back when I was in high school, my friend and I used Quiver [0] to make quake maps on macos - it was very fun. to think that quake networking worked under those old school modem conditions/latency is kind of wild. id3 truly were miraculous developers.

I remember asking someone who worked at my high school for a map of the school and remember thinking it would be fun to recreate the school... in quake... and probably model my least favorite teacher as a monster I could chase...

it's somewhat scary to think back about this - especially since Columbine happened the same year. there was no risk from me (absolutely no way or interest to access guns - we were teenage dweebs in a country with strict gun laws) but thinking back I'm glad I never finished my maps or shared them.

Thanks for the nostalgia trip :) I was a big fan of Quiver back in the day. I even ported q3map to classic Mac OS at one point (I was 14 i think) so I could build maps in Quiver and run them in Q3 without leaving my Mac. Which I guess makes the WASM build in Q3Edit the second time I've ported q3map somewhere it was never meant to run.
