| Due to this popular Brazilian website: http://www.baixaki.com.br/ advertising XR (with Savage 2 screenshots) and hot linking to our main download mirror which also runs Newerth.com, we have had no choice other than to remove the windows XR RC3 installer. This short term measure has been taken so that we do not have to pay for bandwidth overages. The predicated bandwidth usage for this month is 5 times over our limit and would cost $2000-3000, which would close this site indefinitely. We apologise for the inconvenience and are implementing a work around to this issue.

| Savage: XR 1.0 RC3 Released! December 25, 2009, 06:49:59 am by Django |
Newerth.com Development Team, of over 30 people, is pleased to announce the 3rd Release Candidate (RC3) of Savage XR Version 1.0, the next generation content patch for the popular RTSS, Savage: The Battle for Newerth (aka Savage 1). Happy holidays to all! After much testing and stability profiling, we are finally releasing the XR server files! Polls have shown that XR is now at least as stable as SFE. As server admins start switching to XR, players will be able to start enjoying maps made especially for XR! Overview of the XR server features - Supports new XR props (Aztec theme, Arabic theme...) - Supports XR physics objects (boulders, crates...). - Supports triggers & special effects emitters. - New NPCs (shrull, crawler, ronin, macaque, panda) - New Bots system. - New private vote type, visible only to own team (/callvote msgcomm) - New Skill capping system (optional). - New Veteran Nerfing system (optional). - Integrated Mods: Samurai Wars, Extreme, Ex2. Bots in Savage! Server admins can now include bots on their servers. The bots are still experimental, but they promise to be useful on servers with few players (2-4). They can be made to automatically replace players when there are less than a given number in each team. Below is a video showing what 32v32 bots looks like! Ex2 integrated into XR The Ex2 mod is being rescripted & recoded into XR. Unique Ex2 features include: - Ability to drop weapons/items on the ground. - Up hill Leaping with beasts. Ex2 style melee has not been reproduced yet, but we hope to work on that between now and the next release. We have setup a server where you can play Ex2 24/7 (Ex2 Revival Server). Client Improvements - New: Tutorials We have created the first tutorial map, in a planned series of between 6 and 8 in total. You will notice the new tutorial button in the main menu. - New FPS player HUD. - New Melee icons for all units. - Improved Hall of Fame (accuracy panel). - New script command playSound to play sound files from mods - Savage XR can be built as native 64bit binaries - More robust sound subsystem initialization - Dynamic loadout presets which remember the items you last used. - Experimental VOIP support (currently disabled due to crashing, will be fixed soon). - New file I/O subsystem - New story board, introducing the player to the Savage world. - Spectating players even when they're in loadout. Bug Fixes - Fixed Editor crashing all the time. - Fixed crash with loading demo and reloading the GUI. - Fixed Sliders-GUI. (Bug #311) - Fixed player_kills & player_deaths, they no longer update while spectating. - Fixed sound device selection. - Fixed Linux sound to default to ALSA - Fixed translucency (Bug #307) - Fixed minimap lagging - Fixed autoupdater memory and connectivity errors. How do I get Savage XR Release Candidate 3? If you already have Savage XR installed, the Auto-Updater will take care of updating your client to RC3. If you haven't installed Savage XR yet you can get it form our download section. If you experience any issues with the Auto Updater please uninstall your current copy of Savage XR and download and install a fresh copy of RC3 as these installers fix several issues with the old RC2 autoupdater. ___________________________________ How do I use the new HUD features? (ingame interface) 1. Changing HUDs (Heads-Up Display = the bars, values and indicators in FPS mode) Go to Options/System/Game/Game/Ingame FPS HUD interface skin and select one of the 4 available HUDs: - Hi-Res (the brand new high-detail, high resolution graphical HUD) - Arcade (video game style HUD with high contrast and large fonts) - Smoke (low profile HUD, maximizing play area, everything moved down) - Legacy (the old Savage HUD, exactly like it was on previous versions) You can also adjust the transparency (HUD Alpha) for the Arcade and Smoke HUD elements backgrounds. 2. I can't get used to the right side HP bar, what do i do? Enable the Options/System/Game/Game/Left Side HP Bar setting. It will move the HP bar to the left, for all the new HUDs (Hi-Res, Arcade and Smoke). But remember, Hi-Res HUD is designed to offer the gamer faster info, done by looking only to one side of the screen, not pendulating between left and right margins. Also, the Legacy HUD has the HP bar fixed on the left side of the screen, just like SFE. 3. What's the colored circle around the crosshair? To further speed up HUD feedback, the 3 important bars (HP, Stamina and Ammo/Mana) are displayed around the Crosshair. You can disable it by setting Options/Game/Crosshair/Crosshair Info Mode to None, or change it between modes (Ring, Numbers, Vertical, Horizontal or Mixed bars). You can also change its transparency from the next dropdown menu, Crosshair Info Alpha. 4. Other new features - You can now select between a collection of 36 different crosshairs (Options/Game/Crosshair/Choose Crosshair). - Alpha and Size parameters are now independently adjustable for both Crosshair icon and background. - If you want more free screen real estate in duel modes, make sure Options/Game/Game/Hide TOP in Duels option is enabled. - Different modes for displaying FPS (Instant, Average, Server FPS, Instant+Average, Instant+Server, all of them) |

