MiniQuake is an unofficial Windows x64 MiniLang port of GLQuake/WinQuake 1.09.

This replacement build uses MiniLangPy revision d7e143a and retains the BP-094 package identity, Quake Protocol 15 and the compat_109 profile.

Highlights:

  • smooth alias-model pose interpolation for monsters, weapons, pickups and projectiles;
  • anisotropic filtering across OpenGL, Direct3D 9 and Vulkan;
  • optional QLIT v1 colored lightmaps, soft enhanced particles and smoothly sampled canonical water warp;
  • an original square MiniQuake application icon embedded for Explorer, Alt-Tab, the taskbar and the game window;
  • a repository-local MiniLang PE icon injector integrated into the standard build.

Validation completed before publication:

  • full source-manifest and documentation verification;
  • all 29 native renderer safety invariants;
  • core, graphics-menu, alias-renderer, lightmap and particle regression suites;
  • renderer switching across OpenGL, Direct3D 9 and Vulkan;
  • seven embedded 32-bit icon resources from 16x16 through 256x256;
  • extracted release archive --version and 60-frame retail e1m1 smoke.

The archive contains MiniQuake.exe, the two required native DLLs, documentation and licenses. It does not contain proprietary Quake PAK files, music or other game data. A legally owned Quake installation is required.
