more modern 'Gamespy' in help, fixed typos in show_ping and show_pl, (o is not
0) added a more descriptive help line to show_time so people will know it
actually has TWO settings, and localid finally has a description.

Also some small cleanups in particles.
Brighten grenade smoke a tiny bit, so it's not so invisible in the typically dark quake areas.
And some minor cleanups to water rendering.
code cleanups and general performance work to be developed in relative peace.
While cleaning up the networking code /is/ important, fixing QF's perfomance
issues is of much higher priority.
like normal, f_skins reports the average percent fullbright for all loaded
skins, and f_skins skinname reports the fullbright percent for a signle
skin. cl_freply controls the time in seconds before another query can be
made. Set it to 0 to disable them. More queries will be added later.
The table for accessing special characters from the console has been
tweaked a bit. Expect it to get tweaked more in the future.
- converted svc_packetentities and svc_deltapacketentities
- added some convenience defines for U_foo grouping
- tweaked Host_NetError's "please report this" print, but it still
doesn't work
This required changes to the api (info_t instead of char *) but should be
a net gain in speed (not a lot, admittedly: it was pretty fast to begin
with, but this paves the way for some other changes I have in mind).
- cleanup CL_ParseDeltaPacketEntites a little bit
- change some warnings in CL_{,Delta}PacketEntites to errors, as well
as full updates with delta*, so that they can either be debugged or
shown not to be needed
give mst_t a buffer to hold unterminated message strings
kill MSG_ReadStaticString and MSG_ReadStringLine
msg.c:
kill MSG_ReadStaticString and MSG_ReadStringLine
MSG_ReadString: implement the buffer for unterminated message strings
and update readcount on badread
cl_main.c:
go back to MSG_ReadString and fix up the resulting const char * issues
cl_parse.c:
rewrite the cl_mofake code all because of an uninitialized variable :)
sv_main.c:
use MSG_ReadString instead of MSG_ReadStringLine because
Cmd_TokenizeString really doesn't care about a terminating \n
directly into the packet data.
- change a bunch of char *'s to const char *'s for the above. Only
thing that had trouble was the cl_nofake handler, which I changed to
use a local buffer.
- add MSG_ReadStaticString which acts like the old MSG_ReadString,
specifically that it uses a static buffer and tollerates
unterminated strings.
- add a Q_strnlen function, and make strnlen use it if strnlen is
undefined.
- Add a net_svc.h and net_svc.c which will preparse svc messages into
structs, for easier handling. Currently only soundlist and
modellist are done.
IMT_DEFAULT to the bottom of the list so that IMT_0 gets written as such
rather than IMT_DEFAULT.
Also, clean up nq's EF_* dlight creation a bit (haven't touched
EF_MUZZLEFLASH: undecided on what to do).
implementation of his sound/focus patch. NOTE: only alsa 0.9 is tested
(Rhamph, can you test 0.5, please?) and only the alsa drivers stop the
hardware right ow.
WARNING!!! you /will/ have to re-install your plugins, or you will get
segfaults when the window gains/loses focus.
How do you tell if a window has focus on first mapping in X11?
Some sbar cleanups (still broken, suspect driver issues.).
Removal of pmodel and emodel infokeys, waste of info space.
For servers allow people downloading to hear people talking.
quakeio.h -> vfile.h
More diff reduction between trunk and my VFS code. Also took the time to
put some headers in order and fix a few #include's pointed out by moving
things around a bit.
move the packet loging init call to the right place and remove a duplicate
PI_Init call
net_packetlog.c:
don't be so invasive when dumping packets. use a private msg_t that gets
initialized from the analysed packet, rather than net_packet (which
tended to corrupt incoming packets)
thinking :)
set fs_pluginpath to point to the right dir, and set snd_plugin to pick a sound
plugin.
Current issues:
- alsa 0.5 won't build properly, dunno why
- segfault on exit. I think I know the cause of this, and how to fix it
- alsa 0.9, gus, sgi, sun, and win32 havn't been tested
cl_max_particles now lives in *part.c - in GL it dynamically changes the
amount of particles on the fly! Needless to say this is fun, and this is
proboably the third cvar that uses the callbacks function at all - which
IMHO is really a cool trick Taniwha.
However I'm losing my SANITY in r_part.c - if someone could take a look,
I'd be greatly appreciative. It should be obvious to any developer that
I'm having a few problems. :P Basically the dynamic code is completely
and totally disabled, and I hacked in code which *works* but shouldn't
EVER EVER EVER be left there after we fix this as it is downright EVIL
the way I implimented it. SW client does work, and does still work with
+set cl_max_particles - however the hacks I made to get it to do that...
*shakes head* Tread softly in there, it's a mess.
Other notes of interest:
I changed show_time so it archives its setting. Got annoyed with it. If
someone finds this change to be bad, change it back. :)
glspeed.cfg got updated with a setting of 60 for cl_max_particles. 60
works nicely, and doesn't use too much speed on my aging hardware, so
I'm sure newer systems will just plain FLY with this on.
I also changed the cl_maxfps setting as 72 is great if you aren't using
a modem !.! due to the way cl_maxfps works, the higher it goes, the more
data is sent to you by the server. This causes a heck of a lot of lost
packets if you don't have the bandwidth OR if your card can't keep up
with the framerate. Either of which is bad. I set it to 30, the default
of the cvar is 0/32 so go figure out what works best for you I say.
Let me know if this blows up in your face and ESPECIALLY let me know if
you can fix the r_part.c problems!

remove includes of qdefs.h and compat.h
pr_comp.h:
merge pr_comp.h from quake and qfcc, removing the copy in qfcc
cmdlib.[ch]:
nuke the endian code.
qendian.c:
initialise the LittleLong etc pointers at compile time rather than run
time
com.c (both nq and qw):
nuke the LittleLong etc init code
everything else:
fix up after the qtypes.h cleanup
new cvar: cl_max_particles. This cvar is archived, has no lower or
upper limits (well, less than 1 is not allowed) and can be changed in
game at any time.
BUGS:
Only one so far. I can't figure out why it's doing this, but in software
clients, (well, at least X11) if you set it to 1 particle, it acts like
you set it far higher. 2 acts like you set it to zero... Or maybe
it's showing 2 and I just can't see it on my 320x200 window. In any
case, the vagary must be something in the software particles code,
because I basically used the same code from the GL particles code for
this as I used for the software renderer.
If nobody can find fault with my code, I'll just make a special note in
the console help.
In any case, let me know of any problems.

thinks:
o Full progs modularity
o CSQC should now be just a matter of creating the builtin functions and
loading the code.
o total independence from progs globals, functions and entity field layouts
on the conditoin that their definitions have not been stripped from the
progs file.
o optional (though currently forced on) type checking on access to progs
entity fields from C
o the progs engine is fully shared between nq and qw.
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.
