Quake II for Mac and Linux

Overview

Here you'll find pre-compiled packages of classic _Quake II_ for Mac OSX and 64 bit GNU/Linux by the Quetoo project. These builds are based on the abandoned AprQ2 project by maniac. We've adopted this code and have made numerous fixes, updates and enhancements to it so that Mac and Linux users can have a stable, feature-rich Quake II client. Some of my changes include:

A full list of my changes is available in the CHANGELOG.

Downloads

These packages come with the 3.14 demo and 3.20 point release data (one Single Player map, all of the official Deathmatch maps, and Capture the Flag). You can play the game immediately after installing.

Installation

If you want to play the full single-player game, you must provide the retail game data that came on your Quake II CD-ROM. Locate the pak0.pak file on your Quake II CD-ROM and copy it to your user-specific .quake2 folder:

mkdir -p ~/.quake2/baseq2
cp /Volumes/Quake\ II/Install/Data/baseq2/pak0.pak ~/.quake2/baseq2

Compiling

Compiling this version of Quake II is actually quite easy if you follow the Quetoo developers' guide to install all of the game's dependencies. Once you've installed the dependencies, simply typing make should build the game for you. The INSTALL file located in the source directory covers the details and walks you through installing the Quake II game data, too.

Dependencies on Ubuntu 18.04:
