Weekend Game Night - Xonotic (Saturday)

Starting Saturday, 22st April 19:00 GMT/ 3PM EST

Free, libre and gratis, arena FPS.
Featuring alt-fire on the majority of weapons.

Downloads
dl.xonotic.org/xonotic-0.8.2.zip
dl.xonotic.org/xonotic-0.8.2.zip.torrent

No DRM and neither is it old or abandonware.
Just unpack the .zip file that contains executables for Mac, Linux and Windows.
If you run into issues you can ask here, or have the developers provide tech support on their IRC.
xonotic.org/chat

Additionally Xonotic is in the repositories for some distributions of Linux, but it may be outdated. If you would prefer to use your distro's package manager, please make sure that the game's data is also up to date.

Common Errors
This is a map download error where your client has failed to download the map. This can either be the server's fault (bad download link given to clients), or the client's fault for whatever reason. If this occurs to you, and you are on Linux, make sure you have libcurl installed.
This may also occur if the server is currently on a 0.8.2 map while you have a 0.8.1 client.

This is the mechanism that ensures you have one instance of the game running, thus you may have Xonotic running in the background. Open your process manager, and kill the Xonotic process.
If you legitimately want to run multiple instances of Xonotic, you can launch Xonotic in the command line with '-sessionid ' as the launch parameter.

This is either from high latency (~200 ms) or too much background activity in Linux (high RAM utilization).

Newbie Guide
General Gameplay Tips & Config Suggestions
gitlab.com/xonotic/xonotic/wikis/Halogenes_Newbie_Corner

Rebind weapons off the number row- you will need to access all of them easily and conveniently

The default settings on a fresh install is slightly tailored for aesthetics such as graphics and music.
It is suggested to turn down some effects in favor of perception e.g hearing the positions of other players.

How to Call Votes
Open the console (~) and type commands. vcall , you can view all vote options with the command 'vhelp'vmap , vote to change map to the one given in the argument - you may view available maps with lsmaps
There is a configurable GUI mini-menu bound by default to F8 that lists common vote options, but is not comprehensive by default.

Screenshots and Videos
F12 = Take screenshot (default key)
You can view your screenshots in-game, Main Menu > Multiplayer > Media > Screenshots.

Demo Recording (to later make videos)
From the Main Menu > Multiplayer > Media > Demos, check 'auto record demos'.

We ended up with a decent-sized group yesterday. Peaked around 18-20 I think.

I pushed a few changes to the server config.
git.teknik.io/antares/infinity_xonotic_server_config/commits/master

Only a few small fixes, but the significant change would be the addition of the +xpm vote so there can be a proper XPM TDM as opposed to the 2v2 TDM option that was a residue of a mini-tournament held in the past Xonotic threads.

Could the other admin run this command over rcon as well?
sv_vote_gametype_options "dm xpmdm kdm tdm ctf xpmctf cts ca ft ka stdm duel"
Basically this is replacing Last Man Standing game mode with Keepaway, and 2v2 XPM TDM with Key Hunt (another team based game mode).

Why didn't we just play Quake? If we're playing an arena FPS it should be Quake not this.

Go ahead. Here's the Quake server.

Try something new, user. This isn't even all that bad. A bit janky at times, but it's pretty fun.

Shit. That wasn't a crash was it?

We wanna do another start time or just yell in the thread when joining?

Server hasn't crashed once since I started hosting, if that's what you mean. clients seem to d/c for weird reasons sometimes though.


It starts RIGHT NOW

Good, I'll pop in soooon™

Here.


Think I made someone rage quit while playing with him and some other early birds…

we should have chosen a fun game

coming soon: me, shooting you

Still up?

East Coast server is the primary server for Americans and Europeans.
You can check the current game mode and amount of players online here.
dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=xonotic&server=45.76.166.186:26000

How does someone even manage to get -666 kills?

It's the default value for the field assigned to spectators.

OC webm for a start.
Me building up speed, picking up a flag at 1.2k qu/s, and capping.

...

Is that even legal? Get a new ISP already.

what are your UI settings man mine look kinda cluttered

Rural Canada, it's not like I have alternatives that aren't even worse.

Such is life for a leaf, I suppose.

FUCKING BATTLEFIELD 2 YES IM SO IN!

Copy and paste into some file like 'hud.cfg', where xonotic stores your config. Then in the game's console (~), type exec .cfg.

Time for round two.

Did something happen? I went out for about an hour, around the time of that skyblue map.

wew

holding W and strafingjumping while bhopping in race

People asking about aiming while jumping.
Thing is, people don't exactly strafe jump and aim at the same time.
webm is a snippet from Holla Forums's duel event last year.

...

This flag cap.

jesus christ

Is this game playable with an xbox controller?

...

Yeah sure, just remap all the inputs

Well, I broke my mouse in an autistic fit of rage.
Had a fun run, Il definately come back when I get a new mouse.

holy shit thats hilarious.

I'll be back on for the late shift and early eurofag hours

Besides the memery, the contrast between the music and the gameplay was actually breddy cool.
9/11, would play prog rock for music on an fps again.

Custom maps sometimes don't have music set to play on them. It's kind of a mixed bag.

LOL

I usually suck when I play upbeat music, then I put The Cure's depressing albums and I start doing sorta good, idk why.

I assume the contrast with prog rock and this game is nice because it puts you in a comfy state of mind.

I felt the warp overtaking me earlier as well, but I quit before I smashed anything and decided to work on figuring out how to host a server for gamenight in the summer. Now I have a working mouse and a server for a game nobody played here in years.

What game?

