![]() There are new maps and other game improvements for those enjoying this open-source first person shooter, but of course we're most interested in the benchmark numbers. Because of the sym-linking, the config stuff is effectively written direct to the portable anyway. The Xonotic 0.8.2 release focused on mostly game-play changes and assets rather than any big engine overhauls, but still makes for an interesting test case. When you shut down, the sym-link is deleted again. If you run it via the 'LAUNCH' script, it creates this config directory within the portable itself, sym-linking it out to the expected location at run-time. You can if you wish run the AppImage straight off as-is if you do this, it creates a permanent config directory in /root. A 'portable' directory, containing the AppImage and a 'LAUNCH' script. I've built these the same way as some other stuff in recent days. Our objective is to build an accurate Xonotic frame rate chart that lets PC gamers select from any Nvidia or AMD graphics card series. It's those data directories that use all the space, hitting the 870 MB mark.and those can't be removed. Its gameplay is inspired by Unreal Tournament and. ![]() The game runs on a heavily modified version of the Quake engine known as the DarkPlaces engine. It was developed as a fork of Nexuiz, following controversy surrounding the game's development. I've re-built both of these as AppImages (my fave format!), courtesy of Fred's new scripts (cheers, Fred!) I investigated stripping-out the irrelevant Windows & MacOS binaries'n'stuff, but it would have only saved around 35 MB off the size. Xonotic ( / zontk, kso -/) 2 is a free and open-source 3 first-person shooter video game. Even so, I understand this is quite svelte by the standards of many AAA-title games.!! It's a 'portable' directory of sorts, containing both 32-bit & 64-bit, Windows, MacOS & Linux binaries.and is pretty humungous in size, tipping the scales at a little over 1 GB in total. It comes as standard as a zipped download. I first found this one about 3 years ago the old Compaq used to really struggle with this, 'cos the onboard ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chip was pretty basic, even though it was considered 'cutting-edge' when released in the early 2000s. Xonotic has always been available for both 64- AND 32-bit, but does benefit from a discrete GPU it's a bit too much for many older machines' built-in graphics. This one is 64-bit only, but runs without issue in most 64-bitzers. Red Eclipse, I found just a few days ago it comes as an AppImage, discovered over at. You have to try them for yourself, though, to see if they're your cup of tea.īoth of these have Linux ports, and both run straight off in several Puppies. Xonotic & Red Eclipse have both been around for something like a decade now both founded around 2010/2011, and both follow the same kind of format. The two I'll mention here today are both semi-classics, although perhaps not that well-known. If I do, it's almost always an FPS or a driving game of some sort. I'll have perhaps the odd half-hour or so, here & there, if I'm in the mood. We know spam when we see it and will delete it.I know I always say I'm not a gamer.
