OpenArena is an open-source content package for Quake III Arena licensed under
|
|
|
|
|
the GPL, effectively creating a free stand-alone game. You do not need Quake
|
|
|
|
|
III Arena to play this game.

OpenArena has bots, network playability, many maps and most of the other
|
|
|
|
|
features you would expect from a commercial first person shooter.

OpenArena requires the OpenAL library found on SlackBuilds.org. It also
|
|
|
|
|
requires 3D accelerated video drivers but runs quite well on the open-source
|
|
|
|
|
Intel drivers.

Although the $VERSION is listed as 0.8.1, this script actually builds OpenArena
|
|
|
|
|
0.8.1 plus the 0.8.5 patch (which is the latest version as of April 14, 2010).

Please be advised that the main game zip file, oa080.zip, is about 309MB, and
|
|
|
|
|
the oa085p.zip patch is another 40MB. Also, the download site listed in the
|
|
|
|
|
openarena.info file is a direct link, but it is very, very slow. You may wish
|
|
|
|
|
to visit the openarena homepage (openarena.ws), click on "Files," and look for
|
2010-05-11 22:23:05 +02:00
|
|
|
much faster download sites that do not offer direct links.
