Progress Note

Lots of progress has been going on behind the scenes.
Added numerous madfox creations (ongoing), extras_r5, Quake 1.5 monsters and bosses, numerous additions by myself, full AD 1.8 patched features, special csqc HUD support (ongoing), numerous requests made on here/discord/elsewhere, etc. etc.
Keep will only be fully supported on the following engines going forward (at least as it stands currently): QSS, FTE. Standard engines will mostly work but have broken features as HUD will be incorrect, intermission display will be incomplete, and some items won't save across levels since other engines don't save more than 16 save variables (parms), at least as of time of writing.
Internal version is at v0.91. Previous public beta was v0.56, 5 internal releases ago. Internal = with special project team only.
Github repo is up, though currently private until special project is released. Readme Tome hosted on github, mostly so I have gif support. All planned to be available at v1.00 release coinciding with special project's release. Can't share much more yet.
The work continues.
Not sure if these are planned to be implemented but I think the way copper changes the standard weapons (faster ROF on NG, larger spread on SNG) was a welcome addition.

Qmaster, you said numerous madfox creations are being added to Keep, are those the chasm monsters?

Copper:
Worldspawn will have 'copperoptions' which will behave like spawnflags in that a map can elect to turn on all or just some of the copper features. A certain project may very well be using all of them.
As for madfox creations, all of the non-Chasm ones are or will be included...including new ones not yet in the wild. Chasm mod ones likely to be in a post 1.00 version later.
Monster infighting/AI:
Keep has a custom AI system for all monsters that allows for many ideas (like friendly monsters) from other mods to be possible while defaulting to the vanilla Quake we know and love. When I do get around to adding Chasm enemies, they will be made to use the same system. Likely the issues yhe1 and madfox have ran into are due to not setting classname properly. Keep gets around this by checking classtype using AD's class system...among other things.
Still working on it, but all bosses will be able to be used like a normal monster without any custom setup required, but still have support for special setups. Just drop em in and go. Or even have them patrolling. Did you know some bosses can walk, but their walk never got used?

Cool Mod, Can't Find .fgd
Where is the
.fgd for this mod, though? Can't seem to find it in any of the directories for the life of me. Very interesting tho!
