XConsole 2.5.0 rc1 is available for testing.
What is an 'rc'? It's short for release candidate, which means that it's a kind of testing version before the full 2.5.0 is released (think beta).
We'll see how we get on with bugs and then release an rc2 etc. until no more glaring errors are found (or people give up caring) and release the 2.5.0 final.
Please use this thread for reporting bugs etc.
=============================
Installation
------------
For new users who don't already have XConsole:
Information on XConsole and a few screenshots are here:
http://www.unrealize.co.uk/index.php?xconsole
Install:
1) Install version 3.4.8 from here:
http://www.unrealize.co.uk/cgi-bin/downloader/dl.pl?id=xconsole.zip
2) Grab rc1 from:
http://www.unrealize.co.uk/xconsole/xconsole3.5.0rc1.zip and replace XConsole.u with the one in this and put in place the other files, replacing where necesary.
-----------
For people that already have XConsole installed:
1) BACKUP your old files: XConsole.u, XConsole.ini, XMacros.ini, UnrealTournament.ini.
Do (2) above.
There are some extra files that come with XConsole now:
Textures\XFonts.utx - custom fixed width Deja Vu fonts. They make the console text much clearer and better aligned.
System\XConsoleHelp.ini - now help is stored in a separate text file.
System\Radiobox.u - Wormbo's radiobox class used in the config window.
XConsole.int has changed slightly and now the UT advanced options (type 'preferences') shows an XConsole section and some editable settings.
