Well, the Xfire team has added in-game support to tremulous. For those who dont know, this lets you use more features of xfire in game. Celebrate the news.

Nice. A pity I don't use Xfire anymore, though I would have a reason to start using it again now..

All we need next is kill and stat tracking, 1 click join, and we will have full support.

@Paradox: First and foremost, I hate this forum not having tab completion for names, though it's virtually impossible. (Damn you IRC, you made me this way!)

Second of all, Crowd: Booooo! (Regarding your crappy wine joke)

Yeah, I'd much prefer a glass of Tennessee whiskey, or maybe a nice scotch, with a bitlbee chaser.

I used xfire because someone dragged me onto it.  When I realized there was crappy Mac support, which is where I play my games anyway, I didn't care much that bitlbee doesn't support it when I moved to that.  It's a neat idea, but I'm kinda 'meh' about it when I've got a couple dozen other IM screen names to keep track of already.

It is really helpful, because for example you can have it make a message pop onto your clan mates screen when they log on telling them of an upcoming clan war. And of course there are many other benefits.

More things distracting me while I play.  Just what I need.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

Because last time I checked and tried, Wine did not support Xfire.
