We did not receive the source code for versions prior to 1.32c and there is no way for us to go back to 1.16n or other old versions. For the very few mods that require 1.16n, there is no way to make them work on ioquake3.

Insight into the Q3/RTCW/ET/EF/JK2/JA/etc engine merging process for Spearmint.
Not feeling quite ready to take on Spearmint issue 135, I decided to add support for Elite Force’s RF_FULLBRIGHT (used by holodeck door at level start). I quickly decided to generalize cgame’s control of ambient light.
Why is there a UI virtual machine?
Over the last four years since I started modifying ioquake3, there have been occasions when I’ve wondered why Quake III Arena has separate UI (user interface: main menu, pause menu) and cgame (client-game: HUD, world scene generation, movement prediction, etc) virtual machines. They both run on the client and duplicate various code between them. Merging them had crossed my mind, though I hadn’t ever given it serious thought.