Soldner: Secret Wars. We played it around the same time as Deer Hunter 2005 but haven't touched it since.

My rage came not from sucking dick, but from my ultra shitty ping.
Not a real loss, the mouse was old and ugly.
I'm using my computer with a cintiq.

What's it like?

Who ever wants to play Race CTS and practice going fast, the late night CTSfag is afoot.
Just like last night, the activity kind of dies down around this time.
There's just a handful of players right around now, and an Austrailian with 300 ping.

im on my way

Also.
Have another game night for Sunday?

Numbers normally drop a bit on Sunday (say 3-4 less than on Saturday) in my experience but if you want to host it go for it.

Polling for yes or no.
Reply with yes for another game night, just to gauge interest.

Also NA East Coast has served 80 unique clients who have some playtime on the server.
archive.fo/http://stats.xonotic.org/server/11050*

It's like Joint Ops mixed with Battlefield 2 and made by a group of /k/ users from Germany on Mosin budgets in the early 2000s.

I'd say yes but I can't guarantee I'll be on, so I'm a maybe at best.

I'll probably drop by but not spend as much time as friday or saturday.

Can we play a game that isn't old and gay?

Sounds like a laugh, I'll certainly be up for playing it either on an off-weekend or one of the full nights.

thanks alot m8

That Robweibe guy should really eat a dick ffs can't kill the nigger.

ggs tho, I hope Holla Forums comes in for more Xon with this gamenight.

Let me know if you guys want to play more Xonotic for a Sunday game night before 19:00 GMT/ 3PM EST.
Or I actually don't think the OP needs to be changed since there hasn't been any new technical problems, and the servers haven't changed (and I might get "flood detected" if I try to make a new thread for Sunday).
Leaning towards re-using this thread if we do want to play for Sunday.

Yesterday's game night while the server got on to Race CTS mode, I mentioned that strafe jumping works in other games based on Quake engine, including Call of Duty. Going to post some webms from YouTube demonstrating it being done in other others.
It'll vary, seeing some Call of Duty, especially the modern ones, you don't go as fast and the players don't hop continuously to insane speeds.

In webm: Everquest 2

Strafe jumping in Call of Duty: Black Ops

I don't play CSGO and out of a lot of gameplay videos I've seen of CS, this looks very different.
There's a lot of hacking accusations. So I probably need to find another video.

Looks like a Race CTS mode in CSGO.
He goes backwards and sideways- I didn't mention it before, but you can do these jumps in any direction you want.

I know about it, its shit, works like a shittier version of arma and command can literally shit the game calling for airstrikes anywhere in the map, i rather play joint operations thats atleast more fun.

The difficulty in those jumps in CSGO comes from the fact that the game culls your speed should you go over a certain threshold. In 1.6 and source, such a limit wasn't imposed. I've never seen anyone bhop that well in CSGO, but I suppose it could be done without scripting. Some of those circle jumps are commonly used by people who have experience with movement tricks. If the voices you hear in the game are from an enemy, it might also be a custom server with allvoice enabled and the limitation removed.

Wew

FUCK

...

I remember playing this with Holla Forums until the host got buthurt because everyone was spamming battleships and crashing the server.

gonna unsticky soon due to it being sunday. just a quick heads up

No.

Nobody was playing on any of the servers when Mark posted that. You guys did your gamenight scheduled from Friday to Saturday, today is Sunday.

His ego.
Apr 21 13:21:09 SPLAT❈ is the best NA weapons player and I'm the best NA insta CTF player

He's right, you know, the gamenights are strictly speaking only supposed to be Friday and Saturday. If he wants to unsticky it on Sunday that's fair enough. Servers are empty anyway.

Reflections, feedback, future gamenight suggestions etc here please:
>>>/radcorp/306

I'm doing it now user, also thank you for doing this.

Worth noting that this is actually a circle jump. For whatever reason, CoD players use the term for the mechanic that was phased out (due to landing anims) for the one that remained (which is still in because there's probably not an easy way to fix it)

Strafejump proper is also doable in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory which, if I recall correctly, has an entry further down the game night list. There's a sort of gimped version of it in Quake Wars as well

007 Nightfire also has it, but you have to put up with a shit PC port


It was already gimped pre-GO, just in terms of the floor rather than the ceiling. The reason why people use scrollwheel is because Valve tried to make the jump window impossibly small. In OG Quake, jumps are buffered, so you can just tap and hold jump instead of trying to time that shit on landing. In VQ3 and CPM, you have to time your jump input for max accel, but the window is much larger

So if anything, Valve made bhop harder to get into and more rewarding than it was in the original Quake, where no rebinding or major habit changing was needed

Two days is plenty time anyway.
I wasn't hosting this week, just doing the scheduling (image-editing user deserves credit for actually making the schedule too). The xonotic thread anons deserve all the credit for hosting the last two days.

You should do a guide to quake/arena shooter movement tricks as an image that anons can save and post whenever needed in future. That would be helpful for many threads and fairly interesting (I don't think people realise just how many games run on modified versions of the quake engine).

Also can't thank enough, the user who provided servers for East Coast, Austrailia, and Europe.

Indeed, whoever you are user good job.

Can I suggest we do Deer Hunter?

You'd have to ask the user who hosted it before, I know he's still around and up for doing it. Probably more likely to run on an off-weekend though.

I'm the one who hosted it before. Definitely looking forward to hosting it. Working on making a schedule for what to host when right now.

Shutting down the temporary servers now. Lots of fun, thanks for playing.

Thanks for hosting user.

Usual Xonotic thread made here:
