The Challenge Pro Mode (CPM) project was created by Richard 'Hoony' Sandlant in May 1999 (when the 'Q3test' was released) after he realised that Quake 3 Arena was going to have a lot of "newbie-friendly" features and after John Carmack admitted a more challenging version might be better for professional gamers (which is where the name "pro mode" came from). Notes for version 0.99x8 (9 Sep 02):

add: CPM13B map config (PG -> LG)

add: cg_predict (0-2)

	replaces cg_nopredict

	0 = off

	1 = normal

	2 = optimised

	the normal prediction path is extremely slow at times

	(notably around curves) and can cost you 100fps on a GHz machine

	this new scheme is MUCH faster, but slightly more prone to errors.

	oddly enough, it's still more accurate than the original

	id prediction code (i.e. before the CPMA fixes)  :)

	if you have a slow machine, it's definitely worth trying.

	* currently very broken on lifts

add: new scoreboard for DM

	needs a lot of work still, but is VERY cool for GTV  :)

	(accuracy icon is for RL skill: effectiveness and direct hits)

add: assorted GTV-awareness (prepping for live MVD)

add: picture-in-picture for MVD  :P

	(press P to cycle window positions during playback)

add: UPS in MVDs

add: support gametype-specific spawnpoints

chg: allow mappers to specify respawn times for certain types of items

	not weapons (can't play id "pro" maps with polish rules or in ffa)

	not powerups (cpm13 becomes awful)

chg: acc "qualifying" shot count for PG upped from 45 to 50

chg: PickedUp and DiedWith columns renamed to Take and Drop

	was too much space for something so unimportant

fix: explicitly dropping the current weapon didn't switch from it

Julie Stepan @ QuakeCon

Julie Stepan mingles with the nerds waiting in the BYOC registration line. If you haven't been to QuakeCon before, you'd be surprised of the amount of crazy people which turn out for the event. We have some costumed crazies and a guy who looks like John Carmack.
