No no, I didn't say that.  :)  Dpmaster just stores the name the game sends
(except for Q3A because it doesn't send any name, so I arbitrarily choose
"Quake3Arena"). Since OA uses the Q3A master protocol, dpmaster consider OA
servers as Q3A servers, storing "Quake3Arena" as its gamename. Which is the
reason why I cannot tweak the dpmaster.deathmask.net config to handle them
properly now, because dpmaster has no reason whatsoever to think the OA servers
are anything but Q3A servers. It doesn't even bother to look into its internal
game DB for a gamename. Again, the only way I can think of would be to link the
Q3A heartbeat and protocols to "openarena" instead of Q3A.

I confirm "openarena" never worked in the first place. If I understand
correctly, the only message mentioning "openarena" was a client query
(getserversExt). From the master's point of view, it's just a client asking for
servers of a game it never heard about.
