Overview

This is a The-Forge port of the vkQuake2, which is the official Quake 2 code v3.21 with Vulkan support and mission packs included. It use SoLoud for audio playback.

Project Status

• Currently the demo level can runs with the UI still not rendering correctly. Some of the surface is not rendering correctly
• The framerate is superfast.
• The video playback is not working.
• pak file is not tested at the moment.

Building

Currently only Windows is supported as I have no access to other platform at the moment. The build system is CMake.

On Windows, The-Forge requires either Visual Studio 2017 or 2019. You can also use the Visual Studio Build Tools instead of the full IDE.

Running

After buiding the game, the build directory should contains game directory and other expansion directory. Inside, there would be gamex64.dll files.

Extract the game files from the orginal game into the build directory, using tool like PakExplorer. The game files from game directory should be under the same directory under the build directory, the sames goes to other expansion if needed.

Music

For standard Quake 2, copy all tracks into the baseq2/music directory following the trackXX.[ogg,flac,mp3,wav] naming scheme (so track02.ogg, track03.ogg... for OGG files etc.). For "Ground Zero" and "The Reckoning", copy the tracks to rogue/music and xatrix/music directories respectively.
