This is awesome! Great work! I love playing around with these older game engines that have source available, its really neat to explore how they work, and fiddle around with it.
back when I was in high school, my friend and I used Quiver [0] to make quake maps on macos - it was very fun. to think that quake networking worked under those old school modem conditions/latency is kind of wild. id3 truly were miraculous developers.
I remember asking someone who worked at my high school for a map of the school and remember thinking it would be fun to recreate the school... in quake... and probably model my least favorite teacher as a monster I could chase...
it's somewhat scary to think back about this - especially since Columbine happened the same year. there was no risk from me (absolutely no way or interest to access guns - we were teenage dweebs in a country with strict gun laws) but thinking back I'm glad I never finished my maps or shared them.
Very cool. It's impossible to explain how cool the GPU rendered preview window looked when we first saw it in the early map editors.

If you haven’t already, Fabien’s write ups of the various ID engines are a joy to read: https://fabiensanglard.net/quake3/index.php
Shameless plug: I also like to play around with old game engines: https://github.com/bishopdynamics/Continuum
This can actually accidentally become the best debugging tool for map files, ngl you should cook
Unbelievably cool!
Very cool! Would love a way to implement and play on the browser as well. Fingers crossed for that one..such a good game and very nostalgic.

Very cool. Are you compiling the maps with q3map2?
