Things we won't ever be doing! Autotools. Scons New build system of the week. Punkbuster (unless even balance wants to work with us) Modifications to the core Quake 3: Arena/ Team Arena gameplay. Put that into your great mod, don't screw with this. Removing the CD Key/pk3 checksums, yes jerks are going to do this on their own, no we aren't going to support them. Obviously that doesn't apply if you're making a total conversion. That is, if you're not using any id data from the pk3s from either Team Arena or the original game itself. Removing the SDL/OpenAL header files from SVN. Having them in SVN makes it easier for non-Linux platforms to compile the game. This isn't changing. MP3 support. It is already done, see: http://icculus.org/quake3/?page=patches
