QIII4A is a port of ioquake3 to Android. It is based on GPL source code with some usage of kwaak3 source code. Note that THIS APP DOESN'T CONTAIN OR DOWNLOAD ANY OF QUAKE 3 DATA FILES, you need to copy "baseq3" folder from Quake 3 game (patched to the latest version, for example you can buy it on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/2200/ ) to the folder specified in QIII4A launcher (create that folder manually, example of correct path to "baseq3" folder: "/sdcard/qiii4a/baseq3" with "/sdcard/qiii4a" directory in launcher). But you can use OpenArena also (just press a button in launcher to download and install it).
Controls features:
- 10-finger multitouch =)
- Move and resize all controls.
- Hide controls and add more, you can configure opacity for any control.
- Analog movement joystick
- Full mouse support! (with root rights only). This is the only port that supports mouse (at the moment).
- Gamepad and keyboard support just as on your PC: you can rebind buttons in-game or in console for advanced tuning.
Graphics features:
- Configure resolution and color depth by yourself. You can even set 100x100 resolution: all resolutions are supported (except negative values =)).
- Set MSAA for best graphics.
Known issues:
1) In-game videos show a black screen (randomly).
