Q2Rev, as a standalone application, has been deprecated. It is now part of Quake Rev PAK.
The engine is (almost) feature-complete, with sound & network play. For technical reasons, the Capture-The-Flag module is not included in this engine; you will need to play Q2CTFRev for that purpose.
The only missing functionality is the ability to play the original CD soundtrack, to be implemented (if everything goes right) on a further release.
New features in this release:
- Classic Controller can now be used to play; controls are similar to those in use by the Gamecube Controller.
- Pressing [A] to aim is now optional; a Menu Option was provided for such effect.
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:
- Download the QRevPAK.R*.zip to your computer
- Copy the contents of the archive to a folder called /apps/QRevPAK/ in your storage media (SD card or USB stick)
- Copy the contents of your /baseq2 folder (shareware or full, bought, game) 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.)
- Start "Quake Rev PAK" on the Homebrew Channel (or any suitable app launcher).
