    I saw this on Slashdot last night. Will this give the game a new lease of life?

    "WarSpite was the first of many to write with the news that id has open-sourced the Quake 1 Source Code. This includes WinQuake, GLQuake, QuakeWorld, and GLQuakeWorld. Yes, it's been released under the GPL[?]. id's ftp site got the goods."

    Anyone remember about 6 - 8 months ago someone made a change to quakeworld called Fish Eye Quake (it was a FOV enhancement that looked pretty cool) but couldnt release it to the public as he wasn't allowed cause of some source code infringement. Will this mean he can release it now and if so does anyone know the site its on as I cant remember it.

    Seriously tho,
    does that include the source for QW?
    Cuz I'd like to raise the max texture size, and use some sexy high res textures, also increase the max polygon limit of the player .mdl's.

    But then again...
    One look at the Wolfenstein source was enough to scare me away from John Carmaks code forever! tongue.gif

    Sounds pretty fukkkin' cool anywayz.
