Here comes the first patch for 2.5! We call it 2.5.1.

The important changes are:
• Memory leak fixed (important for dedicated servers)
• Muzzle flash bug fixed
• Six new music tracks by blkrbt
• Better loading screen. That fixed "this app does not respond" error on Vista.
• Better sounds by tenshihan
• Fixed choppy mouse movement with a custom 'cl_maxfps' value
• A few map fixes by terencehill
• Waypoint cache: Makes bots load much faster (the cache is created from normal waypoints when loading a map with bots for the first time)

Plus minor fixes found on our SourceForge Bug tracker.
Thanks for all the bug reports. Keep them coming.
Longer changelog here.

We plan to release patches more frequent in the future. Maybe even once a month.

Thanks for the patch, i am applying it right now

Please for future patches: Give us the old Minsta-Nexgun back. New one is UGLY!!!

Nice work guys, just committed this to the gentoo portage tree, so 2.5.1 should now be available in ~arch. Also updated my servers to this version and everything seems fine.

Life is good.

@morfar: Could you put sizes for the downloads into your post so everyone knows that they really should download the patch?

The old one is actually the new one and the new one is actually the old one. That model was previously used for the Nex gun.

Yeah. But it's still kinda ugly

MinstaNex and Nex shouldn't have the same model, as you are able to own both at once. This is why an older Nex model had been "revived" for it.

Modellers, feel free to make a new MinstaNex model.

I've said thousand times now: the very very old Nex model was the best. Imho.

I am only playing Minstagib and there is only 1 Nexgun possible at once.
All of the Minsta-gamers dislike the new/old minsta gun.

Read the topics about 2.5 in pur forum and u see the comments about the actual minsta-nex
http://prophets.aforumfree.com/discussion-f9/

It looks like a plastic-laser for kids

Still Growl. As Div0 said, both can be equipped at the same time, so different models has to be used. One cannot just switch the Nex model for minstagib unless the servers do it manually.
But rest assured that a new Nex model is being planned so just be patient till it's finished.

The patch (NOT the release zip) has a somewhat serous bug: background music is missing on many maps.

If you are on Linux or OS X, you can fix the pk3 by this command in a terminal:

zip -d data/data20090501patch.pk3 sound/cdtracks/thru-the-mirror.ogg sound/cdtracks/subcities.ogg sound/cdtracks/neuronal-diving.ogg sound/cdtracks/infight.ogg sound/cdtracks/digital-pursuit.ogg sound/cdtracks/chaos-fog.ogg sound/cdtracks/calling-bogus.ogg sound/cdtracks/breakdown-easy.ogg sound/cdtracks/brainsukker.ogg.

On Windows, it may be possible to do the same, but I don't know if and how these items appear in Explorer. Someone please test that and post a guide. Maybe an app like 7zip is needed to fix it, in case Explorer does not show these items.

The patch download has been replaced on sourceforge, but it may take a while for the fix to appear on the mirrors. It already is on switch: http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/nexuiz ... ch-251.zip

The broken file has checksum 6fab150d46c6fe08f2495ec759fc9e69 and is 58971718 bytes.
The fixed file has checksum 8c3625a1ed2b1f26a1f9943eeb19be0f and 60495857 bytes.

No other changes have been done.

When the 2.4 nexgun was introduced, there was many haters, particularly from the minsta community, "please bring back my old gun model". And now 1 year later, the same comments again, but this time "please bring back the 2.4 model, v2.3 is like a toy".
Now how to consider this request ? whatever is done there is always someone to complain.

Well, the difference is, the old model was displayed smaller in old version than it is in 2.5. The current Nexgun model looks more petite and thus suits better to the current version.

Old model + current version = ugly, no question

i am minsta player too we want back old nex gun !!!

Further proof that most players don't understand the whole two separate guns thing. And also that most people don't understand that the 'old' one is actually the new one. There have been 3 Nex models:

1.x Nex
2.0-2.3 Nex
2.4+ Nex
