commands whose help or name matches the pattern fix: /bind was treating single-character key names in a case sensitive manner add: new CNQ3 download system that uses checksums to get the right pak files the CNQ3 download system will use the WorldSpawn map server for inexact queries (when loading demos or using /dlmap) when the CNQ3 map server doesn't have the file system | speed | cases | source(s) | file availability | server requirements -------|-------|---------------------|---------------|-------------------|-------------------- CNQ3 | fast | pure servers, demos | map server(s) | not guaranteed | none id | slow | pure servers only | the Q3 server | guaranteed | sv_allowDownload 1 chg: cl_allowDownload can be used to select the download system cl_allowDownload 0 = downloads

the final image looks r_greyscale 0 (default) = full color (nothing done) r_greyscale 1 = monochrome r_greyscale ]0 1[ for linear interpolations between the 2 extremes add: com_completionStyle to select the auto-completion style com_completionStyle 0 (default) = always print all results com_completionStyle 1 = cycle results like Enemy Territory's console chg: cvars and commands are

(default: 1440, minimum: 60) fix: broken rendering when the 2nd stage of a collapsed shader stage pair had non-white colors fix: shader stages using "wave" were not animated when the server time was too large add: con_scaleMode specifies the console text scaling mode con_scaleMode 0 (default) = text size scales with con_scale but not the resolution con_scaleMode 1 = text size scales with con_scale and the resolution con_scaleMode 2 = text size is always 8x12 chg: con_scale only specifies the console text scaling factor and nothing else fix: the pukka3tourney2 slime wasn't green with r_vertexLight 1 fix: the ct3ctf1 grate near quad was getting picmipped when it wasn't supposed to be fix: improved the player name look-up behavior for these commands: kick, banUser, dumpuser if 2

display, the image would be offset vertically chg: updated mouse input for better grab (de-)activation and fixed window dragging not working chg: reduced raw mouse input latency and added cl_drawMouseLag fix: in raw mouse input mode, keeping any button pressed while focusing the window would keep the cursor visible even after releasing all buttons Linux: chg: the client requires SDL 2 - the following things are handled by it: window, GL context, video modes, audio, kb and mouse input, monitor list, clipboard add: m_relative <0|1> (default: 1) enables SDL's relative mouse mode you might want to set it to 0 if you have a messed up input driver add: minimize command to minimize the client's window add: automatic dedicated server process restarts for crashes and timed reboots (sv_minRebootDelayMins) this means 2 CNQ3 processes run per server: a parent (fixed pid) and a child (new pid after each restart) this behavior can be disabled by passing "nohardreboot" as a command-line argument the new command sv_restartProcess can be used to shut down the child process and start a new one fix: color codes (e.g. "^1") don't get printed to the terminal anymore fix: tty handling of the leading "]" character fix: dedicated servers no longer insert a leading backslash when running auto-completion fix: the crash handler will reset tty input mode correctly chg: tty input

