[Files] Quake 2 sources publically available | ANN.lu |
Posted on 14-Dec-2002 15:41 GMT by darklite | 34 comments View flat View list |
The Quake 2 & mods Amiga sources and support files as released by Hyperion. The archives have all been converted from Hyperion's proprietary hpa format to lha.
The archives should be available from Aminet soon.
Thanks to Golem/AmigaNet for doing all the repacking and uploading. He also did a quick attempt to compile Quake 2 from these but wasn't successful.
And of course a big thank-you to Steffen Haeuser (and whoever might have contributed) for all the work he's put into these ports.

Quake 2 sources publically available : Comment 13 of 34 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Steffen Haeuser on 14-Dec-2002 17:16 GMT | In reply to Comment 9 (Anonymous): darklite is Brecht Machiels, an Amithlon-fanatic (I think he could be the person who invented the term "Fanatic" :) ). Ben and Brecht know each other AFAIK (and can't stand each other AFAIK). I still wonder why Brecht took back his source code request. Maybe he just could not stand the idea that Ben might get 5 EUR from *him* ? :)
At one point actually Brecht contacted the FSF,
asking them if "Hyperion is doing something wrong" or something like that
(don't know what exactly he asked). Not surprisingly the FSF supported
*our* view. Brecht posted the result of his inquiry some time ago at
Moo Bunny.
Actually two people requested the Quake 2 source-code (and took NOT back the request). Both were very polite. I think the second person gave it then to Brecht, probably, so he now could add his news-item. I want also to add that I would have been in no way forced to include the source-code of the Mods, which are not under GPL, but did so anyways (at least of some Mods).
