I use to play OA about 2 years ago, and now that I got my new computer, I can finally run it again. But im wondering, why is there no game music, and no name colorization? I don't like this, no no no...

Colors for /name, /say etc.
^1 - Red
^2 - Green
^3 - Yellow
^4 - Blue
^5 - Cyan
^6 - Magenta
^7 - White
^^0 - Black //black letters will be preceded by the extra ^
e.g. /name "^3John ^1Doe" will make the name "John Doe" (with John being yellow, Doe being red
Music? I think there's some there, depends on the map maybe? I always have music volume OFF, so I couldn't say....

there's no music as far as i know. the music that was in the game was removed for some reason. probably some license issue or maybe the source wasn't 'human readable'? could be music in another version though - you never know  the colours should be working as usual i think? |

NO music: there's some in some maps (xpress, kineterra), but no "soundtrack", the music used in th eoriginal game is form Sonic Mayhem and is NOT free, so it probably couldn't be included in the game.
Colours: as was said by sittingduck. Forget about blinking, changing and stuff, tho. Other thing you can have are the "special" characters generated by Quake 3 name changer (google it up)

They'd better get used to change, it's not even 1.0 yet where things get set in stone.

If there's streamed/in-map music there should be a way to shut it off, not just mute it. (So it doesn't consume clientside resources) Or it would be nice to have a way for a host to hook Itunes/Winamp Audio up to his server and broadcast to the players if they want to. Just some stuff I'm tossing out here that'll probably never happen.

How could that be legal? |

It almost seems radios have a particular status, as so many shoutcast/icecast servers broadcast copyrighted songs. Some may have the right to, some may consider radios are an exception due to the fact listeners are not meant to store the file, I dunno. BTW, there are also so many songs available which are freely distributable (creative commons and so on), that we can't say some legal issue would prevent us from implementing such feature. But i'm rather looking forward to seeing proper ingame music.  |

Personally, music has never done anything for me in a FPS. It is the biggest hindrance ever because game sounds are always so vital I always turn it off - even the menu music. A FPS shouldn't have to contain music in order to be complete. |

I've never seen this many 404's , 503's and 530's in my life. All the links appear to be dead to me. Could you torrent it or sth? (If it's free, if not, DO NOT SHARE IT AT ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.) |

I recommed playing music from own your playlist (itunes, Windows player, etc) and then run the game. At least everyone will play what they like - assuming your PC has enough RAM to sustain both music player and OA to run w/o latency. Personally, I usually have no music - i like to hear my enemy coming.

I googled for it and found it here... http://www.fileplanet.com/64016/60000/fileinfo/Rocket-Arena-3-SoundtrackUse this login saltyballs@mailinator.com salty if you dont have account... or just make one, its free It looks like a .exe file... run it in some controlled box, like a virtual box or whatever... I think it came in this way to install them in the quake3/ra3/music folder... I think its free since it came with the game... they had it included in the game but they had to remove it from there for copyrights problems as they were running mp3 from the game itself.... The solution they took? just put them as separate mp3 files so you can play them in ur favorite player If you cannot download it, tell me so, and ill upload the mp3s in some file server |

Thanks. it's a self-extracting ZIP, just renaming it to blahblah.zip and unzipping it works fine Music is quite nice, but i liked Sonic Mayhem's Q3A Noise better |

I thought Q3A's music was Frontline Assembly - Q2 was Sonic Mayhem.
Either way, the internet is rife with original CC'd music - assuming OA can play lossy-encoded music and isn't stuck on a tracker format.
Look at Sauerbraten, another Libre FPS - it has been through multiple soundtracks. Might be a little metal for OA, but still, better than nothing.

Only the Sauerbraten engine is free, the media (including the soundtrack) is not. |

I know that - I helped build the Sauerbraten content sharing page. The original soundtrack of Cube (called Pingpong) was CC'd. Either way, I'm sure Fanatic would license a subset of his songs under an open license for Open Arena if asked nicely.
