I declare this the most epic thing I’ve seen in a long time! Made by Ryusei117 to whom all Kudos go to.

Hey folks! Today DXX-Rebirth v0.58 stood in front of my door and asked where I’ve been for so long. So we had a drink or two and decided it’s time to bring the new release out today. And here it is. This release is mainly fixes and improves some things but also holds a few new features.

Here are the most important changes:

•  Several fixes and improvements for Multiplayer – especially Coop savestates
• Sensitivity/Ramping sliders for keyboard input
• More efficient postional data for Multiplayer, making ship positions more accurate and require less traffic (Thanks to v66r)
• New file extension for AddOns (.dxa)
• Key combination ALT+ENTER will not work ingame anymore to not interrupt player input
• Command-line option to disable mouse cursor without disabling the mouse altogether
• Support for Raspberry Pi by derhass
• HUD style “no HUD”
• Fixes for lighting code which wasn’t updating correctly all the time
• Improvement for transparency effects that won’t make certain sprites disappear in front of bright surfaces
• Support for hmp tempo setting (Thanks to Yarn)
• Improvements and fixes for Shareware/Demo data
• Improvements for firing mechanism, keeping fire rate accurate at all FPS
• More fixes and improvements

As stated above, the filename extension for AddOns changed. You either need to re-download your AddOns or simply rename them from .zip to .dxa.

Also please note that right now there is not a Mac OS X release, yet. This will be released in a few days.

Get DXX-Rebirth v0.58 from the Downloads page and discuss the release in the forums.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
There is something seriously wrong with the Windows release. This is not – as far as I can tell – a bug in the code but a fault which was caused when compiling the game itself. It’s *not* a virus or such – I checked that already. However the Windows version seems to misbehave radically. Soon as I fixed this, the Windows release will be updated.

Hey guys,

Since I am getting overthrown by mails right now I am leaving a quick statement right here, right now:
At the moment, Downloads do not work. Version Control via bazaar doesn’t work either. That is because we were using Sourceforge for both and as of yesterday I closed our account there. Don’t worry, nothing is lost. I have backups of everything and I’ll upload the recent versions to this webspace. There won’t be a download archive until I find a better hosting place, tho. Version control will happen again, too, but that’ll take some days.

So right now, don’t worry.

EDIT: Downloads are working again.

If you have questions, feedback or critics on the downtime, please leave ’em in the forum post.
