Website: http://www.yamagi.org/quake2
License: GPLv2
Vendor: Alcance Libre, Inc.
Description:
This package contains the enhanced GPL YamagiQuake2 version of the Quake 2
engine.
To run the game you will need the original data files from demo or
full versions.

Full version setup:
Copy the baseq2 folder contents from the CD-ROM/Steam to ~/.yq2/baseq2/
(or to use the data files system-wide copy the data files to
/usr/lib64/games/quake2/baseq2/)
Enjoy the full version.

Demo version setup:
Get the demo from http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/idstuff/q2-314-demo-x86.exe
and extract it.
It's just an ordinary, self-extract ZIP file.
An archiver or even the unzip command can be used.
copy the extracted folder contents /Install/Data/baseq2/* to ~/.yq2/baseq2/
(or to use the data files system-wide copy the data files to
/usr/lib64/games/quake2/baseq2/)
Enjoy the demo version.

Not patched full version setup:
If your full version of quake 2 isn't patched you need to do some more steps
Please note that the patch is required for all full versions of the game,
even the newer ones like Steam. Without it Yamagi Quake II will not work!

Download the patch:
http://deponie.yamagi.org/quake2/idstuff/q2-3.20-x86-full-ctf.exe
Extract the patch into an empty directory. The patch is just an ordinary
self-extracting ZIP file. On Windows it can be extracted by double clicking
on it, on other systems an archiver or even the unzip command can be used.

Now it's time to remove the following files from the extracted patch.
They're the original executables, documentation and so on.
They aren't needed anymore:

3.20_Changes.txt
quake2.exe
ref_gl.dll
ref_soft.dll
baseq2/gamex86.dll
baseq2/maps.lst
ctf/ctf2.ico
ctf/gamex86.dll
ctf/readme.txt
ctf/server.cfg
xatrix/gamex86.dll
rogue/gamex86.dll

Copy the pak0.pak file and the video/ sub-directory from your Quake II
distribution (CD, Steam download, etc) into the baseq2/ sub-directory
of the extracted patch.
