another alpha blend, it's set up exactly as another factor in determining
the final blend. This should help speed up framerates a little.
New cvars:
cl_cshift_bonus: Set to 0 to disable bonus flashes.
cl_cshift_contents: Set to 0 to disable content blends.
cl_cshift_damage: Set to 0 to disable damage blends.
cl_cshift_powerup: Set to 0 to disable powerup (quad, pent, etc) blends.
All of these cvars work for both GL and software, and all of them check
the value of the "cshifts" serverinfo. cshifts is a bit field, with the
following bits defined:
bonus: 1
contents: 2
damage: 4
powerup: 8
An admin can force any of these to be respected by choosing the numbers of
the cshifts to be enforced, and adding them up.
examples:
serverinfo cshifts 15
turns them all on.
serverinfo cshifts 10
turns on powerup and contents shifts.
also, the gl_cshiftpercent Cvar no longer does anything. I'll remove it
entirely soon.
rest: Myriad stuff.
r_netgraph now recognizes and abides by the cl_hudswap Cvar.
show_fps and show_time are on the same line now, and stay out of each
others' way.
New Draw_ function: Draw_TextBox(). It's like M_DrawTextBox(), except it
doesn't screw around with the screen coordinates.
rest: Implement model animation interpolation for alias models. Trying to
implement this has been an annoyance for some time, but IT WORKS NOW. set
gl_lerp_anims to zero to disable.
new function WriteTGAfile. Also, put in the tga header structure.
NOTE: this is currently broken for non gcc ocmilers. you will get a
#error message.
include/quakefs.h source/quakefs.c:
new function COM_WriteBuffers. Like COM_WriteFile, but scatter/gather
style.
source/gl_screen.c source/screen.c:
misc cleanups. differences are getting fewer. should be mostly
mergable soon (minus truly sw/gl specific code).
interface. To detect an extension, call QFGL_ExtensionPresent(). To get
the address of an extension function, call QFGL_ExtensionAddress(). This
function uses the preferred method for finding a function, based on
whatever OS and windowing system you use.
(for sv_minqfversion) are no longer compared as floats, so a server admin
can require client versions with a lot more granularity. (e.g. 0.2.99beta5
is greater than 0.2.99beta4, but lower than 0.3.0)
And of course the very slight rework of the input system, at least
in_x11 gets shifts right for different keymaps.
Oh, by the way, ALL other input targets are broken in a very 'will not
compile' way.
cl_main.c: Clean up version string a little
cmd.c: Add setrom parsing to first init phase, clean up includes a little
cvar.c: setrom command now uses set's semantics. Cvar_Set, Cvar_Set_f,
Cvar_Setrom_f now do a Con_DPrintf to report attempts to set CVAR_ROM
cvars.
sv_main.c: Clean up version string a little
vid.c: -winsize, -width, and -height no longer use Cvar_SetROM. The code
looks a little uglier, but it's more correct.
Lots of changes, more then I can cover quickly.
Things now look, different, and probally much better!
Note, SOFTWARE RENDERING IS BROKEN with this commit!
Add -brighten arg to GL targets, to replace -gamma but still look nice.
"-brighten 2.5" brightens the palette by 2.5 times, to give a similar
effect to the brightness cvar, but without the dithering brightness
gives. This is a palette hack, which means it _can't_ be a cvar.
int. Cleaned up prototypes to not include variable names.
dga_check.c: Fix bug in DGA detection that lead to segfault.
in_x11.c: Better DGA input support for X targets; The -nodga parameter is
gone, it is now the in_dga Cvar, which is dependant on the _windowed_mouse
Cvar. in_dga is archived.
memory in software mode. This is now taken care of, the memory is now
grabbed using calloc.
