For those of you who don't know,Xfire is a communications program that allows you to chat while in servers,and also has voice chat option,and other features for gamers.Most of my friends use this program and they would like to see OA supported.
One of them posted on Xfire's forum to support this game.It would definitely help get the word out among gamers about this game.So if you'd like to see this happen.post it here.

Ahahaha...I know a trick to getting OA on XFire

The thing is, it's going to turn up as Quake 3, but it works fine nontheless.

Rename ioquake3.i386.exe to quake3.exe...it should turn up as Quake III, basically functions as Quake 3. In-game chat and server joining still works...just that you can't join quake III servers...

Of course, it would be great if OA can get their own servers to show up on XFire or something...

This would probably make legit Quake3 players using the ioq3 engine into OA players on their profile.

I need to rename the binaries in the next release, for the sake of server programs and launchers.

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.

Just for you to know, there's also a Xfire free software clone.
It is based on Jabber and also allows Xfire gateways so it can interoperate with Xfire users.
Its a pity that it only detects games on Windows...
