These are some fairly sophisticated questions depending on your expereince with QuakeC and programming in general.
I certainly can't show you how to do these in a forum post but others probably can. But the good news is all or most of these are available as tutorials
on this hideously ugly but infinitely helpful website.

Does anyone know any of those old mods where you can play as a monster selected from a menu, and it includes the scr qc in the download?
Or how to decompile their progs.dat?
I think if I take a look how they did it, would help!

How Can I Run A Command On Player Spawn?
for example,i want to run "impulse 50" whenever i go to a new map. how can i do this? im using FTEQCC version 6202 and the ironwail 0.8.0. i've tried to use stuffcmd() in PutClientInServer() but it doesnt seem to have any real use since it cant run any command! do you guys know if it is even possible?

Guessing it's just sending the command before the client is ready to receive it. But what you've got going on is quite a complicated game of telephone. The server is sending a command to the client, which causes the client to send an impulse back to the server. Why don't we cut out the middleman by simulating the impulse without all the back and forth?
self.impulse = 9;
ImpulseCommands();

Compiling Alkaline W/ FTEQCC

Has anyone tried to compile Alkaline? I'm new to quake coding, but I've had success with copper compiling but sadly not Alkaline, the weird thing too is that it doesn't spit out any errors?? it just refuses to make a progs.dat file. Here are the screenshots
PS C:\Users\Lex> & "C:\Quake\FTEQCC\fteqcc64.exe" -src "C:/ak/src" -o progs.dat -Tfte
Successful compile:

All Alkaline
.QC files plus devkit stuff

No output?? shouldn't there be a progs.dat like it said? I've even moved it to C:/ak for testing.

Is there any chance it's generating it at
C:\Users\Lex\progs.dat?

I guess it doesn't matter now, I found the GUI somewhere and that "fixed" it 🤔 sadly not at C:\Users\Lex\progs.dat Thanks though!
