Please test this build.

Changes list since 2.4.2:

http://svn.icculus.org/nexuiz/trunk/cha ... iew=markup

If you find a problem, report it on:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_ ... tid=563407
As always, if it is a crash, try getting a stack trace using whatever methods fit your operating system (OllyDbg on Windows, gdb on Linux and Mac). If it is a Host_Error or another error message, get the log or at least a screenshot of the error message.

Problems found in this build and already solved:
- On 640x480, the new team radar dialog is not wide enough. Fixed in svn.
- Overtime shows the wrong message (something about the race being over). Also fixed.

Known problems:
- No maps for Race and Assault included. Need ideas which race maps to include, Assault maps are in the works.

Should we test this build,or svn is fine too?

Ok, I got this one here.
Any Mac-specific testing required?
I'm on an Intel machine and a Radeon2600Pro btw.

Comment: Instagib is unique from Minstagib, lack of demand is normal - Nexuiz functions on negative re-enforcement, rather than compliments system.

Benefits from removing Instagib are nearly non-existent, while the loss of choice is more deliberating for a FOSS project.

I think warmup needs a message saying 'warmup' in big text, the bots are annoying as I noted on the nexuiz bug list, I'd like to see new flags in the next release and what's the deal with flag caps? Can we set the number as a limit but count points seperately?

Other than those few things, I think it's great. The radar is slick as hell, the added weapon slots and sounds are great and whaddup sexy scoreboard? I've got a couple servers running.

It got removed as an option, as it is equivalent to:

g_start_weapon_laser 0
g_start_weapon_shotgun 0
g_start_weapon_nex 1
g_use_ammunition 0
g_powerups 0
g_pickup_items 0

That is, exactly how you set up any other weapon arena mode. Rocket Arena could die the same death, except that some people actually LIKE it, so it's neat to have it on a single cvar instead of having to set multiple of them.

And there WAS a benefit: not having to code it again, as the new weapon system would have required that.

BTW, the reason why nobody likes Instagib is obvious: it has no laser. A better replacement for Instagib in Nexuiz would be:

g_start_weapon_shotgun 0
g_start_weapon_nex 1
g_use_ammunition 0
g_powerups 0
g_balance_laser_primary_damage 0.00001 // nonzero so it still applies force normally

(that is, keeping the laser enabled, but making it virtually damageless).

And this is again mostly equivalent to:

g_minstagib 1
g_use_ammunition 0
g_powerups 0

That is, "Minstagib without items or ammo".

Thanks for this build, now I don't have to compile it myself .

But, when I created a new starter I wondered: why isn't there a Nexuiz icon included with the game? So I made one:

(PNG, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 and 128x128)

I just played it for about 15 minutes. Didn't run into any bugs. Looks pretty!

PS: I am glad you are imitating the UT games.

Did you perhaps have packet loss? Did the error message contain the magic word "sort_next"?