| Savage XR RC3 delayed November 15, 2009, 09:41:36 pm by Hethrep |
| All went not well testing the RC3 of Savage XR, so today, the 15th of November will not see the announced release. We sincerely apologize. The changes to the auto updater require more testing with regard to stability, as does the installer. Furthermore, an XR developer central to these aspects of the game caught the flu, which for now slows down development considerably. We think the delay will amount to about two weeks. Sorry again, loyal players! |

| Savage XR RC3 Update November 01, 2009, 08:54:35 pm by Django |
| Its been a while since our last update on the progress of Savage XR and would like to take this opportunity to create a news post to inform you of our progress on Release Candidate 3 (RC3) and our vision of where we want to take XR development in the next few months. Savage XR RC3 We are only a few weeks away from releasing RC3 and have set ourselves and provisional release date of 15th November (Mohican's birthday!) if all goes well. The main additions that will be present in RC3 are as follows: o The release of XR Server which will see:
o A Tutorial map for the Human Legion We have also fixed several critical bugs including issues with the auto-updater, the latest graphic card vendor drivers supporting OpenGL 3.0, and the editor crashing regularly. These have been added to RC2 as hot fixes but we will also be releasing new installers for all XR variants for people still experiencing issues with updating. Further information on new features, content, bug fixes and a full change log will be provided on the release day of RC3. XR Server Migration With the aim of providing a smooth transition for admins planning to migrate over to using the XR server we have provided the template configuration file used to set one up here. This should give you an indication of any changes you will have to make to your current SFE configuration. The Future of XR? We plan on this being the last Release Candidate of XR before the production version (aka Savage XR v1.0) is made generally available. In this period our main priority will be concentrating on fixing bugs (particularly with the server and editor) and performance related issues to meet your high expectations on stability and the same system requirements and performance as that of SFE. We will also be polishing features and content that we've been working on for some time but are incomplete. These are likely to be:
We can't make any guarantees that these will be done in time for v1.0 but hope that most will with the aim of motivating people to utilise XR over older versions of the game. After the general release of Savage XR v1.0 we plan to organise a community push to advertise Savage XR through social networking and freeware communities, with the aim of increasing the size of our own player base. If you have any other ideas on ways to advertise or what aspects of Savage should and should not be advertised, please feel free to discuss them with us on the comments section of this news post. Continuing the theme of extending our user base we are in desperate need of Apple Mac and 64bit XR variant maintainers. If your interested in helping out please take a look at our vacancies here. So what next after the release of XR v1.0? We plan to increase community participation in submitting high quality user created content to be integrated into the game and will be creating an XR map competition, with a prizes, where the best maps will be placed on a dedicated XR server, running only new maps. Finally we will be placing great emphasis on re-evaluating the future direction of development using feedback from the community. Further details of theses initiatives will be made available nearer the time. Drk's Savage Show Case Video Last but not least, Drk of the Sun clan has recently created an excellent show case movie of Savage. So while you wait for RC3 check it out and show your mates, we think its wicked sick! |

