the source are only xatrix, this its a Reckoning
expansion loader for the yamagi-quake engine, i think

without this the expansion cannot be played
that's why i think its important

for packagin help, i currently upload a preliminary
dsc file for the venenux repo that can help to
that task to mantainer of the yamagi quake
(due package result must be in sync with main engine)


* Package name    : yamagi-xatrix
  Version         : 2.03
  Upstream Author : Yamagi Burmeister
* URL             : https://github.com/yquake2/xatrix/releases
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: C, C++
  Description     : 'The Reckoning' for Yamagi Quake II

Quake II missionpack "The Reckoning", developed by Xatrix Software
for used with the "Yamagi Quake II Client", but may work withe other
clients too.

This package has some bugfixeds over the main original
loader for play the mission pack with quake2 engines.

Hi alexandre and fabian
This its only for game data, not for game engine loading..
do u any time take a while and try to
understand the mechanish of quake 2 game mods?

depends of mod, the mod can require a game engine load
for certanin specific game logic, by example i'll try
to play the "zaero" exapansion without the "game.so" lib loading
and when arribe at firts door the door does not open
event inclusivelly after i push the swith ad run to it
after use the VERY compatible yzaero code of yamagi
now the game works perfectly.--
as i explained does not work!

same applied for xatrix and rogue, that's why i create
that request..

i read the license carefully and there's two things we can do:

1) the license only referts to Mocosoft software related "product", due
in conversations with layers in my country, this only applied to
the code and the product as well the "product" its only win32 executables
... so if the package produces binary debian this are not!
of course, any portion of code can be patched, so the
code can be put in non-free repository

2) provide only packages for autobuild when the game-data packager
has the data for games, as well are doing with modules/dkms

preliminary package was made for venenux here as starter point:

http://venenuxrepo.fundacite-aragua.gob.ve/mskcommon/games/quake2/

(waith around 45 minutes and dsc files will show up, i'm uploading)
my mentors key are not working, that's why i not upload to mentors!

please keep in CC the other bug

2015-09-29 12:57 GMT-04:30 Alexandre Detiste <alexandre.detiste@gmail.com>:
do works? for what quake? (and i'm very curius about a screen je je)
for quake1 only pure data its need, for quake 2 depends of mod,
by example, the doom2 mods loads and are playable without a loader
but xatrix, rogue and specially zaero in my setup at leas not!
yes! and its a pain for linux users that fact!

umm i have only the game-data-packager 36 not lasted i'm using squeeze
as main system and wheeze only for few things..
well maibe the "all" in arch are due mantainers think that mods for
quake2 are similar like quake1, but ar i see in git quake2 mod spected
a "game.so" as result...

umm then for thos two RFP rqeuest,
could one can generate a package and test if works

but in any case, the yamagi code focused on fixeds some bigs that id
soft does not, specially for linux!

and there's no game-data-packager for the zaero mod, and no linux
support (ion the official original disc the so file for linux crash
when loading)

the codes from yamagi are fully 64 bit clean! <<--------
as i see in game-data-packager maybe not necesary to see, but yes if
take in consideration package it due have many bugfixeds over original
id soft code and yamagi ports are fully 64bit clean

If you are not using a version that has current development, then
non-critical bugs will not be fixed in the version you are running. You
can have software that doesn't change, or you can have new things, but
you can't have both.

If the yquake2 game code was packaged in Debian, it would be packaged
for stretch (what will become Debian 9), not jessie (Debian 8), and
certainly not wheezy or squeeze (Debian 7 or 6).

That's most likely a bug in game-data-packager. The YAML should have a
tag for "this is architecture-dependent" which would be set on those two
packages.

From what I remember of their licenses, it would probably not be legal
to include them in Debian, even in non-free.

If you are developing a Debian derivative, and you want to ignore the
relevant copyright license and take the risk that you will be sued by a
copyright holder, that's your choice. However, that is not something
that Debian will do.

What is "the zaero mod"? Where could an interested developer download or
buy it?

We are certainly not going to upload something we can't test.

game-data-packager uses Yamagi's versions of the xatrix and rogue code,
not the original id Software releases. The number of bugs fixed is
exactly the same as if the same code was uploaded to Debian as packages.

    S

so then, this bug (both) now can be closed for!

thanks for clarification i dont have knowlegd due my game-data-packager are 36
so i wish to the lasted version of game-data-pacakge will be
backported for jeesie at least

Hi Simon,

Zaero is an unofficial add-on for Quake 2 that has once been sold on CD
-ROM, but is now available for free (Beer) Download e.g. here:

http://www.quakewiki.net/archives/teamevolve/zaero_manual.html

Let's say it is for Quake 2 what Hacx is for Doom 2.

Another one is Juggernaut, but I am not sure if this is available for
free...

Please note that new versions of these engines have been released at
Yamagi's site: the rogue add-on is at 2.02 and the xatrix one at 2.03:

https://github.com/yquake2/rogue/releases
https://github.com/yquake2/xatrix/releases

So, please update the package information in g-d-p accordingly. ;)

Thank you ,

Cloning a wishlist bug for this. It should end up rather similar to
xatrix and rogue, I think.

Unfortunately, the download link is broken now that Fileplanet has gone
down. Apparently it should be available somewhere in
<https://archive.org/search.php?query=fileplanet>, but good luck finding
it in there...

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/master/games/quake2-zaero/distinfo
has some hashes for the various files, but no hints about where to get them.

Yamagi doesn't have game code for this, and while briefly looking for a
download location I found a review saying it's hideously bad, so maybe
not worth bothering with anyway.

I've reassigned these RFPs to g-d-p and made them wishlist. Before
updating the version and sha*sums, a DD should check the diff and make
sure there's nothing malicious or horribly broken in the new release.

I don't think they can be packaged for Debian any other way, because
https://github.com/yquake2/xatrix/blob/master/LICENSE makes derivative
works non-distributable, as far as I can tell. If anyone else disagrees
with my assessment, and wants to take responsibility for packaging these
and getting them past the ftp-masters, feel free to reassign back to
wnpp and turn them into ITPs; but I'm not going to do it.

Similarly, if you think you can convince id lawyers to GPL the
xatrix/rogue game code, you're welcome to try.

    S

There's already a feature request,
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=800503>.
It will need non-free game code from https://github.com/yquake2/zaero
to be compiled on-demand, similar to the two official expansions (but
unlike CTF, for which the game-code is GPL, so I just bundled it into
yquake2).

https://github.com/yquake2/zaero says the game-code port is rather
experimental, so please mark it as disabled (see the Jedi Academy demo
in ja.yaml for syntax) unless/until you've done enough testing to be
able to confirm that it actually works well.
