At this time, unless the coder appears and gives us the source code to use, I don't see it happening.

The next version of Chaos will probably not happen until either Quake 4 or there has been some discussion of making the MOD for Doom 3

nothing is close to Chaos... there is either Chaos or nothing... :D

Actually, I don't know of anything, maybe some of the other members may have more info for you... and yes, we have tried everything except hiring a detective to find the person who has all the source code for Q3 Chaos... got an extra couple thousand $'s to fund a detective? 8O

Yes, unfortunately that's where we stand with the Quake side of things. Q3 at this point is out of our hands, but Q4/Doom3 are not. On the Unreal Tournament side of things, we are working hard on the UT 2003 version...
Rimshot has people ready for Q4/Doom3 as soon as something is released, so Chaos is coming back to that side of the FPS playing field...

I never got into Q3, but I do remember folks talking about a mod that had some sort of, at least somewhat similar, "Chaos" type of play.

I think the author even came by and chatted about it. Might have been old forums though cause I didn't see thread just now with a quick scan.

There is one though, if eidolon still came to Moo forums, he could tell you. Maybe somebody here will remember.

You could try Painkeep arena.... http://www.planetquake.com/teamevolve/projects/pka/

That might be the closest q3 mod to Chaos...

yeah painkeep for q3 arena! As it stands the original chaos DM was highly influenced by painkeep... whish was a quake1 mod.

Ultimate

There was another Mod that has some similar things in it.... off handle Grapple etc....

I think it was called Ultimate or Ultima Mod.

But that was one of the coders I almost recruited, he told me it was just patched code from the Tutorial sites tha he had experimented with.

Don't know how it plays, think it was buggy.

I have always had chaos in my blood, and the Q3 mod I found that is just as highly addictive as q2chaos
is the Q3 mod "Excessive Overkill" heres a link to it...

be careful, you may not look back ever again...

Hay Rimshot - is it maybe "Ultra" that you're thinking of?

I'm pretty sure that was the name of the mod eidolon turned us on to while we were waiting...
I looked it up and I think it's called Ultra Freeze now (at least the author's name looked familiar)

You might want to have a look at this one way2Kool, it's grapple was quite good as I recall.
But it's not Chaos. :(
