Yeah, I saw it and use it. Kinda cool, kinda useless,too. I mean bsp format it's antique now, but it's always nice to see people working hard to put some Quake in every aspect of life!

id think if refined it'd be possible to port quake to unity.

Keep in mind that "port Quake to Unity" doesn't make much sense as phrase. Quake it's a game and Unity it's a game engine. You instead could do:
But, really, I couldn't see a single reason to explain why doing such a huge work like this!
- Open every asset with a modern software (models with Maya/Max/blah, textures with photoshop, gimp, blah) and recreate every aspect to look modern (characters with skeletal animations, ragdoll, etc, textures at hires with normal,spec,etc, but for this I guess there are lots of reboot attempts)
- Recreate every map with modular pieces in Unity 5 / Unreal 4 editor, adding, where possible, dynamic lights, view filters (Unity has lots of filters and they're very good) to increase realism
- Use C# to recreate game code in a more object oriented / polished way (id game code sucks for various aspects)
- **Probably**, only thing that could be used untouched are sounds, but, really I'm not so sure they could be used today like modern sounds!

you can port quake to anything IF you can code the engine

What tonnedu2000 described is not porting but recreating Quake with new assets. Porting usually requires reusing (mostly) unmodified assets from the original game and also recreating all or most of its behaviours in the target engine (bunnyhopping, collision boxes, etc) to ensure the same gameplay.

Yup, I totally agree.tonnedu2000 wrote:Ah...if people read carefully...

yeah, that was just irony but, my bad not to make it clear! 
Anyway, now I'm curious: there's a true port of the Whole Quake game to another engine? Or to strange architecture? I heard of a DP port in progress on Raspberry PI but it's long time since I've seen update videos about it.
At least, something like Shambler's castle (not a port,ok, but you know what I mean) on Unreal Engine 4 I think that should be coooool!:)
