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.

Well, we need the appropriate texture sets for those themes to be used. :/

What about the oa_dm5 "Mayincatec" theme?

"Detailed" is nice, but if it gets in the way of clarity, it ceases being a nice addition and becomes a problem. - TVT

Might be okay to make Nali temple-ish maps with. Remember to use it at a smaller scale *cough* 0.5 is not a good scale for Anyone's textures *cough*

but i did once do a single player campaign file full of inspiring / themey third party maps that have good flow, aesthetic and performance (in a process of trying every map, noting, eliminating, etc).  It cannot be used with the oa3 ui's current form yet (OA3 doesn't even have working Sergei / Kyonshi team models) but can be seen as inspiration


As for most texture production I do, it's while painting on a cube in Blender.  There is a way to import a compiled bsp into blender with noesis but i'd have to flip all the uvs and correct all the texture paths by hand

Wow! So many Threewave maps in there! It's no wonder, though. Those packs are a "must-have". The list could have included Sock's "Pyramid of the Magician" and "Mystic Gemini" maps if we're talking about maps for inspiration (not considering framerate/botplay issues).

My favourite version of Wicked is DM-CBP2-Kadath from UT2004. :3 And my favourite version of Blood Run is DM-UCMP-BloodRun, also from UT2004. At least visually speaking.
