It would be better to make a special build system for OS X, like the Win32 one I made.

please remove that 'Testing only!' On Screen Message!

You didnt do it before so dont start with it!
We already know what it is for!

if you really think you need this to stop the improper distribution, than do it with a switch..

Didn't do WHAT before? That picture was there for years now.

And yes, I have stopped this improper distribution now. By revoking access to these builds.

Use the build system.

As for a switch: is "showbrand 0" not good enough for you?

EDIT: esteel added that image to regular svn too. I have no idea why he did that. Anyway, put "showbrand 0" in your autoexec.cfg and it's gone.

I have made a couple of ebuilds that will simplify the building process for gentoo users.

Here's a link to the gentoo bug page with the ebuilds: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256209

For users not familiar with portage and/or how to install ebuilds outside of the main tree: http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:hto ... =firefox-a

These packages are live ebuilds, that need to be unmasked:

Code: Select all

echo 'games-util/fteqcc **' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo 'games-fps/darkplaces **' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo 'games-fps/nexuiz **' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords


you may now enable some use flags:

Code: Select all

echo 'games-fps/darkplaces alsa nexuiz opengl oss sdl' >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo 'games-fps/nexuiz pack' >> /etc/portage/package.use


Notice that the pack use flag will cause a repack of all the sources into a single pk3. This process can take a fairly large amount of time, but does save you quite some diskspace. In my case the uncompressed data was around 2.5GB, while the compressed image was 560MB.

Now install them:

Code: Select all

emerge nexuiz


At some later time you may want to upgrade to the newest svn revision, here's how to update all the packages:

Code: Select all

emerge -1 fteqcc darkplaces nexuiz


Happy fragging and if you have any problems or questions - let me know.

thanx for "showbrand 0" divvergent!

havent found this with a quick look at the3 readme, sorry.

MY problem was that SUDDENLY, after doing an update via that SVN-build system you supplied, this annoying on Screen message appeared. never seen before, even wihile using the svn build all the time.

sorry, didnt want to embarass you.
i apologize.

It always appears before official release

I simply enabled that brand icon because i feel like currently more and more people use a build from svn without a real idea what its about. Like the fact that some of divVerent old builds seems to have spread way more then intended. Posts like in the NexuizNinjaz forum were people are only dropped a link to the win 32 build system in this forum without properly telling those people that they will be beta testers then (kinda), might get a broken version that might not even start at all, that it would be great if they report bugs they find in the official forum and such stuff.. Besides people that know a bit about svn and Nexuiz should have no problem to find out how to disable this warning.

However Z had a IMO nice idea there.. maybe DivVerent could port over this "special-maps" popup so that playing on svn servers also give a clean idea that this is not a normal server but one used for development. Ultimatly maybe even displaying the current revision

Not sure, that notice before every single map would simply be too much of a nuisance...

but if there were a way to show it only once after connecting, but not after every map change, then it'd be great.

Yes a more obvious MOTD would help immensely I believe. The warning dialog would be perfect because it requires the user to acknowledge they at least SAW it

I tried to download but there ist a password required and the site with the torrent... error 404

See what divVerent wrote here: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?p=52102#52102

Compile from source. On Windows, use the "Nexuiz SVN Build System", which ensures you always get a current build. On Arch Linux, use that package Xeno made. On other Linux distributions or OS X, build from source manually or using scripts posted by others on this forum.

The builds are now password protected, as people apparently started distributing them elsewhere as "release". So from now on, only trusted people can download the builds.

btw, is it normal that you can't create servers with SVN?

lol, no.. how exactly is it not possible?
Works for the planetnexuiz.de servers

Do you mean a listen server set up in-game Chubby?

no, I mean the in-game server creating. In the menu.

The ingame server IS the listen server.. the 'stand alone one' is the dedicated servre..

Listen server worked for me last time i tried that.. but why not tell us what exactly does not work?
Do you no even see the menu entry for that?
Do you press the start multiplayer button and nothing happens?
Any error messages?

hmm, I think you guys don't understand it. I can setup a map, number of bots etc. But when I press create server, it sends me a whole console logs with reasons why I can't create a server.

and the reasons aaaarrreeeeee ?

Screenshot please

If you still can use the console after that type "condump errorlog.txt", then post that file to http://pastebin.com or similar.

here's a screenie:

You forgot to compile csprogs.dat.

huh? Isn't that standard when you download it?

No the three .dat files (menu.dat progs.dat and csprogs.dat) are the compiled gamecode. And you only download the csprogs.dat from the SERVER if you do not have the same one (checksum and length added to the filename, thus those downloaded files are only used if you reconnect to such an server.. and the checksum will not match that of YOUR server anyway). As YOU are hosting the server and you don't have it you can't download it
I wonder.. if you would just use the svn build script from the forum it should be impossible to not have this file.. why do it that hard way?

Thanks for this merlijn

There is now a public beta of the next version available: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=4321
So it would be much more helpful if people use and test THIS one!

I don't get a nexuiz-sdl in the new nexuiz dir, only the -glx one. I dont see how the script creates the -glx either. (I also failed to write a script that makes the -sdl and places it in the right dir. So, I do it manually.)

Since this script seems to update netradiant too, where should I move my already installed netradiant? (Or how should I change the script accordingly?)

for some days now the script fails to build an executable.

build.bat (windows obviously) downloads and works as known before until drop out with following error information:

Building Nexuiz...

An error has occurred (see above).

To fix this error I've reverted the file nexuiz/data/Makefile to the 2nd previous version (it has been changed 2 times, even in the previous version u get the same error).

Manually u have to replace

Code: Select all

   [ "$(NEX_BUILDSYSTEM)" = "" ] || [ "$(NEX_BUILDSYSTEM)" = "1" ]
   [ "$(NEX_BUILDSYSTEM)" != "" ] || { ! [ -f ../misc/netradiant-NexuizPack/nexuiz.game/data/entities.def ] || diff ../misc/netradiant-NexuizPack/nexuiz.game/data/entities.def scripts/entities.def || { echo entities.def mismatch, please merge ../misc/netradiant-NexuizPack/nexuiz.game/data/entities.def and scripts/entities.def; exit 1; } }
   [ "$(NEX_BUILDSYSTEM)" != "" ] || { DO_NOT_RUN_MAKE=1 sh update-cvarcount.sh; }


with

Code: Select all

   DO_NOT_RUN_MAKE=1 sh update-cvarcount.sh;

However this is a temporary fix

Yes.

Instead, you should redownload the build system. It contains a fix for this issue.

thank you, i redownloaded the whole package from http://emptyset.endoftheinternet.org/~rpolzer/nexuiz/builds/Nexuiz%20SVN%20Build%20System.zip , - started it, waited looong and finally was presented with following error :
