Would it be possible to implement glquake reflections or an alternative that achieves a similar effect?

I have never heard of this before. Do you have a screenshot of the effect in question?

Unfortunately no. Documentation on the effect amounts to it "existed". Stained glass reflections and mirrors would be Controlled by the r_mirroralpha command. And getting glquake to run on my system has been an absolute no go. Although from what little i could gleam the effect wasnt super well implemented and was kinda hacky in glquake

Edit: apparently mark v has it if that makes it easier to pull from

These were removed by Fitzquake 0.6. They were hardcoded for certain glass textures.

I see. It's kind of unlikely that I will add this obscure feature. Was this even enabled by default? Probably not?

GLREADME.TXT says:

r_mirroralpha 0.3
This changes one particular texture (the stained glass texture in the EASY 
start hall) into a mirror.  The value is the opacity of the mirror surface.

So an obscure cvar, as I thought.
