Bug 17624

Also, without yg2.cfg, the game does no want to start.

I should also add that I use the 64-bit version of Mageia 5.

Finally took the time to work on this, it should be much better with yamagi-quake2-5.34-1.mga6.

I'd be very interested in feedback on the packaging, as I don't play it much myself. I've also added the yq2.cfg file as advised in comment 0.

Marking as fixed, but feel free to reopen if you still experience the issue (or open a new bug report if the issue is different).

Reopening as I've only fixed it in Cauldron, not yet in Mageia 5.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

Pushed updated package to Mageia 5. As the package was mostly broken, I took the liberty to sync with Cauldron and thus to update to the latest upstream version (5.34).


Suggested advisory:
===================

Updated yamagi-quake2 packages fix instructions and lookup for system-wide data

  yamagi-quake2 was mispackaged and included libraries in one location, but
  instructions to install the data system-wide in another location.
  The engine looks for both the libraries and the data files in the same location,
  so this location was enforced and the instructions fixed.

  Moreover, the default upstream configuration override is now provided.
  Several other packaging improvements have been operated.

Assignee: rverschelde => qa-bugs

@QA team: This one is a bit tricky to test, as it's just an engine for Quake 2, but you need to have the original game data to play it (or at least extract the data from the public demo).

There are instructions to do this in the README.md (/usr/share/doc/yamagi-quake2/README.md), i.e. https://github.com/yquake2/yquake2/blob/master/README.md#game-data-setup

Hopefully Hoyt can test the update candidate, and that should be good enough for validation.

It works for me!

May I suggest that this be added to the description displayed in drakrpm, because many people will not bother with the README.md.

-- You need PAK files for Quake II to run this game --

Install the retail version PAK files in ~/.yq2/baseq2 or, alternatively for a system-wide installation, in /usr/lib64/games/quake2.

Install the demo version PAK files by following the directions at https://github.com/yquake2/yquake2/blob/master/README.md#game-data-setup


Thanks for your work on my bug report!

Perhaps "Obtain the demo version PAK . . ."

Hello,
I tried on mageia 5 x64 with the demo package. All worked well.
I see in the MCC, that it's written to add the .pak files. So i think it's ok ?
Bye

I've added something in the description for the cauldron package (yamagi-quake2-5.34-2.mga6), but I'd prefer not to redo the Mageia 5 update candidate just for that.

Marking as OK for x86_64 based on comment 9 and comment 11, and validating.

Mageia6 package installs yamagi-quake3 in all the correct directories and works as expected.

There are public-domain-licensed high-res textures available from
http://www.moddb.com/games/quake-2/addons/quake-2-32-bit-high-resolution-textures-pack

That really make the game look great on modern hardware.

Thank you Remi for your work on this. Quake 2 is available for purchase from GOG.com (US$10) and also STEAM (US$5). The GOG version includes additional content and is DRM free.

I would be glad to fund your purchase from GOG so you can have the games files for testing. Just let me know how I might do that.

Do you think that's something we could package in a way that makes it usable out of the box? Or do you have to replace pack files of the installed game manually to override them?

Thanks for the offer, but to be honest I have so many Linux games already that I don't know what to make of them :D

So far testing yamagi-quake2 with the demo seemed sufficient, and if you can confirm that the full game and the extensions work as expected, we should be all covered. I might grab Quake 2 on GOG one day to satisfy my "game hoarder" impulses though ;)

They have a unique name and are simply placed in the baseq2 directory.

Everything works. Thank you very much!
