OpenArena Older Versions Mappack

This repository holds older versions of OpenArena maps. It's no secret that OA players like these older versions rather than the newer ones. It's also a fact that these versions hold several problems as well, such as bad/missing gametype support (i.e. CTF maps only supporting CTF) so these "improved" old versions aim to fix these problems as well as any extra bugs and glitches.

Considerations

• The maps have different names, so not to clash with the current ones. For example, am_galmevish from 0.8.1, the map name is 081am_galmevish; am_underworks from 0.8.5 is 085am_underworks and so on...
• These versions are considered non-official versions, and as such, aren't officially supported nor are we going to include them in official releases. If anything, we want to move on from the "ugly" visuals which already makes OA gaming's favourite punchbag.
