Clean-room reimplementation of Scientist Hunt in QuakeC.

Scientist Hunt was a Half-Life mod in which you had to contain the spread of lab-coat wearing beings that populate like crazy.

The original mod was created by Rich Whitehouse. I'm just nostalgic for it, so I recoded the important bits to use with FreeHL and Nuclide.

It's mostly complete, currently missing:

• Live in Fear (Gamemode)
• Arsenal file loading
• Some special CVARs (there was a lot of them)
• A few minor details (walking scientists in Stealth Hunting)

Building

Clone the repository into the Nuclide-SDK:

git clone REPOURL scihunt

then either run Nuclide's ./build_game.sh shell script, or issue 'make' inside ./scihunt/src!

Obviously make sure that Nuclide has fteqw and fteqcc set-up for building.
