Yeah! Cool! Great! Finally a update, i was a little bit concerned that warsow would overcome you with new feauters, but this 2.4 is from what i have seen just awesome! Major update. Though i should test the performance optimization as 2.3 was laggy on my e6550 and 8800GT on max settings.
What you realy stand in front of other projects is BlooD:D

Fantastic! Amazing! I love this game and the new version looks and plays than ever!!!

There is also a torrent for Nexuiz 2.4. Click here 2 download it.

The demo browser has gone, hasn't it?

Iirc it was an issue to implement it into hte new menue, or am I just to blind to find it?

nexuiz 2.4 is MUCH faster here, i can nearly play with everything on max. perhaps it's simply the ati opengl driver that has a problem. Did you try the sdl and th glx version (there should be two different exe files)? (don't know if it makes any difference)

I tried the sdl version because the main one kept on crashing when trying to load the game, when I'm playing and looking at the wall the game runs normally but when I look at the action it's running slow and getting stuck.

You have to admit that your rig is a little weak. I don't think you can run any Nexuiz release from 1.5 up with settings from the menue. However, it should be possible to tweak it by generating some settings to be found here for example:

good luck

The crash is known, http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=2824 should fix it. Try extracting that over your Nexuiz install, and post if that worked.

Please note that this hotfix is preliminary - it may change without notice. Do not put that on download sites.

*edit - esteel* exchanged hotfix link with forum topic

hmm new mgun anims i did aren't included even if i told how to remove the arms
what a waste of my time doing stuff that don't get contributed (like sparks and cool trails)
and ugh the particle muzzleflash is official


you're on your own for the md3ing and splitting and LOD meshes
bye

Actually I'm able to play most of the new games, even Call of Duty 2 runs smoothly.

Oh and the hotfix is working as a charm , thanks

Dave wrote:* bestweapon support for Nexuiz; add cycleweapon command

I'd missed this. Perhaps this deserves a thread on how to set up?

Ed wrote:I'd missed this. Perhaps [bestweapon and cycleweapon] deserves a thread on how to set up?

Bestweapon chooses the best weapon out of a list that you supply. Cycleweapon is basically the same, but will move down the list each time it is run, so you start with favorite, then next favorite, etc. Here's an example for choosing best long range weapon:

Code: Select all

// Nexuiz impulse numbers: 9=rocket, 8=hagar, 7=nex, 6=crylink, 5=electro, 4=mortar, 3=machinegun, 2=shotgun, 1=laser
// far - sorted by speed then minimum spread then damage per sec
bind b "bestweapon 7 3 1 8 6 4 5 9 2"
bind c "cycleweapon 7 3 1 8 6 4 5 9 2"


So if you press b you'll switch to the nex if you have it and have ammo for it or mg or laser, etc. If you press c you'll switch to the nex, unless you already have the nex and then you'd switch to the next in the list, the mg, etc. If this isn't cleat, just try it and it will make sense. Note that this only works on 2.4 servers. I think there are still some 2.3 servers out there.

Yes its gone for now but you can use the console: 'playdemo' and tabcompletion which is working since 2.4 for such stuff too..

"Beginning of assault and onslaught" modes.

Any idea when there are going to be finished?

Could someone explain the newly introduced 5 second suicide delay to me? Is it for CTF or something, to prevent people from suiciding back to base really quickly ? But more importantly is there a way to get rid of it? Cvar?

Well as soon as there will be maps for them The code should be ready.. except well without maps (there was only one or two concept maps) its not tested very well so expect some bugs

Mostly CTF.. that way it was too easy to get an other 'good' spawn..
set g_balance_kill_delay 5
server admins can change it.. though well there is a certain 'Nexuiz experiance' which will then be changed

Thanks, esteel for answering my question before i even got to the end of the changelog Which, admittedly, is pretty long.

I think instant suicides have a place in normal Deathmatch play but because this cvar is on by default in 2.4 I guess I will just have to live with it on most servers :/ I would not want to say "another example of Nexuiz becoming more and more CTF oriented"... but... well.

As a side note, maybe with the 5 second delay you should have the option of not going through with it after all during those 5 seconds ? To cancel the suicide ?

Good work to all who contributed, 2.4 is a great improvement! The new menus and weapons pwn.


However, as a Brit, I am programmed to complain.
IMHO, The new menu would be ubar-l33t if it had a grungy, rusty industrial theme instead of the current Web 2.0 theme.

Make your own skin.

Or maybe you like some of the other available skins..

http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?p=32752#32752

these skins are in 2.4: default, silver, simplegray and xaw
plastic was a bit too late to be included but you can download in the thread..

I don't suppose there's a nextcycleweapon and prevcycleweapon, to allow one to use the scroll wheel with a limited set of items? Limit that to about 3 or 4 weapons (even better, best-weapon groups!), and have 6th/7th/8th mouse buttons scroll through the rest? I guess it's possible to do it by redefining aliases, but it would be nice if it was an easily configurable option.

No, there isn't.

But you can make aliases to make another weapon cycle, e.g.:

Code: Select all

bind MWHEELUP "cycleweapon 7 3 1 8 6 4 5 9 2"
bind MWHEELDOWN "cycleweapon 2 9 5 4 6 8 1 3 7"

So the other bind is simply in reverse order.

I've found a fault with a link on the news page the space is linked...
http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/news.php

on the front page part.

not sure what you mean with the space is linked?

ok, where it says:

You can download the newest release on our download page. To see the changes in action check out our new video on the front page.

Go to the actual address (http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/news.php) and look at the 'front page' part of the text. You should notice that there is a space that is underlined (linked).

It's nothing major...

Ahh now i see it.. will tell those with power to change it

Congrats on the new release!!

There was such a long time between 2.3 and 2.4 I thought development had ceased! (Luckily I visit the Nexuiz homepage semi-regularly to check for updates).

Since the performance has picked up, hopefully the new Asus EEE 900 (the newer eeePC that will be out in April/May 2008) will be able to play it smoothly.

I'll make sure http://www.headshotgamer.com/ does a review of 2.4 quick smart.

Congratulations on the new release!!!

welcome to the forums CocaCola. I think I know you from former times, nah?

Btw 2.4 is old since 2.4.2 was released
