 +Nexuiz is a multiplayer shooter in the style of Unreal Tournament, with the difference that it is completely open source and available on different platforms. Up to 32 players can play per map. Unfortunately, switching between modes is not as easy as in [[Unreal Tournament 2004|UT2004]]. For this it is always necessary to restart the server. But there are mods to avoid this problem. If you just want to watch the game, you can also find corresponding [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmjlLmX885g|Videos]] on the net.

 Actually quite simple: Download and unpack. On Linux you can get the whole thing via the package management. The mappack should be unpacked either to ''Nexuiz\data'' (Windows) or to ''~/.nexuiz/data'' (Linux). But there might be a drawback, depending on how up-to-date the installed version is. Especially via the package management it can happen that nothing has been updated anymore concerning the master servers. A server operator can report his server to them. Clients query this server to find Internet servers. Unfortunately, the default address is no longer correct because the server is down. But this can be fixed very easily by adding the following lines to the config of the client and/or server (on the client this is the file ''config.cfg'', in the same directory where the mappack should end up):<code> Actually quite simple: Download and unpack.

 Especially with CTF there are several point rules, which can differ from server to server.

Here is a list of the points, as they are assigned during CTF as default:
Line 51: Line 62:
 The points can be overwritten by corresponding [[Nexuiz cvars g Part 1|cvars]] on the server so that other rules can apply. The same points will also be credited to the team score. Depending on the mode, CTF can also be run in such a way that the team with the most points wins instead of the team with the most captures. CTF is therefore actually much more demanding than it is often played. For example, an unsuccessful attempt to steal the flag (pickup (-3) kill (-2) drop (-2) return (-1)) brings -8 points. Successful (pickup (-3) capture (28) gives +25, so the exact procedure makes a big difference. However, the captures tend to weigh a lot in the end. But if a lot of attempts were necessary, the opposing team may still win because it has more points in the end. The points can be overwritten by corresponding [[Nexuiz cvars g Part 1|cvars]] on the server so that other rules can apply.

-The Mobile Infanterie server has two Nexuiz servers running. If you like Capture the Flag more, you should have a look at ''www.mobile-infanterie.de:26002''. For Deathmatch go here: ''www.mobile-infanterie.de:26000''. See also the [[http://www.mobile-infanterie.de/status.php|Status page]]. If a server is running //not// on the default port and has also //not// been announced to the master servers, it will not be visible at first. Then you either have to work with [[HLSW]] or create the server in your own favorites.+The Mobile Infanterie server has two Nexuiz servers running.

 In principle, the port you have configured +1 is sufficient to create the server. The default port is 26000 (UDP), i.e. 26000-26001 UDP. In general, you don't have to do anything to play the game. To set up a server, simply download the Nexuiz archive (Windows) or install it from the package sources (Linux). You should then find the file ''server.cfg'' in the directory ''server'' (in the ''*.zip'' file for Windows). Under Ubuntu it seems that this file has been omitted completely. ( Hints for other distributions are welcome...) If you can't find it on your own disk with the distribution you are using, just take the file from the Windows archive. Works just as well. In principle, the port you have configured +1 is sufficient to create the server. The default port is 26000 (UDP), i.e. 26000-26001 UDP.
