Warzone 2100 logoOn April 1st, the Warzone 2100 team released 2.1.3 of the game - no, this is not an April Fool's hoax Smiling Warzone 2100 is a post-apocalyptic strategy game with campaign and skirmish modes, for single and multi-player. In this new version some of the changes include:

  • Fixed issue that prevented information about enemy research to be shared between hosts
  • Fixed crashes in netlog code, path-finding, pregame chat, and burning scavengers
  • Players no longer drop from game after too much data has been sent, usually happens in long games
  • New map 4c-Urban-Chaos and water tiles on little egypt map fixed

Also including the new terrain renderer which we mentioned back in January. For more details about Warzone 2100, and where to get it, on our game page - http://gameboom.net/games/warzone-2100

    Turns out it's pretty simple, you need to install X11 first, but I'll still add a guide explaining X11. Some people (like me) were a bit confused by X11 at first.

    I hope it's a really fun game.

    that's not a fair comparison. for starters WZ2100 is an RTS game, Nex and Trem are FPS. And the whole point of us being here is to help these cool games to be known and popular. I would like to have a free game to replace C&C and WZ2100 is getting closer to that with every release.

    Some people would argue Trem is dead too. But people still play it because it's fun.

    But WZ has no online multiplayer, just a strong singleplayer. Being dead wouldn't change a thing. Btw, anyone know why punkbuster is giving me problems in Wolfenstein: ET, it never was like that before...
    no?
    you can all go to hell.

    (1) The OS X version works pretty much the same as the GNU/Linux version does, just with slightly different controls due to the traditional Mac mouse.

    (2) Who doesn't know about X11? It might confuse some people a little bit if they're new to FOSS, but why do you need a guide for setting it up?

    (3) Yes, yes it does have a multiplayer. The lobby doesn't work particularly well, but go to #warzone2100 and there are many people trying to set up a game. A lot of people from Tremulous play WZ2100 with other people in that community, as well.

    There are many people who don't know aboot X11, eh. You won't believe how many friends houses I've been to, just to show them what X11 was. (I've been showing them GIMP, eh. Plus Ghost asked to post any extra steps to playing the game, eh. Plus it never hurts to have a guide, eh. Plus when Y3K comes next year, and Gameboom is all that's left, I shall be known as a god and all shall worship me, eh.)

    I got the latest svn trunk from this which btw is version 2.2.0 now eh? It's good, it looks like a decent single player. IF I get to play good I might go search for a battle on irc.
