This update adds some of the latest AO 2.8 and AO 2.9 features to the AO2XP client, as well as some missed out features and many bug fixes.

This release also includes two extras: experimental macOS and Linux builds!... with a few notes to their workings.
You need Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or newer to run the macOS build.
You need Ubuntu 18.04 or newer to run the Linux build, although you're welcome to try with an older version if you wish.

macOS/Linux build notes

  • OPUS sound files may not play
  • On Linux, there is a 50/50 hit or miss chance that the game freezes after you select a character, leaving you no option but to close it
  • Some of the UI elements, most notably ingame, may have their text overlapping others, due to the font size differences

If these notes dissuade you, you can always use the Windows build with Wine.

Changelog
AO2XP 1.5 features:

  • If the server has its' own webAO data URL, it will prioritize that one for content downloads over the default one
  • Client will now identify as "AO2XP" on servers instead of an unrealistic version of AO2
  • "AO2XP: servername" on titlebar

Late AO features:

  • Added 'deskmod' feature for servers that support it: toggles bench visibility in your courtroom position

AO 2.8 features:

  • Added support for benches on all court sides
  • Added SP#% packet for changing court position (by using the position dropdown list)

AO 2.9 features:

  • Added BB#% packet for message pop-ups
  • Added AUTH#% packet for telling your login status on OOC chat
  • Added vertical offsetting on pairing (only on servers that support it)
  • Added support for blip sound files placed in the "sounds/blips" folder

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed bug where a muted character still showed on-screen (but not their message)
  • Fixed bug where symbols like #, &, $ and % on evidence name/description would be sent in their exact unescaped form, causing issues
  • Fixed bug where selecting a different character on the character selection screen, while iniswapped, did not set the AO2XP theme
  • Missing contents' directories (e.g. characters) are no longer created even if you disable it to be downloaded
  • Fixed lobby chat and refresh buttons
  • By default, character slots are assumed to be non-taken unless the server sends the CharsCheck#% packet. This (hopefully) fixes connecting to servers running AOLS2
