3.18 Changes
|
|
|
|
- "Water surfing" that was present in 3.17 has been fixed (holding jump while
|
|
on the surface of water let you swim at full speed).
|
|
- Environment maps (env) are now autodownloaded (if allow_download_maps is set).
|
|
- Spectator support added. A new cvar is built into the client, "spectator"
|
|
Setting it to value other than "0" will allow you join a game as a spectator.
|
|
While in spectator mode, you can press the attack button to enter a chasecam
|
|
mode and follow other players. Using the inventory keys (by default the
|
|
left and right square brackets) you can switch between players in the game
|
|
while using the chasecam.
|
|
You may enter and leave spectator mode while connected. Doing so resets
|
|
your score to zero.
|
|
***The new spectator support requires a new game.dll and may not work for
|
|
user mods until they update their code. The default game.dll that comes
|
|
with 3.18 supports chasecam as well as the new included Xatrix game.dll.
|
|
- Fixed it so that when a model defaults to male/grunt (don't have the
|
|
necessary model or skin for the player), VWep support is still enabled.
|
|
- New console command for players, "playerlist". This will cause the server
|
|
to give you a text list of the players on the server, including their
|
|
connect time, score, ping and spectator status. This is handy if not
|
|
everyone fits on the scoreboard on busy servers.
|
|
- New cvar for the game.dll: spectator_password. If set to a value (other
|
|
than "none"), users must set their spectator variable to this value in order
|
|
to join the server as a spectator. This password is independant of the
|
|
normal user password.
|
|
- New cvar for the game.dll: maxspectators (defaults to 4). This value is
|
|
not seperate from maxclients (a spectator is still a client).
|
|
- New cvar for the game.dll: sv_maplist. This can be set to a list of map
|
|
names that the server should autorotate through, rather than using the
|
|
nextmap set in the actual map files themselves.
|
|
For example: set sv_maplist "base1 q2dm1 q2dm3 fact3" will cause the server
|
|
to rotate through those maps.
|
|
***This requires a game.dll update and will not work with user mods until
|
|
they update their code.
|
|
- A new facility has been added to ClientConnect() in the game.dll to allow
|
|
the game.dll to pass a message back to the user for the reason of disallowing
|
|
a connection. It is done by setting a key of "rejmsg" in the passed userinfo.
|
|
For example:
|
|
Info_SetValueforKey(userinfo, "rejmsg", "Password required or incorrect.");
|
|
- The server cvar, password, may be set to "none" to clear the password. This
|
|
is needed because rcon can not set a blank password.
|
|
- New server cvar: sv_airaccelerate. This controls the optional air
|
|
acceleration facility. The default value is 0, which disables air control.
|
|
The usual value to replicate the air control seen in the original Quake and
|
|
later versions of Quakeworld is 10. 10 allows for much more
|
|
air control (as was seen in 3.15). This value is ignored in single player
|
|
and coop.
|
|
- Fixed NoSuchFrame/BAD_MODELTYPE errors when doing a vid_restart while
|
|
connected.
|
|
- NoSuchFrame errors now include model name to assist in debugging user mods.
|
|
- Fixed the remote status query response (ServerInfo) to not include error
|
|
messages and be more consistent.
