It's good to know that only one Generation left to be done!

I have a questions that bothers me since Quake's recent official update: will you port all the new high quality sounds from a Quake Remaster to Generations Arena? I suppose it'll be a good thing if it is possible.

No promises, but I'll be looking at sound stuff after the model work is complete.  ;)

Yay! Saving the best for last. Strogg/Quake 2 is my all time favorite 🤠!

Arena needs no additional work? That's good to know.

Arena shouldn't need any animation work at all since it's all default Q3 and Team Arena weapons.  Once all the animations are finished for the 4 classics, the Arena Gladiators will get their animation2.cfg restriction lifted.  This will allow any third-party model to be available for the Arena Gladiators class.  It will work as follows:

Earth, Doom, Slipgate, and Strogg will require an animation2.cfg file to exist for a given player model.  This file is checked when loading the model and loads the new animations, as well as containing a token to restrict which class it can be used for.  If you're an Earth Soldier and you try to select a model that does not have "class earth" in the animation2.cfg file (such as Ranger or Doom since they're a different class), or the animation2.cfg file does not exist, the load request is rejected and you'll be switched to the default Earth Soldiers model (Sarge/default).  If you select a model that does have the animation2.cfg file and class_earth token (Sarge, Mynx, Biker, or Razor) then the load will succeed.

If you're an Arena Gladiator and you select a model that has an animation2.cfg file, the load request is rejected and you'll be switched to the default Arena Gladiators model (Visor/default).

If you're an Arena Gladiator and you select a model that has no animation2.cfg file the load request will succeed.  Example:  Darth Vader, R2D2, Megatron... anything that's not already specified.

Hope that makes sense.  This will really only happen of you use the command line.  The in-game menu will have it set up so you can't pick the wrong model for the wrong class by selecting an icon.
