Thanks for the respopnses. Actually, I'm just looking for game play footage like the youtube link shows.
Tell me which one is closest to what you want?
Now, I recognize a lot of the elements in them though - does that mean that the maps and characters are not custom?
id software released the software part of quake 3 arena under gpl but not the maps models and textures
openarena is a gpl replacement for the maps models and textures. The color scheme is the same, red=rocket etc, so it is easy recognisable, but put next to eachother it is easy to see that they are completely different. Q3a ammoboxes are square, and OA ammo boxes are pyramids for example.
Second question - with the GNU license would the maps and characters have to be custom anyway or is it okay to just show the game being played in it's native form perhaps against bots (I think that's an option been like a year since I played).
Thanks in advance.
You can run maps and models that have other licenses in openarena, but those will never be an official part of openarena. rights for those should be discussed with the copyright holder of those maps/models.
