What are your thoughts on this?
Also, the command "\cg_draw3Dicons" looks cool, never tried it

Not presently, but it can be set up to do so. I'd need to have a server with enough people in it to test.
A lot better than the previous loading screen
Previous loading screen was just default Quake 3.

There are almost around 20 players playing on Stealth's server. You could test it on that one, it doesn't matter if Stealth is on 1536 or not.

Regardless, you can use Visual Studio or Visual Express in order to work with the source code and compile it. Visual C++ Express 2005/2008 RTM/SP1 have both C and C++ compiler. Visual Studio is on the same boat.

I'm liking the updates, of course. I have a question for the team though:
Why are you guys so bent upon improving menu, loading screens, HUD (2D art) and adding things like far-clipping, fogs and creating/adding new maps, etc? Shouldn't you prioritize gameplay first and candy & quantity later?
Does this mean you guys plan on improving the mêlée/beams or are you just "finalizing" ZEQ2-Lite?

Multitude of reasons.
[1] Many of these systems are incredibly archaic and have never been updated beyond their Quake 3 rendition. If they only take an hour or two to fix up and offer a reprise from that of otherwise mundane alternatives, I don't see any problems in doing so.
[2] Performance is important. Rendering options like farclipping and mipmapping adjustments are there to help increase framerates on lower-end systems while still retaining quality. Additionally, they allow addon-creators to fine-tune their creations so their results look and perform optimally.
[3] Different developers specialize in different areas. We can't very well expect to grab a handful of experienced mappers and tell them to tackle programmatic bugs or animations. Contributors (like yourself) tend to have specialized traits that limits what they can offer. If they are willing to work and are available, but can only offer assistance in particular areas, I see absolutely no reason to have them just sit idle and wait around just because that area may not be a priority.
Does this mean you guys plan on improving the mêlée/beams or are you just "finalizing" ZEQ2-Lite?
Many of the gameplay-aspect revisions like mêlée and so forth require extensive animation work to be done. Since majority of the systems in place were just intended as placeholders anyhow, there's little point in attempting to rewrite the code when no applicable animations/media exist to support the areas that need to be revised properly.
A recent revision (1629 -- I believe) did have a plethora of tweaks and changes on a mechanical level, however.

Tell me now what your thoughts are on this... *laughing out loud* I stumbled upon it while playing the latest revision. D: I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this...

You're probably not. Everybody can see the content on latest revision, so you're not revealing anything
Still, I think the whole Frieza character should be discarded, it really isn't balanced.

Nothing is balanced right now. Not one single thing :p
