Quake2 3.16 changes:
|
|
|
|
- Fixed infinite grenade bug
|
|
- Fixed autodownloading to actually download sounds and console pics
|
|
- Fixed autodownload to not create empty directories for files not on
|
|
the server.
|
|
- Added customized client downloading. cvars are the same as the server side:
|
|
allow_download - global download on/off
|
|
allow_download_players - players download on/off
|
|
allow_download_models - models download on/off
|
|
allow_download_sounds - sounds download on/off
|
|
allow_download_maps - maps download on/off
|
|
They can also be (more easily) set with a new Download Options menu
|
|
accessible in Multiplayer/Player Setup/Download Options
|
|
- Changed checksumming code to be more portable and faster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quake2 3.15 changes:
|
|
|
|
- Added visible weapons support. This is precached with a special symbol, i.e.
|
|
gi.modelindex("#w_shotgun.md2") which causes the client to autobind it to
|
|
the players current weapon model. Plug in player models can optionally
|
|
support the visible weapons. Any that do not support it will use their
|
|
default weapon.md2 files automatically.
|
|
Visible weapons files for plug in player models are not downloaded
|
|
automatically--only the default weapon.md2 (and skin) is.
|
|
- New cvar cl_vwep controls whether visible weapons is enabled on the client.
|
|
If you turn it off, the visible weapons models are not loaded. This can offer
|
|
a speed up on slow or memory starved machines.
|
|
- Rewrote the some of the net code to use optimized network packets for
|
|
projectiles. This is transparent to the game code, but improves netplay
|
|
substancially. The hyperblaster doesn't flood modem players anymore.
|
|
- Rewrote the packet checksum code to be more portable and defeat proxy bots
|
|
yet again.
|
|
- Autodownload support is in. The following items will be automatcally
|
|
downloaded as needed:
|
|
- world map (and textures)
|
|
- models
|
|
- sounds (precached ones)
|
|
- plug in player model, skin, skin_i and weapon.md2
|
|
downloads go to a temp file (maps/blah.tmp for example) and get renamed
|
|
when done. autoresume is supported (if you lose connect during the
|
|
download, just reconnect and resume). Server has fine control over
|
|
the downloads with the following new cvars:
|
|
allow_download - global download on/off
|
|
allow_download_players - players download on/off
|
|
allow_download_models - models download on/off
|
|
allow_download_sounds - sounds download on/off
|
|
allow_download_maps - maps download on/off
|
|
maps that are in pak files will _not_ autodownload from the server, this
|
|
is for copyright considerations.
|
|
The QuakeWorld bug of the server map changing while download a map has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
- New option in the Multiplayer/Player Setup menu for setting your connection
|
|
speed. This sets a default rate for the player and can improve net
|
|
performance for modem connections.
|
|
- Rewrote some of the save game code to make it more portable. I wanted to
|
|
completely rewrite the entire save game system and make it portable across
|
|
versions and operating systems, but this would require an enormous amount
|
|
of work.
|
|
- Added another 512 configure strings for general usage for mod makers.
|
|
This gives lots of room for general string displays on the HUD and in other
|
|
data.
|
|
- Player movement code re-written to be similiar to that of NetQuake and
|
|
later versions of QuakeWorld. Player has more control in the air and
|
|
gets a boost in vertical speed when jumping off the top of ramps.
|
|
- Fixed up serverrecord so that it works correctly with the later versions.
|
|
serverrecord lets the server do a recording of the current game that
|
|
demo editors can use to make demos from any PVS in the level. Server
|
|
recorded demos are BIG. Will look at using delta compression in them
|
|
to cut down the size.
|
|
- Copy protection CD check has been removed.
|
|
- Quake2 3.15 has changed the protocol (so old servers will not run) but
|
|
all existing game dlls can run on the new version (albiet without the
|
|
new features such as visible weapons).
|
|
- Added flood protection. Controlled from the following cvars:
|
|
flood_msgs - maximum number of messages allowed in the time period
|
|
specified by flood_persecond
|
|
flood_persecond - time period that a maximum of flood_msgs messages are
|
|
permitted
|
|
flood_waitdelay - amount of time a client gets muzzled for flooding
|
|
- fixed it so blaster/hyperblaster shots aren't treated as solid when
|
|
predicting--you aren't clipped against them now.
