A new update for Nexuiz was just released, v2.4.2 !
It is a bugfix release which contains also a few new features. For more information head to the official announcement in the Alientrap forums.

Besides there is a new version of the tourney mod available, v0.5 ! Server admins need to update to v0.5 when updating their servers to v2.4.2 in order to have a compatible setup.

As every time, this means that all the players have to update their clients and the server admins of the ladder servers will have to update the servers as well.

Further information for the players:
There is an update for the package which makes the nexgun beam visible at low particle quality settings: download here. Put it into your data directory and delete the zzz_ladder_nexgunbeam_v1.pk3 file if you have it there.

Further information for the server admins:

• Please update the tourney mod: overwrite the progs.dat, progs.lno and tourney_vars.cfg with the files of the new version v0.5 of the tourney mod. Then restart your server.
  
• For 2on2 ladder server admins: there is an required update available for the mapinfo-package. The mapinfo-package is used to enable the TDM gamemode on some maps (also custom maps). Since the release of v2.4.2 you'll need the new version: zzz_ladder_2on2_mapinfos_v2.pk3
  Please make sure to delete any older version of that package on your server. The file needs to be placed in the data directory of your server!
  

Have fun with the new release :-)

There is a new addition to the allowed custom packages on the client-side. You can now download the Nexuiz Color palette chooser jar file which is a small tool which allows you to modify the colors red, blue, green and orange of the Nexuiz color palette. Simply download it and execute the jar file (if you don't know how to open it and a simple double-click doesn't work, use google to find out how to start jar files - you will need the Java Runtime Environment 5 or later - yes, it's rocket science). Once you successfully opened the tool, use Help -> About to find out how to use it.

There is a new update available for the tourney mod. It addresses issues with voting which now only counts the votes of the real players themselves (excluces spectators) and allows voting for a custom timelimit which will then be set after all players readied up. Besides all players will now hear the robotic announcer sounds 3, 2, 1 while the restart countdown is active.

All serveradmins: please update! If you already had v0.3 installed you only need to replace progs.dat and progs.lno and switch to another map. No server restart is required. As always you can find the download of the mod on the Rules page!

A new version of tourney mod has been released. It adds a feature that blocks votes from spectators during the match-stage and disables teamplay_lockonrestart on ladder servers by default. Server admins should please update their servers, for further information about the update process, have a look at the readme included in the zip-file!

There is now a new mod for Nexuiz v2.4 made primarily by GreEn`mArine which serves some requests from the competitive gaming community. All ladder server admins are forced to download this mod from the rules page. The package cotains a zip file which includes the mod and a readme.html, which explains the ladder-specific installation of the mod.

Please note that the rules were changed accordingly: spectators are now allowed, unless a player doesn't want the match to be spectated. Have a look at the rules page for further information.

The download of the mod is also interesting for players because of the readme, which explains what features this mod brings for the players, as well as the commands and their aliases which can be used in conjunction with this mod.
