1 Minor OS-oriented changes to id Software's Quake2 3.21:
2 "Sorry, real life (tm) got in the way,0.16"
3
4***************************************************************************
5Important Note: If you received an installer which installed the Quake II
6demo levels, you may not distribute that installer or the demo levels in
7anyway except electronically. The Quake II demo levels are still Copyright
8Id Software and are not covered by the Gnu Public License which governs the
9source code. Id has been kind enough to allow us to distribute these
10levels with an installer to show users just how cool Quake II is in the
11jopes that it will lead them to buy full versions. Please do not harm
12our relationship with Id by distributing the demo installer electronically.
13***************************************************************************

15(NOTE: throughout this document, references to i386 [debugi386, releasei386,
16 gamei386.so] are used. If your architecture is not i386, just substitute
17 that for i386. The Makefile gives some hints as to what is supported.)
18
19For this to be of any use, you _must_ own a copy of Quake 2. The demo would
20also work, but you might as well buy the full thing now.
21
22These modifications are intended for Linux users, as I do not have have
23access to other platforms.
24
25Be sure to install SDL 1.2 (http://www.libsdl.org) if you want to use the
26softsdl or sdlgl drivers, or the sdlquake2 binary.
27
28'make' will, by default, build both the debug and release files.
29To build just the optimized binaries: make build_release
30The resulting binaries are then put in releasei386.
31
32Known Bugs
33------------
34ALSA sound support is not 100% there. I would stick with SDL or OSS for now.
35
36
37Makefile options:
38-----------------
39(quake2 and gamei386.so are always built, but the following options can be
40 changed by editing the Makefile)
41BUILD_SDLQUAKE2 Build sdlquake2, a quake2 binary that uses SDL for
42 CD audio and sound access (default = YES).

102 skins/sounds on websites like http://www.mike-d.com/games/modskins.html
103 (optional)
104
105To install this program:
106------------------------
107(builddir is either debugi386 or releasei386)

1181. enable BUILD_XATRIX in Makefile
1192. download xatrixsrc320.shar.Z from
120 ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/source/ or a mirror site, extract
121 it (it's a compressed shell script) and place the contents in
122 <quake2-rX.X.X>/src/xatrix/

1277. when starting quake2, use "+set game xatrix" on the command line
128
129To install the "Ground Zero" Mission Pack (Rogue):
130--------------------------------------------------
131(cdromdir is wherever you mount the Ground Zero CD-ROM)
1321. enable BUILD_ROGUE in Makefile
1332. download roguesrc320.shar.Z from
134 ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/source or a mirror site, extract
135 it (it's a compressed shell script) and place the contents in