|
|
- gender support is now in. The userinfo cvar "gender" can be set to
|
|
male/female/none (none for neutral messages). This doesn't affect sounds
|
|
but does affect death messages in the game. The models male and cyborg
|
|
default to gender male, and female and crackhor default to female.
|
|
Everything else defaults to none, but you can set it by typing
|
|
"gender male" or "gender female" as appropriate.
|
|
- IP banning support ala QW. It's built into the game dll as 'sv' console
|
|
commands. This list is:
|
|
sv addip <ip-mask> - adds an ip to the ban list
|
|
sv listip <ip-mask> - removes an ip from the ban list
|
|
sv writeip - writes the ban list to <gamedir>/listip.cfg. You can
|
|
exec this on a server load to load the list on subsequent server runs.
|
|
like so: quake2 +set dedicated 1 +exec listip.cfg
|
|
sv removeip <ip-mask> - remove an ip from the list
|
|
the ip list is a simple mask system. Adding 192.168 to the list
|
|
would block out everyone in the 192.168.*.* net block. You get 1024 bans,
|
|
if you need more, recompile the game dll. :)
|
|
A new cvar is also supported called 'filterban'. It defaults to one which
|
|
means "allow everyone to connect _except_ those matching in the ban list."
|
|
If you set it to zero, the meaning reverses like so, "don't allow anyone
|
|
to connect unless they are in the list."
|
|
|
|
Quake2 CTF 1.09a Changes:
|
|
|
|
- Q2CTF 1.09 requires 3.15 now.
|
|
- Competition Match mode added. Server can be reset into a timed match mode.
|
|
Includes a pregame setup time, countdown until game start, timed match,
|
|
statistics on players, admin functions and a post game time.
|
|
- The server command 'gamemap' now works correctly. On a server, you can
|
|
change maps with two commands: map and gamemap. Map will cause all teams
|
|
to reset, gamemap will change maps with the teams intact.
|
|
- New console commands:
|
|
yes - vote yes on an election
|
|
no - vote no on an election
|
|
ready - ready oneself for a match
|
|
notready - remove oneself from the ready list (stop the clock)
|
|
ghost - ghost back into a match if connection was lost
|
|
admin - become an admin or access the admin menu
|
|
stats - show statistics on players in a match
|
|
warp - warp to a new level
|
|
boot - kick a player of the server (you must be an admin)
|
|
playerlist - show player list and connect times
|
|
- New cvars:
|
|
competition - set to 1 to allow the server to be voted by players into
|
|
competition mode. Set to 3 for a dedicated competition server.
|
|
The default, 0, disables competition features.
|
|
matchlock - controls whether players are allowed into a match in progress
|
|
in competition mode. Defaults to on (1).
|
|
electpercentage - the precentage of yes votes needed to win an election.
|
|
Defaults to 66%.
|
|
matchtime - length of a match, defaulting to 20 minutes. Can be changed
|
|
by admins.
|
|
matchsetuptime - length of time allowed to setup a match (after which
|
|
the server will reset itself back into normal pickup play). Defaults
|
|
to 10 mins.
|
|
matchstarttime - The countdown after match setup has been completed
|
|
until the match begins. Defaults to 20 seconds.
|
|
admin_password - Password for admin access (allowing access to the admin
|
|
menu without needing to be elected).
|
|
- Minor bug fixes in team selection to help balance the teams better (the
|
|
default option on the menu is now the team with the fewer players).
|
|
- Don't get base defenses for telefragging your teammates in base.
|
|
- Telefrags at start of game no longer count (to help with game spawning).
|
|
- Instant weapon changing is now a server option (and can be changed by
|
|
admin menu).
|
|
- New admin menu that allows remote changes of the following items:
|
|
Match length (time)
|
|
Match setup length (time)
|
|
Match start length (time)
|
|
Weapons Stay
|
|
Instant Items
|
|
Quad Drop
|
|
Instant Weapons
|
|
- As part of the match code, a new 'ghost' option is included. When a match
|
|
begins, all players are printed a randomly generated five digit ghost code
|
|
in their consoles. If the player loses connection for some reason during
|
|
the match, they can reconnect and reenter the game keeping their score
|
|
intact at the time of disconnection.
|
|
- Visible weapon support (as with the 3.15 release).
|
|
- Some minor changes to the pmenu code to allow more flexability
|
|
|
