Pak0.pak and Pak1.pak using OpenQuartz, id Map Sources

I compiled the Quake maps using the iD Map Sources and spent some time making a pak0.pak and pak1.pak that have 100% of the models and sounds. I used simple textures as the basis for the textures, figuring that those would for sure be in the clear. This stuff can be improved later, but I wanted to focus on something workable and done first.

Admittedly, I filled a lot of holes with null.wav and a couple of missing models, I duplicated some of the existing OpenQuartz models and renamed them to the fill the void.

I also took Plague's Pak, some pretty nice replacement models and also changed some of the sounds with free sounds I found on "free sounds" web sites.

I wanted to post this here to get feedback on this and other thoughts since you guys are pretty much "the brains" in Quake.

/Note: 2 maps have issues so far: DM5 is somehow full bright and END isn't exactly like the real end map in the ID map source release.

I've got something to add to this:

As Richard Stallman would say, the GPL is about freedom to do whatever you choose with the released work ... sometimes even knowing that someone might use it to do something you didn't think of and maybe not even agree with.

This can be done with 100% GPL stuff right now.

Either ID Software supports the GPL and everything that comes with that or they do not. I believe they do.

I believe jack and shit will come from CheapAlert's whining, to be bluntly honest. I intend to do this in an absolutely ethical and appropriately documented manner.

To some, like CheapAlert, the idea of the true intent of GPL is lost on him and is nothing more than something to use in a nerd argument.

But the GPL is about freedom.

Either ID Software meant to release the engine and the map sources to the GPL or they did not. I believe they DO understand what the GPL is about and released the sources KNOWING what the GPL means and stands for.

But if I am somehow wrong -- and I am not -- and CheapAlert's point of view is what happens, then ID Software should never have released the map sources under the GPL.

/Btw ... thanks for the clarification, Up2
