Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS (Terminal-Overload) - poVoq - 08-06-2014
http://www.terminal-overload.org/
Released their first alpha a few days ago, and you might know its (non-FOSS) predecessor Revenge of the Cats:Ethernet.
Runs on Linux and Windows. Contributers very welcome.
It's already a quite playable team-based multiplayer game. You have to capture zones and it is a bit Tribes like.

Does it have Instagib?
RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS - poVoq - 08-06-2014
Luckily no, but cool disk weapons like in tron :p
Here is a vid with some gameplay (actually from RotC:Ethernet but it is more or less the same):

And an explanation of gameplay:

Edit: The home-page linked in the OP has a video of the actual 0.1 FOSS version.

I watched the gameplay video. Literally no idea what the hell is happening!!
Looks interesting though so I will probably take a look

It's a totally open development model, but so far it is mainly fr1tz working on it (the original creator), but I helped set up a forum: http://forum.freegamedev.net/viewforum.php?f=87 (I'm Julius other there) and was instrumental at convincing him to run the original successful indiegogo campaign. Now that the first alpha is out, I have also started looking at contributing some models and other art assets.

you should probably take a look at the original RotC to get an idea

Well I tried it but was just some fireball flying around.
RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS - poVoq - 08-07-2014
Fly into the area controlled by your team (same color as your etherform = "fireball") and press the left mouse button to switch to normal FPS mode.
I guess a small getting started tutorial would be good
RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS - cvcxc - 08-12-2014
Is this still there? I can't access terminal-overload.org and it seems like the forum doesn't exists on my side: ethernet.wasted.ch doesn't work either
RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS - poVoq - 08-12-2014
The freegamedev.net forums are shortly offline since our "founder" forgot to renew the domain... terminal-overload.org works over here though. Forums should be also back up within a few days at most.
Edit: all should work again now.

Test game today! Countdown here: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20140815T19&p0=270&msg=TOL+Play+Session
There is also an online server browser that alerts you if someone is playing:

Shit I was suppose to set up a public server, my bad. I'll see if I remember to this week end although the game is not build to run with out a graphical environment. I tested out Xvfb but even though it say its installed when I try to run a test session the os just tell me the Xvfb is not installed. Weird...
RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS - unfa - 08-18-2014
The website and dev forum works on my side (location: Poland).
It looks like possible to play on my GPU, and might be good fun, gonna try it, thanks!
RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS - poVoq - 08-19-2014
fr1tz is also looking for a composer to aid with a dynamic music system, maybe you are interested?

Are you trying to recruit people from the xonotic team??
Tell fr1tz we're looking for engine devs.

poVoq: sounds appealing! I've done some experiments with dynamic music and that's something I'd like to investigate further.

Yep, slave trade like footballers.

RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS (Terminal-Overload) - poVoq - 09-05-2014
New testing release with additional maps and other features is available, and there is a developer's match tonight.
RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS (Terminal-Overload) - poVoq - 10-22-2014
New website and recent new release (0.3.1). Join a play-session in about an hour
Now supports charged jumps as a cool new game-play mechanic.

I have some problems in Linux with it like changing the weapons. Apparently is not implemented very well vs windows plus I can't connect in windows anymore. Say my client doesn't match server version or server art etc...
My server is still running.
RE: Cool new FOSS multiplayer FPS (Terminal-Overload) - poVoq - 10-23-2014
Yes input is a bit flaky under Linux, I think fr1tz just merged from upstream Torque3D, so hopefully this will get a bit better in the next version. If someone is experienced with SDL2 under Linux help is also appreciated, see: https://github.com/fr1tz/terminal-overload/issues/24
Otherwise, make sure your windows version really is 0.3.1 as 0.3 still uses the old master-server. If that isn't the issue, please report the bug here: https://github.com/fr1tz/terminal-overload/issues
