The ARC archive

The archive at /arc/ keeps files from three decades of Attack Retrieve Capture (ARC) and the games that grew out of it: OpenARC, arc++ and Armor Critical. The folders are plain file listings, so older game clients can still download maps and patches from them. Read the history for how these projects fit together.

Patches

/arc/patches/: graphics and sound patches made by ARC players over the years, from the Classic ARC patch and Classic ARC sounds to the NextGEN series and themed packs. Most are zip files that replace the game's art or sounds.

Maps

/arc/maps/: the ARC map archive: community maps as individual .map files, and the whole collection as one zip download.

Source code

/arc/source/: source code of the community projects OpenARC and arc++.

Installers and other files

/arc/other/: installers and tools, including Sierra's ARC installer, the OpenARC core, map editor and map installers, arc++ builds for Windows and Mac, and archived Armor Critical builds for Windows, Mac and Linux.

The archived Armor Critical builds are kept for history. For the current Armor Critical beta, go to the official site, beta.armorcritical.com.
