Helping Open Source The Humorous Way ...
In the Quake 1 community, there are a few "closed source" works based on open source works and they are supposed to make their QuakeC code available, but some don't.
My contribution to helping this problem is taking the DarkPlaces command "prvm_printfunction" (it prints opcodes and such) and making a new "prvm_decompilefunction" command based off FrikaC's Frikdec.exe source code. 😂😂 And then a command do the whole thing, obviously.
Great comedy is where you find it. 🙂🙂🙂

Need a Q3A version of this. That would be very helpful for a few mods.

I hear you.
Although I now have most of the pieces to wrap up the decompiler for QuakeC, my gut instinct is that doing such a for Q3A would be far harder. QuakeC has very strange choices in the compiled code that make it very easy to decompile -- unlike C and I imagine Q3A is closer to C.
