The goal is to create a source port which enhances the Quake 3 experience in new and unique ways. There's no particular structure - an idea floats about and it might end up as a feature in the project.

Forked from the latest Quake3e, here's a brief overview of new features:

• A flexible display pipeline with renderer selection, fullscreen and windowed mode controls, internal render scaling, HDR, anti-aliasing, and detailed bloom tuning.
• Configurable cel shading for model entities, including map world models, player models, and the first-person weapon, with banded lighting and optional silhouette outlines.
• Optional player highlighting with rimlight and stencil border effects, per-mode team or free colors, and teammate/enemy override colors.
• Flexible 4:3-aware aspect correction for HUDs, menus, UI model widgets, and cinematics, with sensible widescreen options when you want them.
• A much more capable console, including configurable scaling, smoother scrolling, mouse interaction, text selection, drag and drop, and an optional live tab-completion popup.
• An expanded screenshot system with pattern-based naming, optional view metadata sidecars, watermark compositing, and OpenGL cube-map capture.
• CPMA/CNQ3-style rainbow text color escapes, with live preview right in the console input line.
• SDL3 support for video, audio, and input on modern platforms.
• OpenAL is the default audio backend, with device selection, spatial reverb, occlusion, and an easy fallback to the original mixer.
• Compatibility support for Quake III Arena 1.17 .dm3 demo playback alongside standard retail .dm_XX demo formats.
• Compatibility support for older Quake 3 IHV / q3test IBSP v43 maps alongside standard retail Quake III Arena BSP content.

Feel free to leave some feedback and feature suggestions.

It would be easier to read the options on the command completion pop-up box if the background was a solid colour. Nothing else stood out.

The killer feature my buddy and I want is server-side demo recording.

the screenshot cube map feature should come in handy for your panaramic shots (or even expand your feature to full cube map). it could use some testing, though

• added server-side demo recording
• fully opaque console auto-complete pop-up background
• QL BSP and shader support
• PAK file support
• WAL image support
• other minor refinements

oh, and github issues is the preferred method indeed.

Can I ask for one minor change? LOL!!! If another match begins on the same map, close the demo file and start a new file.

The reasoning for this is my buddy and I are recording our demos for posterity. We track all our matches now - statistics, chat messages, as well as scoring and reviewing all our maps. It'd be the final piece of the puzzle to be able to correlate a specific demo file to a specific match when the map doesn't change. Otherwise, if we play three rounds of a map but the third one was the most interesting / rousing, we'd have to watch the first two just to get to the third.

Regardless if this happens or not, I am hugely grateful to you for having done this!
