| 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.

| As the Nexuiz community was not quite happy with the way Illfonic proceeded with the original Nexuiz project (which eventually became a proprietary game with the same name, based on the UT 3 engine, completely redone from scratch), the project (nowadays called >>Nexuiz Classic<<) became dormant, due to lack of support from the open source community. It is not really maintained any more, since roughly 2012. Other's picked up where they left, forking it into [[Xonotic]] and Rexuiz. The latter is a reincarnation of Nexuiz, fully compatible with the original Nexuiz (Classic). It does for example solve problems with UHD resolutions on Windows. There is a launcher available, that downloads latest game files before starting the actual game: [[https://github.com/kasymovga/qrexuizlauncher/releases]]. It is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. For Linux there is also a snap package of the game, that you can install via ''sudo snap install rexuiz''. Home base of the actual game is [[https://github.com/kasymovga/rexuiz]]. The interface has changed since 2012 but the actutal game play is pretty much the same. | As the Nexuiz community was not quite happy with the way Illfonic proceeded with the original Nexuiz project (which eventually became a proprietary game with the same name, based on the CryENGINE 3, completely redone from scratch), the project (nowadays called >>Nexuiz Classic<<) became dormant, due to lack of support from the open source community.

| This has the disadvantage that you have to rely on an external data source, but the advantage that map downloads are fast or even at all possible. Mappacks are therefore not absolutely necessary, unless we are talking about very low upload bandwidths below 100 kB/s... The maps can also simply be located on a webspace, this does not have to be on the same computer on which the Nexuiz server is running. Only SSL/HTTPS should not be used. Similar to [[star_trek_-_voyager_elite_force|Eliteforce 1]] the game has problems with map downloads, if the map depot should be accessed via HTTPS. For some players it is simply not possible to download the maps. | This has the disadvantage that you have to rely on an external data source, but the advantage that map downloads are fast or even at all possible.

| As you can get desperate if you don't know exactly what you are doing, here's a short description of what you need to do on the server and client side to be able to send commands to the server via RCON. First you have to set both sides to ''rcon_secure 0'' in the config. Other modes would be possible in principle, but require completely synchronous clocks. Since this is anything but guaranteed, better don't set it to anything else. If you set this to another value, the server won't throw out any error messages when you try to authenticate. But it won't react to commands, either, because they don't reach it at all. The command //must// precede the password because it will set the password to the value to the right, when it is executed. If there isn't any thing, the password will be reset. | As you can get desperate if you don't know exactly what you are doing, here's a short description of what you need to do on the server and client side to be able to send commands to the server via RCON.
