It now takes a context pointer (opaque data) that holds the buffers it
uses for the temporary strings. If the context pointer is null, a static
context is used (making those uses of va NOT thread-safe). Most calls to
va use the static context, but all such calls have been formatted
consistently so they are easy to find when it comes time to do a full
audit.
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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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).
The search for these files will stop in the vpath that contains the .bsp
file to which they belong. This will prevent problems with
id1/maps/start.lit being used for shadows/maps/start.bsp.
Caused by an out-by-one error thanks to the insane way the sound list is
built. Came about when doing the model/sound list sanitation during the
GLSL project, but this one was sneakier as it resulted only in a missing
sound rather than a segfault.
When the stufftext buffering was implemented, we forgot about
svc_serverdata...
While nq might normally not have the issue, I thought it best to implement
in nq, too.
I didn't like the way client/server code was poking around at the
implementation. Instead, provide a couple of accessor functions for the
same information.
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.
This has several benifits:
o The silly issue with alias model pitches being backwards is kept out
of the renderer (it's a quakec thing: entites do their pitch
backwards, but originally, only alias models were rotated. Hipnotic
did brush entity rotations in the correct direction).
o Angle to frame vector conversions are done only when the entity's
angles vector changes, rather than every frame. This avoids a lot of
unnecessary trig function calls.
o Once transformed, an entity's frame vectors are always available.
However, the vectors are left handed rather than right handed (ie,
forward/left/up instead of forward/right/up): just a matter of
watching the sign. This avoids even more trig calls (flag models in
qw).
o This paves the way for merging brush entity surface rendering with the
world model surface rendering (the actual goal of this patch).
o This also paves the way for using quaternions to represent entity
orientation, as that would be a protocol change.
done and playerinfo is now written at the proper time, fixing the
"lagged dlights" issue (as Spike puts it:). Hack to fix broken mvds removed
as it should no longer be needed if everybody fixes their mvd servers :)
for) and "fix" the wayward dlights in mvds: caused by svc_muzzleflash being
written before the player updates. Should probably fix properly that in the
server too.
execpc's ProzacTF server, info strings for other players are checked to
ensure that they contain the "name" key. If the key is not present, it is
set to "user-%i [exploit]", where %i is the userid of the player. Players
using this exploit should now show up on the scoreboard and users list
and be visible during gameplay. Although this renders the exploit useless
against players using QF, the exact way in which it bypasses the extensive
checks of a player's name by the server needs to be discovered so that it
can be fixed. The server in question uses a bastarized version of QF
0.5.2, so it's possible that the problem still exists in QF today.
cl_chat.[ch] to qw to hold advanced chat features, the first of which is
the ability to ignore chat messages from annoying players. Some polishing
in this area still remains, but the current implementation seems to work.
All the details of game directories will be fully configurable (search
paths and gamecode file name currently supported). Downloading of skins to
qw/skins only currently broken (will download to $gamedir/skins for now).
