Verdana font is a part of Microsoft Core Fonts package, there are even Linux packages that do that for you, but it's not open-source - you can redistribute the font files freely, but only non-commercially, and you cannot modify them. There are apparently no restrictions on the usage of these fonts (so you may sell images produced using these fonts, or put any license on those images etc).
Here is their licensing terms

That's cool!
Which fonts have you used?

I've used the Verdana Font original from WinXP. I hope is right  Grin

 Wink

With that much smilies, i could not tell if you are kidding or not. Anyway:

Kalimaty and FreeSans are very close to Verdana and Arial respectively, you might want to try the ubuntu font, i like it on almost anything and particularly on big characters.

Those are free fonts, you can use them, there are ofc many more free fonts.

What about not using text at all? That would avoid any fonts issue! Seriously.

What I suggested was to completely remove text, except what is really useful (e.g. a plate with "warehouse" on the door of a warehouse may have some sense... or an "auto" display for the ship's autopilot).

IMHO, there is no real reason to write "Moixie was here" or "Neon Knight is an action" on an Egypt-themed map... so if it is difficult do find correct fonts for them, you can just skip the problem by not writing those phrases.
And, personally, I don't like that "Gig's nightmare" thing (no offense, please, but I don't like that specific idea, I have to say the truth). I like oa_akomdm4, it's not a nightmare for me!  Smiley


PS: Sorry I will not be able to test the package and the newest things before Monday...

oa_akomdm2 is now very playable, thank you!

I have maked a personal Black sky with his own script, just for you Tongue  Grin

Well okay, I meant it could have some stars. this sky photo, for example, is rather dark, and this one too, and you can also tune the photo brightness down, so there will be only few bright spots.
The totally black sky feels like as if I've locked myself in a bathroom Grin But you can leave it black, it's already good for release.

Nice. Maybe the internal part of the map is a little too dark?

It's a little strange how stepping on weapon spawn points makes you "slide" a little... but it can be funny.

For the other maps of the pack, I've given a quick try to them, and I haven't noticed clamorous bugs as missing textures. However, it was just a quick try...

PS: I still miss an "auto" screen for oa_akomdm4...

Easter eggs, while not as useful as a secret room holding a precious item, helps giving a map it's own personality. For example, the secret room in Unreal Tournament's DM-Codex, or many secret areas in Quake III Arena's maps (Think about that secret room facing the teleporter in q3dm11, "Deva Station").

EDIT: I think we need more music track.... Tongue Grin.....

That's because not all the tracks were meant to be included, since it was, like the filename says, a patch for a full version, and not a full version itself, and hence, the filesize must have been kept short for downloading reasons. The next full version will be DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/OA3]OA3, and it will include all of those tracks.

Ok, what about insert the other music tracks in another (official)  patch file  ?
Can we use the tracks anyway ?  Tongue



By the way, what about the design/playability of the fifth map ?
Nothing to tell ? It's only to fix the lights ?

Tell me.

@Neon_Knight: Yes, easter eggs can be nice... but I meant you can't lose your sleep for them.

@Akom:
- Stepping over the flames may give you a little damage, maybe?
- Maybe some weapons may spawn a little more often (e.g. the rocket launcher in the external "tower").
- Found a graphic glitch, see screenshot.
- The skybox may be a little larger, to let rockets fly a little more before disappearing.
- You may add target_location entities (this also for other maps).

There are some sites, which provide free music under Creative Commons - Attribution license, CC-BY is generally thought to be compatible to GPL, if used for art, and not software code.

list fo sites with free music another list
We can also "borrow" from other open-source games.

If a music is under CC-BY license or public domain, and in a form of a tracker file (so you can modify it), it should satisfy even Fromhell. So, it would be this and this links. Not much of a choice though.

Modarchive is a bit out of control when it comes to displaying 'publicdomain' works though, so you can't trust that. I've seen commercial song covers on "public domain" there.
