Outgun / News: Recent posts

Our current development code is now available as a test version at http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/1.0/test/ . Calling it version 1.0.4 is still far away, so we decided to let everyone look at the work in progress.

New test versions will be released much more frequently from now on, but only major features will be reported outside that page.

Outgun 1.0.3 as originally released had an annoying error in the Portuguese translation. New packages for 1.0.3 are now available, with a fixed languages/ptBR.txt.

If you're downloading now, get one of the packages with _fix1 in their name; the original version (on all platforms) can be patched by downloading Outgun_1.0.3_fix1.zip and replacing languages/ptBR.txt with the one within.

Outgun 1.0.3 fixes bugs of 1.0.2, some of them nasty. It is fully compatible with previous releases of 1.0.

The most noticeable changes include enhancements to the user interface: more resolutions, changeable font, and others; server options for delaying flag return and setting a required score difference; and an Allegro-free Linux dedicated server. More information is available at http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/1.0/

Outgun 1.0.2 fixes quite many bugs of 1.0.1, and is recommended for both players and servers. It is fully compatible with 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.

The most noticeable changes include server options for balancing uneven teams and locking flags, and fixes to some problems with slow or buggy graphics. There are also more maps shipped with the game. More information is available at http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/1.0/

Outgun 1.0.1 fixes bugs that were quickly found in 1.0.0 thanks to the increased amount of players and games. This update is fully compatible with both clients and servers of version 1.0.0, and of little use unless you run a server.

The noticeable changes apart from bugfixes include changeable player fadeout on the minimap, support to some more NAT-using clients, and sending more information to the server monitor program. More information is available at http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/1.0/

Outgun 1.0.0 is the result of over a year's work after 0.5.0-E. Many bugs of previous versions are fixed, and there are very many new features. Only the basic gameplay hasn't changed dramatically. More information is available at http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/1.0/

We hope to see a rapid growth in the amount of both players and servers, now that Outgun is more stable, good looking, and feature-rich than ever. If you like it, tell your friends about it - Outgun is not a good single-player game!

Nix and Huntta are developing new versions of Outgun, adding cool features and stuff. Check it out! Version 0.5.0-E is already available, which is fully compatible with 0.5.0.

NOTE: Outgun's installer and sourcecode is for both the client and the server. There are no separate client/server downloads. To run the game as a dedicated server, just start it with "-ded" in the command line.
