Oh, so that's what your 100+ posts since you signed up, about a week ago, dissing pretty much everything Quake-related were all about.

Nuke that shit.

Sync, r u upset bro!?

Cool, this looks interesting.

What features does it have?
Is there support for mods like CPMA?
Is it any different than http://fraglove.com/ ?
Legality?
Date?

Do you have a dedicated asset team or are you using assets from open arena?

Probably not OpenArena. Unless he changed his mind.

Making his own assets should prove to be quite a work but since he promises that it "plays identical to that of quake3 1.32", I guess he intends to mimic Q3's pak0 without actually copying the content.

That's pretty much impossible to get high quality models, textures and sounds for a project. One of the main reasons there was never a standalone CPM I believe.

http://ioquake3.org/2010/08/24/high-resolutio...ment-pack/

But to release it as standalone it would require all original content to avoid copyright etc.

Also that pack looks like shit.

I've used every Q3 texture pack (there are a few, though most "HQ mods" are just a compilation of numerous different packs), and they all look like crap. I know that it's because of how purist I am, but the maps just don't feel right with a different texture - these are not simply high resolution versions of the default textures. They are completely new textures, and that ruins it for me.

Maybe that's the reasoning, but that's why I don't like it.

I know that you have a mailing list but is there a rough idea of when an alpha/beta will be available?

No need to wait.

Rely exclusively on open-source content? That's rather limited. Are you aware that even CPMA isn't open source?

So you are going to ruin the game with shitty textures models and sounds probably techy looking and shit.

So you are using the original art and so on? Then how it's going to be free? If you use the pak0 files it isn't free.

Sweet, so we have the texture part covered. What about models and sounds?

Link to remakes of models and sounds and stuff?

Signed up for the mailing list. Sounds like a great project. Keep up the good work.

Lol GL!
Just kidding!

GL! Any servers in northeast china already? :/

Link to the other thread so nobody has to search it if you wanted to go there too :

http://www.esreality.com/post/2470490/bring-back-q3-initiative/

makes it easy to join and play against others of your skill.

Nice. How do you plan realizing this?

Remote console, sounds dangerous.

The marketing is strong with this one.

But I'm looking forward to the free rcon, too.

Any attempt on getting a functional matchmaking system implemented?

Also not including it would effectively kill your game.
Which ql is proof of.

the problem with tiers is the fact that it doesnt have a "number" to compare one player from the other.

Aswell as the issue of people joining whatever servers they want and at times individually sniping people ie. looking for an easy game.

thus why we are were we are in todays quake...

Reminds me of another browser based arena FPS..

Don't waste your time..

there were other projects, none worked out

Hey bud, just don't troll here

gtv,anticheat,LAN/domestic servers and im all over it.

lol

edit: looooooooooooooooooool

How do you pronounce this?

Fragger...rrr? FragAreAre?

My expectations aren't that high to be honest but who knows, scala seems to have a better approach than fraglove so far... good luck anyways, i'll keep an eye on this project!

fragerr

HIHIHIHI SCALA SELF-PWN :DDDDDD

lol'd

im 12 and whats this

Why should anyone care / play this rather than QL?

expected cheat accusation thread. am disappoint.

gl in the endeavour, thought it was about fragerrs return, but nonetheless gl, every quake player more is great, but I still highly doubt you'd attract anyone apart from the cpma/ra3 players and ex-ql-cheaters

I'm confused. You want to support CPMA/RA3 mods but you don't want to attract CPMA/RA3 players?

what, lol. who is "we" anyway?

Reborn vs Fragrrrrgaegqe

so player models, sounds, textures, icons and everything else are going to be community made? is there enough quality this way and if not do you intend to make some of this yourself? I only ask because if you intend you do texturing I think a streamlined, high visibility and consistent look for the game would be nice + achievable. for other mods and maps that use q3a assets how do you intend to bypass this? will you be updating this post with new information as it becomes available? and good luck by the way although I do think you may be flogging a dead horse ;/

I remember talking to Stahlaal (fraglove dev) about creating a free to play quake 3 package... according to him you could take a quake 3 texture, resize and repackage it as new, and then distribute that file as a legal third party texture...

Not sure if it would be copyright infringement when you resize and repackage a file but if not... look here: http://ioquake3.org/extras/replacement_content/

There are also a lot of custom playermodels on the site: http://ioquake3.org/extras/models/

There is a quick way of recycling the original textures, by adding a filter. I did some mediocre skinning for jk2 about 5 years ago so i can't remember exactly what progam i used, but you could take a texture, add a filter with a click of the mouse, and the texture would be unrecognizable from the original. You will have a weird looking dm13 or ztn but it's worth a shot. By the way aren't maps copyrighted not only by their textures but also by their layout?

wont be missed.

Have you got any plans for a mode that is as close as possible to current QL?

For example, having 80 rail damage instead of 100 would be a dealbreaker for me to make a switch, and i could finally make a small QL lan

uhm.. try the ql ruleset from that new-ish q3 mod by kyto etc.. EDAWN?

It'd be good timing if it were done sooner than later.

QL is about to end Linux, Mac, and QLPrism support. And everyone is just waiting the next game or Reborn/Reflex to come out, which are still a couple years away.

No one is waiting for new game.

I wish all these new arena projects could just collaborate and make a game that is not embarrassing to show anyone that plays a console.

We had to wait ages for QL to catch up with Q3 mods.
Reading the change logs from cpma made me realize how many bugs or inconsistencies Q3 & mods still have.
'Even' cpm after fixing loads then went on to add more problems and deteriorated at the end of development IMO.
Trying to recruit ENOUGH new regular players to anything OLD looking is a joke, have you tried this before now?


I still think that an arena type game on tech 5, without the Satanic SCFI theme of Q3, would still be more popular than RAGe on all platforms, if done properly.
Maybe QL 2 on tech 5 could bring it back to mainstream, maybe not.
l also think QL would have been better, more popular if all the man hours were spent on getting tech4 up to speed and continue from where q4 pro mod left off. IMO,< rhetorical anti argument disclaimer.

Worry about keeping one of these old games alive. "we don't need more fragmentation" of an aging genre, on the same tech 3 engine.
There are to many shooters now.
no offence.
I hope it does happen and takes over from Cod 15 & Ghaylo 9.

im waffling on there.

GL

is this dead?

yes

/close thread.

Play More Promode

if the new QL really is shit, plz make this work..
