I just got one of those small game updates and I noticed it works with the mod now.  Just wondering how did the dev team get them to do it, did they contact xfire or did xfire just see how many servers and so on are up and started to support it? Also for you guys that don't have it yet you have to go to the files tab and join the xfire updates category or something like that

This is something I have been bugging them about on their game request forum for a while (and I'm sure lots of other people have as well, or emailed them etc).

It works properly, but there is 1 small thing some people may need to deal with (because I did). And that is, if you have multiple ioUrbanTerror.exe's on your computer, xfire might choose the wrong one.  Specifically, I used to play io right out of my q3 directory because I had io along side q3. But now I have a fresh install of just urt in a separate directory from my q3 - but I never deleted the first io. So xfire chose my wrong io. This is easy to fix, you just go into the options games and change the directory to the right one.

FINALLY xfire supports UrT!  :-D

Hmm???  But I'm pretty sure if you do that then all you've done is tricked xfire into thinking it's quake 3 (which xfire supported for a long time). When you play does xfire show your status as Quake 3, or Urban Terror?

Yep your right my bad, BUT if you do that and launch urban terror from xfire it works fine for some odd reason. But I kinda like setting it as quake3 cause xfire then keeps stats on my profile :-D

But there's already quake 3 support in xfire, so you might as well just use quake 3 :P  (Unless you don't own it... but, I can't see why you'd want it to look like you're playing quake 3 when you are playing urban terror... but anyways, back on topic I would hope 99.9% of people would leave it so it says they are playing Urban Terror.)


@alpha,  Xfire is basically an instant messenger like msn except it allows you to see what games your friends are playing, and you can click on their name to see the scores and player list on the server, or you can click and join them in that server (xfire will launch UrT and join the server). So it's a good way for clans to chat and stick together because they will always know if and where their clan mates are playing so they can go join them.  Also it has a server browser but I never use that part.

There's no server browser support or one click join.. or screenshot support.  Hopefully this will be added in the near future.

Although, I'm not holding my breath. :-(

I'm hoping they also add screenshot support soon.  I think if everyone that played UT joined XFire, we might have a shot at making it onto their stats pages.
