Damn Small Nexuiz Server Version alpha3!

Release: http://www.hrfdesign.com/crap/dsn/dsn_server_alpha3.zip (30 mb, includes linux binaries)
Build script (aka sources): http://www.hrfdesign.com/crap/dsn/dsn_server_script.sh (< 1kb)

It is (or is supposed to be ) fully compatible with 2.5.2. It only removes unneccessary files for servers like textures, sounds etc. check out the script for more info. Do note that it does not contain tutorial, the turret test maps, ons-reborn, nr_piece-o-cake, cyberparcour01 or racetrack (the script can easily be adapted to include those, however).

Hi, sadly this release doesn't seem to run on my server:

Code: Select all

./nexuiz-linux-686-dedicated: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./nexuiz-linux-686-dedicated)

Is this expected behaviour? 2.5.1 ran fine..

EDIT: Fixed it with a recompile of the server binary.. Here's a gameplay video from a nice warmup massacre we had after getting it to work

*added torrent*

You have saved my day

Thanks for all the work that has been put into this.

I just tested it and holy cow, the new antilag is incredibly accurate, actually its almost perfect! I hope hitscan weapons wont be overpowered, right now im afraid mg&nex combo will dominate everywhere again (i loved it anyway )
keep up the good work and thanks for the best antilag i ever experienced

Thank you for all the new features guys! This is the BEST FPS game ever created!

Awesome release, I especially love the electro's new secondary fire effect. Ran into two things on Stormkeep I disliked though: The floor texture on stormkeep isn't as cool looking as the old one and there's a HUGE (20 frames drop WITHOUT any character models on the map) over by the electro and super health. Other than those two gripes this release is easily the best one.

/ nice one

The MG and shotty are way more powerfull now! Maybe a bit too powerfull
Very nice release tho.

Thanks

yay, this is exciting

The water cannot be displayed. It is a serious bug.

Yay, thank you!

I guess that of course my map could still be to blame.. Worked fine with SVN builds though...

here is a water screenie bug / problem

Yes, the new darkplace in SVN fixes this problem.
