Maybe someone will take them and see what can be done with 'em.

When a player dies and their weapon falls out, it would be nice if another player could shoot that weapon. So maybe if someone with only the MG saw a RG setting closer to another person than him, he could shoot it over the ledge so the other one want get it.

Like so:

Code:
if(weapon = released)
{
        letplayershootaround;
}

"For you that have played Painkiller knows about people can fly gametype were all u have is the rocket launcher and u can only frag someone while they are in the air... so we are talking midair instagib rockets... its very fun.

Its a big job... it took me a whole day just to make it compile in C++ mode thanks to all the implicit type conversions :)

Theres definately bits of Q3 that would benefit from inheritance + polymorphism though (look at surfaceType_t for a good example).

Oh I know its possible - like I said, it took a day to get it compiling (engine, botlib, and renderer) in C++ mode, and running exactly as per an unmodified version. There were about 2000 "errors" to fix, IIRC.

Going through replacing all the vec3_t's float*'s etc with a vector class takes a while too.

Right now its got some classes in it, although this evening I've broken things quite majorly by making a big change - it'll be working again soonish though :)

(note that I'm a LONG way from a fully C++'d q3).
