Spearmint docs.
- Four player splitscreen
- Moved a lot of code from server and client to Game and CGame VMs;
- including console, chat input overlay, usercmd_t creation, and a lot of bot AI code.
- Allow games to modify
entityState_tandplayerState_twithout changing the engine. - Extended API for Game and CGame/UI, includes some of the features from;
- RTCW, WolfET, Tremulous, Turtle Arena, and World of Padman
- Merged UI VM into CGame VM, easier to modify as a whole / more flexible.
- Additional shader keywords.

- New Game -- Information about changing the engine game, data paths, etc.
- New Sounds -- Information about sounds new games might want to add.
Spearmint is not compatible with QVMs/DLLs for existing games. Many source code changes are required to port a game/mod to Spearmint.
Many games have the game code (aka mod code) released. However, most cannot be ported to Spearmint because of the incompatible code licenses. Elite Force, SoF2, FAKK, and Elite Force 2 are under restrictive EULAs. JK2/JA are (apparently?) GPLv2 only. No code for Alice or MoHAA has been released. Currently, if any of these games are going to be made to run on Spearmint, they must be rewritten starting from Q3 code.
Tremulous, World of Padman, Smokin' Guns, Q3Rally, OpenArena, RTCW, and Wolf: ET use compatible licenses (GPLv2+ or GPLv3+) and can be ported. The engine doesn't support all the needed features for all games yet though.
- Quake 3, Team Arena. See mint-arena.
- Turtle Arena. See TA
You're probably not going to have much fun playing it, but it sort of works.
- Elite Force. See mint-voyager.
Lightly modified Q3 code for testing map and shader compatibility.
- RTCW and ET maps are tested using mint-arena.
- SoF2, JK2, JA. See mint-helix.
- FAKK, Alice, EF2. See mint-metal.
