I personally loathe bunny-hopping, and I feel with the impulse system we get the same kind of movement feedback we're after without the stupid kangaroo effect, and even this attempts to be balanced out with the impulse meter. I also found it funny that what were originally bugs in the early shooters, got kept and became so commonplace these days (weapon jumping/bunny-hopping). Wouldn't we all rather just get to the core and shoot at each other? That's why our only items are weapons, really. I really hate items, because (1) they're designed purposely to unbalance the game slightly in favour of the person who can keep collecting them, and (2) you end up getting distracted by low ammo/health counts and have to go hunting for items instead of players, whereas with regeneration, a quick run and hide is also a good opportunity to reload your gun and get straight back to it. I was a hardcore Quake and UT player, so I guess I overplayed the classic type of deathmatch too much and needed something different. What amuses me is how much everyone appreciates these gameplay rules we had from the outset. Every time I play a game I'm looking at gameplay mechanics and other minuscule but varied parts of it to glean ideas and apply them to our game. Red Eclipse thrives on this sort of thing, just nobody really knows it.
See, this is why I don't mind discussions like this. Xonotic seems to be a bit more hardwarehungry than RE. One thing more maybe, though most people wont care really. Thats all I can say from one hour playing. Though they wouldnt fit at all into RE, as the player is a twolegged Jet anyway. Vehicles I didnt saw so far, but I liked vehicles much in all games that offered them. On the other side they seem to have innovative and fun to play gamemodes, I played a round of freezetag, it seems to be pretty tactical. The bunnyhopping never bothered me before, but since I play RE, it just doesnt look good to me anymore. I needed pretty much time to get the switching between that and the main gun done quick enough in Nexuiz, and it seems I have to learn it again. Two things that I would criticize about it, is a) this jumpgun and b) the bunnyhopping. Xonotic 0.8.5 is here at last! There’s been thousands of commits since 0.8.2 making this quite a long read for all the right reasons: refined gameplay, new and updated maps and models, new sound effects, more dangerous bots, new HUD and menu features, more translations, better infrastructure, too many fixes to count, and much more.I played it today a while, and the graphics is not so different for me (I play both games on lowest settings, so I cant tell who has the nicer HDR or stuff like that xD).

Xonotic el3dn1 upgrade#
Use the following steps to upgrade your client to the 0.8.5 release: There’s no need to download the game again to get into the action.
Navigate to your Xonotic installation folder.Execute the update-to-release.sh (for Linux or Mac) or update-to-release.bat (for Windows) and wait for it to complete.Navigate to the misc/tools/rsync-updater folder. Vortex’s push force has been reduced from 400 to 200 so players no longer fly to the other end of the map when hit by a Vortex shot.Įlectro primary bolts are now capable of detonating secondary orbs in close proximity. This adds support for midair combos but is currently disabled by default. Previously, bolts could only trigger the combo by hitting the orbs' bounding boxes or an adjacent surface.Ĭrylink now has a linkexplode property which makes all pellets explode at once when any of them hit a player. This makes damage more consistent because when only 1 pellet hits, the others may still deal splash damage. It also reduces visual clutter compared to having all the missed pellets bouncing around. Duelĭuel is now a dedicated gametype, there is no longer a need for deathmatch with max playercount of 2.
Xonotic el3dn1 manual#
Manual revival progress now contributes to automatic revival progress.Players are immune to damage for 1 second after being revived.Freeze TagĬlever tactics are rewarded with epic comebacks and laziness is punished with these changes: This allows duel-specific gameplay settings and cleaner handling by XonStat. To compensate for the increased ease of reviving players, an extra point is no longer awarded for a revival (time spent reviving is still rewarded).
