After 7 months of very active development, Team Xonotic is proud to announce the release of Xonotic 0.6!
Xonotic is a free, open source (GPL), first-person shooter with multiplayer online matches. The project is geared towards providing addictive arena shooter gameplay which is all spawned and driven by the community itself. Team Xonotic wishes you to have good luck and fun playing with Xonotic!
CSQC networked player characters
Xonotic 0.6 brings the anticipated Client Side QuakeC (CSQC) networked player characters. It gives ground to some long waited and really important new features for die hard competitive FPS gamers, like
forced enemy models, with forced colors client side. CSQC networked players opens many more possibilities for the future, including client side weapons (no latency when firing/attacking), use simple items, ragdolls, animation blending/smoothing/segmentation, and much more.
Xonotic player statistics
XonStats, the integrated statistics system for Xonotic, allows you to send game data (frags, deaths, captures, weapon accuracy, etc.) and store them online for later viewing (at
http://stats.xonotic.org/).You can search for yourself or your friends’ statistics, watch overall rankings, server statistics and much more! Because we respect your
privacy the system has been designed to be specifically
opt-in, and on first launch of the game you will be asked whether you want your stats to be published.
sRGB lightmap rendering
Xonotic 0.6 comes with sRGB lightmap rendering by default so maps have more natural, realistic lights and shadows. In general this means that maps will have less extremely dark corners, and lighter areas are much more balanced.
4 new maps to frag on
Xonotic 0.6 ships with four new maps.
Lightspeed is a fun, small CTF map best played with four people. Fans of Deathmatch, Freezetag or Minstagib will enjoy fragging in the blueish halls and corridors of
Solarium. The competitive crowd will enjoy the 1v1 maps
Drain and the remake of a classic Quake deathmatch map,
Darkzone.
Menu redesign and translation updates
We have
redesigned and simplified the menu interface so it’s clear and convenient to use. We also paid great attention to the various translations of the menu text. And now support several languages (like Spanish, French, German and Hungarian) in the in-game messages. The menu is now available in Greek and Ukrainian as well!
New weapon models
The
Laser and the
Minstanex got new high quality models.
