The Reaction Quake Team has released an update for Reaction Quake, bringing it to version 3.1. Reaction Quake is a Quake port designed for custom level design and internal game code modification. The update features bug fixes and game enhancements including improved aiming. According to the Reaction Quake Team:

Since our release 2 weeks ago, we've come across some things that we've decided were worthy of a quick fix or tweak, and in some cases, a small addition.

Reaction Quake 3 (or simply known as "Reaction") is essentially a direct-as-possible port of Action Quake 2 (AQ2) to Quake 3: Arena.

Because the A-Team decided to continue work on Action Half-Life and Action Unreal Tournament, there will be no official port of AQ2 to Quake 3.

Reaction Quake 3 is a community-based effort to implement the gameplay from the hit modification with Quake 3's superior rendering engine and networking code.

This is solely a code revision, no maps or models in this one.

3.1:

In-game server browser now fixed to show RQ3 3.x games, yay!

Added an error message to the /radio command to let you know if your bind is messed up and you're trying to play a radio sound that does not exist

Allowed CTB radio sounds to also be played in other team-based modes

Added a Zoom Sensitivity Lock during fire sequence of ssg to improve aiming

Added local cvar cg_RQ3_ssgZoomSensLock to enable or disable the feature above (default enable)

Upgraded the gamesource RQ3 is built on from 1.29h to 1.32b

Removed most of the unlagged stuff. Only optimized prediction and smooth clients remains

With allWeapon/allItems enable it won't toss weapons/items when you die

Various helmet bugs fixed
