My Quake2 modification : COOP or DIE

The COOP or DIE Quake2 modification is based on the code released under GPL by ID Software. The project was to create a Quake2 cooperative game with passworded players' accounts and persistant data. Each Quake2 server is linked to a central PHP/MySQL website, I call it the WorldServer. Data is exchanged using a sort of lightweight XML-RPC protocol.

Features supported by the WorldServer are:

Players' accounts with name and password
Inventory, score and various stats saved
Master server
Interactions between Quake2 and a webchat
Modification of map entities (add, remove and modify monsters, items ...)
Persistence of death player body

Some modifications were added for adding gameplay, like the challenge mode and the cooperative HUD. The experience was very interesting and has hightly influenced the design of my current project.

I have kept the worldserver active for the fun and because it doesn't cost a lot.
