Read the full changelog

Ace of Spades is a game that blends Minecraft with online shooters, such as Counter-Strike or Team Fortress 2 and features a fully destructible environment, as you might expect. Thus, although the graphic quality is even poorer than it is in Minecraft, the whole idea behind such games is the fun factor, which definitely overcomes any technical defects.

A heavily improved graphic engine

OpenSpades, on the other hand, is a GPLv3, community-made client for Ace of Spades that disregards the said flaws and features a very powerful graphic engine, which is capable of rendering state-of-the-art effects to go along with the entertainment. Thus, in case you value the looks and you are tired of the pixelated original, this client can definitely be a solution.

To start off with, it is worth noting that the client works on the vanilla servers, which means that it doesn't really matter what client everyone else on the server uses. Hence, you do not have to worry about finding special servers to run this version, especially since it is also capable of supporting both the latest and the previous Ace of Spade installments.

Spade

The same amount of fun, but in HD

Among the special effects that are available in this installment, you can find anything from improved post-processing and better particles, to high-end settings, such as global illumination and linear HDR rendering. As with the original game, this client also uses the OpenGL library to render the graphics, but it also supports a software mode. Last, but not least, the experience can be improved even further by activating the Antialias options, ranging from MSAA2X to 4X FXAA, which definitely minimizes the amount of ragged edges visible on higher resolutions.

Naturally, there are some inconveniences as well, most of which regard the fact that the client is still rather experimental and you can always stumble upon bugs. The biggest issue, however, is that these effects more often than not require a pretty powerful computer in order to maintain a decent frame rate, not to mention the fact that they can seriously affect your latency and cause you severe lagging problems, if you exaggerate with the enhancements.

A complete remake of the original

In the end, OpenSpades truly is a huge step forward from the vanilla version, especially when it comes to the textures and the special enhancements that can be applied with the supplied launcher. However, you need to be careful with the settings, since not all of them are properly optimized yet.

Stress Testing Apr 17, 2020 Last night, myself and my friend Martin decided to ‘stress test’ my popey spades server. I was keen to see if it could handle a bunch of people playing for an extended period, so put out a call to see of people wanted to spank either of us with a spade.Turns out, I needn’t have bothered, because by the time I joined just before 10pm UK time, there were already 20 + people playing! ... ➦

Running Piqueserver Apr 14, 2020 I mentioned in the Welcome post that I’m running piqueserver to play on.

It has server and team text chat, map voting and admin / moderation tools. It can also connect to an IRC channel to allow for server monitoring, and has an SSH remote access option. ... ➦

Open Spades Plus

Welcome Apr 13, 2020 Got a bit bored during the Great Lockdown of 2020 and found myself playing a bit of OpenSpades. One thing led to another, and I decided to spin up a server, create a discord and register a domain. So here we are.You’ll find my server “Good Vs Evil” in the list, and can ‘favourite’ it with a right click of the mouse. Maybe I’ll see you there.Most servers have “blue” and “green” teams, or words in polish I don’t understand. ... ➦
