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.
nq now rejects anything that doesn't look like a .dem, and qw not only
rejects anything that looks like neither a .qwd nor a .mvd, but even
detects which one is being played by the contents rather than the file name
(foo.mvd.gz would be mis-detected as a qwd!!).
The change to nq SV_RunThink to match that in qw finally bit my bum. I
suspect it's really a bug in the honey progs (using ltime on a non-pusher),
but QF locking up is not very friendly. I want to keep the option of having
a think loop in the same frame for progs that expect it (using
self.nextthink = time), but also NQ's original method of running think
every frame. Hopefully no progs expect "self.nextthink = time" to run
every frame rather than loop within the current frame.
Now it doesn't matter if you get 22 fps or 72, you jump the same height,
which actually happens to be slightly higher than the previous 72fps jump.
Effectively, you jump the height you would if you got infinite fps ;)
One's an actual bug, the other a bit of error checking (not sure how
necessary it is, but it's in code that we don't /want/ to run, so it can't
hurt :)
The renderer now gets initialized and things sort of work (qw-client will
idle, though nothing is displayed). However, as the viddef stuff is broken,
it segs on trying to run the overkill demo.
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.
Just about to do a release, and I realized windows users wouldn't have any
way of checking out the new renderer. I'll add wglsl when I get a chance to
do some testing.
o All instances of LIBADD/LDADD have a corresponding DEPENDENCIES
specificatiion.
o libraries now use a lib_ldflags macro to keep things consistent
o duplication of source/lib names has been minimized (particularly in
the libraries; more work needs to be done for the executables)
o automake spec blocks have been organized (again, more work needs to be
done for the executables)
Most subsystems that depend on other subsystems now call the init functions
themselves. This makes for much cleaner client initialization (more work
needs to be done for the server).
The renderer should now be free of any direct access to client code. Even
3d rendering is now done via a function pointer.
The cshift code is done as a 2d screen function.
