  • Nexiuz should think about getting Xfire to support this great game.

    Are the companies compatable?

    And does anyone agree?

  • Unfortunately there's nothing we can do to add official Nexuiz support to Xfire, since it's closed source...
    There are already quite a few requests to add Nexuiz support in the Xfire forums, but I haven't seen any official response to those requests.

  • I'll just copy/paste a email response from Richard Stallman after reporting a bug in the windows version of emacs:

    If you replace Windows with GNU/Linux, things like this probably won't
    happen. In addition, your software will respect your freedom (Windows
    does not).

    And to add: With GNU/Linux you can use XQF, a very good server browser with support of nexuiz :)

    I'm not really familiar with Xfire, but iirc it's not a server browser, it's something like an instant messenger where you can see if/what your friends are currently playing.
    Unfortunately i don't know any open source app that can do that... Perhaps we should make an alternative ontop the jabber protocoll :P

    I'm not too familiar either with XFire but it seems to me that its a server browser with some buildin chat features. You can use XQF to search for players (buddies *ARGH* :)) too so the only missing thing is the chat feature and being closed source ;)