This news is all a little late because no one has had time to write it. HoN is shaping up to be HUGE in comparison to the Savage series with more then 25,000 players online at peak times. Hopefully HoN will be very popular and shed some light on XR. What is Heroes of Newerth? Heroes of Newerth is S2Games next title heavily based on the popular Warcraft 3 mod, Defense of The Ancients (DotA). Two teams of up to five players each take the role of a Hero unit for the entire match. They are assisted with AI-controlled units referred to as creeps. Each team must destroy the other team's base, much like in Savage. As a match progresses, players earn gold and experience to help make their Hero more powerful. HoN is an incredibly deep, tactical team-based game with some very addictive game-play. All Newerth.com users receive beta keys! S2Games has sent ALL Newerth.com users a beta key for HoN. Maybe this will stop the begging in the HoN boards? Actually I doubt it. Anyways, you should be able to play with all your Savage friends now and show them how pro you are... or wish you were. Heroes of Newerth Official Site Launched and Debut Trailer Recently S2Games launched the official website for Heroes of Newerth along with a debut trailer which can be seen here. The website currently shows what heroes you can use with detailed information about their skills and statistics. There is also similar information for items and recipes. There is a media page showing a heap of concept art and screenshots, as well as any official trailers. Then you can see links to areas which are not yet finished, they are: wiki, replays and maps. You can view the website here. The website also outlines the various features that HoN will have including a map editor. If it is good enough to attract modders (I know it already has on Newerth.com) then we might see some nice new maps, heroes, mods and who knows what else. Ability to Pre Purchase and NDA Lifted Recently S2Games added the ability for beta testers to pre purchase Heroes of Newerth. Here is a statement from the man in charge.
The NDA has also been lifted so feel free to chat, post pics, videos, etc, wherever you want! DO NOT REQUEST BETA KEYS HERE! |

There is only one remaining stability issue with the XR server, that is also present in SFE server, the servers crash when more than 96 client slots are set and the 97th+ slot is occupied.

Other improvements - Improved Hall of Fame interface. - Improved Frames Graphics. - Adjusted Location of Vote, Squad, Minimap Panels... - Added inventory icons for all siege weapons. - Added its own melee inventory slot icon for each unit. - Added new ref commands for officer promote/demote. - Added Toggle button in Game Options called "Use Build/Mine Anims" - Added default Time of Day setting so that shaders show on poorly made maps with these settings. Bug Fixes - Fixed SFE clients not able to play ts_ maps on XR servers - Fixed commander elect statistics - Fixed a server crash related to officer state persistence. - Fixed a bug sometimes preventing Players from changing squad. - Fixed a bug sometimes preventing Players from opting-out of Squad System. - Fixed Memory leaks in physics features of the XR server. - Fixed green coloured sacrifice boom effect. - Fixed: XR crashing when Player gets on Commander Seat and selects/deselects units. - Fixed: After mining stone or gold, Players dont receive the order to drop ressources at nearest base/gar. - Fixed: When dropping stones at base, no notification is given out. - Fixed Server Lags caused by memory leaks. - Fixed "Balanced Team" getting disabled on XR servers whenever game restarts. - Fixed broken Disruptor animation. - Fixed Effects bugs by increasing effects slots (Burning Ammo...). - Fixed Dynamic objects not interacting with World when grabbed by a Client that then dies. - Fixed Award Table bug in Rmod. - Fixed on-the-fly effects editing with "efedit". - Fixed Editor GUI path for Rmod Editor.

If you haven't installed Savage XR yet you can get it form our download section. If you experience any issues with the Auto Updater please post on your Tech Support forum. |
