Euroboros Community Sessions - Week #44: Alphatius Deathmatch [Q-Zandronum]

 

Greetings! We are announcing this week's ECS a day earlier, so people have time to install and configure Q-Zandronum for this week's session!

In this week's Euroboros Community Session we are playing deathmatch in Alphatius, using the latest version 1.4.2 of Q-Zandronum!

 

The session commences this Sunday, May 7th 2023, at 8PM CET / 2PM EST!

 

You will need the latest version of Q-Zandronum to join this week's session:

1. Go to Q-Zandronum's website and choose the correct download for your OS.

2. Unzip the contents of the zip file to your desired location. This location will be your Q-Zandronum installation folder.

3. Go to the Doomseeker folder of Q-Zandronum and open doomseeker.exe. This is your Q-Zandronum server browser.

4. When the session starts, search for the server name (found in the Euroboros Discord, link below) in Q-Zandronum's Doomseeker.

 

Q-Zandronum is a fork of Zandronum 3.0 developed by geNia, with a few features backported from Zandronum 3.1, featuring netcode improvements, such as clientside prediction as an adjustable server netcode setting; and additional code for player movement. It was originally developed for Quake Champions: Doom Edition to make custom movement code similar to different Quake games, which is where the Q comes from in Q-Zandronum. Euroboros uses the latest version of Q-Zandronum, which currently is 1.4.2.

Alphatius is an Arena-FPS-styled gameplay mod for Q-Zandronum developed by Aura! It features high-skill weaponry inspired by the Quake and Unreal Tournament series, as well as movement and combat abilities that can all be combined in different ways! There are no ammo pickups, but instead ammo regenerates back after a couple seconds of trigger discipline. The same applies for the abilities when not constantly used, but an extra use of a movement ability can be acquired from red movement pickups.

The skill ceiling of Alphatius is very high. Mastering the weapons and abilities will take time and effort just like every Arena-FPS, but combining them in different ways should still make for a fun run for first timers!
