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


what to do? libc is newest version...

compile the server yourself. Should work like this:

Code: Select all

cd /home/your/nex/dir
cd sources
unzip enginesource20091001.zip
cd darkplaces
make sv-nexuiz
cp ../../ nexuiz-dedicated

thx this works!

big thanks to all of you for making the great game that is nexuiz
I find that the sg is so much better now, i use it all the time :D
at first i was fearing that the mg would be very overpowered but after trying i find it very good like it is.

thanks again,
liolak

eheh, try it more man with the 2.5.2 settings nexuiz has a new BFG with almost unlimited ammo, and its called machinegun. Luckily the changes divverent made solve this problem quite well: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=5489

i have a question. when is the new model for the lava gun going to be implemented? it just seems unfinished right now.

other than that, looks great

Are shotgun and MG hitscan weapons with anti-lag like the nex now?

Haven't tried yet, but would be really nice to be able to use those weapons again (with a ping of 80)

Yes, and the antilag is very improved over previous versions. Infact, shotgun and MG are said to be so strong atm that they need to be nerfed a little. (Due to the fact that the antilag is so much better than when they were balanced before.)

/me raises hand

what is antilag, and how does it effect the performance of weapons?

I'm not sure how antilag works in Nexuiz, but it usually works like this:

A player points a nex at another player and presses the fire button.

The shooter's client sends a packet to the server which contains an instruction to fire the weapon. However, the packet requires time to reach the server; and during that time, the player being shot at could have moved out of the way, making the shot miss when the packet arrives, when it would have hit if there was less lag.

Antilag remembers players' positions for a short time even after they move, and uses a mathematical formula to predict the time when the "fire weapon" packet was sent. The server compares the predicted time that the packet was sent with the times and player positions it recorded previously to determine if the nex shot hit.

If the shooter's crosshair was on the victim at the time the "fire" packet was sent, then the victim should be shot even if the victim moved out of the shot's path before the packet was received.

Antilag is not perfect, but it has really improved for Nexuiz 2.5.2.

I've tested 2.5.2 and i really like the new anti-lag, especially as it is enabled for the shotgun and the MG, as well as the new steering feature and rocket speed of the RL. The shotgun and MG seem to be a bit too heavy though (I'd suggest just to decrease the dmg).

Thx, very nice release

Hi.
Is there any way to download binaries and media content separately?
I've downoladed the linux version for my notebook, and want to install it on my windows machine without downloading full archive again.

Actually if you downloaded the full archive from the website you can use the same archive for windows and for linux. If you look into the folder you'll notice that there are also .exe files.

Or did you download the svn version?

Actually, I think the new Rocket Launcher is a backward step. It totally messes up the timing of the weapon, and it has become pretty much unusable in normal game play. Splash damage radius seems to have shrunk as well.

I've learned to play with the mortar instead.

any chance to donwload nexuiz 2.5.2 with torrent? :)
