Please help! Test the nexuiz hotfix!

[esteel]

Nexuiz has been released in version 2.4.2 please update to that version and no longer use this hotfix as all its changes and more are in 2.4.2 !!! See here: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=3087

Hi there.

As you might have noticed quite some people have problems with the 2.4 release.. The devs are trying to fix them but we need to make sure the fixes work and do not introduce new bugs. So please help to test this 'hotfix' and report problem you experience! The more testing it gets the faster a new version can be released!

The hotfix will get replaced with new versions now and then, please come back and take a look at this post to see if something changed. If you report problems with the hotfix please tell us what version you used! Easiest way is to tell us what name the data/datapatch*.pk3 file has. Also please make sure that if you open the ingame console with shift-escape it shows the same date as the before mentioend file. Thanks!
http://emptyset.endoftheinternet.org/~p ... _2.4.1.zip (As of the moment, 2008-05-05 16:00 this is the latest version!!)
http://emptyset.endoftheinternet.org/~p ... NEWEST.zip (This one will always be the LATEST version in case i'm too slow to update the previous link..)
Just extract the hoxfix over your old installation/files... A REMINDER for mac users.. Extract the hotfix somewhere and then copy the single files from the data directory into your old data directory and copy the rest from the Nexuiz directory (excluding the data directory!) into your old Nexuiz directory. If you would also copy the data directory it would DELETE the old files that you still need for Nexuiz to work!!

BTW please remove the old Nexuiz/pro directory.. before it was single files, now they come in a .pk3 file like Nexuiz/data (but nexuiz will still load the old and outdated single files when they are there)

To see what was fixed/changed so far please take a look at the developers wiki: http://www.alientrap.org/devwiki/index. ... xuiz.Patch
(no need to keep stuff twice)

Did you extract the hotfix over your 2.4 installation? It should ask if its ok to overwrite nexuiz.exe and so on.. Seems like it simply can't find all the image files from your original installation

I'll be testing the hotfix on Windows now for you. I'll be posting the results in a short while.

works good..
bots crashing in keyhunt which made campaign 15 unusable works^^
i have to test "lag"
uh n i have to fix my bug that i can not pickup health :> bots killed me alltime haha

Results:

- 'Lag' that a lot of people seem to have had in 2.4
=> Seems to be fixed since Nexuiz was running smoother with the patch
- sometimes when joining a game particles did not show (like explosions, rockettrails)
=> Not sure, the first server I joined wasn't displaying the map correctly, it was a dark place with only the items displayed

Testing more soon.

You did not have the map and the map download on the server did not work.. So not your problem or Nexuiz.. Guess either the download configuration on the server is wrong or maybe the file server it points to has the map removed.
Which server and map was it?

[Mirio]

It IS a problem
happened to me in 2.3 too ..
you have to delete the map in dlcache and join the server again
players say it often on cbtctf(or how its called) (-> Space) , and in 2.4 its with facing sometimes too ^^

"lag" , seems to be better , but i lose my connection so can not test it good

[GreEn`mArine]

Is this a patch that will only be needed to be applied clientside, or does it make a difference if also applied serverside?

[[BOT]Misio PL]

I just intalled "hotfix", but game now is not playable, on all servers I have ping 1000 and 30-40% pl.

When I play with my old 2.3 everything is fine.

Is it possible to remove this "hotfix"?
I want my 2.4 back
