ioquake3
Remember Quake 3? Maybe you've heard of Quake Live and wondered if you can mod it, well id software currently has no method of modding Quake Live out there, and ioquake3 has been running since the source was released for Quake 3 and fixing bugs, security holes, and adding new client/server features. Like built-in VOIP, 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 Windows Vista Operating System, and more, way, way more. Check it out! Full list of improvements after the break.
* 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 Windows Vista Operating System.
* Ogg Vorbis audio decoding.
* In-engine VOIP support, with optional Mumble player-location support.
* IPV6 Networking. We’re ready to frag on the net of the future!
* 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
* Compilation with MinGW and cross-compilation for Windows for 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

Well I think it shows disrespect for the victims of the terrible Quake massacre. . . .
Nah, I just meant I thought Quake Live is going to soak up a lot of your userbase.

yeah that is a problem, but I've been doing it for longer than quakelive has been around.

I should note that Quake Live is closed source, and can't use our work as a result.
