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.

In reply to Comment 1 (SlimJim):
The "whoever else have contributed" are Thomas Frieden and Hans-Joerg Frieden and
Christian Michael BTW. Christian was working on all those optimizations.

Please note that the Mod-Sources
are *not* GPL (though they are OpenSource), only the Quake 2 Executables(+Sources
of course) themselves are. Only some Mod-Sources were included
as some of them are ClosedSource Mods where I do not have the right to redistribute
the Source-Code. Ah, not completely right, the ctf Source code (which was
included into id's Quake 2 Source release) actually *is* GPL - but things like
the ACEBot for example are not GPL.

Please note there will also soon be a Quake 2 Update which asides from other things
includes even more optimizations (For download for registered users) and
"there will be some more Quake 2 related nice surprises soon".

I hope this will stop all Quake 2 related public Hyperion-bashing now. (I'd also
really appreciate this claim in the other thread we would have been "in violation to
id Software's licence" would be removed (not the thread, just the sentence with
this false claim), I told already two times that we never sold any copies
of Quake 2 which included the Quake 2 Exe and the Mods on one CD, and despite
my correction this wrong claim is still there).
