It looks awesome! I'll play it as soon as the Arch Linux package is updated (based on 0.8, Saturday)!

Congrats Team! \o/

Cool, downloading! :3

EDIT: Nice update to the scroll and the UI looks much better, it's all about the details!

Wasnt there the intention not to add old stuff from nexuiz?

Why does final rage has such a low level of detail?

Why not add something new? Like http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php?tid=4353

I don't think final rage has a low level of detail. Some things could always be added, but there's nothing wrong with it. It has a solid layout and has proven to be VERY popular in duels. Also, it isn't an either/or thing. We didn't exclude some map because we chose to include FR! We like maps (and mappers)

As for your map - if you'd like us to consider adding it, I do believe we need to have the sources. There's also apparently licensing concerns. Last but not least, we'd want the author to actually want it to be included.

Looking forward to playing around with this, version 0.8.0 was giving me issues.

For those wondering: The getdeb package doesn't support the update process listed in the first post. I've prodded them to update the package to 0.8.1.

Hype!!! Nice to see Warfare in this release! Thank you very much!

But I wonder how the map managed to get a fixed skybox + lighting? The autobuild server always failed at this when I tried. Are there any fixes I missed?

EDIT:
Ah well, no. After downloading 0.8.1 I realised that it is not fixed. Sunlighting is still missing, fog is not there either plus the water reflections are disabled on this map... Doh. Needs fixing... argh! See this post: http://forums.xonotic.org/showthread.php...9#pid73479

To the dev team and contributors: Excellent release, thank you. Somehow the performance with xonotic-sdl increased significantly on Linux w/ Intel drivers, that's great!

mapsource is included in version 4. the models are mainly from the game the game the authers of the models which are not from the game are from monad and qbit, so licensing shouldnt be a big problem.

As an addendum, Luma is not only the menu theme,
but also includes a new HUD theme and simple items



You can use the simple items with

Code:

cl_simple_items 1
cl_simpleitems_postfix "_luma"

Nice one! Was gonna ask about those sev. They look awesome

Simple items still not visible on r_showsurfaces 3

Any chance you could make the simple item sprites ignore the command?

edit: How's the item timers? Do you see timers for any items picked or just the ones you picked? Also are they votable and possible to turn off in tournaments, or pickup servers?

The itemtimer shows Megas and powerups. In the future also 50s (already in hit). Currently it just displays only one item of there are two same items on the map (50 armors on Fuse for example).

It is shown in warmup and for spectators (as the player wishes) but not to players in the match.

All in all pretty much like shown in QL streams and not like Reflex.

I can't get the new simple items, I get the old ones when I enable them through UI and cl_simpleitems.

I can't get the new simple items, I get the old ones when I enable them through UI and cl_simpleitems.

Make sure you set the correct postfix:

Code:

cl_simpleitems_postfix "_luma"

The change should take effect after the next mapload or restart.

FYI: The Getdeb packages for Xonotic appear to have been built for 0.8.1.
