Hi un dead, I've been trying for some time to build a client that would act as a middle layer to Erlang and Java VMs, so it becomes easier for agents (i.e. bots) in those languages to hook up to real servers. My idea is to replace the renderer with an API to query the game world, and send the commands from the VM agent instead of the client QVM (as far as I could understand how q3 works). Do you think your client could make this task easier?
