A port of the original id Tech 2 engine (Quake II) to the Nintendo Wii, compiled using devkitPPC / libogc.


Q2Rev, as a standalone application, has been deprecated. It is now part of Quake Rev PAK.


The engine is feature-complete, with sound, network play, and CD music track playback. For technical reasons, the Capture The Flag module is not included in this engine; you will need to play Q2CTFRev for that purpose.


New features since Release 2 of Quake Rev PAK:

  • CD Music track playback is now available!
  • Key aliases. With the new "keyalias" command, you can map any key in your controller to any other one, letting you customize your controls any way you like.
  • If a game crashes, and the engine is able to tell, it will create a "QRevPAK.err" file containing the date/time and the cause of the crash.
  • The [+] and [-] buttons now move through your inventory, instead of going with fixed keys. Remember to press [1] ( = Enter key, if unaliased) to activate the selected item.
  • The "c" / On-screen Keyboard combo button now behaves differently. The "c" key command (Crouch) is sent immediately; the On-Screen keyboard is shown upon key release. However, if the key is held for more than 0.5 seconds, the On-Screen keyboard won't appear at all.


The project is being hosted at http://code.google.com/p/qrevpak .

Any comments about the engine are welcome to heribertod@gmail.com.


Installation

In order to play Quake II with this engine, please follow these instructions:


  1. Download the QRevPAK.R*.zip to your computer
  2. Copy the contents of the archive to a folder called /apps/QRevPAK/ in your storage media (SD card or USB stick)
  3. Copy the /baseq2 folder (shareware or full, bought, game), from your computer, also at the /apps/QRevPAK/ folder. (NOTE: Previous versions of Q2Rev required these files at the root of the media card. This is no longer the case.)
  4. Start "Quake Rev PAK" on the Homebrew Channel (or any suitable app launcher).
