Vlad, it would be possible to just assume the ng protocol version, but we won't do that. The fxi server doesn't start supporting the ng protocol features in the same order as ng did. We don't want to create a havoc in versioning.

The first addition is cumulative turning. It appeared in the ng protocol version 0x4F13. After the addition I'm changing the version of the fxi protocol to 0x4E00. From now on, the range 0x4E00 - 0x4EFF will be used for fxi-specific protocols. The source code of this modified server isn't included i...

As of version 1.4.6~1 the server talks protocol version 0x4501. Now I'm working on optimizations which some players asked for. Most of them are already present in the ng protocol, but I'm not going to transfer them in the same order as they were added originally. This thread is the right place to di...

As a side-note, one thing which has to be done before publishing an arbitrary XPilot recording is making sure whether it contains any sensitive data, e.g. in players' private messages. I'm adding a simple message filtering tool to the TODO list

A few simple things which can be done:
- make lines thicker, so that they are still visible clearly after encoding to a lossful format
- same about text - the font should offer thick letters
- apply anti-aliasing

To increase the popularity of XPilot, we need to publish more recordings on popular video services like YouTube or Google Video. But this is not so easy. XPilot recordings use an own vector format. Any recording can be saved as a set of bitmaps (one per frame) and then put together into a video. If ...

During my work on the FXI codebase I've done some changes not everyone was happy about. I address that after hearing complaints, but some solutions are still not good enough. Let's discuss the possibilities. 1) Abrupt change of view after dying Problem: After a player runs out of lives, the view is ...

Most of you have probably witnessed annoying situations where some player swaps or pauses when he is about to lose the treasure. Recently I have been working on mechanisms which could prevent such behaviour. The current git code does not allow to pause or swap from a team which has any treasure miss...
