OpenSpades
Offering new enhancements, features, and content, OpenSpades is an open source OpenGL-based
alternative client of the original Voxlap Ace of Spades Classic 0.75 client. It's compatible with PySnip/pyspades, which means you can use it to play on all
AoS 0.75 servers listed on BuildAndShoot.com. Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Leagues
[/b]
This is the last week to qualify for the playoffs. We will have matches through Sunday Sept 1st. As of this writing a team needs 10 points to qualify. Remember the top 8 teams move on to the playoffs. The playoffs will be an 8 team seeded bracket.
Maps
Abordage by Heracles4
Abordage is a small arena map that doesn't try to be something its not. The map has two ships, one for each team, then a bridge connecting the two. This guarantees confrontation but the map still has areas around the hull if you want to try and take cover. Overall a good map for arena but it only works for arena.
"a bit of everything" by lelue
"a bit of everything" is something that surprisingly has a bit of everything. From hills to trees to even small indention's in the terrain and towers for cover this map has everything a good map has. This is one of those maps that has almost everything done correctly. You can play using every play style with not one route being over powered. There is enough low points so that you can't just rush out but the high points and cost side make it so that you don't have to play it sneaky ether. You also have building for cover. Good job Lelue!
Scripts
vxlgen, a labyrinth generator
by ponce
This script generates a huge multistory tower, which has a maze of random passageways inside.
See more screen shots.
Get the script.
Front Page and Nav Menu Changes
We are in the process of consolidating the multiple serverlist pages to one page. Basically the landing page will have everything you need in order to find the server you want to play on. Be it 0.76 or not. The large single AoS trailer has been replaced with 4 much smaller trailers.
We also consolidating the multiple download options to one, just the bns launcher. Soon it will include the both versions of ace of spades we support.

Yeah Pingu. Great job! That surely took a long time.
