Check out The Nebula Device at www.radonlabs.de
It''s a free 3D engine developed by Radon Labs. The company is developin the engine for their next game Nomads, but they are distributing the engine for absolutely free.
Quake 2!

id distributes it free now under the GPL (?) license. It was such a good engine in its day; I just hope everyone is not so hung up on graphics nowadays that they can''t still see the beauty of the quake 2 engine.

You can download all the source and dev tools from id''s home page.

id never released the Quake 2 engine source code. They released the Quake 1 engine source. I dont know if they plan on releasing the Q2 source but the only Q2 source you can download is the game dll code, not the engine.

And there''s a damn lot thats been done with the Quake1 engine, putting it ahead in both features, eyecandy, and speed of other engines Ive seen around.

I always thought the q2 dll was the engine and the executable was the actual game. That''s how mods are done for this game I thought. I thought the gamer would modify the dll (the engine) so that the game performed differently

I might be wrong..

The Nebula Device is very cool. It''s a little lacking on documentation right now, but it''s getting better as people have starting writing tutorials and such.
