Ask your questions about Xonotic here

The code is there, you need to edit the makefile to compile code support for it, and exec a special config too. tZork said it works very well, but there are still some problems in moving on odd surfaces, that's why it's not enabled by default.

Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to enable them and et cetera?

* FruitieX summons tZork

* Halogene appears looking around dizzily

Uhm what am I doing in this thread? I was in a totally different thread just a second ago.

... seems you need some more practice with that summoning. Ahaahaaaa)))

erm, well. Since I am now on this thread I might as well say something useful. How about IF there's going to be a step by step guide - then put it into the wiki?

no guide atm. the goal is to make it just work. until then its officially unsupported, winch means i may or may not help you to get it to work, if you ask me nicely

* Ragnaros apears out of nowhere

WHO DARES TO SUMMON THE FIRE LORD?! INSECTS!!!

* CuBe0wL steps out from a portal, and bitchslaps Ragnaros

GTFO n00b! Wrong forum!

* Ragnaros mumbles and goes away...

So, anyway, here's how ya do it, right from tZe Man:

Code:

<tZork> [10:12:09-15:17] <@tZork> is fteqcc in your path?
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:17] <siremeth> yes
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:17] <@tZork> then cd to xonotic/data/xonotic-data.pk3dir/qcsrc/server
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:18] <@tZork> and do a fteqcc -DVEHILES_ENABLED
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:18] <@tZork> should be nuff iirc
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:15] <@tZork> siremeth: compile with server QC with -DVEHICLES_ENABLED, exec each vehicle_*.cfg in the console, load a map with vehicles on
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:26] <@tZork> sv_saveentfile or sth like that
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:26] <@tZork> with a map loaded
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:26] <@tZork> outputs ~./xonotic/data/maps/mapname.ent
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:27] <@tZork> wich is a "list" of all map enteties
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:27] * vede (~joshua@wsip-174-79-148-173.tu.ok.cox.net) has joined #xonotic
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:27] <@tZork> find soemthing you know here it is, change its "classnam" key to vehicle_spiderbot, vehicle_racer or vehile_raptor
<tZork> [10:12:09-15:27] <@tZork> save that file, reload teh map

or that

note that your preddy much on your own with this at the moment, if you use it and have fun - great. but as i said above its not yet supported (and definitely dont bug the other devs if this blows up! if you have to poke someone is shall be me)

ill need to drift still , ty

lol , d1 drift xonotic mod!

(google d1 drifting if ya dont know what im on about)

Lol. Cars in Xonotic. Pimp my Xon!

I mean: one team is racing on the track, the other two teams are having TDM fight on the road also trying to blow up cars passing by, and the cars are trying to smash those fighters... massive fun.

if someone manages to make it run, it would be so kind to make available a lil vid of it

sooner or later it will happen, but now the focus is on other things

I recently hosted my first LAN server (meaning with other people). Problem is, we want to be on the same team (playing TDM), and when I add bots, our team gets the advantage. How do I force the bots to move around? From console?
Say for example we want to play 4v4 and there's three of us that want to be on the same team. That would be 5 bots, but when I add them they distribute "evenly" and then when us humans join one team, our side has more players.

One other thing, I'm running from from 0.1 preview, and if I use any maps that aren't included by default, it appears black on the other computers. Do I have to install that specific map on all the computers, or is there a way to get it to download from mine (the host)?

Thx for any help

1. Look at the bot_vs_human cvar. It makes a human team and a bot team with the specified ration of bots:humans. If you want 1 bot for every human, do:

Code:

bot_vs_human 1

2. As you're running a LAN, it'll probably be way easier to get a flash drive and copy the maps to all the computers than to set up a server to download the maps from. If you don't have the ingame download setup, you need to install the maps on all the computers.

Thanks BurningPi, that's just what I needed!

I started an XPM CTS server in Amazon EC2. However I can't get it right. I have two problems:
1. I can't get everyone invincible to weapons.
2. The player can't pass the start line in many maps. It seems like there is an invisible wall at the start line.

Anyone can help me with server configuration. Thank you very much!
Here is my server.cfg config:

2. The player can't pass the start line in many maps. It seems like there is an invisible wall at the start line.

What I know about wall at the start it is something like no compatible map, I call that a broken map. I experienced that on all cts servers. I think someone here, can fix this problem, ask It'sme. May be I am wrong but I am pretty sure you do not have to change anything in your server's config file.

No, it happen on the maps that does not suppose to have this problem. There must be some way.

Hey,

Code:

g_cts_selfdamage 0 // disable all selfdamage and falldamage in cts
g_playerclip_collisions 0 // disable collision testing against playerclips

exec defaultXPM.cfg already executes physicsXPM.cfg. So you do not need to write the line exec physicsXPM.cfg in your server.cfg.

Btw... on which map happens the invisible wall problem, where it should not?

Thank you very much for your tips. I have tried and it is working well. The test map is pronstar-kaine which shouldn't have this problem. Now it is solved. Thank you!

Hello, I wonder if there are any good software for recording some gameplay
for Linux. It is not necessary but it would be nice if it could record in HD.
I have sad it before, but again Xonotic still kick ass >D !

It's always best to use builtin capture if that's available. For Xonotic, there's all the cl_capturevideo* cvars to configure that.
For the rest, I have no idea. Your hardware has to be fast enough for live capture (unlike Xonotic capturing, where you can max the settings and it only makes the video rendering slower if you're recording a demo). And sound syncing can be a problem too AFAIK.

Ok, thanks
