I have reopened the Xmod2 project and have big plans for the next version. Currently I need xmod2 server admins and players to help catch me up. The website is back up at:
http://xmod2.cat5camp.com/)

Please visit the bug tracker and register any bugs or feature requests for the project. If you don't know what Xmod is, everything you need to know is in the above URL.

This is good news and best of luck to you!

But please, please, tell me that you'll remove the "abusive" admin commands for good this time (slap, sleep, slay, etc)? *crosses fingers*

I mean, now that even JA+ mod has done this, surely Xmod2 will follow?

Hey Hex, good to see this project come back to life again.

New so far in the next server side release:

Hope you noticed my message. ;)

I have reopened the Xmod2 project and have big plans for the next version. Currently I need xmod2 server admins and players to help catch me up. The website is back up at:
http://xmod2.cat5camp.com/)

Please visit the bug tracker and register any bugs or feature requests for the project. If you don't know what Xmod is, everything you need to know is in the above URL.

I would hazard there are few to none servers running xmod these days. I loved it personally but my clan did more dueling then ctf or FFA etc... and it just seemed to "feel" wrong in duel gametype. Also as I recall there some crash issues when being killed my environment things... lava, etc.

Although I've never used it, JA+ pretty much rules the realm these days.

I'd be glad to put up a competitive settings xmod server (FF/FW FFA and FF/FW CTF) now that it's being actively developed again.

You know hex, using a static library of libcurl is a much wiser idea.

Dueling in "Duel" gametype "feels wrong"?

What an odd thing to say...!

If anything, it feels more "right" than challenging somebody in the midst of a FFA...

LOL. no I meant actual game play felt different in xmod from base settings in saber-only duel gametype. It either wasn't there or not noticeable in in full out weapons/force play.

btw USA hasn't run an FFA circle-jerk-on-bespin-streets server in a LOOOONG time... maybe over a year :bluflag2:

We usually run a saber/duel server and second server rotating. It has been running Warsow for the past month or 2 but recently I decided to bring back [USA] - DISRUPTION Instagib - 72.5.249.13:29070 (http://www.jeditracker.com/ja/tracker.pl?ipaddress=72.5.249.13&port=29070&bgcolor=333333&titlebar=000000&display=cdcdcd&window=333333&language=)

XCTF will be returning. I will be including custom maps in the rotation since the xmod client can do http/ftp transfers. Any map suggestions?

I plan on building curl directly into the application next release. It's annoying to have to have the dll in the game folder.

The JA Bonus Map Pack! Those maps really need to be on more JA players' computers... period.
;)

Indeed :cry:

Half the people in ctf or even ffa for that matter wont download custom maps on their own.

I know, it stinks :(. Wish they had fast downloads from servers though, that'd be pretty awesome. Actually Hex, weren't you able to do just that?

He was, they just have to have his mod first...

I know, it stinks :(. Wish they had fast downloads from servers though, that'd be pretty awesome. Actually Hex, weren't you able to do just that?

EnsiMod has it as well. AFAIK XMOD and EnsiMod are the best 2 to have downloading. The JA+ current build just doesn't cut it, especially with maps not even sure if XMOD allows maps to be downloaded without restarting the application.

Yep, Xmod has always allowed http/ftp fast downloading of maps and assets without restarting the game.

well using /reconnect does not work with maps.

What are you talking about?

I do not use /reconnect. The way my ftp/http download part works is:
1) I hijack the connect command and dump it before it actually goes through
2) I then grab the server info of the server you just tried to connect to and get the x_urlget info var.
3) I check that url for a required.lst file which contains a list of files that need to be downloaded before we attempt to connect to the server.
4) After I get these files I issue a special connect command to connect to the server normally. At this point the server file check and everything is handled normally.

Any maps added to the server need to be added to the required.lst file and uploaded to the webspace. Otherwise the server will send the files the old way. The bonus to this method is any server (xmod or not) can set the x_urlget cvar and any xmod clients connecting to their server can use the ftp/http download method.

Indeed, that is how we do it as well. At first way back when you were just starting http/ftp downloads i recall you told stubert that it was /reconnect to make it force the fs to work.

We use:
fs_game "base"
donedl
fs restarts, fixes fs_game to mod.

Hey Hex, do you think you could point me in the right direction on how to fix the rage/speed bug in jka so that it is like jk2 and they can be used together for more speed? Because in the code it all seems the same pretty much.

What are you talking about?

better hope peeps don't upload many extra maps to their servers then, could take forever downloading all of them at once :ears1:
