    Link: Quake2 Gwt Port

    Desc: Quake2 is one of the most popular FPS game. It as been the first FPS using the mouse and some awesome lighting techniques

    The game is hosted on my own server on another port (8080). It requires WebSocket, another standard to allow direct connection between the browser and the server. Solo mode, Multiplayer, Sound... Everything is ok.. and for free

Quake 2 – WebGL

Quake 2 - Deathmatch

Quake 2 - Deathmatch

Shortly after landing on an alien surface, you learn that hundreds of your men have been reduced to just a few. Now you must fight your way through heavily fortified military installations, lower the city’s defenses and shut down the enemy’s war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known.

This WebGL version of Quake 2 is done by Google. This is an amazing demonstration of what we can do with a browser. The 3D using WebGL, combined with WebSocket (Realtime Network between the Browser and the Server) and with Audio elements, allow the game to be complete. There is even a multiplayer mode (requires to find a server).

    Thanks for putting this online — looks like this is going to be a great site! :grin:

  2. Crystalin (admin) May 14, 2010 at 1:52 pm

    Thank you Charles. I think it is a good idea to promote WebGL demos/games for this technology which is promising. And I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’ll try to include a suggestion form to help the website and listen to everyone ideas. I’m actually contacting other persons playing with WebGL to add them on the website.

  3. aa May 14, 2010 at 10:26 pm

    Great!
    But as gilles from learning WebGL I get an “unsupported” error although I try it in Chromium (Linux).

  5. Skofo May 14, 2010 at 11:04 pm

    Does not appear to work for me. =[ Gets stuck at loading the last image or creating an audio element.

  6. Crystalin (admin) May 15, 2010 at 4:00 am

    I updated the page about supported browsers. About the errors I’ll look the log but I think it is related to the browser more than the game.

    Thanks for trying it

  7. Jon May 15, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    I get 20 fps on the benchmark with the latest WebKit nightly on a 10.6 2.66 core 2 duo macbook pro

    It takes awhile to load some of the files and it appears to be doing nothing, but it loads and plays.

  8. AaronMT May 15, 2010 at 10:40 pm

    This works beautifully on a Webkit Nightly (in particular r59204+). Multiplayer, it attempts to connect to 127.0.0.1 – if I’m not mistaken, it makes use of WebSockets but I dont think HTML5 WebSockets has support for UDP?

  9. Crystalin (admin) May 16, 2010 at 2:47 am

    Thank you for testing it. The server is not actually on a high bandwidth so it can take a moment to load every textures and …
    About UDP you are right. It is not supported directly by WebSocket but the connection is not done by the client directly, but through the server using the WebSocket. I’ll install a Quake 2 Server too allow multiplayer.

  10. Sabine May 17, 2010 at 12:24 pm

    Amazing to play such a game in a browser.
    (Chromium 6.0.407.0 (47395),Win XP)

  11. aa May 18, 2010 at 11:48 am

    Running with –enable-webgl –in-process-webgl works in chromium!

  12. Crystalin (admin) May 19, 2010 at 1:11 am

    @aa : Thanks for the tips

  13. WoRMs May 21, 2010 at 8:16 am

    winxp+ati+chromium 6.0.412.0 (47877) or chrome 6.0.408.1 dev doesn´t work :(

    it stop in “creating audio element sound/misc/menu1.wav.mp3″ on chromium with –enable-webgl –in-process-webgl

    :\

  14. WoRMs May 21, 2010 at 8:36 am

    now crash before to see ingame menu :\

    sorry for my bad english :oops:

  15. Crystalin (admin) May 23, 2010 at 2:29 pm

    Probably Chromium (Minefield too) Nightly Builds are not stable enough. I don’t know more about it but the best way to try the game is to try with another browser/version.

  16. WoRMs May 25, 2010 at 12:21 pm

    ok, thx.

  17. Ilmari June 3, 2010 at 11:15 pm

    Works awesome so far with Chrome on Mac OS (macbook pro) and on Windows XP, and ” –enable-webgl ” (not sure about “in-process-webgl”) :)

    Chromium seems to freeze on both machines though.

