How do you figure?

I've not only worked on Q3 projects. I spent over a year working on the
Antrix emulator as well as writing my own additions to be one of the first
World or Warcraft Emulators to support The Burning Crusade.

Adding protocol support for a game that IS NOT open source is not easy. But
it has been proven that it can be done. I used Wireshark
http://www.wireshark.org/ 90% of the time and a custom sql packet anyalizer
to gather needed data in order to write support for TBC.

Quake 3 doesn't use a database which makes it that much easier to support
other protocals. Just because it may not be easy does not mean it can't be
done. I myself I played on older q3 servers with different protocals and I
never had a problem. I know nothing about the mod that was mentioned but
figured it takes 5 minutes or less to recompile ioQuake3 to see if he could
connect to the mod. Again, I've said before that what I wrote was just a
suggestion.
