There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
Still, nothing will work: no plugins are loaded and they're all broken
anyway.
glx, sgl, glslx etc are going away, just the basics will be built: fbdev
(probably go away eventually), sdl, x11 and hopefully someday win. That's
actually the only reason anything links.
With any luck it should actually work this time. Added the getimpulse
command so that GIB scripts can check if an impulse command is pending
before sending their own. Fixed all the memory leaks I could find.
QuakeC and GIB seem to be clean except for maybe one or two sneaky leaks
I can't track down.
unbounded frame rate (you can still set it to clamp your fps to, for example,
your monitor's refresh rate), and cl_maxnetfps 0 is now based on your network
rate.
The NetQuake-compatible targets now also have an unbounded framerate. This is
OK, because the built-in server uses its own tick rate.
cl_maxnetfps (his cl_c2spps), controls number of frames worth of command packets sent per second. So you can now crank your cl_maxfps, and tweak networking independently.
Also, cl_spamimpulse (his cl_c2sImpulseBackup), controls number of duplicate packets spammed to attempt to make impulses reliably reach the server. 3 is default, same as id. Experiment with lowering it at your risk (higher does nothing).
nq for abyss etc (ie, the magical -<mod> args).
The interface to the message subsystem got a revamp and all the mods to the .c
files reflect this. currently a little ugly, but I plan on abstracting msg
further to clean it up and make it more oo.
