Quake and Quake III, but not Quake II?

[BenMcLean]

Can we get binaries distributed?

If it is legal and the site permits it, there is no reason I wouldn't upload them.

It's perfectly legal to redistribute binaries because the Quake II source code is GPLv2. It would even be legal to redistribute the shareware PAK files. (but don't bother) It just wouldn't be legal to redistribute the commercial PAK files.

I'd appreciate your sharing, but ultimately, I'd like to get Quake II added to the RetroPie setup script. That would make it easy for people running RetroPie to set up and start playing Quake II.

[VincentGR]

Yes that would be great, I have 1 and 3 on my RetroPie.

Isn't RetroPie largely limited to the legacy Broadcom driver at this time? Given the OpenGL requirement I think this could work on RetroPie for ODROID, but for Pi we'd need better support for rpi3-mesa.

Hi,

I'm trying the tutorial to run the game demo with the last source but when I run the executable I get this errors:

----- refresher initialization -----
LoadLibrary("ref_gl.so") failed: No such file or directory
CDAudio_Init: Unable to open default CD-ROM drive: Invalid CD-ROM drive index
-------- game initialization -------
LoadLibrary("game.so")
********************
ERROR: failed to load game DLL
********************
Shutting down OpenAL.
Error: Error during initialization

I remember having some warning during the compilation but I didn't save the output. I've enabled the gl driver thinking could be related to that but no way. Any help?

I also tried to recompile the source and now I get this (???):

src/refresh/files/jpeg.c:55:1: error: conflicting types for ‘jpeg_mem_src’
jpeg_mem_src(j_decompress_ptr cinfo, unsigned char *mem, unsigned long len)
^~~~~~~~~~~~

/usr/include/jpeglib.h:923:14: note: previous declaration of ‘jpeg_mem_src’ was here
EXTERN(void) jpeg_mem_src (j_decompress_ptr cinfo,
^~~~~~~~~~~~

Before even with some warning it didn't stop this way!

Hey 386dx40,

I explain how to avoid the libjpeg header issue at the end of my Sat Dec 16, 2017 7:05 pm post earlier in this thread. Basically you should use the master branch rather than the opengl_es branch, then it's a non-issue.

Not sure if your earlier problem was tied to using the wrong branch as well?

Thank you! I'm now using that source to compile the game and it's compiling without errors and it runs!

It runs quiet well with texture filtering and all, but need to test it better cause the mouse sometimes seems not to fire during gameplay and sometimes it freeze firing. Anyway impressive porting of the game.

Hi Guys,
i followed spidey57 description and got Quake II running with OpenGL_es. It was running ok... if any lighting was on the screen it started dropping the framerate to much to be playable. The i discovered jdonalds thread about the newest branch in normal gl. I downloaded the github repo. Followed exactly the descirption in the readme text with this result: ....everything fine....then this:

If you are struggling with yamagi quake2 try q2pro:-

http://skuller.net/q2pro/
https://github.com/AndreyNazarov/q2pro

Latest commit 924ff39 on 3 Dec 2014

Tested on a RaspberryPi3
using
RASPBIAN STRETCH WITH DESKTOP
Image with desktop based on Debian Stretch
Version:November 2017
Release date:2017-11-29
Kernel version:4.9

unzip
q2pro-master.zip

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev

make

when compiled you need to read the INSTALL file to cp the pak files as usual and

cp src/client/ui/q2pro.menu ~/.q2pro/baseq2/
so that the menu works correctly then change to windowed mode
turn on opengl in raspi-config & reboot

You can play online if you paste a server IP address from

http://q2servers.com

then open console and type

connect ipaddress

If too dark
Check your ‘intensity’ and ‘gl_modulate’ settings.
set both to 2.

Happy fragging!

Quake2 server running on RaspberryPiZero-W RaspberryPi2 or RaspberryPi3.

Do you have a spare RpiZeroW gathering dust? Use it as a Quake2 server.

This assumes you have successfully compiled and configured YamagiQ2, Rogue and Xatrix
as detailed earlier in this thread.
It is quicker to configure the server(s) on a RaspberryPi3 and then move the SD card to the Rpi0w/2.
Once configured reboot the Rpi0/2/3 into CLI mode for better performance.
No need to configure all the servers just pick the one you need.

No additional software required for 1.1, 1.2, 1.3

1.1 standard dm
1.2 xatrix dm
1.3 rogue dm

1.1 create server.cfg in quake2\baseq2 with these params

set hostname "rpi standard dm"
set deathmatch 1
set maxclients 8
set fraglimit 50
set timelimit 20
set sv_maplist "q2dm1 q2dm2 q2dm3 q2dm4 q2dm5 q2dm6 q2dm7 q2dm8"
map q2dm1

to start the server ./q2ded +set game baseq2 +exec server.cfg

1.2 create server.cfg in quake2\rogue with these params

set hostname "rpi rogue dm"
set deathmatch 1
set maxclients 8
set fraglimit 50
set timelimit 20
set sv_maplist "rdm1 rdm2 rdm3 rdm4 rdm5 rdm6 rdm7 rdm8 rdm9 rdm10 rdm11 rdm12 rdm13 rdm14"
map rdm1

to start the server ./q2ded +set game rogue +exec server.cfg

1.3 create server.cfg in quake2\xatrix with these params

set hostname "rpi xatrix dm"
set deathmatch 1
set maxclients 8
set fraglimit 50
set timelimit 20
set sv_maplist "xdm1 xdm2 xdm3 xdm4 xdm5 xdm6 xdm7"
map xdm1

to start the server ./q2ded +set game xatrix +exec server.cfg

Happy fragging!

2 more Quake2 server mods that run fine on any rpi0w, rpi0, rpi2, rpi3.

This assumes you have successfully compiled and configured YamagiQ2 as detailed earlier in this thread.

1.4 Capture The Flag (CTF) and
1.5 Lithium (LITH)

Files required:-

https://www.yamagi.org/quake2/
Three Wave Capture The Flag: Three Wave CTF Version 1.05 (06/08/2017)

https://github.com/mattayres/li2mod
Latest commit 6415a7e on Sep 23, 2010
https://github.com/mattayres/li2mod/archive/master.zip

1.4 create a ctf folder alongside baseq2
unzip quake2-ctf-1.05.tar.xz
make
cp game.so into the ctf folder

copy pak0.pak from q2-3.20-x86-full-ctf.exe into ctf folder

create server.cfg in quake2/ctf with these params

set hostname "rpi ctf"
set deathmatch 1
set maxclients 8
set fraglimit 50
set timelimit 20
set sv_maplist "q2ctf1 q2ctf2 q2ctf3 q2ctf4 q2ctf5"
map q2ctf1

to start the server ./q2ded +set game ctf +exec server.cfg

1.5 create a lithium folder alongside baseq2

unzip li2mod-master.zip
make

copy the contents of the li2mod-master/lithium folder to the lithium folder created earlier
cp gamei386.so to game.so

cp lithium.cfg to server.cfg

edit server.cfg

set hostname "rpi lithium"

to start the server
./q2ded +set dedicated 1 +set game lithium +exec server.cfg

Happy fragging!
