zcubed3 / zealot-q2

A small side project of modifying and modernizing Quake 2 for learning purposes

Zealot ("ZQ2") - A Quake 2 Fork

Changes

• Removed rhapsody, irix, solaris and linux platforms
• Replaced win32 platform with sdl (WIP)
  • Linux support is brought back by this change :)
• Organized project structure
  • ref_gl is now ref_gl2
  • ref_gl2, ref_soft are now in the renderers folder
  • null, sdl are now in the platforms folder
  • game / ctf are now in the games folder
• Implemented qcore
  • qcore is qcommon and game unified into one library
  • qcore defines all shared headers / impls between the client and game
• Rewrote C into C++ (for modernization)
  • Sys_* functions are now contained in the idSystem class
  • This is an ongoing effort! More will be added with time!

Software Credits

• SDL - Used in plat_sdl and ref_gl2
• GLAD - Used in ref_gl2

zealot-q2's Issues

C++: Replace `cvar_t` struct usage with `idCvar` class

ZealCore: Integrate into Engine

Engine: Unify `q_shared` files inside of game projects

Issue

Currently q_shared contains a bunch of defines and functions that are used in the client but are located inside game projects?

Solution

Merge as much of q_shared from games/quake2 into the qcore unified library and into client

Engine: Integrate Dear ImGui into the rendering stage better

C++: Convert `IN_` functions into `idInput` class

C++: Convert `CL_` functions into `idClient` class

Renderer: Unify model loading code

Problem

Currently Id's model loading code is unique per renderer, unifying it into a few common source files would be helpful and reduce code duplication!
