So a crazy idea was turned into a serious project. and IPv6 support for EliteForce would be pretty cool too. maybe I can finally play my beloved multiplayer game I've been clinging to for over 5 years on my favorite OS natively. So it got me thinking: If I fix all these incompatibilities.

There were some quirks here or there, but most of the menu really worked. It was nothing big and after fixing this the menu worked! Incompatibility in one of the data structures used to pass information between engine and virtual machine. I digged in Raven's multiplayer source that they released (only the virtual machine stuff, to allow for building modifications) and compared it to quake3's virtual machines and realized that there was a small This meant this stuff is not completely incompatible after all, it didn't crash right away though that was exactly what I expected it to do. I heard some sounds and when I moved the cursor I heard random click-clicks from the mouse going over some menu buttons. When I started the program first the screen went black and nothing happened. The Quake3 source has been released more than half a year ago and I got the crazy idea to try the quake3 engine with EliteForce on my trusted Gentoo Linux.

What was the motivation for me doing this project? Now, the next few paragraphs are just some random blabla about the advantages of this release, but if you want to you can just skip it and go right to the installation instructions. This engine has full compatibility for the newer _and_ the original EliteForce protocol, clients using the original engine can use newer servers, and clients using my engine can use old servers, too. This means: you can *not* play single player missions with this project. To make it possible to run EliteForce holomatch.
