Impressive, given how old Q1 engine is. It brings back memories of Paranoid Doom mod: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/p-r/par...

FTE barely qualifies as a pure Quake engine at this point though, it does tons of stuff.

vkazanov•24m ago

It does a lot, yes, but also is very much a continuation of the original codebase - i've spent quite some time tinkering with internals of it.

jsheard•20m ago

Yeah, but Half Life 2's Source engine was itself a continuation of the Goldsrc codebase which was itself a continuation of the Quake 1 codebase. The lineage is there but beyond a certain point it's not really Quake anymore.

GZDoom/UZDoom is in a similar grey area, it is a direct continuation of the Doom codebase but they've added so much stuff that it's practically its own distinct engine now.

vkazanov•17m ago

We'd have to come up with definition of quake :-) FTE has a lot bolted on it but the focus us in Quake, quake mods, lifting some limitations and making mod dev convenient.

But it is the same overall code structure, the same game, etc.

All these oss quake engines, are they quake? Ironwail, quakespasm vkQuake?

Seems to be using a dnsft.cloud.zyxel.com certificate. Is this a home router?

>The game is not playable from start to finish. You can play deathmatch and other odd modes.
