both support this. The client tells the server it can support compressed
downloads by setting the z flag in the *cap userinfo. If the server detects
that the client supports compression, and the file to be downloaded is
compressed (more accurately, has the .gz extension), the server sends a special
download packet with a size of -2 (-1 indicates error),, percent of 0, followed
by the new name of the file (eg maps/foo.bsp.gz for maps/foo.bsp). The client
WILL NOT accept a new filename that doesn not match the old name for the length
of the old name. The client also will not accept a new name if there are . or
.. path components. If the client rejects the new name, it prints a warning
message and aborts that download.
very different way than did Id Software did later on, it'll be a major
improvement, that's for sure..)
fs_basegame Cvar created, defaults to whatever you selected in config.h,
most likely id1.
win32 requires a call to setmode(), since it doesn't seem to do the mode change in fdopen properly.
also removed some "z" modes, since someone forgot to when removing the Qfile stuffs
little problem of mixed QFile and FILE. Since we're not using ZLib in
this tree, QFile makes no real sense. That didn't fix the real problem
I am having though.
