| Saturday, 25. August 2007 - 16:37 CET |  | written by : X1^CHAMPi^
| Some of you guys tried to download files from our download section in the past. Most of the links were broken cause of the new server URL.
I tried to repair most of these links... so give it a try again. 
The latest Q3 X-Battle version and last Q4 XBM archive can also be found there.

| | BATTLEMOD: Q4 X-Battle (XBM) development stopped | | | | |
| Thursday, 28. December 2006 - 15:12 CET | | written by : X1^CHAMPi^
| Unfortunately i need to inform you about the fact that the development of the Q4 X-Battle (XBM) modification has stopped.
There were 2 reasons for this decision. First of all is that kaffeedoktor left the team to join up the Q4MAX team. He was the most active part of XBM and spent hours of development in XBM each single day! So with his exit the team lost a lot of his coding force.
Secondly, and thats a really important point from my side of view, i lost the interest in q4! Which means that i didnt play it anymore. (at least not at the moment). So, it didnt made any sense for me to develope a mod that i didnt play.
Here are some questions, with a short statement from me, which i got during the last weeks, after the first people noticed about the current situation of XBM.
So you dont care about the community any longer?
Sure, i do and always did! I noticed that the commnunity found a replacement for XBM and i think its a good one. So the community should be on the safe side.
What will happen with the source code of XBM?
I dont know it yet. Maybe, if all other previous coders agree, its possible to make it open source. That would allow the community to continue the development of XBM. But there is no final decision made yet.
Why you didnt join the Q4MAX team?
As descripted above i and dont play q4 anymore, so it wasn't my goal to join another team.
Are you disappointed from Kaffeedoktor that he left the team?
NO! He told me about his plans before he left and he did so much for XBM in the past that it wouldn't be fair to blame him for it.
What you are doing in the future? Any plans yet?
First of all i need to spend some time to sort my reallife. (need to find a new job or get self-employed) and i already found a new coding project that makes me really fun. Its a browsergame project based on PHP and mySQL. If you want to take a look on it, see here. The funny thing is, that i got more donates in a period of 3 months with it as i ever got with XBM in 6 years (Q3 XBM)!
Will the pickup channels #spontanq4ctf and #spontanq4tdm switch to max?
Sure, thats the only logical consequence.
Is it possible that you will continue your work on your old quake3 mod X-Battle?
Oh yes, it's possible. But not at the moment. I currently spend every free minute in the browsergame project.
Ok, thats all for now. Finally i want to say thank you to some people which helped us in the past with XBM.
to the coders:
youssef
SorDiD
BanDiT
to the league admins
GGL|Alien
[CB]erazor
Kuh3Liga|frag
and to all our beta-testers we had and all people i forgot.

| Finally its done!
After months of work we are proud to present you our latest version of the XBM Tournament Mod. The full list of changes are too long to post it here, so be sure to take a look at the history.txt. But here are the most important things:
- full Q4 PR 1.3 support (incl. new napalm gun, deadzone gametype and gameplay changes)
- a fresh new GUI (all client commands are adjustable, votes included!)
- optional 'simple' 1 colored Brightskins (they take less performance compared to the 3 tiled skins)
- optional clientside XGO sounds
- MAXstats support (XML stats logging)
- new gametype FREEZE TDM (developed under the control of the Q3 UFT scene)
- alternate weapon viewmodels (for ui_showgun 1 players)
- enemy/team model handling rewritten from scratch
- r_lightScale and other important cvars unlocked
- bothering console warnings removed
- and much much more
The download urls will follow asap after we got it from our mirrors.

I deleted more as 300 spam comments and disabled anonymous posting since today to reduce the number of spams.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but from now on you need to be registered in order to post here.

| | BATTLEMOD: X-Battle (XBM) v0.23fix released | | | | |
| Wednesday, 26. April 2006 - 22:29 CET | | written by : X1^CHAMPi^
| Hiho,
here we go again with the updated version of XBM 0.23, the q3 enemy sounds are removed and replaced by some internal q4base sounds. Ofcourse you can still use the s_altEnemySounds command. Be sure you try both options:
s_altEnemySounds 1 and s_altEnemySounds 2
Anyway, this is not the final solution. We are working on new and better enemysounds and you can expect something in one of the next releases.
You can download the new version here (slow!)
Mirrors: (much faster!)
Mirror 1 - thx to Shockwave
Mirror 2 - thx to prionchen (very fast!)
Mirror 3 - thx to smove (fast)

| | BATTLEMOD: de-releasing of XBM 0.23 - Statement | | | | |
| Tuesday, 25. April 2006 - 08:39 CET | | written by : X1^CHAMPi^
| Regarding the addition of the new enemysounds we included in the latest version of x-battle mod (0.23), we would like to clairfy a few things.
First of all, we apologise unreservedly to the copyright holder of the files we used. We did not include these with the intention to violate the copyright on them, but to enhance the experience of the game for the Q4 community. We would like to recall version 0.23 and we ask in addition that ALL those who currently host and mirror the latest version of x-battle mod to remove it from your download areas with immediate effect.
We are working on a replacement of the sound files concerned and will be releasing a new version of x-battle as soon as possible with legitimate enemysounds.
Please accept our apologies for these mistakes. | | Comments: 0 | [Add Comment] |