On Unix systems and all systems using SDL, the default video memory is now
8MB. This should now be enough for almost everybody, unless you have some
truly huge maps and boatloads of sounds. The minimum memory allowable is
now down to 4MB, but complex maps and/or models can cause the game to quit
-- not like this wasn't a problem already with the old 5.3MB lower limit,
but there it is.
on your server, put `serverinfo no_pogo_stick 1' into your server.cfg. It's
called no_pogo_stick for two reasons: the effect is called "pogo stick" in the
source code in a comment from the original id source code and also as a minor
(and very week:/) obfustication for `cheaters' trying to set it in their
clients. However, the client checks for no_pogo_stick in the server info and
forces it on when appropriate and having them in disagreement would only make
prediction a little screwy anyway :). BTW, when enabled this actually fixes the
original bug that allowed bunny hopping in the first place (though you still
get a jump grunt when you try to bunny hop; minor bug).
input.h: Use int_val for freelook
cl_input.c: Use freelook macro instead of in_mlook.state
in_svgalib.c: freelook support and whitespace
in_win.c: whitespace and minor optimization in mouse support
in_x11.c: freelook support
vid_ggi.c: joystick support and minor opt in mouse support
vid_sdl.c: joystick support, freelook support, minor mouse opt, spaces->tabs
WARNING: re-read readme.win for instructions on getting this working
on your system, since it depends on zlib being installed on your system,
similar to the way mgl is done.
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.
support are built with joy_null.c. To create a joystick driver for a new
system, take a look at joystick.h and joy_null.c for the driver
interface. I'd like to see a Windows driver using this interface, it would
probably simplify in_win.c greatly.
First off, a cleanup in alias model rendering.
Then we have R_CullBox, which is now a inline function.
Then the big one, the state change cleanup, right now GL_BLEND.
don't use libGLU right now.
gl_draw.c: brightness/contrast are created in r_view.c, I'm a little
surprised this didn't cause a crash.
menu.c: Use bound() for sliders.
the job. -3dfx doesn't get a package built right now, there
are...obstacles.
acinclude.m4, configure.in, Makefile.am: -sgl is detected separately from
-sdl now, and HAVE_XMESA is no longer in use.
code.
Then we have the completely purge of treating 'unsigned' as a type, it
is NOT a type, it is a TYPE MODIFIER!
Under gcc for x86 it happens to try and do something sane, just treat it
as a unsigned int, but that is EVIL, it is a MODIFIER and if ANYONE adds
code which uses unsigned as a type in itself I /WILL/ harm them!!!
view.h: Add brightness, contrast cvars as extern
menu.c: Change brightness scroller to use the brightness cvar, add
contrast scroller.
r_view, sw_view.c: Add brightness/contrast cvars to software, and make
them work.
Yes, this means that your standard grenades, the pipebombs, proxys,
sents, etc will all have fullbright pixels!
As a added bonus they are toggable with the gl_fb_models cvar! But
there is more! This comes at a almost unnoticeable cost! Thats right!
For you get this all for only 2 FPS!
Repeat, thats 2 FPS! PRACTICALLY NOTHING!
So order now! Available from the quakeforge newtree CVS.
#if 0 the signal code. wouldn't compile otherwise, but not game to
nuke it just yet
include/win32/version.h:
buggered if I know. fscking configure/cvs :)
include/glquake.h:
remove size declarations from bubble_sintable and bubble_costable
source/gl_part.c source/gl_rlight.c:
32 segments in a circle now instead of 16 and change the pointer
math to cope
source/gl_warp.c:
nothing much. just almost double my fps. (hint: the above tables)
remove the INCLUDELIBS blocks
include/win32/version.h:
ws changes. don't know why it's there in the first place (or generated
by configure, but too bad)
but as I don't have GL at work, I have no idea if gl client still works, or if
rocket trails work (default to off). This is mostly a blind patch taking the
code from oldtree to newtree.
gl_ztrick - here's the hat, but no rabbit
considering that a buggy driver can make gl_ztrick into a sort of cheat if
you can stand the flicker, it's gone. gl_finish was already a zombie Cvar
so I just removed its definition.
SGIS_multitexture (I assure you, unless you're on IRIX, you don't have
it!) Added a Sbar_Changed () to fix the sbar overbright for a few people
and the very beginnings of ARB_multitexture are now in glquake.h
