This is a port of Quake2 based on icculus quake2lnx. Changes are:
- Switched to SDL2 from SDL1.2. This allows you to run the game on Wayland.
- The building system is now cmake.
- Lots of unmaintained source code removed, including the code for different platforms like Solaris, IRIX, etc. This code was almost identical to one found in src/linux. Also I removed the code related to X11 and SVGAlib.
- Software renderer has a bug in a code which draws alpha surfaces. Just switch drawing of alpha surfaces off now.
- Audio CD playback is switched off (Does anyone have CD drive now? ).
- Apply bugfixes from FreeBSD ports.
- Fix some compiler warnings and possible bugs.
- Add 1920x1080 screen resolution.
TODO:
- Remove even more boilerplate and machine-dependent code, use SDL crossplatform stuff.
- Fix alpha surfaces rendering in software renderer.
- Build CTF mode.
Build like a regular Serenity Port.
In the quake2 port directory, run ./package.sh.
You'll then need to source the QuakeII demo pak file yourself. iD's FTP is offline, however you can find the demo in a few places. Once you've downloaded the demo, move the pak0.pak file to /home/anon/.quake2/baseq2/ and run quake2 from the command line.
Dynamically switching between software rendering and LibGL does not yet work; to run Quake2 in OpenGL mode, add the
following statements to ~/.quake2/baseq2/config.cfg:
set vid_ref "sdlgl"
set gl_driver "libgl.so.serenity"