1455. copy <builddir>/rogue/gamei386.so to <installdir>/rogue/
1466. copy <cdromdir>/Data/all/pak0.pak to <installdir>/rogue/
1477. copy <cdromdir>/Data/max/Rogue/video/ to <installdir>/rogue/ (optional)
1488. when starting quake2, use "+set game rogue" on the command line
149
150To Build Quake2 Max.
151-------------------
152Quake2 Max is a set of GL improvements to the Quake2 source base by
153psychospaz, <http://modscape.telefragged.com/q2max/> the 0.25 version
154has been merged into the Quake2 for Linux source tree. To build the
155added visual candy:
1561. make clean
1572. set BUILD_QMAX to YES in the makefile
1583. make
159
160You will also need to download http://www.icculus.org/quake2/files/maxpak.pak
161and place it in your quake2/baseq2 directory.
162
163Please note that the resulting Quake2 binaries and video drivers are
164incompatible with binaries and drivers built with BUILD_QMAX set to NO.
165
166For right now, the driver gets built as ref_glx.so and ref_sdlgl.so.
167In the future this will change so that both drivers can be build in parallel.
168
169
170AALib Video Driver
171------------------
172The AALib video driver is written by jfedor@jfedor.org it provides text
173rendering for Quake2. It requires the aalib package to build, which is
174available at http://aa-project.sourceforge.net.
175
176Retexturing Support
177------------------
178There has been an effort to retexture Quake2 with 24-bit textures to replace
1798-bit ones. The resulting textures look *good* but take up more space and
180makes quake2 run slower.
181
182If you wish to run retextured quake2 you need to download pak1x (currently 0-6) from http://3d.kicks-ass.net/texturepaks/
183
184Thanks to Karen Pouelle for the code to support this.
185
186To run:
187-------
188cd <installdir> && ./quake2
189Or:
190quake2 +set basedir <installdir>
191
192Add +set game <moddir> to load a mod (like the mission packs).
193
194/etc/quake2.conf is no longer used; instead, the ref_*.so files are loaded
195from basedir (basedir is "." by default, and can only be set at the command
196line).
197
198Configuration files and such are saved in ~/.quake2/, so <installdir> can be
199made read-only or whatever.
200
201WARNING: Please do not make quake2 or any of the libraries suid root! Doing
202so is at your own risk.
203
204NOTE: Save games will not work across different versions or builds, because
205of the way they are stored.
206
207
208Binary-Only Mods:
209-----------------
210Chances are that they will not work. I suspect that it has something to do
211with the mods being built with older versions of gcc/glibc2. EraserBot, for
212example, has source available except for one file, p_trail.o. Trying to
213use an EraserBot gamei386.so results in a crash somewhere inside p_trail.o.
214
215Dedicated Server:
216-----------------
217Dedicated Server support has been added (thanks to Wesley Bear) just modify
218the Makefile so that BUILD_DEDICATED=YES (default NO) that should build a
219q2ded binary in the release directory.
220
221CTF Server:
222-----------
223To run Capture The Flag, you need to do the following:
2241) download q2-3.20-x86-full-ctf.exe from
225ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2
2262) unzip that file (using unzip -L) in a temp directory
2273) copy ctf to <installdir>/ctf
2284) build the ctf shared library (BUILD_CTF=YES in the Makefile)
2295) cp releas<arch>/ctf/game<arch>.so to <installdir>/ctf/game<arch>.so
2306) quake2 +set game ctf +set dedicated 1
2317) on the console enter "map Q2CTF1" that will load up the first ctf
232map, then connect using a client with multi-player. For the other maps use
233Q2CTF2, etc.
234
235*Note if you are using the demo version and not the full version, some
236textures are missing from the CTF levels*
237
238IPv6 Support:
239-------------
240Currently experimental, so it may or may not work. Here is some information
241about it from Florent Parent:
242
243quake2 +set dedicated 1
244 Runs server listening on both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets
245
246quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set multicast <interface>
247 IPv6 server joins quake2 multicast group ff12::666
248
249quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set ip <IPv6 address> +set multicast <interface>
250 IPv6 server only. Listens on <IPv6 address>
251 Examples of <IPv6 address>:
252 3ffe:b00:c18::666 (global IPv6 address)
253 fe80::202:b3ff:fe04:1234%fxp0 (link-local address. scope required)
254 :: (unspecified, binds on all IPv6
255 addresses)
256quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set ip <IPv4 address>
257 IPv4 server only. Listens on <IPv4 address>
258 0.0.0.0 can be used to bind on all IPv4 addresses
259
260Joystick Support:
261-----------------
262***Important note****
2635/12/04
264The joystick code has been modified to be more in line
265with the joystick functionality detailed in src/docs/joystick.txt
266*********************
267
268Joystick should function on all compatible SDL platforms using the sdlquake2
269binary as well as on linux using the linux kernel joystick API. If you want
270to build with joystick support (the default) set BUILD_JOYSTICK to YES in
271the Makefile.
272
273Have a look at src/docs/joystick.txt for the details
274
275There is a single linux specific option:
276 * joy_dev : this sets the device name of the joystick to use (/dev/js*)
277
278
279Windows Support:
280----------------
281In order to compile the source:
282
283If you don't already have it, you'll need to download:
284http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI/glext.h
285
286Commonly used commands:
287-----------------------
288cd_nocd 0 // disable CD audio
289s_initsound 0 // disable sound
290_windowed_mouse 0 // disable mouse-grabbing
291gl_ext_multitexture 0 // disable OpenGL Multitexturing (requires a
292 vid_restart)
293vid_ref <driver> // select a video driver (softx is the original
294 X11-only, softsdl is SDL software, sdlgl is
295 SDL OpenGL)
296vid_fullscreen 0 // disable fullscreen mode
297vid_restart // restart video driver
298snd_restart // restart sound driver
299basedir <dir> // point quake2 to where the data is
300gl_driver <libGL.so> // point quake2 to your libGL
301dedicated 1 // run quake2 as a dedicated server
302game <subdir> // load the quake2 mod in that directory
303sensitivity <int> // Adjust the sensivity (accelleration) of the mouse.
304crosshair <int> // Choose your crosshair [1-3] Normal [1-9] Q2Max
305crosshair_scale <int> // Scale your crosshair (Q2Max only for now...)
306
307When using these commands on the quake2 command line, use +set to cause the
308variables be set before the config files are loaded (important for
309gl_driver). e.g.
310./quake2 +set vid_ref glx +set gl_driver /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
311Note that variables like basedir and game _require_ using +set to ensure
312the desired functionality.
313
314If quake2 crashes when trying to load an OpenGL based driver (glx, sdlgl),
315make sure its not loading the wrong libGL.
316
317Have a NVIDIA card and it _still_ crashes? Try
318export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so, and run quake2 again.
319
320Is lighting slow in OpenGL (while firing, explosions, etc.)? Disable
321multitexturing (gl_ext_multitexture 0; vid_restart).
322
323More information can be found in src/docs/.
324
325Known Bugs and Workarounds:
326---------------------------
327FAQ:
328----
329Q: Quake2 crashes when starting a new game.
330A: It's most likely that the gamei386.so was not installed correctly.
331 Do not use the version that comes with the 3.20 release! See the
332 installation instructions above.
333
334Q: Quake2 doesn't want to load mods correctly with +game.
335A: Use +set game.
336
337Q: ErasorBot doesn't work.
338A: Not all the source was released for ErasorBot. See explanation above.

