Every lunar eclipse, I stop my usual h@x0ring in Linux and play some games. "Oh vapor you must dual boot and dual boot is sux!!1" My poor ignorant friends, I don't need that do that tedious step. No, I just use XQF, a Linux GameSpy clone (if you will). Here's what's new in this version.
So stop your h@x0ring and play some nice productive games, like CS. Thanks to PJ_Hooker (yes our own comment assh-- cool guy) for sending this in.Lots of updates. Please see the ChangeLog for full
details and credits, but here are some of the
highlights -- some of which were covered in previous
news items but before now were only available by
downloading the CVS version:
Multiple server filters; Filter name configurable and
appears in the status bar.
Lock Icon to show if server is private or not; icon
next to number of players turns yellow if all of the
public client spaces are full.
Pressing "Insert" brings up the add server dialog;
pressing SHIFT+Insert adds the currently selected
server to ones favorites.
Added support for new Team Arena Game types.
Protocol 48 (1.27) Q3A servers get queried with
protocol 48 in qstat.
Execute "PreLaunch" script when launching game (for
use with ICQ scripts, etc.).
Improved support for Half-Life servers.
Improved support for Unreal Tournament.
Improved support for Quake2.
Hack for supporting multiple Q3A protocols i.e. xqf
can run different Q3A's depending on if it is a 1.17
or 1.27 server: see the README file.
Q3A hack for connecting to arena servers so that all
of the vm_* settings are correct on the command line.
Resolved one major source of core dumps. It should be
much more stable now.
