Bug#224286: ITP: dday -- D-Day Normandy, the original Quake2 WWII modification of First Person Shooters.

2004-04-10 Thread Alejandro Arrieta Rios
Hello

It's not entirely obvious to me, but is this the game data, or 
the game engine, or both ?

It uses the quake engine, but the game program, and game data is diferent. And 
they are GPL. It uses some of the original textures, but only a few. If you 
have the download file option active you can download the textures from any 
server that has the original CD with all the data.

Cool. So we can move quake2 (engine) to main. ;-)

PS: My memory might trick me, but Iirc quake2 is free save for the
data-files.

Yes, Quake2 engine is GPL, only the data files are closed.

Im still working on this mod(ification) using the Quake2 sources and diff from 
Debian sid. Im now contacting all map and texture makers to have a license 
file for their maps and extra textures.

Sorry to not answer before, but i couldnt find this bug page before.

Good bye

  Description : D-Day Normandy, the original Quake2 WWII modification of 
First Person Shooters.

In an attempt to recreate one of the most pivotal operations in World War II,
D-Day: Normandy pits Axis versus Allied forces against each other during the 
Normandy Campaign. Starting with Operation Overlord,soldiers must storm the 
scarred sands of Omaha Beach in order to gain a foothold into future land 
invasions.D-Day: Normandy's campaign system allows teams to actually gain or
lose territory by advancing the players back and forth between maps (depending
on which team wins the battle). In this way, players are able to relivethe 
battles from history while learning the importance of territorial control and
strategy.
