I've talked with upstream developers of Tremulous and Urban Terror, findings are as follows: Tremulous has too many changes to the engine to use vanilla ioquake3, so it will stay as it is. Urban Terror works fine, but upstream developer is unhappy about this. I've tested and can connect to pure server's just fine, and auto downloading maps still works (upstream said iourbanterror had a different way of map downloading). Upstream says that an ioQuake3 urbanterror server won't let idq3 clients join unless the server has baseq3's pak0. This doesn't seem like too much of a concern, as most very few people still use idq3, and I believe (could be wrong, I'm tired and unsure) that idq3 is windows only anyways. I've made the required changes to openarena but not yet committed them on advice of persia to wait until my ioquake3 package has been in testing a while. Any feedback on the above points would be appreciated, Regards, Jack Coulter On Mon, 2008-06-30 at 19:02 +0800, Paul Wise wrote: > On Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 6:58 PM, Bruno Kleinert <fuddl@tauware.de> wrote: > > > ACK! i hope the changes made to the engine by each game project still > > allow us to keep a single engine binary in debian! i looked through > > openarena's diff against the vanilla sources and they don't seem to be > > very exhaustive, so i expect this trick should be managable with > > openarena. > > Hopefully the upstreams can all be convinced to submit their changes > to the ioquake3 project so all this fragmentation isn't an issue in > the future. > > -- > bye, > pabs > > http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise > >
