Sweet, thanks guys I allready checked out the game on both mac and windows (using the old mac OA exe) and have to say that this is a great job. It is worlds better then the original Open Arena. If I lived near the developers, I would buy all you guys a round of beer at the local bar.

OK:the mac version is ready. :-)

I'm uploading a full release, complete of "traditional" drag'n'drop installation, to a server right now, it will take some time...
For the ones who can't wait there is an engine-only package here: download it, then copy "OpenArena" in the same folder of "baseoa". You can get "baseoa" from the main page of this site: it is inside the official release...

Good fragging.

[jackoverfull]

done the linux ppc one too.
It is available here.

Installation instructions are inside.

And now... i need to sleep. X_x

[stjartmunnen]

:cool: YES !

Thanks Devs !

[jackoverfull]

OK, we found some problems in the mac intel version, i did an updated version that solves them: jazzmobile.it/jackoverfull/games/openarena/OpenArena0.7.0j2.dmg

if you already downloaded the old version you don't need to download all the the 263 mb, you can get only the engine (only 13.6 mb...) here and follow this procedure:

1) download and unpack it
2) hold the ctrl key, then click on the old OpenArena icon
3) from the contextual menu you just opened chose "show package contents"
4) in the windows that opens navigate tu Contents/MacOS
5) do the same thing with the new version
6) replace the baseoa folder of the new engine only release (wich is empty...) with the one from the old full release.
7) double-click on OpenArena's icon to enjoy the game... ;-)

If you have a ppc you can use the old version: it should work.

If you already downloaded the windows/linux version you can download the engine only os x release and move the OpenArena icon to the same folder of baseoa.

[rancid punx]

can i ask a noobish question here?

is there anyway of updating version 6 to version 7?

or do you have to download the whole version 7 file?


tx

[jackoverfull]

i think that you have to download the full version: too many things changed...

[rancid punx]

okay


thanks
