nothing, I was just messing around with this old ftp account and saw these txt files I had totally forgotten about. And I just thought: well, the idea I had (and I wasn't the first, that's for sure*) is becoming a real free game. Thanks idsoftware!
*I was supposed to link to an server that hosted some kind of mmo(rpg?) quake II, but can't find it anymore.
if anything, there should probably be gameplay credit to the osp and cpma team for cq3 seeing as ql started pretty much as a copy-paste of cq3 gameplay.
