This engine is supposed to be open source but I have searched everywhere and haven't found a download. If you're going to put something up saying it's open sourced post a download or link will ya?
ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/source/
id Tech 2 is the engine of Quake 2.
(prefix it with ftp : // i can't post URL ATM)
For everyone who thinks Half-Life is based off id tech2:
Thats not really true, vale had license for Quake One and Quake Two Engine, but half-Life just uses the RAD lightning from Quake 2, and this Map feature which lets you go back again to the last map. The rest is from Quake and highly modified.
Apparently the story goes that they initially were hoping to use the Quake 2 engine however eventually decided to license the QuakeWorld engine. They brought over many fixes and changes from the Quake 2 engine however.
I wanna make a indie game with this, how do i get it?