  18. Skofo June 25, 2010 at 9:14 pm

    Is the demo down? I’m getting a 404…

  19. Crystalin (admin) June 26, 2010 at 2:33 am

    Yes, my server is actually down because of a storm. I’m getting another one.

  20. TAtari July 11, 2010 at 12:51 pm

    I’ve put up a mirror until the normal server is back up.

  21. Crystalin (admin) July 11, 2010 at 1:29 pm

    Good idea… i’ll change the link to yours
    Thanks

  22. nerdy_kid July 20, 2010 at 3:07 pm

    getting a 404 on that too, dont think port 8080 is open

  23. Nicholas Chase July 20, 2010 at 10:23 pm

    Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to tatari.se:8080

    I hope it comes back up soon!

  24. TAtari July 23, 2010 at 7:26 pm

    Its back up again… had to do some maintenance and forgot to restart it.

  25. Crystalin (admin) July 24, 2010 at 2:07 am

    Thanks again :)
    On my last server I added it directly at the startup :)

  26. DaVince July 28, 2010 at 2:00 pm

    Pretty impressive! It does show that Chrome’s WebGL still has its work cut out, as it was rather slow on my dual-core Athlon X2 @ 1.2 Ghz.

    [quote]Works awesome so far with Chrome on Mac OS (macbook pro) and on Windows XP, and ” –enable-webgl ” (not sure about “in-process-webgl”) :)[/quote]
    The browser will probably freeze up if you don’t include –in-process-webgl.

    i don’t think i’m a retard, but i can’t get webgl to work for shit, i did everything as advised, and it still says webgl support required

  35. Bram November 27, 2010 at 8:28 pm

    Looks likes it only works in Google Chrome 6, so don’t try it in version 5,7,8 or 9. I think Quake 2 webgl needs an update.

  36. George December 30, 2010 at 8:17 am

    hi guys, haha.. it works here. firefox 4 beta 8. but mous sensitivity is killing me (I would need to switch my desktop mouse sensitivy down).
    and the game is not easy to play because it’s not in da flow :) I get stops, and hangers all around.

    I am on a windows7, i5 fujitsu business notebook and have enough 2D/3D performance.

    maybe I need to wait for updates here.

    cheers and thanx for the site.

  37. youcan January 18, 2011 at 7:55 pm

    With WebKit Version 5.0.3 (6533.19.4, r75891) on iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo and 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I got 15-30 fps, but the sound is often delayed.

    Why not a Quake I version!

    Best regards

  38. DaVince February 19, 2011 at 2:41 am

    Kind of doesn’t work because half of the resources are 404′ing.

  39. MikE February 20, 2011 at 5:50 pm

    I thought that it has better performance :???:

    The port for Symbian runs faster on a 369MHz CPU without a FPU.

    WebGL is nice but it needs GPU accel.

  40. Zigo March 6, 2011 at 8:56 pm

    I don’t see enemies and my weapon. It’s normal?

  41. Crystalin (admin) March 6, 2011 at 11:07 pm

    Sometimes with the lag yes.
    Or maybe the server is bugged. I’ll check that and maybe update it if I have time

  42. Pixelflo April 3, 2011 at 5:52 pm

    Does’nt seem to work on firefox 4 for me for some reason :(

  43. Andi April 16, 2011 at 4:52 am

    Chromium 9.0.597.94 (Developer Build 73967) Ubuntu 10.10

    I played the game in about 20 seconds… and the window closed… :shock:

  44. NOP April 16, 2011 at 4:01 pm

    A lot of 404 errors, seems like enemies are invisible…

  45. Spiney April 18, 2011 at 5:28 am

    Works, but doesn’t show models, only bsp. Also some textures seem to be missing.

  46. Vee April 25, 2011 at 7:28 pm

    Everything nice, but how the hell do I exactly apply the thing for Chromium? If you give info what is needed to make it run, also would be good to tell HOW to do it, yanno?
    Can anyone explain what I exactly need to do with Chromium to make it work? (I use Linux)

  47. Xathien April 25, 2011 at 10:12 pm

    The latest Chromes and Chromiums can’t render models anymore for some reason, but Firefox 4 works natively. The multiplayer, however, only works if you use a developer option to turn Websocket on.
