Xonotic BitTorrent Download - IDWMaster - 07-14-2010

Hi. I've created a BitTorrent download for Xonotic. I have already compiled the Windows build for it. I have included the full source files and everything that came with it. For people who want a faster download; BitTorrent is the way to go. Just cd into the Xonotic directory and run ./all run from msys.
Instructions are included in the download.
EDIT: I took down the Torrent because no one is downloading from it, causing its efficiency to be less than the actual Git repository. If you would like to download Xonotic; please use the automated build system (for Windows); or just use the straightforward git command for Linux, and run ./all update to download and ./all compile when done. My batch files will still work for Windows; after you have build using MSys or the automated build system.
Here are the promised Batch files (use after download has completed, no MSys required; you can use Tortoise SVN to update the download from the Git repo to the latest version). Place them in your Xonotic/xonotic folder. These batch files will be used to start the game on Windows (not needed for Linux; because it is SO easy to compile the game on Linux)
Click here for batch files!

Of course it is legal, it's GPL'd code.

If I understand you correctly, this is basically the xonotic git repo?

Yes it is. I will edit my post now and provide the link.

Uh, what's the point, the build is already outdated :X

Windows users should use the automated build system at http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=712 or be a little patient while I work out a persistent non-portable solution Smile

Mod Edit: http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=666 thats the actual link to the build system Tongue


RE: Xonotic BitTorrent - IDWMaster - 07-14-2010

The point is for the user to get a snapshot of the SVN quickly, and if it's already outdated they can easily and quickly update to the latest version; without having to download the whole thing from the GIT repository (which seemed a bit slow).

You just linked to this exact same topic. Angel

Ehm, this torrent is even slower. Tongue

Also, it's not SVN, it's GIT.

Whoops; I always get SVN, BZR, and GIT confused!

If we are going to be pedants, it is not GIT, it is Git Tongue

Fixed MrBougo's post with the correct link.


RE: Xonotic BitTorrent Download - Rage_ATWM - 07-15-2010

hm... just a naive question: wouldn't it be possible to only get the .exe and dll's, so as to have a first overview of the game, without having to run some batchs and stuff?
I would understand the "naw, it's still in dev!!" argument. Tongue


RE: Xonotic BitTorrent Download - Mr. Bougo - 07-15-2010

You can't have a simple overview of the game: it's not done yet, there's no finished map included, and the servers are empty.
If you want to test xonotic, you must be willing and ready to manipulate some files.


RE: Xonotic BitTorrent Download - Ang - 07-16-2010

There should be a nightly build system!
