Archiving the history of the video game Quake 2: created by id Software; customized by the Quake 2 community.
The Coven was an independent computer games developer with its roots in the Doom and Quake communities. Originally founded by John "Gestalt" Bye in late 1996, The Coven worked on a free Doom II add-on before moving on to Quake and going commercial in the summer of 1997. The Coven was closed in the winter of 1999, and all their work is now available for free.
Check out the old PlanetQuake page for 007 Q2 aka "Time Goes Backwards" mod for Quake 2 by IoN_PuLse - team leader, head coder, mapper, modeler, skinner, texturer, sound artist, etc.
It's 007 meets Quake 2! 007Q2 is the perfect mod to bone up on your skills at the weapons spies use. Weapons like the PP7, AK-47, and ZMG 9mm are what get the killing done, and a plethora of other guns and explosive toys to eliminate the threat were thrown in for good measure. Need to lay a trap for that enemy you just can't seem to kill? Try some proximity mines or maybe a remote controlled one, just to be extra sure. Gotta go somewhere high real quick? The handy dandy grappling hook will get you there on time!
I spent several weeks discovering, by trial and error, the techniques needed to make practically anything out of brushes. What I know is just the result of alot of hard thinking, and staring at a computer screen. I havent talked to Carmak or anyone that is really educated on the subject of 3d engines, and I’m sure that if I did, I’d have more to say on this subject.
What can I tell you about 3tctf... Well, it's the only 3 team CTF with the original CTF in it. NO Classes, just the normal CTF like you know it. Final version of the game will contain: A total of 8 maps. 7 of them are designed by DOL's MapLAB. Map '3tctf6, Lord's cave' is made by iQ.Lord Darkness. There will be a win32 and a Linux version of the mod. Skins and textures are made by [DOL]MissRookie. Programming is done by DCB-SuperCow! and porting of the mod to a Linux version is done by *NuT5*Dessignator and Grizzly.
