This is the "technologi preview" of Open Arena 0.8.2
This mod should be player on the most recent SVN version for maximum results.

Install:
Unpack the oaxB44 into your openarena folder (the one with baseoa), a new folder named 'oaxB44' should be created
Start Open Arena
Go to mods and load oaxB44

New in Beta 44:
* cg_crosshairHealth toggleable in the menu
* Fixed crash during intermission in Elimination and CTF Elimination if a human was dead while the capturelimit was reached and possible other situations.

New in Beta 43:
* Colored crosshair support by chaing RGB values
* BG_CanAlloc introduced, can predict out-of-memory errors and handle them - adding too many bots no longer crashes the game
* Some missing blueish menu items
* Added g_catchup, that makes cheap frags a little more expensive if activated
* A few notices added to UI in different places
* Server source is now: Internet, Internet(2), Internet(3) ... instead of Internet1, Internet2, Internet3 ...

* vertex light is no longer forced on in single player
* Now runs the correct logic then a single player map ends
* Blueish menu

New in Beta 41:
* Persistant powerups are now toggleable (default off in baseoa, default on in missionpack) - g_persistantpowerups

* Fixed infinity loop bug in AAS code caused by the gametype flag.
* Generally improved the bot's Area Awareness System. 
* Added basic 'fariness' system. The CVAR is 'fairflags'. Default value 7 (1+2+4). 1 verifies some basic values. 2 verifies some extended graphics settings. 4 disables vertex light.  
* Added CVAR cg_autovertex. Automatically enables vertex light if allowed. Off by default. Gets enabled if you enable vertex light through the menu.
Note: The fairness system might result in a vid_restart if it detects a bad r_ cvar after the render has been initialized

* log2stdout cvar removed

New in Beta 36:
* Callvote map menu now responds the first time it is activated
* pmove_float added. Makes the physics framerate independent but cost up to 8 times as much network traffic (worst case, normally only a few percent). Mostly for LAN gaming. Note that you must reduce g_gravity to ~756 to get 125 fps gravity.
* Fixed vote exploit (some bugs still remain, needs rewrite)
* Fixed a bug that allowed a client to call more than 3 votes in a single game.
* cg_oldRail now defaults to 0
* Added restore system based on guid. You no longer lose scores when changing team, spectating or leave+rejoin
