I first got into it just this month with the Quake II GWT project, which has ported the Quake II engine to run in a browser with no plug-ins under HTML5. It's still a work in progress, but very cool. But there's one hitch: since the Quake II demo resources are commercial, you can't publicly host it anywhere. You have to install it locally, which takes some library set-up and console commands.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I really wish there was a way to host it publicly somewhere, so that anyone with a WebKit nightly build could go there and try it out easily. To do that, what we'd need is a full set of mod resources that have no dependencies on the commercial Quake 2 resources. This means that you could run it with just the Quake II engine open source code, and this open-source mod: no demo resources. That would mean totally different levels, models, textures, and sounds.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Does such a thing exist? I have no idea if all mods are patches to the commercial resources, or if something this standalone exists. Please let me know - it would be very cool to have Quake II running in the browser! Let me know if what I've said makes no sense because of my ignorance of all this,</span><br><span></span><br><span>If you're interested in running it locally on Mac or Linux, I've made some additions to their instructions to make it easier:</span><br><span></span><br><span><a href="http://joshjustice.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/getting-quake-ii-working-in-webkit-mac/" x-apple-data-detectors="true"><a href="http://joshjustice.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/getting-quake-ii-working-in-webkit-mac/">http://joshjustice.wordpress.com/2010/04/02/getting-quake-ii-working-in-webkit-mac/</a></a></span><br><span></span><br><span>-- </span><br><span>Josh Justice</span><br><span><a href="mailto:josh@joshjustice.com" x-apple-data-detectors="true"><a href="mailto:josh@joshjustice.com">josh@joshjustice.com</a></a></span></span></body></html>
