Urban Terror™ is a free multiplayer first person shooter, that does not require Quake III Arena. http://www.urbanterror.net/news.phpYes, it is mod for quake3. And it 'does not require Quake III Arena' because of ioquake engine included, which is compiled from modified source code of Q3A, and because it uses its own graphics set and maps, so it does not require pak0-pak8 files from baseq3. But it still can be installed just like excessiveplus by creating q3ut4 folder with content and running it from mods menu with quake3.exe
Regardless of that, UrT is still built upon Q3 code, making it a mod (modification!) of the aforementioned even if it wouldn't run under it. The end.
I'm afraid I have to disagree. I'm not sure if anyone's heard of the "War! War!! War!!!" UrT4 server, but it's definitely possible. How, I don't know, but it exists. And for the last 2 weeks I've been trying to figure out how to do what they do with Urban Terror. Some of the things that server has is:
+No fall damage
+Unlimited sprint
+A preset loadout for all players consisting of Negev, PSG, HK69, & Smoke Grenades (not only unchangable by client but also impossible with the "vanilla" UrT)
+Huge amount of clips/grenades for each weapon (30 Negev clips or something)
+No self damage from grenades/explosives
The IP is 85.21.245.144:27960
I also noticed the version of the server is listed as:
Q3 1.32/TSU 1.32d Li
which I assume is utilizing pk3s in the baseq3 folder. Most of the other servers' versions by contrast are either "ioq3 1.35urt linux-x" or "ioq3 1.35urt win-x86". This indicates to me that the War! server isn't using the ioUrban (standalone) version. Which is good news for me; since I was hoping to do that with Urban 2&3 servers, as well. Downloads are disabled in the War! server as well, which eliminates the possibility of the use of qvm editors. I'm sure any clients who'd connect to a server with an altered pk3 would need the file.
So, that being said, how can we do this?! If and when those guys at FrozenSand deem us worthy enough for the UrT 2,3 & 4 source codes I'll be having a field day.