28Installation instructions:
29-----------------------------------------------------
30Use the README file at the top level for installation instructions..
31See the Solaris-Specific make options at the top of
32the Solaris Makefile (Makefile.Solaris). Most interesting options
33are:
34BUILD_X11=YES (for X11 rendering)
35BUILD_GLX=YES (for GLX rendering)
36BUILD_SDL=YES (for SDL rendering)
37BUILD_SDLGL=YES (for GLX rendering with SDL)
38BUILD_XIL=YES (for XIL rendering)
39BUILD_CORONA=YES (for the SunRay Terminal, -unverified- by me since I don't have the SDK)
40BUILD_DEDICATED=YES (Will build a dedicated quake2 server binary).
41BUILD_SOLARIS_PKG=YES # Build a Solaris package of all of the binaries for use with pkgadd.
42BUILD_DATA_PKG=YES # Build a Solaris package of the game (shareware or final) \
43 # data files for use with pkgadd.
44
45Notes on packages:
46-----------------------------------------------------
47The "release" and "debug" packages of the binaries get built by default.
48This should result in something like this:
49# ls -la releasesparc/pkg/*pkg debugsparc/pkg/*pkg
50-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 16548352 Aug 2 11:33 debugsparc/pkg/iDquake2-debug-r0.13.1-sparc.pkg
51-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 5249536 Aug 2 11:27 releasesparc/pkg/iDquake2-release-r0.13.1-sparc.pkg
52
53To build the the data "iDquake2d" package, edit the line in the Makefile
54that says "PKG_DATA_BUILD_DIR=/usr/local/src/quake2-data/quake2" and point
55it to the correct location for your data files.
56Set BUILD_DATA_PKG=YES in Makefile.Solaris.
57(WARNING: -everything- under ../baseq2 gets taken.
58
59Next, run "gmake -f Makefile.Solaris".
60This should result in something like this:
61-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 52185600 Aug 2 11:27 releasesparc/pkg/iDquake2d-release-r0.13.1-sparc.pkg
62
63After installation, you get:
64# pkginfo |grep -i quake2
65application iDquake2 ID Software Quake2 3.21 for Solaris 8 (X11,XIL,GLX,SDL)
66application iDquake2d ID Software Quake2 shareware data files for Solaris 8 (X11,XIL,GLX,SDL)
67
68What's working:
69-----------------------------------------------------
70- The Quake2 binary
71- The SDL Quake2 binary (uses SDL for sound and CD).
72- X11 rendering (ref_softx.so)
73- XIL rendering (ref_xil.so) (Faster for some routines)
74- SDL rendering (ref_softsdl.so) (Nice full screen effect on Solaris displays)
75- GLX rendering (ref_glx.so) (Works semi-OK on my Ultra2/Creator3d but
76 it's s-l-o-w).
77
78What's still broken:
79-----------------------------------------------------
80- SDLGL renderer (loads, colors are all wrong. Colormap
81 problem? Update: it may be an endianness problem in
82 SDL since it displays fine to a remote x86 Linux machine
83 with NVidia drivers. Being worked on, priority #2).
84- quake2 and sdlquake2 Seg fault when quitting the game
85 (not a show stoppper but being worked on, priority #1).
86 Update: FIXED (replace exit(0) with commented out
87 _exit(0) in Sys_Quit() in src/solaris/sys_solaris.c.
88- WARNING: On my new XVR-1000 card and with OpenGL-1.2.3
89 the textures are messed up and jumping in GLX mode!
90 All of the quake2-r versions hexibit this problem.
91 I'm investigating the issue....
92 Note: the Utah-GLX project has a quake2 solaris source
93 port that does -not- exhibit this problem (seems to be in
94 ref_gl).
95 Update: Sept 4th 2002: Sun has acknowledged the problem.
96 Patches 112565-05 (5.9) and 112564-05 (5.8) don't help.
97 It looks like a problem with multi-texturing but there
98 is a WORKAROUND: add the following to your quake2 cmd
99 line (without quotes): "+set gl_ext_multitexture 0"
100- If you're using OpenGL (GLX) on an hardware accelerated
101 SUN video card, you -MUST- use OpenGL-1.2.3 and patches
102 112628-11 and 112629-11 or later. Otherwise you'll get
103 a flipping ceiling and the background will appear in front
104 of some walls in the "space" level. For OpenGL-1.3, you must
105 use recent OpenGL-1.3 patches (113886-20, 113887-20 or later).
106
107Thank you!
108-----------------------------------------------------
109Thanks for this Solaris release go to:
110
111- Martin englund and Elias M�rtensson from SUN (sweden).
112They ported Quake2 to Solaris with XIL and OpenGL
113and Martin made this release possible by contributing the source code
114once Quake2 was open-source'd by Id Software in dec' 2001.
115
116- Id software.
117(for such a great multi-platform game, Zoid for porting it to Linux).
118
119- The guys at icculus for hosting this quake2 project
120 (Steven Fuller, Brendan Burns and others..).
