P.S.: If you have a really fast Android device, you can also try to run Xonotic on it via this newly fixed DarkPlaces port. Last but not least, the awesome all new level editor for quake based games, Trenchbroom is making great advances and should soon allow easy mapping for Xonotic out of the box. DotC is an DOTA like but in 1st person view type of mod.It also has some nice vector shaded new weapons and player models. Overkill is a mod that attempts to combine the best of minsta gameplay and TDM/CTF.You can comment on this release over at the Xonotic forum release announcement thread (or of course here in our comment section).Īlso check out these two still under heavy development mods for xonotic: There are also finally an animation bending feature for the player-models and creation of new characters has never been easier now that the iqm format is used. That it runs on SDL 2.0 might also increase it's usability a lot for some. On the technical side of things, the engine DarkPlaces got quite a few performance improvements (mainly due to the fact that the creator now works at Valve software and thus has direct access to Nvidia's and AMD's graphics hardware divisions) and that an all new script compiler is now in use. most notably an extensive update the the CTF mode, some neat additional features for competitive gaming and an assortment of great new maps. Here is a nice (but slightly older) game-play video for those not having played Xonotic yet:Ĭhanges are quite extensive compared to the last official release. Overall, I think its a very good game to pass time and/or waste time with. Its got one of the best communities in all of gaming, and its developers are some of its most prominent players. It can be downloaded from the official repositories of Archlinux with the following command:įor the rest of the distributions, you can download the binary from the official website.After an agonizingly long wait, I am happy to report that a new official release of the premier FOSS arena FPS Xonotic is available to the masses. Xonotic is an open-source, futuristic, fast-pased FPS game based on Nexuiz Classic (which is also the basis of Rexuiz). But there is a gameplay that I have never seen in a shooter, Which is CTS, in which taking advantage of the speed of the game, it will make us go from one point to another on the map in the shortest possible time avoiding obstacles, platforms, etc. In FT we will have to freeze the opposing team to win, being able the members of our own team to unfreeze us being close to us. There are also other typical of the genre shooter as DM y CT, kill game and team kill game. In my GTX 660 ti with the configuration in ultra I have reached up to 800 fps.Įn xonotic There are several game modes, the main one is CTF, that is, team flag capture, in which as in many other shooters, you will have to get the flag of the opposite team and take it to your field without the other team recovering yours. In my experience, SDL offers higher performance. There are two versions, the one written in SDL and the one written in OpenGL. Visually Xonotic leaves you speechless, one of the best I have found in GNU / Linux, and, without a doubt, the game opensource with better graphics. It is still in an early stage of development (the current version is the 0.7), but I have played a lot and I can say that it has hardly any errors, or at least it has almost no major errors. It has been developed with the engine dark places, a modification of the graphics engine Quake. Xonotic as well I said is FOSS, licensed under the LPG. xonotic brings important improvements regarding NexuizNot only an increase in the quality of the graphics more than evident, but also vehicles that will help us to make the game more fun on large maps.

It has a single player game mode, but its strength is the multiplayer mode. Xonotic is a first person shooter, ultra-fast, which takes us to the times of the fps arena. It is about nothing more and nothing less than xonotic. However, there is a game that apart from having good graphics, is completely free and free. Others are excellent, like The metro last light, but they are proprietary and are not very consistent with the philosophy of our favorite operating system. and the graphic quality of these?
