Sorry still haven't got around fixing the models, even though my holidays were kind of boring.
Have you thought about using the FTEqw engine instead? Seems more suitable with all it's real time editing features (lights, terrain; also has ragdolls) to your idea of a sandbox game.
Not sure why you think dvd sizes are important for a download only game, but yes keeping filsize down is a good idea.
Using per face texture is btw a bad idea as it creates very inefficient UV maps that multiply the vertex count to be rendered and thus effect performance very badly (especially with animated meshes).
The mech is really a long way off before it could be put into a game (no uv, no proper mesh structure for animation, no rig, no texture etc.).
You actually seem to put quite a lot of effort onto this, so it is a pitty that this remains such an obscure and messy project. How about you come up with a proper theme and streamline it a bit toward that? I know I said this before and you politely disagreed, but I think it is quite vital.
Maybe some sort of timetravelling coop action FPS/RPG hybrid? Does Darkplaces support NPC enemies in multiplayer? I am thinking a bit like Left4Dead but instead of fighting zombies you are a group of mercenary timetravellers that jump into historical battles to steal some valuable or so in the chaos :)
Well in that case someone should backport those nice features to Darkplaces :p
I especially like the in-game terrain and realtime lights editor.

Compatibility to Xonotic isn't too bad: http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=4664

Edit: there is also now a cool CSQC forum here: http://forums.inside3d.com/viewforum.php?f=16
And someone is working on a nice RPG like inventory in CSQC here:

great... the mix of chip-tunes with "real" instuments should be done more often :)
AFAIK the texture from cgtextures are not PD or any CC license:

Nice, too bad that there arn't any freely licensed textured for them.
Not that I plan to use the UDK levels, but what would be the license on them?
must have in any first person realism shooter ;)
Thanks for posting these... nice work!
We need more game usable 3D stuff like this here on OGA :)

Great song!
heh, this is like the most confusing game ever :)