1.45 note: this release REQUIRES arb shader support if your card doesn't have it, use an older version add: hw gamma should work on Vista add: r_measureoverdraw is actually useful add: r_speeds is far more useful now chg: sound attenuation is biased i.e. distant sounds are much louder than in 1.43 since it's still more correctly spatialised than pre-1.43, this is the best compromise i can come up with chg: r_fullbright works in vertexlight mode (only) instead of lightmap only, where it just wasted bandwidth and vram chg: r_customwidth, r_customheight renamed to r_width, r_height chg: hardcoded r_mode garbage and modelist removed: r_mode 0 (default) = current desktop resolution, depth, hz, etc r_mode 1 = custom resolution etc note: r_mode 1 WILL NOT tolerate invalid r_displayRefresh values any more chg: require opengl 1.4 or higher removed r_allowExtensions, r_primitives, r_ext_compiled_vertex_array, r_ext_multitexture, r_ext_texture_env_add chg: removed a bunch of useless/obsolete cvars: r_logfile, r_showcluster, r_facePlaneCull, r_ignoreFastPath, r_drawSun, r_simpleMipMaps, r_offsetFactor, r_offsetUnits chg: don't tablist cheatvar noise if cheats are off chg: removed the last bits of legacy altivec cruft chg: rewrote pretty much all the dlight stuff not only does it actually work reliably now but it's also massively improved in terms of quality fix: ignorehwgamma 1 would fail to apply sw gamma to some images fix: roqs failed to apply sw gamma fix: sv_floodprotect could block all commands indefinitely 12 Aug 09 - 1.44 (server only) fix: unbannable player exploit (stanway/auriemma) 08 Aug 08 - 1.43 fixed sfx0 using a real sound and thus "hiding" it corrected sv_pure back to CVAR_ROM added the correct "fastsky!=0 == disable portals" test, ffs me :P removed long-obsoleted r_lastValidRenderer removed long-obsoleted r_ext_gamma_control removed pointless cl_forceavidemo removed r_rail* and marked the never-used RT_BEAM etc as such removed RAVENMD4 completely r_fullbright is not a cheat var fixed a bug with CVAR_CHEAT fixed another bug in \video (hopefully) fixed distance culling on dlit patch seams changed r_ext_max_anisotropy default to 16 added con_scale for console font scaling 0 = Q3 style, always 8x12 pixels regardless of screen rez 1 = Q4 style, scales with screen rez !0 = scale with screen rez and a custom multiplier straightened out the con cvar mess: cl_noprint -> con_noprint scr_conspeed -> con_speed and correctly CVAR_ARCHIVE con_notifytime correctly CVAR_ARCHIVE removed cl_conXOffset since it basically doesn't work sleep correctly if an unfocused client (win32-only) don't sleep INcorrectly if a dedicated server (win32-only) fixed a (huge) memory leak in the vm fixed sv_pure 1 problems on listen servers another overhaul of the sound code: spatialisation is now correct, which has two huge impacts: you can "place" sounds MUCH more accurately than before, but as a result, distant sounds are MUCH quieter removed s_doppler, it's almost right but it just sounds like shit most of the s_mixprestep hackery has been removed, and you can probably set it to 0 if your sound drivers work properly OAL support has been dropped completely and indefinitely it's crap and i'm tired of it poisoning the codebase Mar 08 - 1.42 bots are no longer kicked by devmap legacy cack like joystick/midi support only pollutes configs if enabled fixed a memory leak in the sound code fixed even more (hopefully all) dropped sound issues in snd_dma made com_soundmegs SLIGHTLY less broken: now only 2x instead of 3x :P note that "soundmegs" are taken FROM THE HUNK now to fix the leak so you need to increase com_hunkmegs by 2x your com_soundmegs removed the explicit and incorrect "fastsky==1 == disable portals" test r_noportals is not a cheat var hyperspace is a bit less annoying purged the unused (never finished) idMD4 model code fixed some bugs in referencedpak list generation fixed roqs ignoring s_volume fixed widescreen modes crashing on listen servers fixed downloads not completing properly 18 Feb 08 - 1.41 removed all bs references to GT_SINGLE_PLAYER and ui_singlePlayerActive (except from the bot code, which has bigger problems) added sv_singleplayer improved TTF overhead a lot: now as fast as crappy bitmap fonts :D removed the stupidity of every key aborting demo playback: now ESC only only play the id logo cin the FIRST time, not every fkn time removed the broken stencil/projection shadow code avis produced by \video actually work (bug+fix both from ioq3) fixed some ABSURD buffer overruns and broken code in snd_dma which caused random dropped sounds for no reason it's a miracle it doesn't segfault any real OS also dumped the unused-since-TA adpcm/mulaw/etc cruft fixed a TA-era (surprise, surprise) bug that broke loopsound behavior loop (ie ambient) sounds are now 75% volume q3config is NEVER autowritten just because of bind/cvar changes it sucks if you're playing and it sucks even more if you're on GTV UI/SP code should write it EXPLICITLY if they want to save something 19 Dec 07 - 1.40 the code now requires a C++ compiler MASSIVE cleanups of the codebase, tho still plenty of bits left screenshot filename is YYYY_MM_DD-HH_MM_SS-TTT this means they'll never collide *; moviemakers won't run out; and the engine DOESN'T STAT 10,000 FILES EVERY FRAME (* except at 2am on an autumn night if you're amazingly unlucky :P) demo filename is YYYY_MM_DD-HH_MM_SS fixed demos to be MAX_OSPATH instead of MAX_QPATH, ie 256 chars now renamed cl_mouseAccel to m_accel removed ioq3 "qkey" rubbish removed support for BMP and PCX removed fs_cdpath, fs_copyfiles, touchfile, fs_restrict removed support for IPX removed in_logitechbug updated cpu detection added TTF support fixed a bunch of stuff in ScanAndLoadShaderFiles, but it's still crap fixed the patch collision epsilon bugs of 1.34 reverted to id's tab-completion since ioq3's is so hated i've semi-merged them atm, will fix up when i get time interpreted vm is never used on platforms that support compiled vm clampmaps and nomip images use GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE rather than GL_CLAMP disabled curl until it's brought up to standard merged platform-specific *_net.* into qcommon/net_ip.cpp, <3 timbo :) fixed USERINFO vars not being sent properly during connect remove some network stuff (buffer sizes and TOS) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248611 12 Sep 07 - released as 1.34, since it was about time we did :P increased default MAX_POLYS to 8K and MAX_POLYVERTS to 32K Aug 07 fixed a bug in the skybox code that tried to use a 0-length CVA which makes recent nvidia drivers go into spaz mode changed r_ext_multisample default to 0 to stop ix nagging :P July 07 added support for curl improved some network stuff (buffer sizes and TOS) added support for mouse5-mouse8 1 May 07 remove broken useless cl_freezeDemo and make demo pausing work just use timescale 0 27 Apr 07 ripped out all support for legacy substandard hw/drivers (ie Voodoo etc) and r_maskMinidriver uncorrected mode 8 back to 1280x1024 18 Jul 06 update various cvar defaults r_stencilbits: 0 r_picmip: 0 r_roundImagesDown: 0 r_simpleMipMaps: 0 s_useOpenAL: 0 default fs_game to cpma 30 Jun 06 -
