Finally the long awaited Nexuiz v2.5 has been released. It comes with a huge load of new features and bugfixes. Apart from that, basically all functions from the tourney mod that was used in v2.4.2 have been included into Nexuiz v2.5, which makes the further usage of this mod unnecessary.

Again, as this is a new release, this means that all players have to update their copy of Nexuiz. This does also apply to the servers, of course.

Server admin information:
There is no more tourney mod to use anymore. It is highly recommended that you setup your server from scratch for this release. A detailed guide is available here! In this guide you'll also find out how you can make your ladder server a universal ladder server, that allows the players to vote for 1on1 Deathmatch, 2on2 Team Deathmatch and 3on3 CTF modes.

Information for the players (please read this!):

• It is quite possible that some of the updated ladder servers will become universal ladder servers that allow you to change the mode by voting for either of the aliases 1on1dm, 2on2tdm or 3on3ctf. To check whether this works on the server of your choice, enter vhelp into console and have a look at the list of votable commands that the server returned to you.
  
• Please consider to check this site in 1-2 weeks again once all ladder servers are updated, because we will provide a config file that you can put into your data directory and execute it once, as it will add all ladder servers as “favourites” into your in-game server browser.
  
• In case that you had put a tourney_vars.cfg into your data dir and had that executed in your autoexec.cfg, you can delete that file now and remove the exec entry from your autoexec.cfg
  
• Please note that the only modifications that you are allowed to do to the copy of your game are:
  a) changing or removing music tracks,
  b) changing variables in your config.cfg or autoexec.cfg to adept the graphics, HUD etc to your needs,
  c) modifying the color palette, have a look at the paragraph “Allowed custom packages” on the rules page. You are, however, not allowed to use the other, outdated client-side packages such as the nexgunbeam or nogibs package that used to be allowed during v2.4.2 times. There is no need to use them, as you can have your old nexgun beam back by setting the variable cl_particles_oldnexbeam to 1, or remove the gibs while playing by setting the corresponding checkbox in the settings menu. Apart from that you are not allowed to change the content of v2.5, thus you are not allowed to replace the v2.5 weapon sounds or models with other sounds/models!
  
• Please note that all regular, updated ladder servers, regardless which mode (1on1/2on2/3on3) they are using, allow you to enable the minstagib mode. So don't be confused if you connect to a 1on1 server for example and find out that it runs minstagib. Just do a vcall g_minstagib 0 to get rid of it again.
  
• In case that you created keybinds that call a timeout in v2.4.2 (tourney mod), please notice that the command names changed in 2.5. They are now timeout and timein (before they were calltimeout and resumegame) – so in case you were using them, please update your keybinds!
  
• CTF ladder: please notice that now only flag captures are counting. The score or frags of your team are now irrelevant for the winning condition. Please consider this when entering your match result, as you shall only enter the number of flag captures there.
