Wow Tom! no way! That's way cool! <smile> Actually, it's not altogether surprising, as you might be surprised how many games still use variants of that engine in some form...
Not sure if you're aware, but though Doom gets cred for being the first 3d FPS it wasn't truly 3d as the creatures and such were 2d models and some of the map features also couldn't be viewed in true panoramic 3d. Quake on the other hand changed all that and was the first truly 3d engine which amazes me as it's still used today, as I said. Incidentally, as of late 2005, Quake 1 has just come out on certain cell phones which have graphics acceleration, and will run all, I repeat all, Quake 1 mods! So technically, it would be possible to run audio Quake on a cell phone! dig?... <smile> Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but just had to! <smile> As for VEF, I'm wondering if that may be why their license agreement is a bit open ended like that? As the Quake 3 engine / game code is also open source... Which brings me to your idea. I agree that it would be pretty easy to come up with an accessible version of VEF based on that engine. My work has been concerned with quake 1, but I'll most definitely give this a look up on the web and see what I can find. <smile> Need another pair of hands?! anyway, this is definitely a terrific idea which I'd love love love to see happen!
