Xonotic 0.6 is now available!

CONGRATS!!! Good job, well done, great work, etc.

YES YES!!!!!1

I'm very happy to see that the Xonotic development is continuing in a good direction. It's so great that CSQC-networked-players has finally made it, and that additional, high quality maps are available. Does the new networked-player feature mean better local movement prediction now becomes possible (but probably is not in 0.6 yet)? In any case, I'll give it a shot some time (since I live in a different location where Internet at evening times is really bad, I'm curious to see how Xonotic performs now )

BTW: I was unable to understand the sandbox mode from the textual description. It seems to be similar to what was possible (using sv_cheats 1) earlier in Nexuiz, where you cloned your own player model.

Sandbox provides more control, you can move stuff around and change object properties. Have a look at this preview: http://youtu.be/2KFYPQRLLys (it has probably changed since then).

Awesome! Even though I have a little free time nowadays, I still find some time to play Xonotic. Excellent work everyone.

Thank you guys

You nailed it, but not exactly, as the movement compensation is already there in 0.6
(You can find it in the Misc tab of Settings window)

Release notes txt says:

* Client side movement prediction and error compensation with in conjunction with data sent from the server.

I noticed a MAJOR improvement in the networking. I don't even think Quake Live had networking as good the last time I messed with it.

Awesome. In this case I'll definitely give it a try (but I guess I'll wait a bit until more servers have migrated and admins enable client-side forced skins )

Simple math:

Xonotic = awesomeness
newer version = more awesomeness.

Is this a joke? What did you do to the settings? Yuck, the lighting's bright!

Can you elaborate? Is there a problem that you can't fix by tweaking your configuration? The lighting is brighter because it was too dark. If you don't like it, the developers have given you the privilege to change brightness, gamma... Isn't that absolutely amazing?

They simplified the settings, why? I hate simplified things.

Again, care to elaborate? Do you have any specific examples? The menu was reorganized, to be made less confusing. I don't think settings got removed.

Besides, have you seen the advanced settings dialog? That's not simplified in any way.

HE again?

Think I mistook him for a certain troll. Mirio saying: "HE again?" set off some warning bells.

Thank you for another great refresh!!

I love the new shading of Xonotic, just had to put that out there, even though it was probably said a hundred times already. Just had to.
