Quake2 on Linux by compiling Yamagi Quake

On my previous post, I talked about using game-data-packager to install Quake2... but what if you want to do it from scratch?

This blog post is basically a distillation of the Yamagi Quake Readme.md, but I hope that it'll help.

1. Download Yamagi Quake2 7.10
2. Download q2-3.20-x86-full-ctf.exe patch
3. Use Wine to extract the 3.20 patch to an empty directory, say, "quake2"
4. Extract Yamagi Quake2 7.10 to the "quake2/" directory (above)
5. Make a temp directory, say, "yamagi make files"
6. Go into "yamagi make files" directory
7. Clone repository:  git clone https://github.com/yquake2/yquake2.git
8. Install Dependencies:  apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev zlib1g-dev
9. Build it: type "make"
10. Copy everything from the "release" folder into your "quake2" folder (step 3)
11. Copy "pak0.pak" and "videos/" folder from a full version of the game to "quake2/baseq2" folder
12. Start fragging:  Type "./quake2" in your quake2 folder
