I have revived @javilopen's 28 year old custom map he made and made a web-based Quake 2 with Fable on fast mode 馃

You can now play it here:

It took a bit of hacking because the textures didn't load the first time, so I repacked some PAK files and now it works!

AI is so good at reviving old stuff from your backups, I was always waiting for some backup app to come to finally be able to browse all my old files and figure stuff out from it, and now you can with AI

I made this map 28 years ago for Quake II.

I found it buried in some random folder, and with a little help from Claude Fable, I managed to get it to render the two views below and run it in actual Quake II.

Memories of hours spent in front of a PC noclipping
