This document provides the research into the "Stalker" Quake mod by "cheapy" aka "cheapalert" (aka perhaps "leileilol" and "leilei"?).
Note, this has nothing to do with the game named "S.T.A.L.K.E.R."
This research was performed on request.
Description (from here):
Stalker is a mod first created in 2 days in the middle of 2001 by Cheapalert. Since then, it's been polished out with several features and bugfixes. The goal of Stalker was to make the biggest, and i do mean BIGGEST compilation patch possible, and striving to be different than the others while it's at it. It features 32 new weapons, Aircraft, QTank, FrikbotX, multiskin, a money system (currently unused, was half-integrated to do some weapon shops which didn't make it into stalker). Stalker was NOT named after the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadows over Chernobyl - infact it was called that years before it was known.
