I would like to thank everyone for their help and support. This week marks the 8th anniversary of the 2010 release. It was great to revisit the mod and working with id tech 4 again. If you have any issues running the mod or questions please feel free to ask.
Cheers!

**** yeah!
Good job!
Very nice
Awesome! Will this run in the Linux port as well?
Both Rivensin & dhewm3 can run on linux if the source code is compiled for it... something I currently have no access to myself. There are step by step instructions to do so on Dhewm3’s github.
