Awesome, thanks for the research, guys!

Well, thanks for bringing it to attention again.

It looks like all of that can be fixed by porting stuff from the QW progs or just writing some things yourself. We just fixed the Shub crash in our own way. The secret door fix is in QW.

Edit: Here's the GPL 1.01 source with the missing fixes ported from the GPL QW source.

We probably can't add too many QIP fixes because of their missing license, but I added the fish fix and the door unlock sound fix.

thhis is cue to my small sdk tut i was goig to start on quakeone
i found all this 1.01 gpl 1.06 limbo qip stuff a bit leary
i wanted to explain to the public about how to take the gpl quake progs and
get it to a iseable state befor lne evenstarts to make his mod
which might drive new modders away
i had diffed 1.01 and 1.06 and was starting the merge process with exanations along the way
but honestly i dont think that is a pertinent step now
tha ks for the info guys i can now fix and start with a brief changelog
with 1.01 then get right into adding feature tuts

Shit. And I was even aware of your efforts rook. I wasn't even thinking about that thread at all, me and gb just sort of dove right in.
Sorry about that.

[goldenboy]

Looks like a few of us had the same idea.

no worries! i've been fighting time IRL to get much of anything accomplished. There's a lot of monster code I never dealt with
Plus this gives me a chance to spend more time combing through my old code to remember things i did 10 years ago

Well, maybe that's not really what you are talking about, but a modernization of the base quake code for prospective modders (e.g. move stuff to the client side via CSQC etc.) would probably be a great idea too.

[gnounc]

Ive been waiting ages for someone to completely overhaul the standard quake gamecode. BONUS points to anyone who does what julius said and moves the logical stuff clientside.

Would be awesome.

the number 106 already gives it away that urqp wasn't based on 1.01, in my opinion.

1.06 is the non-GPL version.

But I'll need to look at the code to be sure.
