Baker — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 17:13:03 +0000

If you want to try something out of this world crazy ... try Shambler Invaders. Has the most complicated Q3 map of all-time.

Assembled from Xonotic, and Creative Common works (mostly CC0 ones) from Sketchfab, OpenGameArt, AmbientCG, TextureCan and others.

Download link: Shambler Invaders link

If you have need to compile the engine itself (a modified DarkPlaces), the engine source is here (engine download).

Full open source, of course!

How Can I Download This Game on My Mobile Device?

beifengjax — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 07:51:33 +0000

Hey everyone!
I just found out about this game, and it looks amazing! I really want to try it, but I’m not sure about the best way to download it on my phone. Can anyone guide me through the process?
I’m using an Android device, so I’d love to know if it’s available on the Play Store or if I need to get the APK from another source. Also, if there are any extra steps like enabling unknown sources, I’d appreciate the details.
If you already have it, how’s the performance? Any tips before installing?
I found a link where you can see now how to get it, but I’d still love to hear your experiences!
Thanks in advance!

AmbientCG Tutorial .map With Source

Baker — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 00:41:52 +0000

This example .map shows how to use textures from AmbientCG and TextureCan along with r_glsl_deluxemapping 1 to get lighting like seen below.

No use of .shader is required.

The included readme explains how to rename the textures like:

Map Download link: https://www.moddb.com/mods/zircon-engine...e-tutorial (this a Quake 1 map in q3 map format but if put in xonotic/data folder works for Xonotic too).

In Xonotic or DarkPlace you might need to type: mod_q3shader_default_polygonoffset -48; vid_restart in the console if you get a flickering decal.

In Xonotic looks like:

You may wish to type r_ambient 0 in the console for this lighting.

yogibeard — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 02:19:49 +0000

I've heard of a user named "MikeeUSA" that was hated and banned several times, he even used alt accounts to avoid bans, but what did he do to get so much hate? where is he now?

is xonotic dead?

yogibeard — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 21:39:33 +0000

i recently discovered this game like 2 or 3 days ago, and its just so sad to see the forums barely active, what happened? were there no updates?
did some controversy occur with the dev?

i'd like to know why this game has little to no people on it

Fangorn Forest Beach - Q1

Baker — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 20:04:02 +0000

If you look carefully, you'll notice a couple of Xonotic trees in this map. The map is open source, of course, because I believe in open source.

And sort of related -- another thing I did in the last month ...

Neon Sign Test Map. I created an animated gif to TGA + .shaders for Q3 map console command "giftoshader" in my modified DarkPlaces engine (Zircon) and made a test map with the results.

Quake 3 mod for Minecraft

neXus — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 11:35:35 +0000

Hi folks, for the past year I've been working on a Minecraft 1.19.4 mod that aims to recreate the Quake 3 experience, and I thought some of you might like it.

It's still very much in beta but I got the weapons working, as well as weapon+ammo spawners, armor and health pickups, and a few powerups.

I might eventually run a dedicated server for the mod once it's in good enough shape.

If you're interested, you can get the mod at https://modrinth.com/mod/mcquake3

Geo Map @ Moddb Homepage

Baker — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 11:10:56 +0000

I have been working away at creating very thorough implementation of Quake 1 in the Quake 3 map format (same version 46 as Xonotic).

I made this myself

I made a Hotel map with Tuhma vending machines.

And I modified Xonotic Geoplanetary with some single player challenges

Traffic to the page went up a ton ... I couldn't figure out why ... then I saw ...

Moddb put it on their homepage, haha.

The article I wrote has a pic of Solarium waterfall:

Zircon Galaxy (Xonotic derived)

Baker — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 05:49:34 +0000

The only individual here I am sure I have interacted with is Divverent who I think of as "div0" -- back in 2006 div0 helped me and RocketGuy who needed a specific Linux Quake engine server compiled -- I still remember how grateful we were for the assistance.

Anyway, for anyone interested ...

Zircon Galaxy is a single player / cooperative mod that uses Xonotic textures/models/sounds. The mod is a very interactive single player experience with inventory, vehicles and a ton of other enhancements.

A video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPQN9oVhXq4

The moddb page is here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/zircon-galaxy-alpha-10

Anyone who is interested in extreme coding may find some of the features in Zircon Galaxy interesting. It does 15 to 20 very difficult things that I think other coders will get a kick out of -- it does some things to really leverage some DarkPlaces features -- some you should notice just from the video.

Anyway, thank you for listening.

Need recommendatons for best wireless PC gaming mice and keyboards for Linux

CyberGhost — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 17:12:56 +0000

Hi hope all of you are well! I have been looking for wireless gaming mice and keyboards for Linux but am getting mixed reviews online and not having much luck finding some that are compatible. Most are for Windows and Mac. Also, would those even work with Xonotic or should I just stick to a traditional mouse and keyboard? Any help and recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

New open source game: AAAAXY

divVerent — Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:41:03 +0000

If you've wondered about my forum avatar - it's released now (but in alpha stage, meaning I'm polishing it and not publishing it to other sites than GitHub yet).
https://divVerent.github.io/aaaaxy/

If you're familiar with Warpzones from Xonotic, enjoy warpzones in 2D in AAAAXY!

Speedrunning is supported, of course. Aim for <15 minutes in an any% run, for example, or <1 hour for a 100% run (probably ~10min and ~30min are possible, respectively).
