The long-anticipated arrival of simple items provides 2D rendering of sprites for item pickups instead of models, allowing items to be identifiable from a much further distance.
This release also includes many new competitive-oriented features. This implementation also lets us bend the playermodel skeleton based on the direction they are looking, which provides a seamless appearence of where other players are aiming. This means we can show a specific walking direction on the legs and play an attacking animation on the torso simultaneously. Because of this we can now play two separate animations on a player at the same time.
XONOTIC DUEL FULL
Our last release ushered in a new wave of possibilities with client-side rendering of players which allowed us to implement full animation blending to playermodel rendering, among other unique features. Other game modes such as Clan Arena, Arena, Last Man Standing, Onslaught, Assault, Freezetag, Nexball, and Domination have also received updates for bugs, minor features, and relocations to the mutator system. New gameplay elements such as flag-passing and stalemates have been introduced along with new visual effects and game notification messages. Xonotic 0.7 features updates to the classic game modes that define the game, including a complete rewrite of Capture The Flag.
