Quake II for Debian
===================
Game data
---------
The Quake II engine requires game data to run. The data is not freely
redistributable. You should use the 'game-data-packager' tool to install it.
Switching engines
-----------------
There is no canonical upstream developer for the Quake engine, but several
forks might be packaged in Debian in future. This package can use any
compatible engine.
Currently, the recommended engine is yamagi-quake2.
To select a particular Quake engine once, you can use the --engine option:
quake --engine=/usr/lib/yamagi-quake2/quake2
To change the preferred engine system-wide, reconfigure the quake2-engine
alternative:
sudo update-alternatives --config quake2-engine
Each Quake engine has its own dot-directory, with its own configuration and
potentially its own savegame format. If you switch between two engines
using update-alternatives (or by installing a second and uninstalling the
first), you will have to configure the new engine separately, and any
single-player savegames will not be visible to the new engine.
