Sorry, forgot to mention it when I posted.
But new post went up on the web site yesterday:

And new POTW, Hammerman's upcoming VCTF-CE-Submagma:
Relics are coming. The relics and effects are currently still early WIP stuff, so no pics of those were posted yet. But they are coming.

Cool, thanks.
And here's a bit of possible good news; Jb said in IRC tonight that it looks like we may be able to have animated relics (edit: you know, the pickups themselves). That would be cool.

Not Animated textures . Animated meshes.

Low only uses one light source and a smaller texture for the shadow. Medium uses two and a bigger texture file. However shadows are hard for graphics cards to handle. So the higher the detail you go, the slower it could get on your hardware. Due to this we probably wont have a high setting. However if there is enough demain, it would be easy to add a high setting (as its already in the system, just not activated).
