AmiQuake2 1.14 RTG
- modified for running into RTG mode
AmiQuake2 1.14 AGA
- by NovaCoder
Known bugs in the original 1.14
- problems using TLSFMem when you quit the game
Installation highly recommended
- 68060 mathieeedoubtrans.library 46.00 from Matthias Henze in Sys:Libs/
- install mathieeedoubas.library 45.881 r11 from Peter Keunecke in Sys:Libs/
- for Phase5/DCE boards, install the 68060.library 46.16 in Sys:Libs/
- if using the Workbench 3.1, install the little 68040.library too

Overview :
Amiga AGA 68k port based on Yamagi Quake II v5.10
Yamagi Quake II is an enhanced client for id Software's Quake II.
The main focus is an unchanged single player experience like back in 1997,
thus the gameplay and the graphics are unaltered. Over 1000 bugs were fixed
and an extensive code audit done, making Yamagi Quake II one of the most
solid Quake II implementations available. Other than most ports Yamagi
Quake II is full 64 bit clean, so it works perfectly on modern 64 bit
processors and operating systems. Yamagi Quake II is supported on FreeBSD,
Linux, and Windows (XP or higher) and AmigaOS 3 !
Requirements :
1) An AGA Amiga (PAL/NTSC)
2) A very fast 68060 processor (100+ MIPS !)
3) 64MB of FASTRAM (see below)
4) The original game or demo
5) AHI Installed and set up correctly (see below)
Features :
1) 256 color double buffered AGA 320x200 graphics
2) Mouse wheel support for changing weapons
3) AHI 8/16 bit Mono/Stereo sound support
Configuration Options :
You must run AmiQuake 2 from the WB, running from the Shell is not supported
You must specify a stack of at least 300,000
Any errors *should* be written to a file called 'ERROR.TXT' in the game directory
You can change the sound quality between high (16 bit) and normal (8 bit) from the Options Menu
The AHI device used will be the one set up in your AHI Prefs (music unit), this information is written to the Quake console for reference
You can choose between Mono and Stereo sound with the console command 's_channels'
You can choose between PAL and NTSC with the console command 'r_ntsc' (or by editing config.cfg)
Installation :
You need either the demo or retail game Pak files installed in the 'baseq2' folder
If you want to run the full retail game you must unpack your Pak files (using Pak Explorer or similar) to your 'baseq2' folder to conserve memory
Performance Considerations :
1) You should always patch exec.library's CopyMem() and CopyMemQuick() routines for faster processor specific versions
2) Loading your ROM into FASTRAM is a great idea (see below !)
3) If you have a Blizzard you should really be using BlizKick to get most out of your Amiga, Apollo users should be using RemApollo
4) Dynamic lighting is slow (console command 'cl_lights')
5) Alpha blending is slow (console command 'sw_stipplealpha')
6) AHI seems to perform better if you set up AHI Prefs to match the game's desired settings
7) Use v4.18 of AHI as the later versions are too slow !
8) If you are using Paula, stick with the 'FAST' 8 bit Mono/Stereo++ modes for AHI (prefs) - a real 16 bit card *might* be faster with a 16 bit 'FAST' mode
9) Install HSMathLibs
Limitations :
1) No network or multi player support
2) No hardware 3D support
3) Only the original game and official expansion packs are supported
