Modern maps can have many more leafs (eg, ad_tears has 98983 leafs).
Using set_t makes dynamic leaf counts easy to support and the code much
easier to read (though set_is_member and the iterators are a little
slower). The main thing to watch out for is the novis set and the set
returned by Mod_LeafPVS never shrink, and may have excess elements (ie,
indicate that nonexistent leafs are visible).
While this caused some trouble for pr_strings and configurable strftime
(evil hacks abound), it's the result of discovering an ancient (from
maybe as early as 2004, definitely before 2012) bug in qwaq's printing
that somehow got past months of trial-by-fire testing (origin understood
thanks to the warning finding it).
This is a big step towards a cleaner api. The struct reference in
model_t really should be a pointer, but bsp submodel(?) loading messed
that up, though that's just a matter of taking more care in the loading
code. It seems sensible to make that a separate step.
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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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).
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 :)
all (or most, there are limits still) of the maps on a server with many
maps.
move the optional progs funcs into sv_funcs_t and add UserInfoChanged,
ChatMessage and LocalinfoChanged callback support.
clean up PF_setinfo (and SV_SetInfo_f and SV_Localinfo_f) using shared code
where possible und to use the UserInfoChanged and LocalinfoChanged
callbacks.
add chat message callback to SV_Say. if it returns zero, normal chat
handling is done, otherwise it's assumed to have been handled by the progs.
provide a hook for unkown user commands. non-zero return means it's been
handled.
