  • quake2-rerelease-dll

  • It's a light touch (looks like the original structure is mostly intact) but if you search for 'std::' in, say, https://github.com/id-Software/quake2-rerelease-dll/blob/mai... you'll see there's some C++ stuff floating about.

  • john-carmack-plan-archive

    Collection of John Carmack’s .plan files

  • This is not the engine code, this is the game code that was released even prior to Quake 2 being GPLd.

    John Carmack's .plan for Dec 11, 1997

    The Quake 2 public code release is up at:

    ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake2/source/q2source_12_11.zip

    This source code distribution is only for hard-core people that are going to spend a lot of time pouring over it. This is NOT a how-to-make-levels-for-q2 type dsitribution!

    This should keep a bunch of you busy for a while. :)
