[quake3] Supported protocols

[Mariusz Przybylski]

Hi,

Which protocols ioq3 currently supports ? Yesterday i've tried to 
connect to one of the NoGhost 1.16n servers, and received wrong protocol 
error.

Currently NoGhost is 3rd most played q3 mod today, right after Urban 
Terror and CPMA. However it uses protocol version 43 (point release 
1.16n) thus forbidding ioq3 to connect.

What I thought of is that it would be a very good idea to give a support 
for older protocols (like 1.16, 1.31 etc.), to make ioq3 client actually 
USEFUL for real gameplay. I don't really know how much work it would 
take to have multiple network codebases, but surely it would pay off, by 
gaining more players' attention, not only developers. And there are at 
least half hundred players on 1.16 platform.

Would it be possible to have older protocol(s) supported? And if yes, by 
what means?
