Re: Banning inaccessible servers from the meta list

I think filtering these servers out at the meta server would cause confusion, since the server option reportMeta would no longer (explicitly) do what it means. Changing the default value to false is a good idea and easy to implement. Unfortunately, it could take a long time for existing servers get ...

Re: Poor 2D performance with linux radeon driver

Re: Poor 2D performance with linux radeon driver

Just curious, could you try the performance in the SDL client while 3D acceleration is on?

Re: `Newbie Academy' - a practice map mainly for Xpilot newb

Interesting.. it can also teach some more advanced players that it is necessary to drop the ball sometimes :-)

There is a server up and running at xpilot.ktd.krakow.pl:15385 - enjoy!

Re: A new XPilot server

Haha! Nice to see you are still around. Thanks for testing. Since there is no big difference in responsiveness between that server and rotunda.wibro.agh.edu.pl, perhaps for now I will leave the latter on, running ng.

For starters, check out this server: XPilot.ktd.krakow.pl (IP: 80.69.175.11 port: 15345) NOTE: the hostname might change at a later time. We wil...
