Nexuiz is a stand-alone game using the Darkplaces engine. The recently released second version is a 200 meg download, and includes Linux and Windows binaries, source code, and a new campaign mode. .:: www.link-man.org ::.
This engine makes use of many advanced lighting features, so users with less powerful video cards should try disabling these to run the game at a decent speed.

This project now works for me, and is looking very nice.
As well and as GL, X11 and SVGA clients, it has serious graphical and game-play enhancements and some nice documentation. It is definately a project to keep up with.
Sound may be an issue. It defaults to ALSA but to start with OSS try: " .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. ezquake-gl.glx +set s_device /dev/dsp". To compile the GL client, type "make glx". You may have to change the Makefile thus:
- LDFLAGS = -lm -lpthread + LDFLAGS = -lm -lpthread -L/usr/X11R6/lib

Small, simple changes that improve the quality of netplay enormously. ProQuake is fully compatible with standard NetQuake. .... ProQuake is also fully compatible with the advanced features of Clanring CRMod++ version 6.0." .:: jo.enrollbusiness.com ::.
