OpenArena
FSFPS project contributors | Released Aug 20, 2005
It's a game designed to be Free Software. 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 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.
- 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.
OpenArena is licensed under the GNU GPL version 2 - data and engine. Anyone can contribute to it, if it complies with the GNU GPL.
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).

OpenArena Progress Report #2

The color of the pen is rrrrrrr.....ROYAL BLUE
For a while i've been playing with colors for the classic menu system to break the hardcoded tradition of red/orange graphics that has been for all versions. The background is animated and I have no new buttons yet. In the screenshot, there's also VoIP support picked up from ioq3 as well.
Spacekrieg
ArmageddonMan on the forums has been mapping for a bit and i've only just recently committed his map pack to the SVN. The map at the top is called Space Contact. Over below that is a joint production between Bozceq and ArmageddonMan for a map called Blitzkrieg 2.
Revenge of the cats
Neko is no longer an Angelyss skin anymore. She is now getting her own player model, hopefully looking great once she gets her joints all figured out. The skin is incomplete to the point there's still no clothing so all I can show here is just a wire view. The double-skirt )one is asymmetrical, the other is just symmetrical, in UV mapping) allows many improvisations to the creative opportunities for skinning. Also (for you pervs) she has the biggest chest in the game which makes her the final new 'mature' model. SHE'S ALSO FROM JAPAN, SO KAWAII =<^_^>=
Coming Up Next Week: what the font!!?

Pretty much a q3a clone
i think you're missing the point of OpenArena.
I didn't play such fast games for a long time.
I think it's time to test my reactions again :P
Ah yes conspiracy theories, maybe it's just a bad game?
You should take a look at Xreal, that guy is doing things right.
copying and pasting existing materials to frankenstein a game is not 'doing things right'
it is counter-productive.
Its not just warsow, its the other free fps's as well. Also OA has a simplicity about it that people dont seem to like, they dont realize it supports Quake3 custom mods/models/maps/etc.
Warsow is a good game, no denying that, but I hate it when others screw around with your stuff. I think at the very least, this game deserves props for how well it looks using only Q3.
The game's idea is poor period. There is no sence in saying "how well it looks using only Q3." just to give you a stupid example, lets use the "pong" engine to do a game, no one can complain about how bad is it, is not my fault, it is engine's fault!. Is just a way to justify mediocrity, if you encourage the indie developers to have low expectations and just limitate them self to do a simple game conversion of some well known game this site will be filled of crap in no time.
You're right that the idea is poor. I mean holy CRAP making a vanilla base to run other mods, THAT'S GOT TO BE THE WORST IDEA EVER!!! Call the idea police!!!
That is what i actually like about Open Arena, the ability to run other mods that havnt gone Stand Alone yet. But most Quake3 mods have so......
But this only means that you can expand on what Q3 already was(add in new gametypes, mutators, gameplay elements, etc)
