Hello Alientrap : Introducing a New Nexuiz Public Server

[Colt Seavers]

Hi all,

Just thought I would register as I have just discovered Nexuis and think it's a great game.
At last I won't have to switch to bootcamp XP when I want an FPS fix : though judging by my performance on various servers so far, I have alot of practice to do.

I run a gaming community which has just been reborn as http://www.playportal.net. After finding Nexuis, I decided to run a server for it - Playportal.net Nexuis Server in the in game browser. It's UK based and has a low ping / fast 100mb unrestricted connection on a dedi box.

I've started to plug the game at Playportal - and that's my other reason for saying Hi here - the more of you that sign up at Playportal and wax lyrical about this amazingly accomplished open source development, the more likely we are to get the server regularly busy with our members and the more likely it is to remain a permanent server.

We started as a creative gamers community and have many mappers amongst us. I enjoy Sound Engineering, plus we have several coders / developers who may, if they get the bug for your superb project, want to get involved.

So. Hi ....and hope to see some of you soon in game. Pop along to Playportal and big up the game and it's community

All the best

Colt

Hi and welcome!

Might be a server, where both the USA and the EU players could play. Thanks for invitation.

It's called Nexuiz

Hi and welcome to Nexuiz! <-- did you notice the "z"?

Edit: darn, too late!

sounds like an interesting idea. For valuable tips on gameplay see

although the newer weapons (HLAC, Tag/Seeker, Portal Gun, Camping rifle, Hook) are not yet represented there.

Enjoy!

And why would they need to be there? After all there is a reason this version is STILL IN DEVELOPMENT.. its nice to have SOME test servers from people that understand the system and are close to the developers to be able to find bugs and report them, maybe even fix them. But games need to have versions/releases to make sure stuff is most compatible, and also to make sure the players NOTICE when a new version is out and NOT to confuse them about releases. Not to say there are a few extra things to be done for test servers to make sure 2.4.2 players can enjoy them..

So all in all i think there are already MORE then enough test servers online and would appreciate if Colt Seavers just hosts a 2.4.2 server till the next release is done.

Welcome by the way

PS the Link by Halogene is basicly exactly the same as the file Nexuiz/Docs/basics.html ..

I always tend to forget that 2.4.2 is basically the current release.

To me, the SVN version looks (and sounds) (and feels) so much better than the 2.4.2 already, that the worst thing I have to say about it is that I hate that darn message at the bottom right. I believe the SVN version has already acquired a stableness where it has a lot fewer bugs than 90% of the commercial computer games at the date of their official release.

Why are the Nexuiz developers so darn perfectionist?!

I guess, because they rock, that's why

Watch the console or read the default settings file, it mentions how to turn that off.. and you find hints regarding this problem in some threads about the beta versions for 2.4 and 2.4.2. The first two is easier though
That line was added to make sure people really understand what they get when using one of the build scripts from the forum..

Well some sounds are still missing, but maybe now that Tenshihan seems to be getting better that might soon be done. And some people are still doing replacements for some gun models, ammo.. maps.. but i'd say its quite well otherwise

It might very well be you just made my day Thx

/me pushes the thread back on its trails

*cough* so I hope many players sign up there at Playportal to promote this game and its community!

*evil laugh*

A server where I will have low ping!

Heres a quick list of ctf maps you may want to have off the top of my head:

hydronexb7
symdusty_v2r1
mentalspace
greatwall_reloaded3
dance
resevoir_r4
moonstone
facing_worlds_nex2

You should be able to find all of them here:

Most of these are bad CTF map examples. However, bad maps make server more popular. So it's your choice.
