Description

AfterShock, in the past known as oaUnofficial, is GPLv2 open-source mod for OpenArena, that focuses on competitive gaming. It includes a lot of features, like detailed scoreboards, new weapon effects and some extra variables, like the ability to select a specific player model to be applied to the enemy team only, and to change its colors ("brightskins" to make seeing enemies easier). It has got a modified and customizable HUD, a "ready/notready" system during warmup (match begins only when enough players are "ready") and the clan arena gametype is more improved than the original. It features reduced-damage railgun and lightningun (enabled or disabled via cvars).

AfterShock aims to become a standalone game sometimes in future.

A fork of the mod is AfterShock XE.
