Quake 2

I've got Quake up and running on my SAM, and this has wetted my appetite for Quake 2.

I know Hyperion did a port, but can you buy that anywhere? Hyperion don't sell it, neither do Amigakit

Tis a shame no-one seems to have done a free version of Quake 2 on the Amiga in the same vein as Quake 1.

And how much money are Hyperion losing by not selling the games via download from their website? I've love to buy Heretic 2, Quake 2 etc from them

@tommo1975

I only found shogo at vesalia.de, here you can buy it for your amiga :

Here is a free Q2 port based on the one Hyperion did.

On a SAM? Beware of the Green Manalishi

@cha05e90

Yeap, until there will be an update to fix the problem, all the 3D games are green, like the Incredible Hulk ...

The only thing stopping me from using the free Q2 port is an error "Vidplay: unknown command Vidplay failed returncode 10"

I've tried searching for Vidplay on Aminet and OS4depot (no joy) and the only mention of it on Google (for the Amiga) is the src files released by Hyperion for Quake 2 and they seem to be pre-compiled C code from what I can tell.

@tommo1975

I get this problem too.
go here : If you want, I can send U my exec file....

@pseudaxos

I think the link got deleted from your post?

I'll PM you and we can sort out the exec file

@tommo1975
That's done !

After some tinkering I now see what people mean by the green graphics! I hope someone fixes that soon!

@tommo1975

All though this is probably an old post, "the green bug issue" has been fixed since the quick fix release. Im playing quake 3 on full high graphics and BSU fine no problems now. As for quake 2 it should work fine no problems.

@magic

Yes the GL versions of both quake and quake 2 now run nicely on my sam440ep 667 (non flex) with the quickfix installed and the debug kernel.

trying to get Quake 3 to work on my Samflex...I'm getting only a black screen here & have to soft boot to get the system back

@328gts

Doesn't the multitasking work either?
Sure you got all files needed at the right place?
Does it output anything before running?

@Antique

ok got ioquake3 running fine but all green screen as a few people have mentioned on this thread already ..I laready have the quickfix update installed so wonder what the problem is?

@328gts

Try to download warpview from the depot. Check if that also gives you green screen? Set it on draw mode warp3d,if you get green screen there too. I think there is something wrong with your installation. Don't have quake3 here now. But no problems with warp3d here.

@Antique

ok I got warpview but every other program & pic is fine ..still only get green on Quake though..

@328gts
If you are getting a green screen, then it sounds like the Quick Fix was not fully installed. Try installing it again! Also check that you have the latest version - download it again from Hyperion.

@ChrisH

well I'll be ^%$$$ Reinstalled the QuickFix and Quake III running amazing on my Sam now..thanks
