re: Quake 2 talk in #tf some days ago:
http://www.yamagi.org/quake2/ might be(-come) such Fitzquake equivalent. I have no idea though as I don't like Q2.

The Yamagi Q2 looks good, but it's a little unclear to me what the difference is between this and icculus. Apart from 500 typos (uhh, that's pretty crazy).

In practice, it doesn't seem much different. It plays as usual, really. Also, Yamagi apparently removed the software renderer, but in multiple places there's still mention of it. It's unclear how to build that.

Bottom line, what I mean to say is, is there a point with this port? Apart from being a cleaned up (and amputated) icculus Q2 source?

I don't know, I just never really had a problem with Icculus Q2. For singleplayer, I'll take icculus any day. It seems to work fine, and gives me the most options when compiling (ie it's the most complete port).

If you want a more modern Q2 port, you can't beat QuDos' stuff.

So Where Is Quake2-bjp.exe?

what .pak file creation tools do you guys use?
i've been using pak explorer, but i just noticed that the 8 character limit it imposes has nothing to do with the pak file format and everything to do with it sucking the big one.

any other tools that allow >8 chars in .pak files?

There's another Q2 mapping contest coming up at the Q2 Cafe: http://leray.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=7contest

Perfect

won't that break some of the original engines though (although it might be debatable if anyone still uses them but since they're standard some probably do)

#17030 posted by negke on 2009/06/28 13:23:38

Iphone Quake From Id?

Seems they're talking about porting quake to the iphone as an official project. The only downside is they will probably change the gameplay to be more of a rails shooter, the way they did with Doom Ressurection:

(I have not played doom ressurection yet, so i can't comment on whether it's fun or not.)

Does this mean iPhones get banned in Germany?
