Not a huge announcement, but recently the in-game guide got merged.
You can find it in the Singleplayer menu, next to "Instant action with bots!".

If you'd like to check it out, update to autobuild now!

You can also read a short blog post I made about it here.

Feel free to comment any improvement suggestions below  ]]>

Keen observers may have noticed that the stats website looks a little different lately. That's because the second iteration of XonStat is now up and running on stats.xonotic.org! This version was written from the ground up to solve many of the pain points of the previous version. There's lot of new stuff happening under the hood, but here are some of the high points compared to what we had previously:

* Code is in Go (statically typed, compiled) instead of Python (duck-typed, interpreted).
* Standard library (net/http) HTTP server instead of WSGI via Gunicorn.
* API documentation instead of...a forum post?
* Redis shared cache instead of per-process, in-memory Beaker cache.
* Foundation 6 instead of Foundation 4 for the CSS framework.
* Chart.js (canvas) instead of NVD3.js (SVG) for charting/visualization.
* Weng-Lin instead of Elo for skill calculations.
* Rate limiting (none previously).
* Tracking of spectators/forfeits (none previously).

You can follow development progress on Gitlab. Feel free to create issues for any bugs you might find (and yes, there *will* be bugs).

Thank you all for supporting me during this transition! Special thanks go to divVerent, Mr. Bougo, bones_was_here, malice, and t0uYK8Ne for their suggestions and encouragement.]]>

I'm happy to announce that we're now in code freeze! The development team is not merging in any new enhancements so we can ensure that you get a stable release soon. That means now is the time to flush out any remaining show-stopping bugs! You can help us by reporting any bugs to us on the project's issue tracker for triage. Feel free to also ping us in the development channel on IRC as well: #xonotic on Freenode.

Cheers and happy fragging!]]>

I would love to enhance the forums anyway I can, I don't always have time, but I promise to prioritize security patches, and major useability bugs.

I would love to help on new features, enhancements, small bugs.  If you can provide me with a patch, or meet me halfway on a solution, I can guarantee a faster result.

Use this thread as an opportunity to report any bugs, or request features!

If you prefer, find me on IRC #xonotic on freenode/quakenet.

If you have a gitlab account, the issues that are more complex should be captured here: https://gitlab.com/detrate/xonotic-mybb/issues

Added a responsive theme to the forums, select "NetPen" in the theme chooser in the footer, or in your profile.


01-31-2018

Upgraded with the latest security patches, fixed some user reported bugs (thanks guys!), re-purposed this thread.


03-03-2017

The forums look different today, the reason for that is we've upgraded! We're now using the latest version of MyBB, 1.8.10.

The new theme, revoxono, has overcome many of the issues we had with the old theme.  However, nothing is perfect, we expect you to find bugs, or miss features from the old theme.

We're planning on rolling out a few more changes over the next few weeks, stay tuned.

Big shout out to everyone on the team that helped make this upgrade as smooth as possible.]]>

This is where you can help. By testing the game using the SDL binaries and providing us feedback, the development team can get a better picture of where we should spend our time. How to test SDL, you say? If you're on git, you can run "./all run sdl". If you're on an autobuild or the 0.8.0 release, you can run the script with "sdl" in the name. If you find something, please file and issue with us on our GitLab tracker. If it warrants a discussion first, please don't hesitate to drop by the development IRC channel (#xonotic on freenode). Please remember that IRC responses may take a while.

Anyway, here's to bug squashing. See you all on the servers, and happy fragging!

EDIT: One of our developers informed me that we need to compile git builds with a specific option for SDLv2 to enable it. You can do this with "SDL_CONFIG=sdl2-config ./all compile". After this is done the "./all run sdl" will use version 2 instead of version 1. Thank you for the tip, packer!]]>

Over the years I have received several requests for raw statistics data. Today I'm happy to release a snapshot of that data for interested parties to use! You can obtain this here. This is a PostgreSQL database dump of XonStat on 2015-05-27 that was created using pg_dump. It contains every game, server, map, and player present in the database up to that time! You can load it by following the commands within the drop and load script in the xonstatdb git repository.

Once you are up and running, I'd recommend examining the table structures with the '\dt' command from within psql to get yourself familiar with the data model. You can filter out tables ending in q1, q2, q3, or q4 - these are child tables used to break up the volume. For example, the games_2015q1 table contains games from the first quarter of this year, but you can obtain the same information by querying the games table with a WHERE clause on the create_dt column. If you have any questions, you can always ask here.

Licensing
The database structure (DDL, for those familiar with database parlance) is under the GPLv3 license, with the full source available on GitLab. The data is licensed under the CC-BY license, with attribution to "Team Xonotic" and http://www.xonotic.org.

I look forward to seeing what you all do with this!
