Note: This package only provides the engine, you need a valid copy of the (proprietary) game data to launch the game.
This is the Yamagi Quake II Client, an enhanced version of id Software's Quake II with focus on offline and coop gameplay. Both the gameplay and the graphics are unchanged, but many bugs if the last official release were fixed and some nice to have features like widescreen support and a modern OpenGL 3.2 renderer were added. Unlike most other Quake II source ports Yamagi Quake II is fully 64 bit clean. It works perfectly on modern processors and operating systems. Yamagi Quake II runs on nearly all common platforms; including FreeBSD, Linux, OpenBSD, Windows and OS X.
This code is build upon Icculus Quake II, which itself is based on Quake II 3.21. Yamagi Quake II is released under the terms of the GPL version 2.
Note to snap packagers: Additionally, other snaps can consume its content via a content interface plug. Consuming snaps could use following snapcraft.yaml snippet to add the interface.
plugs: quake2-engine: content: quake2-engine interface: content target: $SNAP/quake2-engine default-provider: yamagi-quake2-beidl:quake2-engine
Within the consuming snap the content would be exposed at "$SNAP/quake2-engine", ie: /snap/the-consuming-snap/current/quake2-engine /var/lib/snapd/snap/the-consuming-snap/current/quake2-engine
Under certain circumstances it could be necessary to manually connect the interface, ie: snap connect the-consuming-snap:quake2-engine yamagi-quake2-beidl:quake2-engine

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Yamagi Quake II, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install yamagi-quake2-beidl
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
