QuakeForge: An Open Quake Development Project

The QuakeForge project's aim is to create a long lasting project to work on developing and extending the Quake(R) source release (and any future releases) while maintaining backwards compatibility with the original Quake(R). We plan to further it's gaming abilities and even develop it beyond its original purpose as a game and into a virtual world. Currently we are merging QW and Q1, smoothing the engine out, fixing bugs/cheats, better organizing the engine, adding features, and porting to as many platforms as developers are willing. News	2000-1-11: Sam Lantinga is working with the QuakeForge project on maintaining SDL support. Here is a portion of an email I recieved from him: From: Sam Lantinga To: Nelson Rush ... [NR] Btw, I've been talking with Carmack, I mentioned the SDL and GGI support and your and Maas work on getting SDLQuake in the tree. I think he likes the project so far, I'll be keeping in contact with him... we've already fixed lots of things by questioning him. If you need any fixes for your version of SDLQuake...[NR] [SL] I'd rather help complete the SDL merge and just point to you guys. You rock, BTW. :) [SL] ... 2000-1-10: We need help implementing IPv6, fixing Svgalib, merging the Aftershock renderer, porting to Amiga, MacOS, BeOS, or any other platforms. We also could use a hand in devising free replacements for the textures/maps/models/etc. Join our mailing list to see about contributing. 2000-1-9: Feature FREEZE, unstable release 0.1.0 coming soon. 2000-1-7: Vote in this survey for the new Quake(R) and QuakeWorld(R) engine name. 2000-1-6: Critical download, grab our GPL'd mdfour replacement for the proprietary md4 code accidently left in the q1source release: zip/tar.gz
