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