Headhunters Source Located

[Baker]

Frenzy had made a statement in another thread that the HeadHunters Quake source code has vanished off the face of the planet.

http://www.quakeone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1636

I did a lot of Googling around and searching, and while there were references to the source file, they weren't on the internet. The source is "available upon request" -- haha, from an email address that is sure to be 8 years obsolete

I asked Yugo2Heck if he had the source since he has a HeadHunters server (lab.ihoc.net:26005) and he found that he had the source for HeadHunters 1.0 and actually has the source to HeadHunters/Artifact-RJS, a hybrid made by Chuck.

I feel better knowing a very well-known mod's source code isn't gone forever, and the discovery of Chuck's Headhunters/Rune Quake hybrid was a nice suprise

(Chuck's hard drive and web file host both were coincidentally wiped within a single week last year, the first by hard drive failure and the 2nd by an Essentrix server failure, destroying a great many of his huge list of creations).

/Artifact-RJS is the immediate predecessor to Rune Quake.

Headhunters 1.0 Source
Headhunters/Artifact-RJS 3.5 Source

Thanks Yugo :d :d :d

I have the HeadHunters 3.0 Source code from years ago. Here is the actual content of the readme file inside it.

---=== Headhunters v3.0 Soucre Code ===---


Here they are, all the .qc files for both Quake and
Quakeworld. Modify at will. The splash screen is in
head.qc, along with MOST of the modifications. Enjoy.

Also, I have pretty much every mod/file for Quake 1 ever created. So if anyone is looking for something rare then let me know and I probably have it.

Excellent!

Can you post a link to the file so we can put it in the archive here?

Thanks, Getogamer! This has been added to the archive :d

Download: Headhunters 3.0 Source Code

[Grim]

Way to go getogamer. Nice to see that there is someone that's a packrat.:d

[Net-Tyme]

I love packrats.

[scar3crow]

I love CheapAlert.

Fixed that for you.

But in all seriousness, its cool to see it found, though granted Id say the majority of the I3D regulars could code Headhunters on their own within a day... Just not me because Im an incompetent ass.

What kind of compiler should I use?
I tried the FTE QuakeC compiler, but it reported alot of errors.
Some help would be very appreciated.

[Baker]

FrikQCC is well known for it's wide compatibility. FrikQCC 2.5 (in Downloads-> Developer) compiles almost any original QuakeC mod.

[scar3crow]

FrikQCC and FTEqcc are the best choices really. If you have questions specifically pertaining to them or qc code, head over to www.inside3d.com and into the forums, FrikaC and Spike, the authors of both compilers respectively, are there, as are many many other coders who can help you.

I know that this is a huge bump and I am sorry.

It appears that Head Hunters Source for V3.0 has once again disappeared from the earth.

Does anyone still have it?


Thankyou.

And once again I am sorry for the Recovery of a Dead Thread.

Sorry.

Sorry.

It is quite safe. Sometime within the next 24 hours I will finish repopulating the download section here. I started doing it early today.

Our downloads section was broken due to 2 CMS upgrades but Solecord fixed it and I hadn't taken the time to rebuild it until lately.
