OpenArena

OpenArena is a free and open source first-person shooter (FPS) computer game.

OpenArena's game play attempts to emulate Quake III Arena: score frags to win the game using a balanced set of weapons each designed for different situations. Guns include a chaingun, rocket launcher, shotgun, and railgun. The Quake III style of play is very fast and requires skill to be played successfully online.

OpenArena is available from the default repositories of a number of Linux distributions, including Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, and Ubuntu. It is also in development for the Maemo mobile operating system.

There is now a test OpenArena master server running, with both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity support.

• IPv6 clients see both IPv4 and IPv6 servers;
• IPv4 clients see IPv4 servers only.

The address is dpmaster.version6.ru.

The primary purpose of this dpmaster server is to prove that IPv6 support can be enabled on a public dpmaster without any disruption of service to IPv4-only gamers. It probably will be turned off if/when dpmaster.deathmask.net adds IPv6 support.

To try it out, enter

\sv_master2 "dpmaster.version6.ru"

in the console, then go to the Multiplayer menu, select «Servers: Internet (2)» at the top of the screen and click «Refresh» at the bottom.

If you run an IPv6-capable OpenArena dedicated server, you can use this master server in addition to dpmaster.deathmask.net, in this case add to your server config:

sv_master2 "dpmaster.version6.ru"

and your server will register on both dpmasters automatically.

For testing purposes the following hostnames are also available:

• dpmaster6.version6.ru - IPv6 address only;
• dpmaster4.version6.ru - IPv4 address only.

This (dirty hack) is required only if you intend to run your own IPv6-capable OpenArena Master Server.
