utf8 (russian and other) text draw on hud messages not correctly, even if hud_utf8 is 1. this problem has not been solved even now in the new fork from fwgs. russian community has been waiting for this for a long time

Why did you block my server? What happened?

I saw a server that can show bots in the server list and I would like to do that.
Is there a way to show the bots on the server in the server list?

i would like to have a separate line for entering commands in the server console on linux to make it more convenient write text. thanks in advance

When compiling the win32 dedicated server executable, the build fails with cannot find -lWs2_32

solution
looks like Ws2_32 has to be lower case in engine/CMakeLists.txt:

I wrote a blogpost about this to document it for myself and others, in case you need some more information :) : https://deltalima.org/blog/index.php/2024/01/17/howto-xcompile-xash3d-ng-for-reactos-on-linux/

There is new script is called the crash script that some uses it to their advantage to either boost their servers or eliminate their haters and rivals on the xash servers community, our server recently have been facing multiple attacks by some people who hate us, we contacted some people and they said use tyabus files but our server runs with temiz files so it doesn't work and converting it would take a long time and sacrifice some plugins such as (nademodes) which is important to our ze server, even if we did they also have more scripts such as (High ping script) also blocking their ip doesn't work because they keep on changing it and would also leads the server to straight death, this script have been around for long time but surprised no one talks about it, all what i am asking for is for xash devs to update their servers and make it more secure and safe environment for others creators to be creative and create their own server safely without any threats facing them, because this is cs1.6 the game we love, some can't afford pc to play it, that's why xash was an idea or ported in the first place.

This is usually not a problem, but for example when using amxmodx with gungame, it tries to send a "svc_finale" message with index 31, while in xash3d index 31 is "svc_modelindex" causing a crash.

I couldn't come up with somewhat decent name for our fork, so, i've decided to create issue to see if anyone can suggest anything decent.

That appears in the terminal. What am I doing wrong?

After starting the server everything works fine. But after changing the map, the server crashes when the player leaves the server. I have this problem only with this engine.

(xash3d.sh engine has no write permission)

Hello. When using the xashds -game cstrike command, this error appears - Error: Unknown option -game. How do I fix it?

After introducing af21475 hack, demos now do play, but hud elements still dosen't get drawn at all.

Help. An error occurs while compiling the xash. See the screenshot for the error.

баг с тачем смена строн и тач профилем, кнопки которые на смене сторон не кликабельные есть переменые setcolor и все.

Hello. I need your help. The assembly of xash does not start. I threw your assembly into usr/bin, but it still does not respond to the xashds -game cstrike command. Please help me solve this problem.
