Hello oa players
I want to notice you the existence of a new engine for openarena. It's called uNFRaG. And it has legacy (pre-SDL) mouse felling!
This is a "friendly fork" of ioquake3 engine.

The authors (me "0xmathieu" and "0xdan") are euro-players of 071 oa. We are playing on GNU/Linux computers and since 076 (aka ioq3 rev 1161, aka ioq3 SDL version) we are exprerienced some mouse problems. We don't think we're alone, so after waiting some months that someone find a solution we've decieded to do what must not be done.

We've forked ioq3. We think it's the worst solution but the only "short term" solution. This is not a good idea to have another engine and we don't want to support it. We only want legacy mouse feeling when we play openarena and an up-to-date engine.

Thus, we made that friendly-fork of ioq3, where the goal is not to deny the work of ioq3 but instead trying to have an alternative until a unified solution could be found. In some point of view, the best solution could be to have a regular ioq3 with only a patch to get the legacy input, until then we just try to have this one working.

So our engine is synced with ioq3 rev 1472 (the latest at this time). It has the same functionnalities except all the SDL stuff: voip, completion, bsd support, ... We've taken all patches post rev 1160 not related to SDL and applied them on unfrag.

We use GNU/Linux so our code builds fine with Linux and probably with *bsd, MacOS and other unixes. We don't use MS/Windows so we don't applied patches for that OS and it's probably broken and don't build. If you're a Win user and want uNFRaG on your OS, send us a patch

You can find more information at our tuxfamily page : http://openarena.tuxfamily.org/wiki/english:project:unfrag
You can download uNFRag at our tuxfamily repository : http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/unfrag/

There you will find i386 and x86_64 versions for protocol 68 and 70 versions.

There is not yet dedicated versions because it doesn't seems to work successfully at the moment.

All you have to do is to unzip the archive, place it where your openarena binary is and call unfrag instead of openarena.

As the title said: ioq3 is great, don't see in uNFRaG an alternative project but only an alternative way of using this engine.

A diff file for 0.8.x syncing (to get things like g_humanplayers and g_needpass to work):

Windows version:

Binary: http://brie.ostenfeld.dk/~poul19/public_files/unfrag.x86.exe.zip

The source can be compiled by installing mingw32 and running the cross-make-mingw.sh script.

Thanks sago!

I will merge your code with unfrag and I'll put new sources released and win binaries on download server asap.

Hehe, i'm testing Linux version on protocol 70, hadn't got any issue at the moment.
Maybe this engine could come with OA 081 ?

Unfortunately the Windows version that I provided has at least two bugs: Brightness not set correctly on startup (might be something I did to make it compile) and resolution detection (needs information from SDL).

If you mean "unfrag windows version with protocol 68", check there : http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/unfrag/0.2/

asking when OA3 will be done won't get OA3 done.
Progress of OA3 currently occurs behind closed doors alone

I do not provide technical support either.

Tested and working fine, well only for about 30 seconds but didn't have any issues or notice anything different from my existing exe.

Thank you Cheesy
