It's not the complete source, but a package designed to give those that
want to modify/create levels, etc... an understanding of how things
work. If I remember correctly, it had a bunch of routines starting with
'Q_', those where routines from their actual rendering engine. I also
believe that none of the AI stuff was available. So, 'Quake 2 Source'
doesn't quite live up to it's name, 'Quake 2 Developer Kit' is probably
better. BTW, why would ID Software themselves release the source for a
library they are licensing for BIG bucks?
