Development

Developers stuff here such as SVN, tools, etc.

SVN Repository
WARNING: The repository is huge, so unless you're going to develop something for it, we don't recommend getting the whole thing.

If you just want to play the game, then you don't need to rebuild the PK3 files. There is checksum protection when played online, and you will be kicked if you use different PK3s than a pure server! Just stick to the release data files and you won't have problems.

The SVN repository is here.

Source Code

The engine used is a SVN version of Ioquake3 with patches.
Source code for the engine and game can be found here

New Versions

The development in-progress version of the code is called OAX, which can be found in a seperate repository here. The forum thread for its development and feedback is here. New changes from this get committed to the OA project when it's ready.

Model Tools
The model format OpenArena uses is MD3, which is a vertex animated format with support for positional tags and multiple surfaces.

We use Blender 3D 2.49 and newer for exporting MD3 files with. MisfitModel 3D can also be used to export MD3 files, but its animation capabilities are unknown.
