- fix up the auto* scripts so that make isntall works, and then we can
  start looking at making a release
- merge net_udp6.c into net_udp.c
- kill off ctf/q_shared.c, it's identical to src/q_shared.c (Actually, work
  out redundant code and merge them... maybe some sort of libshared.a)
- clean up the #ifdefs that are throughout the code to be has-a
  tests instead of is-a. (using HAVE_* from configure instead of __blerg__)
- separate the video refreshers
- check that the parts install into the right places
- use DATADIR to find game data, rather than in same directory as libraries
  this way, it can follow FHS: libs in /usr/lib/games/quake2 and data in 
  /usr/share/games/quake2, for example
- the video refresher loader code in src/vid_menu.c needs cleaning up, it's
  utter bollocks at the moment.  all the structs are very fragile, depending
  on specific ordering of each element.
- do va_list audit -- check that argptr isn't used twice (as per 
http://gozer.quakeforge.net/list-archives/quakeforge-cvs/2002-April/000151.html
  Everything seems to be fine, someone with a PPC machine will probably want
  to double check this.
- investigate the possibility of savegames not being tied to a particular build
- fix software assembler when building without --disable-asm on i386
- split out assembler per arch/os (we currently have gas i386 and win i386)
- make sure that we give back the mouse and keyboard if the game crashes

- Created acinclude.m4 with checks for VA_COPY and VA_LIST_IS_ARRAY. Currently not needed, but I suspect we may need them as we gain functionality; cf. dstring.c in quakeforge. - Updated configure.in to check for above tests. - Updated TODO list noting the va_list audit. 2002-05-02 15:45:55 +00:00			`- do va_list audit -- check that argptr isn't used twice (as per`

- Added AUTHORS file noting people who contributed on the project. - Added HACKING for developer notes. - Updated README to be more of a README. - Updated TODO list. - default don't build xatrix and rogue - rolled back save game changes from 6 days ago, as they suck. Save games are a complex beast and need someone to redesign them so that they aren't tied to a particular build. In the meantime, though, I'm not losing any sleep over it, there's a note in the README about it, so time to close this bug. (Closes: #15) 2002-05-02 12:45:05 +00:00			`- investigate the possibility of savegames not being tied to a particular build`
			`- fix software assembler when building without --disable-asm on i386`
			`- split out assembler per arch/os (we currently have gas i386 and win i386)`
- Added a new cvar, "gl_stencilshadow". Off by default, set it to 1 to enable stencilbuffer shadows. (Turn gl_shadows on first!) Based on MrG's tutorial on quakesrc.org, but hacked a bit to work for GLX instead of Win32, and is a bit more robust (won't die if it can't get a stencil buffer). - Updated TODO list to reflect this change. 2002-05-03 08:50:13 +00:00			`- make sure that we give back the mouse and keyboard if the game crashes`
- Added CCAS and CCASFLAGS to configure.in, so that automake 1.5 does the right thing with assembler. - Updated TODO list. 2002-05-03 03:53:38 +00:00
