FvF still a thing?

Sheesh, I can't believe the website is still up after so many years! Wow! It's been a super long time. I'm coming back to good ole quake and I thought it would be awesome to sink some time into FvF, if it's still alive and kicking.

Still here! I can't really play right now (work stuff) but if you hop on the FvF server and wait a while, someone will probably show up.

quake.shmack.net is active, too, if you like runequake.

With the re-release of Quake everywhere I'm back trying to get things to work.

I know everything is locked down by you guys, but I miss playing the level based game in on the base maps coop with my friends like I did more than 20 years ago, so I hung on to some older versions of FVF.

Locked down?

The server runs quest mode by default.

And there's a Vote command to change it to whatever mode you want. But yeah, it's pretty much always in Quest mode, which in the cooperative game.

so I hung on to some older versions of FVF.

Hey, what older versions do you have?
The server is based on FvF 2.09 (greatly modified beyond that -- anything beyond 2.09 requires custom models).
I have maybe one older version that was 1.75 or so. Then there was the versions 3 and 4 that came later.
If you have some version I don't have saved, I might want a copy.

Locked down?

The server runs quest mode by default.

What I mean is that I can't run it on a personal server and that code base doesn't leave your possession.

Is all good though!
