The GGZ Gaming Zone - Core Client Libraries
===========================================
GGZ Gaming Zone core client libraries provides the common procedures
and utilities required to run the GGZ client and games. The routines
are shared by other modules in order to ease coding and promote
compatibility and stability.
This version of the client libraries (0.0.13) should provide
compatibility with version 0.0.13 clients and servers.
The core client libraries is only one part of the GGZ Gaming Zone
client setup. The following additional packages are required:
* libggz - provides commonly used functions and low-level
communications between client modules and the GGZ servers
* gtk-client/kde-client - one or more of the GGZ clients will be
required in order to login to a server, chat and launch games
* gtk-games/kde-games/sdl-games - one or more games or game packs
are required in order to launch and play games
EDuke32 is a fork of the JFDuke3D port of Duke Nukem 3D (aka Duke3D), merging
it with EDuke to provide many new features for mod authors. Built on the
foundation of Jonathon "JonoF" Fowler's JFDuke3D work (including Build engine
author Ken "Awesoken" Silverman's badass Polymost renderer) combined with
Matt "Matteus" Saettler's EDuke advances, EDuke32 screams cool so loud you'll
think Bruce Dickinson got uppercut in the balls by Freddy Krueger. Hell, it
even comes with Mapster32, the enhanced Build editor.
The EDuke32 and Mapster32 development team is lead by Richard "TerminX"
Gobeille, author of the popular Cinema mod for Max Payne 2, the Project X TC
demo for EDuke 2.0, and Mapster, the original Build editor enhancement.
Features
* Enhanced event-based game scripting system
* OpenGL renderer (truecolor textures, MD2/MD3 models)
* Cross-platform
* Augmented map editor
Jaymod is an add-on modification to RTCW: Enemy Territory.
The idea for Jaymod came from the main features of Shrubmod. Shrubmod has
long been out of date and unsupported, and with the instability issues that
come with Shrubmod, something had to be done to get a Shrub-like server-side
mod that would provide most of Shrub's features, be stable, and be supported.
This mod has, obviously, outgrown the original objective of being server-side
only. Some of the ideas I wanted to implement could not be done with server
code only, so the decision was made to start working on the client end as
well. I wanted this to be as easy as possible for end users, and now only one
pak needs to be downloaded (on the fly) to be able to play this mod.

Epiar (ep-ee-are) is an open source computer game, in which the player
navigates space from planet to planet, saving money to buy ship upgrades
and new ships. The player can also join mercenary missions, attack other
ships to steal their money and technology, and explore the universe.
The game combines the action/arcade elements of aircraft dogfighting and
the openness of role playing games to create this experience.
Epiar is a space exploration/combat/trading game. The Escape Velocity (EV)
series for the Mac was the major point of inspiration for this game.
Other notable games of this genre include:
- Elite (the original game EV was based on)
- Star control 1/2 (and it's now open source successor Ur-Quan masters)
- Star Flight
- Solar Winds
3D arcade with unique fighting system and anthropomorphic characters.
Lugaru's primary feature is its unique combat system. Instead of relying
on confusing button combinations to perform moves, Lugaru's moves are all
logical and context sensitive. For example, if an opponent aims a roundhouse
kick at Turner's head, you can crouch and then stand up under the attack to
grab your assailant's leg and kick him away. If you try and punch an opponent
and he tries to throw you over his shoulder, you can crouch to roll painlessly
out of the throw. This new combat system makes fights look and feel much more
intense and believable than in any other game. You can see it in action with
the gameplay movies above.
Q2PRO is a Quake II engine modification. Client and server sides are both
compatible with original Quake2 v3.20 network architecture, as well as with
modern R1Q2 network architecture. Q2PRO is designed to be secure, fast, and
doesn't provide any graphical enhancements that are contrary to the classic
Quake2 look and feel. It yet provides some features unique to Quake2, most
notably server side MVDs (multi view demos). Q2PRO has its own software and
OpenGL refresh libraries and runs under Windows and Unix-like systems.
Q2PRO supports the following network protocols:
- 34, original Quake2 protocol
- 35, enhanced R1Q2 protocol
- 36, enhanced Q2PRO protocol, extension of R1Q2 protocol
- 37, special broadband MVD protocol
