-Finishing Missionpack
-More weapons
-In - game tutorials
-More characters (Doomguy!)
-Option for Ironsights, rather than the current zoom
-"Help" console command
-X.P. system (Unlocking more weapons, etc.)
-Big F***ing gun 9000!
-Texture pack loading, sort of like the "mods" menu

Also, a GUI option for all those things that you need the console to do (IE, third person mode, blood on/off) Would be really nice.

-Finishing Missionpack
Missionpack features are all integrated into main OA. At this point is kind of redundant to have that folder. -More weapons -X.P. system (Unlocking more weapons, etc.) -Option for Ironsights, rather than the current zoom -Big F***ing gun 9000!
Use a mod. OA is about preserving vanilla Q3 gameplay. Besides, OA isn't a realism-oriented game. And it will never be. -In - game tutorials
In progress. -More characters (Doomguy!)
More characters? I agree. Clonic/copycat characters? NOT. OA is NOT about replicating Q3's assets, at least not anymore. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand seriousness is extremely overrated. -"Help" console command
Care to explain this? Also, a GUI option for all those things that you need the console to do (IE, third person mode, blood on/off) Would be really nice.
I agree. With the next OA versions, it should be possible.

A "Help" command... Like in Minecraft Single player commands, it would be a list of commands.
Also, if all the features of the Missionpack are in OA, then why even have it? Just takin' up space.

Also, please... CHANGE THE MAP NAMES! It would be nice to give maps regular names, for example, rename "q3tourney6" to something memorable, like the maps actual name (In this case, "The end of you")
They did it in Missionpack, so why not in the actual game? everything else from Missionpack has been incorporated into the vanilla game.
Also, an option to auto - load mods would be awesome.

You can launch a mod at startup by using "openarena +set fs_game <mod's subfolder name>" at your OS command prompt (e.g. openarena +set fs_game missionpack): ( DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Manual/Using_Mods This means you can incorporate the command into a "shortcut" (e.g. on your desktop) and/or in batch files (Windows) or in shell scripts (Linux). About map names, each map has got a short name (.bsp filename, shown for example in Skirmish menu), a long name specified in the map itself (optional; it's shown during map loading screen), and a long name specified in the .arena file (shown in menu of Single Player Deathmatch mode). OA3 will have a completely redone user interface, based upon Team Arena menu system, which will probably show "long names" as Missionpack does. However, I suggested to also show short names... About in-game help, for the moment you can refer to this: ( DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Manual#In-game_help

Uh....... if that were a SETTING, then you wouldn't be able to get back to the base game in most cases.
Either use "+set fs_game moddir" in the shortcut, or use the mods menu.
by the way I am not doing 0.9.0. The roadmap for 0.9.0 was for more replacement textures, and there hasn't been any more of that for 3 years now...

As told, you can create an apposite shortcut (or batch file or shell script) to launch a specific mod when launching OA. Mods are extremely useful addons, but I see no reason for a setting that would switch to a mod on every game launch (there are already DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Manual/Using_Mods#How_to_launch_a_mod]three different ways to load a mod -there is even a console command to switch to a mod at any time: "/game_restart <mod's subfolder name>"-). The whole new setting you propose may be "dangerous": considering some mods do not have clear GUI changes, one may risk to be in a mod while thinking to be in baseoa. And as Fromhell said, it may become hard to switch back to the main game.

I think the idea of the last chosen mod persisting is a decent idea.
But the fact that a mod can provide a different user interface, one which may lack a way for a user to select another mod (or no mod at all) -- that could be a big problem. A solution could be that the engine shows the name of a mod and a 'X' kill-mod button in a user-draggable place during non-gameplay screens (menus etc).

Or people just click 2 more times to start up the mod, like it currently is. Shouldn't be such a big deal right?

Question: why no ragdoll physics?
Ragdolls can be really cool,an sometimes, I get a kick out of them. at least add an option for that.
Come to think of it, does ioQuake3 even support that kind of thing? If not, the engine could be altered, it' open source, right?

So... No?
Also, I recently had an idea for a new game mode: Team swap. It would be TDM, except for if you kill someone, they switch to your team. The same could probably be done with CTF, Team elimination, and so on...

DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/NOTTODO]Yes, it is. In the list of "Stuff we possibly can not do, due to limitations of the engine". I suppose if there's a way to implement such a thing from that section of the list without breaking compatibility, then that might be striked from the list. Things from the "Stuff we won't do and never will", on the other hand, even if they're doable, won't be done, precisely because they fall outside of the project's scope.
