It has been suggested several times on the 1.04 thread that you make openarena work with e+, however, no one has stated what is actually needed for it to work properly. So, the purpose of this post is to let you know that the fixes needed for openarena are actually very few and e+ would have the advantage of providing full support for it.

By making 1.04 compatible with Open Arena can help to atract new people to this community. I think we should pay attention to it and let good hands take care of.

First of all we need to finish hour E+ 1.04. Then proceed with OA, and if its posible both at the same time .. the better will be.

We don't need a standalone client of E+... Doesn't OA support mods? We should just turn E+ into a mod of OA. That would be stupid to make E+ standalone.

and that would give cheaters like this http://forums.excessiveplus.net/viewtopic.php?t=14385&start=405 free way to play the game.

Skull, that is true. There will be cheaters. Killer mentioned a compromise of having the mod work with OA and the Q3 client so the Q3 client could be used with clanwars and OA could be used for public servers. Although, I think you should try and understand how cheating is handled in open source communities. I play another game called Tremulous and there are constantly admins online who would ban cheaters, and plus the vote kick system is very prevalent, where it is actually more like a vote temp ban of 4 hours for a person. The main concern for you I think would be clan wars, and there would be people spectating during the clan war clan war.

And lion, yes, that is what you want... but I'm not sure the 2-3 most popular servers will be in your control. Lol.

Anyways, with this last comment I'm not going to take part in the politics anymore.

what do u think about possibly being able to put the weapon bar on the side of the screen like in (osp?) and ql, or being able to turn it off. i know its been asked before if thats possible in e+. what do u think?

no, i already use that. it removes the hud not the weapon bar.
