I was poking around a source port called Quake3e last night. The new renderer can add subtle UT99-style coronal glows to light sources.

It amuses me how much of a tell that is for UT99 environments. Q3A's feel shifts dramatically towards UT99 with these flares turned on.

Would be targeting a #Europe friendly time but I won't stop people based in other regions from joining though. ;) A game and Mumble server for (optional) voice communication shall be provided.
