-cleancodequake2
A clean, object oriented game DLL (NOT ENGINE) base for Quake 2
code.google.com/p/cleancodequake2/



An object oriented, clean and stable version of the Quake II modding gamex86.dll system.

This project aims to provide a clean, efficient, quick base for any modding you plan to deliver on Quake II. It also provides an easy to use, C++ base.

Features at a glance:

* Full use of C++'s features, such as classes, templates and inline functions
* Original long-standing bugs fixed
* Object oriented entity system
* Private server entities that don't take up any network space (deathmatch only)
* A timer system that can be used to schedule things without using an entity (deathmatch only)
* Entity-based saving, loading, and fields for level parsing
* String hashed lookup tables
* C++ game API wrapper
* Several addon features, such as Rogue AI, Astar pathfinding, and much more available via macros
* "Junk" entity system to reduce the amount of junk on the map at once
* Full object-oriented standalone item system and weapon system
* Several optimizations to keep the game running smoother and faster than ever before
* Aim to offer increased stability over original Quake II
* Supports any Quake II 3.20 engine
* Has it's own memory and file system to better manage what comes in and what goes out
* Memory system based on EGL; has memory pooling, and puddle management for small allocations
* A parser system to replace Com_Parse
* A version checker to make sure you're always running the latest version
* An exception handler that can generate a crash dump for us to examine crashes much more easily
* The exception handler can also recover from a crash and continue game-play!
* Media system to better handle media indexing
* Platform-independent classes and functions
* At the moment, only Windows is supported, but Linux is planned
* CTF built-in (dubbed CleanCTF), can be disabled with the CLEANCTF_ENABLED macro
* Object oriented math classes, such as vec3f for 3d vectors
* STL container usage to optimize memory usage
* STL memory containers for our pooling system
* A custom menu system that has a .NET-similar API
* Several common controls (Image, Label, Slider, Spin control) and the ability to create custom controls with ease
* An easier to read error and warning print system for maps
* A map debug mode (mostly still in development) that can let you edit maps without using a map editor
* An entity replacement system (.ccent) that supports special preprocessor commands
* Cvar system to make cvar management easier and faster
* Banning system to ban people from entering the game, entering spectator mode, or to stop them from talking
* Object oriented monster system
* Replacements for nearly all of the game import functions; these replacements are either faster or more secure, or both!
* Optional deprecation (Visual Studio 2005+ only) for deprecated game import functions, to help you avoid deprecated functions
* Trace system
* Easier to manage statusbar system
* PMove code modifyable from the game DLL (note: client prediction will not like many changes!)
* Net optimizations to make sure that data is only sent if it needs to be sent!
* A "write queue" to allow net optimizations to happen
* Sound playing optimization to only push one sound per channel for one entity
* Command argument system to allow easier access to typed subcommands
* Much, much more! Download the binaries and source for yourself!

Very interesting indeed
