Nexuiz 2.3 very soon now

[esteel]

A while ago we announced the first 2.3 test version (http://alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1591) now its time for the second test version!

All the issues from back then should be solved, there are new features, new bug fixes, new maps and more interesting stuff then ever before. Take a peak at it and report your finding, grapes or praise. A list of changes and download links are here: http://www.alientrap.org/devwiki/index. ... xuiz.Patch

Server admins should also install that file: http://141.2.16.3:7780/nex/files/waypoi ... es-0.6.pk3 and those settings to make sure older clients can connect:
sv_curl_defaulturl http://141.2.16.3:7780/nex/files/
sv_curl_serverpackages waypointsprites-0.6

geez, I almost forgot to post a problem I have here on my company PC:

when I open the console, I can hardly type any commands as my [space] key isn't recognized as such. Just happening on this one here, not at home, and I've no idea what's the reason. Silly me, I didn't tell my colleague next to me to try...

Couldn't find out exactly but I think it acts like a tab key or the [esc]. Quite funny. Nevertheless, I'm running the download of the new version now and I'm gonna have a try in about an hour when work is done

EDIT:

Code: Select all

bind "SPACE" "toggleconsole"

seems to be the problem, but only in the versions newer than 2.23 and now I know why I don't have that problem at home. I don't even know how that bind came into my config...

I do not know what I shall do now: I already have a sv_curl_defaulturl defined so that clients are able to download custom maps. What shall I do now with it?

Wow, this is a very bad release for me now.

In general, FPS have decreased. I did a timedemo for a selfcreated listenserver demo with 9 bots on aggressor. Results:
Nex v2.3 beta1:

result 2533 frames 10.0960000 seconds 250.8914422 fps, one-second min/avg/max: 179 251 360

Nex v2.3 beta2:

result 2533 frames 13.6870000 seconds 185.0661211 fps, one-second min/avg/max: 125 185 210

div0: NO, I'm not that stupid. I did "r_picmipworld 1". Other than that, all settings are the same (copied config/autoexec file)

Spawnsounds are very bad too, since they are the same as the teleporter sound, which is really confusing. Either another sound, or disable it by default pls.

AH, and btw: tdem demo1 -> Nexuiz crashes after half a sec of playing the demo.

Systemspecs: P4 3.2 Ghz, 1 GB Ram, ATI x850 Pro
Nex settings for benchmarking/playing: very low settings in general, gl_picmip 4, gl_vbo 1

Either mirror waypointsprites-0.6.pk3 or use a curl_urls.txt file as described in Nexuiz/Docs/mapdownload.txt

or use a curl_urls.txt file as described in Nexuiz/Docs/mapdownload.txt

Thats what I did. Thx. .de PlanetNexuiz server is running with beta2 now.

Oh, by the way: If this test release happens to be slower than the previous one you may want to try to toy around with the new r_depthtest cvar (valid values 0, 1 and 2).


edit: I mean r_depthfirst

[GreEn`mArine]

r_depthtest 0/1/2 combined with r_restart doesn't yield any improvements!

[KadaverJack]

r_depthtest 0/1/2 combined with r_restart doesn't yield any improvements!

there is no cvar r_depthtest, it's r_depthfirst

My, am I an idiot.

Oupsie, sorry.
