Alien Quake (source code + help wanted)

[impact]

I am working on a Quake mod feautering Aliens. It is based on the old AlienQuake (this is a different project that recent 'Aliens' mod).

Some extremely-early work screens here:

Here are some newest shots:



Because of my limited time, I decided to suspend the work on the mod but if I hear from someone willing to help with the development, things should go rather smoothly. So, anyone who would like to help in this project, is asked to speak up.

You can download the very early version of the mod from here:

Yes, I am aware of the bugs and I know how to fix them, I just dont have time to do all of it by myself.

Notes:
1. First, start fteqwsv.exe. Then run the BAT file.
2. Try not to get killed as there is a graphical bug that will eat up your cpu.
3. Initial 4 maps are somewhat done, the last one (it's the first one where aliens appear) is just to tease you

In the Readme it says that before Fox's legal team had a word with the creators of this mod concerning copyright infringement the contact points were as follows:

The screenshots look promising and I hope this helps

Kind regards

Yeah, I emailed them already but these emails are either dead or abandoned.

If this is a 1996-1998 mod, then you probably can decompile it:

Don't expect the source code to be beautiful.

I know one of the Team Fortress mods use a decompiler because TF 2.7 source code was never released.

The reason this works on very old mods is that there were no custom compilers. After the Quake compiler source was released and custom compilers were created, those can't be decompiled due to optimization.

That's not exactly correct. There is at least one decompiler that can handle some modern optimizations.

Thanks for the tip. I will check that out.

Decompile with ProQcc

It comes out with some minor errors. Good luck! I really don't think anyone cares about this project anymore. It's been up for download on quaketerminus.com for years

Regular decompiler returns unusable code but Frik decompiler produces sweet results. I have been modding the code all day, learing on the way, and got some awesome results.

Hmm. Looks interesting, I might try it.

Check out the update in the first post.
