Great news regarding special textures! I've got shaders running on the DC version. However unlike in the PC version shaders are being saved in one single file(QUAKE3\BASEQ3\SYSTEM\SYSTEM.ZIP\shaders.txt)
and seem to lack support for some commands from the PC version.

Here are some shaders in action:
-Single texture animations(moving, wobbling)
-multiple texture animations(pseudo reflection)
-transparent textures
-lightning

Also I've got over two dozens of new maps running on DC. They still need some manual tweaking because of their custom shaders, but with the new knowledge, it's a matter of time until they are running perfectly fine.

Wow, that looks great bro. If only setting up a PC-DC server were easy with the rev b modems and windows 10 using a line voltage inducer. Not to mention my gaming desktop PC is on wifi. My DC mouse and KB are needing to be used more than just for HL mods.

We just need to keep up the pressure on this guy and hope he makes some breakthroughs and starts taking orders for them when he has all the kinks worked out for his moband adapter.

I'm in contact with Impulse about betatesting this online with multiple people.
I've been aiming for an autumn release originally but due to RL it didn't work out as planned.
I'd guess a public release around Christmas this year or in early 2019 sounds realistic.
