Quetoo development officially began in January 2007. But really, Quetoo was born out of a dorm room in the late 1990s — a time when Quake wasn’t just a game, it was an obsession. In the early 2000’s, the open source release of the Quake engine taught a generation how to write code, how to build maps and map compilers, how renderers worked, and how to think in 3D. For many, us included, Quake was a doorway to lifelong friendships and careers in software development or game design.
Decades later, Quetoo is our counterpoint to the modern arena shooter. Quetoo’s gameplay is not mathematically balanced. The arenas are not starkly lit techno-voids, and when you blow your buddies up, their giblets bounce off of jump pads and fly through teleporters. Quetoo exists to make Quake fun again.

Map resurrection time at ..::LvL - Two older releases have found their way to the archive. One is all serious and only wants to talk about clean shots, the other is more aware of the fun side of Q3A.
* The CPM Base by Cyberdemon
* Alien World by Geit

A new version of QrustyQuake is out now on GitHub, with the following features added since v0.7.0:
-CSQC implementation for custom mod HUD support
-Palette configuration menu
-Custom maps menu
-Mods menu
-More modern console features
-Autosaving/loading
-"quickexit" cvar
-"resurrect" command
For a full feature list, check out the GitHub readme.
This release brings the port to what I would consider a "feature-complete" state, with most modern mods at least playable, but looking like they would in WINQUAKE.EXE from 1997.
From now on, most of the effort will go into compatibility and stability improvements. Submit an issue on GitHub if you find any problems, especially with modern mods!

For the first time in Map-Center’s young existence we get to celebrate a major anniversary for Quake. We love doing our Retro, Traps and Xmas jams for the game, but this one is of course extra special. We’ve decided to not only pay tribute to the original game, but also honour people like Fingers, Kell and Metslime who were instrumental in the early days of Quake modding.
That means you can use the IKBLUE, IKBASE, Knave and Rubicon texture wads for this event. We’ve also come up with some very specific guidelines to ensure this event stays true to the original game so please take note of that. Now, let’s celebrate 30 years of Quake together!
Specific details and rules here
