The official open-source game DLL code for the 2023 rerelease of Quake II, released by id Software under GPL-2.0. It combines the original baseq2, ctf, rogue, and xatrix game modules into a single C++17 codebase with a new modding API and client game module.

Use cases

• create mods for the Quake II rerelease
• port existing Quake II mods to the new 2023 API
• study the source code of a classic FPS game
• build custom game logic DLLs for Quake II
• make new maps using the included FGD and TrenchBroom config
• add new weapons or enemies to Quake II

When to choose

• you want to mod the 2023 Quake II rerelease
• you need the official combined codebase supporting all expansion packs
• you want to learn from id Software's game module code

When to avoid

• you are modding the original 1997 Quake II rather than the rerelease
• you need official support or documentation from id Software
• you want a full engine rather than just the game logic DLL
