Hello,

One of the main reasons why I choose to stick to windows is only because 
dll's are a bit more secure. The problem now days is that QVM's are not 
secure. Do you know why punkbuster no longer supports Q3? I don't know for 
sure but for mod authors along with all of the major game developers for 
Soldier of Fortune 2, Call of Duty, UrbanTerror, World of Padman and many 
others, their code is already out there whether the developers know it or 
not right along with punkbuster's q3 code. QvmKanker is only one of the many 
qvm decompilers. So really, unless you are going to rework the vm in 
ioquake3 to be specific for your game, just using the standard qvm compiler 
and the old q3 code will leave your mod or game freely open for disassembly.
