In a nutshell, it's simply a free and legal Q3 remake for Windows/Linux/Mac with a much better engine.

id made the Q3 engine (not the models, textures, etc.) code freely available to all back in 2005. Shortly after, ioQuake3 (ioq3) was developed and others like OpenArena and Xreal have piggy-backed on this work.

Beast made a version of E+ 2.0a specifically for OpenArena (OA). It's listed along with the Q3 version. There is also a texture pk3 (not by Beast) that allows just about any Q3 map to render correctly in OA.

Here is a link: OA Servers and stuff

Below is a list of improvements to the Q3 1.32c engine by ioQuake:

* Ports to new platforms
* Off-server data downloads (http redirection) via HTTP and FTP with cURL
* OpenAL sound rendering allowing for surround (5.1 and 7.1) speaker layouts and generally improved sound quality. Especially on the Vista/Win7 Operating System.
* Ogg Vorbis audio decoding.
* In-engine VOIP support, with optional Mumble player-location support.
* IPV6 Networking (ofc, IPv4 still supported)
* SDL backend for the OpenGL context, window management, and input. This also improves portability.
* Anaglyph stereo rendering (for viewing with 3D glasses)
* Full x86-64 architecture support
* Rewritten PowerPC JIT compiler, with ppc64 support
* New SPARC JIT compiler, with support for both sparc32 and sparc64
* Compilation with MinGW and cross-compilation for Windows from Linux
* Improved console command auto-completion
* Persistent console command history
* Improved QVM (Quake Virtual Machine) tools
* Colored terminal output on POSIX operating systems
* GUID System
* Multiuser support on Windows systems (user-specific game data is stored in their respective Application Data folders)
* PNG format support for textures
* Numerous security fixes

The OpenArena developers take the ioq3 engine and then add their improvements to it.

OA does not support PB and never will. However, they do have more security for servers and clients from various bugfixes than the Q3 1.32c engine.

spectator players in e+

The player in spectator in a mod e+ can overcome a barrier clips, and in quake 3 arena - cannot. In e+ the player being in spec sees that that did not intend for players. After all on a card specially делатся about restriction clips that players did not see that that is not necessary. Otherwise it can be used for helps to other players.
Whether there is a command limiting the player in spectator in area clips?

Another server update. Changes:

- chg: FreezeTag->TeamkillFreeze config option now boolean, and it accounts for freezen the target being teamkilled only. In consequence, the TEAMKILL_FREEZE_* constants have been removed.
- add: Misc->TeamSelfDamage config option, as an improvement for TEAMKILL_FREEZE_ATTACKER.
- add: /motd <id|all> [ <file> ], as a server command to show motd text to clients.
- add: xp_activeClients to hold number of human clients currently connected.
- add: xp_rotateStep to control how many maps to rotate on automatic rotations at the end of a map.
- add: if-else constructs to rotation system
- fix: negative thaw damage.

Re: Excessive Plus v2.0a

Hi,

from killers post i get, that openarena uses ioquake3 engine ? Is he doesn't mistaking ? Does inst openarena engine different from io ?

Cause using only ioquake3 engine + q3files, + e+2aopenarena - is bad idea as i understanding now.

The majority of people think they think, when really they just change their prejudices. Understanding is a matter of will in most cases.
