OpenArena
FSFPS project contributors | Released Aug 19, 2005
It is an open source multiplayer first-person shooter. It uses the id Tech 3 engine source code (which is released under the GNU General Public License v2), and fills in the blank with all new media to make a playable game.
- It's not a 'scavenge the internet for stuff' compilation project, the only things scavenged are some maps, which are OKAY because their source was released under the GPL.
- Everything is strictly open source so they can be improved forever (and ever).
- The additional "Missionpack" game types and weapons are merged into the base, so you get to lay the mines in overload maps.
- There's more game types than the base game, like Domination, Last Man Standing, and what not. ("What not" does not refer to a gametype of that name - Ed)
- Uses ioq3 for various feature additions, but it is not ioq3 dependent; it's also intended to be vanilla compatible. (The only thing that won't work is ogg music)
- The art direction is different and not strictly 'gothic'. There's more of a eastern slant than the usual 'put skulls n' blood all over it's cool' you find in most games.
- It's not next-gen, and computer compatibility range is wide enough to run on that dusty Pentium II in your attic.
- There are bots, perfect for when you're stranded on an island.
- There's also people playing it on the internet.
- It is Free Software, so there's no guilt in downloading it and redistributing it.

WARNING: OpenArena contains Mature Content. I'm serious. If you don't like shooting the bloody guts and beating hearts out of voluptuous barely modest combatants then don't play it, or play without the mature pk3 file and use com_blood 0/cg_showGibs 0 (but be aware that pure servers may not agree with this).

Latest News: 0.8.8 at desura
2 comments by noChance79 on Apr 18th, 2012
After a short delay of only several month finally the 0.8.8 release of OpenArena arrived at Desura.
Go give it a glance and maybe set up a dedicated server to celebrate this memorable event ;-)
The 0.8.8 release features a new character model called Neko and a bunch of either reworked or completely new maps for offline single player or online multiplayer games.
Next time a new version is released, it will doubtlessly arrive a little earlier over here.

I love finally see OpenArena on Desura!
It's a great game, maybe the best shooter Q3 based.
Great job devs :)

Are there any Sorlags or equivalent in this?
Liz
Sorlag is an 'alien lizardy' archetype, Liz is just a basic anthropomorphic lizard.
OA3 could turn it to a dragon or something. maybe.
Is the new version on Desura yet? I have not been notified of any updates.
Someone else will need to take on Desura maintenance. I don't have the time or resources to do so myself.
What exactly has to be done to get the new version distributed over Desura? I'm no Gamedeveloper, so i can't really figure out, how much time i would have to spend on maintenance ...
This game looks a lot like unral tournament 2004... maybe better character models
Great game!
I play 2 years))
Bug Detection: shotgun shells bug: black squares, at a certain angle of gaze
And by the way.
What's that noise there ? Why do they say about iOq3-eng. ? Something wrong happened ? why these people are not happy with something ?
OA was originally built for the original source release and it still has assets that respect the original limits. We're still using TGA/JPG/PCX, WAV, and MD3. It doesn't require Ioq3, and it could just as easily ship with its own modified idTech 3 without a relation to ioq3.
You fail to reply to my comment again, is that "reply to comment" button so difficult to click? I guess this is due the "laggy SDL mouse input" as well? :P
The current and past OA builds do not work with id Tech 3. I've already told you that you've messed this up yourself by using the ioquake3 improved QVM format. The only way to get this working with "id Tech 3" would be applying the required ioquake3 code changes to the id code base, which apparently becomes related to ioquake3 by this.
