o = todo
X = done
? = maybe but not likely
M = more testing
I = in progress
W = waiting on other work
M it seems possible to crash a QF server still - need to fix this!
M Scitech MGL used in win32 is screwed - dump it and use SDL
M merge nq and qw code bases
I GL is still way too slow
I Client side QuakeC.
I mingw cross compiling
I merge nq and qw code bases
X fix skybox/dome vis problems (workable solution found, needs new renderer)
o ogg support
o It's possible to stick on some obtuse-angled corners qwsv 2.3x didn't
o better server control of certain cvars
o triggers (f_respawn, f_death, f_took; cl_triggers)
o software PCXs don't work in X11 at least if you're using 16/24/32 color
o stateful console (eg, rcon mode, chat mode, normal command mode...)
o menu rewrite
o scripted hud
o doublesize modes (eg, render in 320x240 but display in 640x480)
? more direct intra-team comms (eg, talk to offense or defense directly)
? Draw_Pic and friends need a cleanup in GL at least
? console commands to see a user, ignore talk from them, etc
? improved crosshairs (custom file, 32 bit for GL, etc)
M software targets should mix color at 16/16 or 24/32 color
? Draw_Pic and other tex draw functions should use local palettes
? wad loader should load wad3 and fall back to wad2 if necessary
? better control over client console logging
? ban reasons and expire times
? no 512 entities limit (protocol limitation)
? large or infinite (!) maps (currently has +-4096 protocol limit)
? redirection for file downloads
? way to change con back besides changing mod dir (csqc likely)
? server-side demos
? movie-like demo controls (fastforward, rewind, step forward and back,
seek, etc)
? delta compression for protocol
? transmit nails as source/direction/speed/time rather than
direction/location, to improve delta compression
? custom particle explosions (doable via csqc)
? server should shutdown cleanly when it recieves SIGTERM and SIGHUP
? client-only commands (rejected if done via a server stuffcmd)
X ~/.quakeforgerc should support all commands, not just set and setrom
These are explained better in doc/ideas/rhamph.txt:
? portal vis system
? remappable portals
? room duplication
? randomly generated maps
? variable detail models
? skeletal model animations
? Inverse kinematics
? variable detail walls
Future directory tree:
o todo
X done (a parent dir is not done until its children are done:)

Talks to the sound and video renderers
to output frames
[1] taniwha feels that formats is wrong and is using models with the
following structure:
libs
models generic api code
alias alias model loading code
brush brush model loading code
sprite sprite model loading code
textures texture reading/writing/management code
Decided old menu structure was pointless and nobody cared.
So we don't forget something in the binds menu:
Attack
Change weapon
Jump / Swim up
Walk forward
Backpedal
Turn left
Turn right
Run
Step left
Step right
Sidestep
Look up
Look down
Center view
Mouse look
Keyboard look
Swim up
Swim down
