Invasion is rather old mod (2002) that has been gpl'd by it's authors.
as I hate to see gpl stuff and (eventually q3 mods) die, I think that we can start an OA mod based on it.here is the description from the website:
Invasion is a Quake 3 Mod in which marines fight against aliens.
There are 2 gamemodes :
- Destroy All Eggs (DAE) in which the Marines' goal is too seek & destroy all the Alien Eggs in the map
- Teleport The Egg (TTE) in which the Marines' goal is to find and bring back the Alien Egg to their Teleporter
The game is round based. The marines have to capture the Egg before round end to win. Marines have only one life per round, so if they die, they must wait as spectators until the next round starts. If all marines die, then the aliens win the round.
The marines have good weapons and armor, the aliens have weak weapons and no armor, but they have special powers.
Note that Invasion is not a CTF game. Because the Aliens don't have anything to capture and Marines haven't anything to defend but their life and their mates, so the game is faster, deadlier and really scary.
As with oa version 0.7 we have new human like and alien like player that can be used to replace the original content and very simple modification to the maps to make it compatible.
I think that openarena team should host some gpl oa compatible mods, so the developement is centralised so the mods can benefit from each other and make it also easy for the end user to get new mods for their favourite game when they are tired of just fraging.
