I know this will sound weird, but what about a mod that takes place in the 17th or 18th century where you have you are armed with muskets, pistols, swords, bows and arrows.

It would be cool to be able to command bots in a way that they will line up in formations like in CTF, and maybe have custom skins/models with knights, soldiers like the musketeers and grenadiers, people on horses, etc. I know the mod Maldavria was meant for that, but I never got it to work.

Any ideas?

Kind of like Maldavria?

The problem with Q3 modding nowadays lies in a MD3 exporting bottleneck - many scripts and plugins are regressed by 3d modeling suite upgrades, let alone having anyone left with knowledge of exporting new players necessary for such a thing

For example, to export a MD3 from Blender 2.6X, I have to export a carefully crafted IQM first (with tag names for carefully made bones), then convert that to MD3 with Noesis. This is because the MD3 exporters got regressed.
