2.1
release build
2.02
client
- fixed prediction bug in spectator/camera view, camera will no longer
try to view under plats and stuff
- new crosshair, enabled with "crosshair 2"
server
- another security hole
2.01
server
- added SpectatorConnect, SpectatorThink and SpectatorDisconnect Quake-C
functions. They are empty shells for now (a example of moving spectators
from point to point is included with impulse 1) but can be used in lots
of ways.
- fixed the crash bug with spectators
- changed the death msgs in the Quake-C to fix the old bug of incorrect msgs
when your weapon changed. Minor things like if two guys with pentagrams
telefrag, they both die (happens in deathmatch 4). Thanks to Nolan 'Radix'
Pflug <nolan@fyi.net> for diffs of the progs changes to get this worked out.
- fixed the mipmapping color errors in the GL version
client
1.82
server
- default floodprot, 4 lines in 8 secs, wait for 10 on activation
- sv_friction defaults to 6 now (server op can change it to 4 if they want)
client
- put support back in for -zone option
- added rerecord <filename> to cause a reconnect with demo recording on the
same server
1.81
server
- Added floodprots to the server
- Using localinfo, you can now configure a series of maps to run without
editing the quake-c. usage: localinfo <from-map> <to-map>. For example,
to run a server that loops through e1m2, dm2, dm4 and dm6, try this:
localinfo e1m2 dm2
localinfo dm2 dm4
localinfo dm4 dm6
localinfo dm6 e1m2
Note that the last one should loop back to the first, otherwise normal
level changing applies. Put the localinfo commands in the server.cfg
client
- new lightmap code (requires new opengl32.dll miniport)
- Added EF_BLUE and EF_RED for new GL light bubbles
- Made rocket trails fade out in GL
- Added NOSKINS 2 to use but not download skins
- Using TexSubImage2D to upload partial lightmaps (GL)
- Precalculate light bubble
- Translucent console (GL)
1.80
server
- added localinfo. 32k of key=value storage. Values are stored with the
localinfo console command on the server, i.e.
localinfo e1m1 e1m2
localinfo is persistant from the life of the server (between maps)
progs can access localinfo using infokey(world, "key") and set it using
localcmd("localinfo ");
localcmd(key);
localcmd(" ");
localcmd(value);
localcmd("\n");
values with spaces should be quoted
If the same key exists in serverinfo and localinfo, serverinfo will override
localinfo is not visible 'outside' the server
- protocol has changed, old clients will no longer work. changable move
vars such as gravity, maxspeed, etc. are supported again
- full server controlled localized client maxspeed and gravity is in
Create to new fields in the QC, .float gravity and .float maxspeed. .maxspeed
defaults to sv_maxspeed (320), .gravity defaults to 1.0 (full gravity).
Change them at will in the QC, but don't change them too often as every change
is noted and the clients are updated with the change so that their prediction
works correctly. The per-client maxspeed should be very handy for the TF
guys.
- fixed 'download ./server.cfg' security bug.
client
- 8bit 3DFX texture support. reduces texture thrashing due to way less
texture memory used.
- will work on pre 1.8 servers, but can cause minor movement errors due to
differences in movement prediction
- support for server controlled maxspeed and gravity multiplier.
1.69
server
- fixed up ramp movement (on ground stuff)
1.68
client
- fixed resized console in gl version, had some dead space, so put a mini
frag list on the bottom
- changed lightning in gl version so in default of gl_flashblend 1 you don't
see you own light, so having the quad doesn't obscure your vision
server
- hopefully finally fixed the acceleration up ramps
1.67
client
- added low/avg/high ping values to the showteamscores so an
average team ping is calculated
- fixed dynamic lightning of alias models in gl version (players and what
not were not lit up by dynamic lights)
server
- removed password from userinfo after player connect so that other
players and spectators can't use the 'user' command to see the
passwd
- setting password or spectator_password to 'none' is the same as
clearing it
1.66
client
- Added startup graphic banner
- exiting the world in spectator mode is no longer lava red, but
slime green.
server
- change player move physics to support ramp accel, there was a bug in
stair stepping that prevented proper movement. With this bug, you can't
jump into the RL room on dm6, or hit the secret light on e4m1.
