Features

• Many game modes (Deathmatch, Capture-the-flag, Defend-and-control, Bomber-ball, Race) with a lot of mutators (too many to list) which give you variations into almost infinity.
• Built-in editor lets you edit and create maps together online.
• Amazing movement system. Seriously, watch the speedrunning bits in the trailer.
• Free licence.

Will this game work on my computer?

If you use: Linux: Client and server work and are precompiled in the zip file. OpenBSD: It works but you need to compile it. Other operating systems: you need to compile the source code and it may or may not work.

History of the game

This game is based on Red Eclipse 1.6. When that game was developed into version 2, a group of players who preferred the gameplay in 1.6 forked that version. The fork was called Blue Nebula and was developed for a while without making many big changes. Fragility is a fork of Blue Nebula and it is my attempt at improving the things that can be improved without being limited by backwards compatibility.

Goals of Fragility

• Keep the game running fast on efficient computers.
• Improve quality and accuracy for better competitive gameplay.
• Preserve the amazing gameplay mechanics.
• Improve the looks and usability.
• Decentralise the game to make it usable in smaller communities where there is a higher trust.
• Develop a funding strategy that allows full-time work while preserving freedom for the user.

The name "Fragility"

The name is a combination of what this game is mostly about: fragging and agility.

Source code

The source code is included in the zip file with the game. It is written in the C++ and C languages. You can also clone this git repository.

Changelog

Changes in 1.7, compared to 1.6:

• Fixed aim being slightly off caused by muzzle not being in the same position as camera.
• Shorter cooldown after impulse move before you can slide.
• Changed weapon damage values (generally more damage).
• Changed zapper secondary fire to not cause shock effect.
• Changed when and how fast impulse is regenerated.
• Decreased speed of walking and crawling.
• Made it possible to combine hold capture-the-flag with defend and quick.

• Server browser now searches local network by default.

Changes in 1.6, compared to the fork from Blue Nebula:

• Fixed collision bug when wallrunning.
• Improved search engine for variables lets you search using multiple words, e.g. "smg name" gives you both the smgname and smglongname variables.
• Possible to specify mutators in a nicer way in commands that start or vote for matches, like "dm echo su ha" for survivor-hard deathmatch on echo.
• Improved scrollbars: You don't need to keep cursor on them.
• New look (background image, loadout menu, other menus, crosshairs, weapon colours).
• New editing compass menu options.
• Starting a game with random mutators selects fewer mutators so you don't get insane combinations.
• New dashstyle value 2 to dash when double tapping only when crouching.
• Don't send information about client computer specs to server and other clients.
• Renamed capture-the-flag mutator "protect" to "hold".
• Disabled network throttling which caused lag.
