Oni Team Arena. Developed by [[User:geyser|geyser]], after an "Unreal Tournament" attempt by [[User:Script_10k|Script10k]], with help from [[User:Your_Mom|Your_Mom]] and [[User:EdT|EdT]]. Emulates multiplayer-like gameplay with respawning bots, meant to experiment with advanced modding, multiplayer-oriented or not (e.g., AI or collision upgrades). Project page [[AE:OTA|HERE]]. Currently more or less maintained by [[User:Gumby|Gumby]], but don't hold your breath (ADD, scope creep, whatever). In fall 2008, the Mac engine was brought on par with the PC engine, with [[BSL]] functions such as [[chr_focus]] and [[chr_location]], which opened the way for a platform-independent and fully featured version of OTA. | Oni Team Arena.

Some multiplayer-related features are actually present in Oni, such as "combat stats" (frag and damage counters) for every character. These combat stats are not yet accessible from [[BSL]] and so are not put to use in OTA; another problem is that dying AI lose their [[MELE]] profile, so that bots can't keep fighting after they've been fragged. | |||
