Q3Rally v0.6 shifts into high gear with new game modes, teamplay upgrades, a refreshed audio-visual package, and loads of balance and content updates that keep the racing fierce and the arenas loud.
π₯ Highlights
New Elimination Mode: A tense knockout race mode where the slowest driver gets eliminated after each interval. Customizable server settings (g_eliminationStartDelay, g_eliminationInterval, g_eliminationWarning) let you control the countdown pace. HUD prompts and scoreboard tracking keep every second dramatic.
Audio & Presentation Overhaul: Enjoy a rotating jukebox soundtrack with .ogg support, new menu music, cleaner shaders, widescreen-ready map previews, and a refined interface from top to bottom.
βοΈ Gameplay & Balance
Bots can now be toggled live with bot_enable β no restart required.
Adjusted weapon balance: refined telefrag railgun, homing rockets, and tighter shotgun/plasmagun behavior.
Improved race logic in Time Trial, Derby, and Last Car Standing modes β including fairer placements and fixed intermission cameras.
HUD/UI refinements: sharper speedometers, smoother transitions, cleaner server info screens, and better minimap scaling.
Updated maps and textures, bug fixes for q3r_babel and q3r_david4, and improved .arena metadata for clean map rotation.
Quality-of-life additions: cg_autodrop works again, stalled cars finish automatically after 30 seconds without fuel, and /jukebox brings random playlist toggling straight to your console.
π₯οΈ Server & Tools
Dedicated servers now ship with ready-to-use map rotation presets and an updated cross-platform launcher that exposes the new Elimination mode for quick setup.
