Quake2 SDL

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.

Building and installation

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.

Running with OpenGL

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"
