glxgears" to make sure, that hardware rendering ist available.
|
|
Otherwise, fix your setup. If reporting OpenGL bugs please include a
|
|
copy of your xorg.conf (if available) and the Xorg.0.log.
