Mod description Edit

Bid for Power is a Total Conversion designed for Quake 3 Arena, that completely changes the game. It features huge outdoor maps, thirdperson view, characters that fly and do not use weapons, but evergy attacks thanks to their own "ki" (aura, spirit energy or how you want to call it), and melee combat if needed.

The mod was initially designed using Dragon Ball Z characters and locations, but copyright issues forced them to retool it, removing DBZ references and creating brand new characters. Unofficial packages that allowed to add back DBZ-related stuff were available on the net.

A variety of fan-based alternatives were made, such as English BFP and Bid For Speed.

Installation Edit

Just copy it in your openarena directory.

Client side: it seems you have to manually activate the mod in the mods section of the game menu before joining a server running bfpq3, otherwise you will get kicked from it.
