| Great | 2.2b | 0.8.1+ |
The Excessive Plus (E+) version 2.x series - November 2009 - marked the first time that the Mod was made in both Q3 and OA versions. Previously, the qvm file needed to be modified to run the version 1.x series. The Mod has excellent compatibility with OA 0.8.1, 0.8.5, and 0.8.8 RC1 build 111119. Some of the latest optional features include: 01. Quake Live physics, 02. Cylindric hitboxes, 03. A new anti-cheat system to catch most of the annoying aim bots and auto-shoot hacks, 04. An expanded callvote configuration giving server admins absolute control, 05. Frame-rate independent physics to make the game generally more fair, especially to those with less powerful hardware and slower Internet connections, 06. A new console which allows players to see proper clan tags with extended styles applied, which should make the whole thing more readable/useful. Being an dirty engine hack, this might fail for some, so to get back the original console, simply set xp_drawConsole "0". 07. Control of ambient sounds (xp_ambient) and enemy sounds (xp_enemySound "gargoyle"). Better alignment of enemy models to their actual hitbox (xp_modelScale) and during jumping animations (xp_modelJump). |
Windows XP and newer, Linux (certainly all major distros), and Mac OS. |
