now would be a great time for another source code leak for any of these idtech4 based games so people can check for vulnerabilities in the netcode
seeing a lot of talk of not connecting to/running your own Doom 3 server, either with source ports or the original game binary due to the possibility of remote code execution, people are unsure if this also impacts other games based on idTech 4 such as Quake 4 and Quake Wars

Blehhhhh why can't #Unreal_Engine 2.0 not be open source? Would really prefer that for my project over #idTech4 tbh for what I want to do. But hey the one cool thing Tim Swiney could do for a change he wont, open source old engine versions.

Meanwhile I get into #idTech4 you're not a #gamedev if you don't need some extra caffeine and spite, it will not be a good game...
Unity have just announced a brand new game engine - Unity Spark.
Along with the launch of Google Playground, Spark aims to make #gamedev as accessible as possible... and it's sure to be a polarizing product!

I adore Doom 3 for its level design, slower & more dramatic take on the story, and its idtech4 art direction - especially the techgore demon design. I appreciate what a divisive darkhorse its always been for the series, and i think its aged spectacularly all things considered

Deciding that I owe nothing to prior assets of Quake 4 is both liberating and overwhelming. I've spent an entire day sifting through ancient tutorial videos and pdfs, scraps of python scripts, logs of saved convos from idtech4 modders, and my takeaway is that md5mesh and md5anim must die

Is the person that put it up GitHub problematic? I try to stay clear of weirdos as well and I’m kind of out of the loop relating to the idtech4 community

I left idtech4 circles because I needed a break from the constant psychic chip damage that comes from hanging around people who are mad that there are consequences for saying slurs now, and seeing the same familiar names in servers again, I wonder if coming back was a mistake

technically most idtech4 games support >1 master server (net_master0 to net_master4) but something tells me q4master.idsoftware.com isn't coming back

I had a sneaking suspicion that quadrilateral cowboy was based on an idtech engine when I found that it used the same color escape codes (carat based) as q3a in its simulated computer
lo and behold, it's based on idtech4

After finishing prey 2006 yesterday i'm idtech4 pilled.
Decided to give Quake 4 a run, last time i finished this bad boy was 2012 i think.
This one I have since the release and still have my copy.

I would argue against this but like then your going down the IDTech4 source port rabbit hole and I can't think of a faster way to lose someone's interest.
It might be worth exploring since weaponizing this information could be useful as a way to psychically repel people.