- added support for 'namefun' (high bit characters). On by default, server
operators can turn it off with sv_highchars 0
1.65
client
- fixed the z-angle on entities (for example, the flag was rotated wrong)
in GL version.
- worked on the spectator camera, going to change it from a free float
to a locked camera that tracks
- add other player clip hulls to player prediction and local prediction
this removes the problem of walking through other players and makes
close combat a lot nicer.
1.64
server
- fixed bug in serverinfo strings (memory overwrite and length problem)
- added new allow_download vars:
allow_download_skins, allow_download_models,
allow_download_sounds, allow_download_maps
- map files are permitted to be downloaded if they aren't in a pak file
(unless allow_download or allow_download_maps isn't set)
- fixed annoying NET_GetPacket: Connection Refused msgs
- new command, sv_gamedir, which sets the visible gamedir to clients. this
allows servers to have a different physical game directories, handing for
machines with multiple servers that don't support symbolic links. for
example:
gamedir ctf4.1
sv_gamedir ctf
causes qwsv to use the physical directory of 'ctf4.1', but report the
directory to clients (players) as 'ctf' for their files.
- fixed annoying water jump bug where you would immedately hop back out of
water just after you jumped in
- added a few client to server commands for autocamera support
- fixed air velocity movement so that it is like regular Quake,
players have more control over their air movement and can cut
velocity as needed just like in Quake. This gives more control
to the player and rewards skill.
- spectators no longer can send or receive say_team msgs (possible
cheating could happen)
- adding new server cvar, sv_spectalk (defaults to 1, or on) that controls
whether spectators can talk to players. If disabled, spectators can
only talk to each other
- stopped reporting spectators as players when front-ends request info
- fixed up air movement that broke a bit in 1.61
- fixed bug that disallowed 9's in ip address for filtering
- spectators can now send say_team msgs, but only to other spectators
- no duplicate names allowed now (will rename people who do it)
- a client can not name themselves console
client
- adjust console input a bit to allow room for download percent bar (moved up
six pixels)
- added download percentage bar. Displays filename and a bar indicating
visual completeness of download and a percentage. Overwrites
any text at the bottom
- if a model file isn't found (couldn't be download) a msg is displayed
telling the user they may need to download or purchase an addon pak
- added +showteamscores. In team games, the intermission displays team
totals, unless you hit tab to display frag scores
bind a key to +showteamscores will give you the team score display
- added client side demo support and playback [wow, one line for three days
of work. :) ]
usage: record <file> <server>
Autodownload is disabled when recording.
- added auto-tracking camera for spectator mode. It's mostly a novelty, but
its fun.
- made all skin downloads go into QW
- allowed Ctrl-V (paste) at console
- fixed water jump bug where you hop immediately back out in narrow entrances
- added copyright dialog on exit (press y to quit) with credits and version
number
- new cvar, cl_warncmd, defaults to zero and disables the 'unknown command'
msg. qwcl stuffs 'cl_warncmd 1' to itself after quake.rc loads. This gets
rid of unknown command messages (like unknown command 'startdemos') from the
default exec files, as well as hiding "execing" messages.
- new command, windows, which will pop a user in fullscreen mode back to Windows
(obviously not in Linux versions)
- add cl_hightrack cvar for spectator mode, causes it to always
select camera view on player with the highest frags
- turned off bobbing in spectator mode
- added text to the "single player" and "multiplayer" menu options
- now execs the config.cfg in a gamedir upon receiving a new gamedir from
the server (saves the current config into the current gamedir before
switching to the new one)
- reconnect command will now reconnect to the server it's is currently connected
to, or last one it was connected to.
- fixed it so entering 'record blah server' while connected disconnects before
starting recording
- uh, added gl support (love these one liners for two days of work)
- fixed scoreboard while dead in gl version
- made it so players are never completely black in the gl version
- changed some console load up msgs in gl
- fixed it so exec files without a trailing new line still work
- changed effects in gl to not be as striking (hard to see)
- fixed it so a 'glquake' dir is created in other gamedirs for model
meshes in gl version
- fixed tolerance on corrupt skin files
- fov setting implemented in gl version
- fixed 'skins' command in gl version
