Hello, I am Kevin Masterson. At various points in my career, I have worn the hats of software developer, network engineer, and system administrator.
I am originally from the United States, but I currently live in Bulgaria with my wife and our dog.
My long-time personal project has been QMM (Quake3 MultiMod). It is a dynamic plugin manager for games based on the Quake 3 engine (and now also the Quake 2 engine!). It functions similar to Metamod for Half-Life and Metamod:Source for the Source engine (Half-Life 2).
I began writing it while at University of Maryland in 2004, and the code was originally hosted on SourceForge while the main site was hosted on PlanetQuake.
Eventually, I stopped working on it, and only did anything related to it when a few people emailed me. After PlanetQuake disappeared and SourceForge went downhill, I made repos here on GitHub, but otherwise left them untouched. I have since (Mar 2025) begun working on QMM (and various plugins) again.
Take a look at some of the QMM-related repos:
- QMM2 - The main plugin manager (how it works)
- qvmops - A simple CLI QVM disassembler with code and data segments and support for reading symbol information from .map files
- RocketMod_QMM - A simple "Rocket Launcher-only" game mode plugin for Quake 2 and Quake 3 Arena
- Stripper_QMM - Plugin that dynamically modifies map entities during loading -- similar to Half-Life's Stripper2 and Stripper:Source for Source engine games
- QAdmin_QMM - Plugin to administer servers with in-game commands and access levels
- AdvChat_QMM - A plugin that allows for predefined variable replacement in chat, like $h for health or $a for armor
- Stub_QMM - A basic sample trace plugin that outputs every message and some commonly-used arguments
Take a look at some of my other projects:
- ipredir - outgoing IP redirection+NAT for Windows
- FRSScan - Flipper Zero app to scan FRS channels for activity
- SteelSeriesGG Helper - Simple script to reset settings in the Sonar section of the SteelSeries GG app
- QuestNoise - World of Warcraft addon that plays a sound when you have made objective progress, completed an objective, or completed a quest
- HideHotKeys - World of Warcraft addon that allows you to hide button text showing the keybind and/or macro name
- FlightWarn - World of Warcraft addon that plays a warning sound when you have flown in a straight line for too long, or if you have flown into fatigue. Useful for alt-tab flying prior to Dragonflight.
- wowaddons - Other World of Warcraft addons that are older and not as popular to maintain anymore
