ProQuake 4 is the official continuation of the original ProQuake by J.P. Grossman.

ProQuake is a faithful GLQuake/WinQuake style Quake client incorporating several common sense features Quake should have had from the start such as ping in scoreboard, precise aiming, loc support.

ProQuake would become the standard Quake client for online play, although further development stopped in late 2002.

However, as time went on the client aged and was in need of newer features and as a result unofficial updates began in 2007. In December 2007, J.P. Grossman handed off the ProQuake project and the unofficial ProQuake project became the official continuation.

Beyond !
May 8, 2018 - Based on Mark V [Site].



Mark V - Release
November 18, 2016 - Mark V version 1.00 has been released. It is overloaded with capabilities never seen before. Once someone sees what it can do, there is no need to describe it nor type many words about it. In fact, if you have a sense of humor, it is more fun to keep it a secret while also not explaining what it can do. Secret projects are more fun that way. [Site]

I have a thrist of "The End"
May 23, 2014 - I have a thirst for "The End". I know not what shape or form this may take, but I have a large body of possible works on my hard drive and would love to give one of them final and total completion. This is one of the rare cases that spreading the word is more likely to make it true and change the landscape a little. Everyone knows I have massive quanitites of nearly completely works on my hard drive -- I have very little "free" time and probably over the next 6 months can finalize one. But I don't know which one, I will let white noise decide. Many things on my hard drive will have to rot, but one thing will be given the breath of life. Won't happen "soon" by conventional standards --- I am targeting Christmas as the time frame.

Final FitzQuake Mark V
October 3, 2013 - Mark V Engine (Final Version) [Download] In some ways, the Mark V engine represents the ultimate existing backwards compatible classic Quake engine with very subtle but addictive refinements -- with some great ProQuake and JoeQuake refinements, some great Quakespasm innovations, some of the "Baker-esque" refinements I tend to add to engines and some forward thinking ideas contributed by Spike and MH and some others like Reckless and Barnes at Inside3D!

Features:
  • FitzQuake 0.85 + much more!
  • Total gamedir switching (ex: "game masque -hipnotic").
  • Full video/mouse code rewrite!
  • Brightness only on game window.
  • ALT-ENTER: fullscreen | windowed.
  • Skill/gamedir recorded in demos.
  • Autocompletion of everything!
  • Demo rewind and fast forward!
  • 1001 other features I forget!
  • See readme

See the readme for full details. Better than average chance this is my final contribution to Quake. It has been a great ride!
