Hi Alf, You sent this to me personally, did you want to keep this offlist ? I did not see anything particularly private in your message, but I'm replying offlist in any case.
Cheers,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd

That seems like a wasted effort. Two ports doing exactly the same
thing but with different datafiles ? Sounds to me like installing
mpg123 to play "openbsd43.mp3" and mpg321 to play "openbsd42.mp3".
Maybe there are specific changes to the source that are
openarena-only, but from what I can tell so far this is not the case.
Once I have finished copying my baseq3/ to one drm-capable laptop I
have, I will check to make sure Q3A-datafiles work with openarena (by
copying them into baseoa/)
Cheers,
