tribes1 (Imago) — Tribes 1 engine source, buildable fork GitHub

Imago's fork of the partial Tribes 1 engine source — the intermediate link between AltimorTASDK/TribesRebirth (2015) and mortarturret/darkstar (2025), and the tree that first actually built. Its rebirth/ directory adds Visual Studio 2019 project files (Tribes.sln, Tribes/Zed/VT/VMerge/ZedShape/ZedLight/ZedBuild .vcxproj) and a README with step-by-step build-and-connect instructions on top of Altimor's darkstar/ and program/ sources, which it also modifies. The repo carries three more of Imago's own tools alongside it: mem/ (a mem.dll loader/patcher for Tribes, C++), webrcon/ (a web-based Tribes console — rcon.pl plus a jQuery log-tail UI) and tribes_alerts/ (server-status alerting via qstat with Discord and Twitter posters; qstat is a submodule of Unity-Technologies/qstat, not included in this bundle). Provenance, per Link of the PlayT1 community: "MortarTurret did not get that from Altimor. He got it from Imago, who he got it from Altimor and was able to get a build going. Imago was here around 2022-23." The archive verifies that: darkstar's published tree is byte-identical to this repo's rebirth/ — same git blob/tree hashes for darkstar/, program/, inc/, Tribes.sln and README.md — differing only in Tribes.vcxproj and an added documentation/ directory. Captured as a complete git bundle (all branches, tags and history in one file), pinned at commit 2b0af05607e62b0272cf307f4ce7b268466e9f0e on branch main (upstream's last commit was 2023-01-24). Rehydrate with: git clone imago-tribes1.bundle. No license is stated upstream; preserved as-is for study and credited to its author. Integrity is gated by the bundle's MD5 in this capture manifest.
