100% agree

good job, I'm afk for 3 days, and when I come back, there is 2.5.1!

i just cant unrar this on vista and linux mint repositories are stucked in version 4.2

Well its a zip file Fun aside.. maybe your download was corrupt or was interupted..

What about the Ubuntu repository? In Ubuntu 9.04 its still only the 2.4.2 downloadable Since 90% of the new players come to Nexuiz through Ubuntu its quite a serious issue.

But one that you simply can't solve. Nearly all distros have the policy that within a stable release they only do bug & security fix updates, never a new major release.

Since you know Nexuiz already: deinstall the Ubuntu-version, download the official Nexuiz release via Sourceforge or Bittorrent and install that.

Heh, the problem is not for me ( i dont even have Ubuntu installed currently) but for all the new guys come to Nexuiz and they dont know that there is new release, they assume that the package in Synaptic is the freshest one. Its really unlucky that a casual player who doesnt know too much about Linux and Nexuiz (thats why he is trying to install everything through Synaptic) can only experience the earlier version

If a distro keeps providing an older version, that's nothing to do with Alientrap. Distros have their policies on packaging and if you don't like a distro having old packages, change distro. There's plenty of them. More productively if your distro does not have the latest packages, why not volunteer yourself as a package maintainer?

Anyone playing online with an older version will see messages at various points about later versions being out so there's no way we can do more. Alientrap does not package the game for the distros.

I got fed up with the 6 monthly release model which leaves you with obsolete software 90% of the time so I switched to Gentoo but am in the process of moving different systems to Arch now. Much better.

I feel dumb. I downloaded the "patch" ... do I just copy-paste the contents into the existing Nexuiz folder on my computer? It seems to be snagging on a file called "Current:" and stopping when I do copy-paste it.

Oh well I'mma back up my config and just download the full. No harm done.

Moxie: What system are you on? How about a screenshot? Sounds very strange. Maybe the copy dialog just want to ask if its ok to overwrite some file (which is needed for example for engine files, docs and suchs..) Only the 'content' patch is simply a new file.

Anyone on Ubuntu who wants to upgrade should visit www.getdeb.net
2.5 is available there, along with many other useful treats......

I thought everything was great except the new Machine Gun sound. Very lame.

Yeah, I liked the sound before more.

It grows on you.

Is the old file replaced or still in there? I mean, it is for me, since i patched it, but in later releases...

EDIT: I do like it now, it's just...
1.) Too slow
2.) Not synced

morfar wrote:Yeah, I liked the sound before more.

Oh, it's quite nice. But it's not a machine gun.

unzipped the patch and pasted into my nexuiz directory and it broke the game...downloading the full version now..gonna have to edit the campaign file to get back to where im supposed to be..

What exactly is broken?

The main menu wouldnt load, just that square with the message about the missing files. i downloaded the main zip file and replaced everything. it didnt ruin my campaign like i thought...everything is alright now..but yeah, just the menu didnt load at all. that was the SDL bundle (OS X)..the main Nexuiz.app bundle loaded the menu but all colors were gone and everything was hideous.

Did you still have data/data2009...pk3?

A known issue is that Finder seems to like to delete the data directory when patching. Probably the issue you had.

The only two "problems" I found with the game were the machine gun sound change (it sounds good, but the last one was better) and the switch in music on the race track (last version had dn-refueled playing) to subcities. Everything else was an improvement.

Good job!

New music is awesome.

I like the new loading screen.

YAY

dn-refueled was removed due to its author violating copyright of another well-known first person shooter. It won't come back.

That sucks.

That's how most artists are. They don't care for that legal stuff.

It's also why it is so hard to find people who make content for a GPL game. All content has to be legally safe for that...

If it's not a secret, which shooter is this. I rather liked refueled.

I don't know the legality of it, but using google I found this:

It will play on any media/music player that will read xm.

I completely agree that the Nex from 1.0 would be a great model for the minsta nex.

Audio channels is now stuck on Stereo. Version 2.5 did not have this problem.

As you can see:



This is a clean install on Vista SP1 32bit.
