Duffy On Team Arena

428
Robert Duffy, programmer for id Software on the Team Arena project has a .plan update discussing quite a bit about the demo release as well as some of the mod capabilities and the ordering system that people can play with. He starts out with word that he will be investigating reports of framerate problems:

[...] I've seen reports that frame-rate "feels pretty much just like Q3A" to "it was drastically slower". We will take a look and see where and when we are losing FPS.
[...]
Team Arena is going to offer some unprecedented capabilities to mod teams. The UI is entirely scripted ( the menu system, in-game system and HUD ) and you can attach videos anywhere in the UI, on the HUD, in maps, anywhere. The sound system pages things in and out as necessary so you are not limited to just a hand full of sounds. You can easily script full inventory systems, purchase systems, pretty much anything you can think of.
