- All defined labels are now marked as a specific type, guaranteeing more stability and fixing some broken mods.
- Potential multiplayer sync problems are now reported on startup
- Con commenting system rewritten to be more error free and allow comments in the middle of commands
- New quote manipulation abilities, allowing the user to:
- Redefine quotes mid-game

- Copy one quote to another quote position
- All event names are now internally defined and no longer need definitions in the CONs.

- Modified variable system to allow constants in place of read only gamevars and to allow prefixing a variable name with
a minus to use the negative of the var's value
- Pitch and roll control for models, accessed via get/setactor[].pitch and .roll. Also see .mdxoff, .mdyoff and .mdzoff.
- All hard coded tile definitions are now changeable from defs.con (note: enable dynamic remapping via dynamicremap command)
- The values of gamevars can be saved to and read from the .cfg
- Weapon control enhancement: all weapons now have a WEAPONx_RELOADSOUND1 and a WEAPONx_RELOADSOUND2 which control which
sounds are played when the magazine is inserted or removed.
- Added WEAPON_FLAG_RELOAD_TIMING (defined as 32768) hack for special reload sound timing on things like the pistol
- Added the following primitives:
- definecheat
- cheatkeys
- userquote
- precache

- Miscellaneous cleanups all over the code (the diff is 36,000+ lines!)
==1.2.3==
- Updated to current developmental JFDuke3D and engine
- Added the following primitives:
- displayrandvar
- displayrandvarvar
- checkavailinven
- globalsoundvar
- guniqhudid
- getprojectile
- getthisprojectile
- setthisprojectile
- Modified projectile system as follows:
- Each projectile in flight now has its own properties which can be set using
get/setthisprojectile in event 64
- setprojectile sets the default for all projectiles of that type, whereas
setthisprojectile only affects the specific projectile
- Fixed range property not working on RPG type projectiles
- Upped max sounds to 1500
- Added support for more/less than 4 episodes. The number of episodes is defined by
the last definevolumename instance found upon compilation. Max is 8.
- Added EVENT_GETMENUTILE: RETURN value sets background for main menu, set MENU_TILE
var to 1 for tiled, leave set to 0 for an image that fills the screen.
- Added EVENT_SPAWN: called every time an actor is spawned, use this to set properties
on actors at spawn time.
- Logo animation and splash screens disabled during multiplayer
- Out of sync fix for event 64
- Added support for setting the loogiex and loogiey members of the player struct
- Minor internal changes, bug and compiler warning fixes
- Added setvar console command for debugging
- Modified WEAPKEY events; support weapon key remapping (set RETURN to desired weapon num)
- Mapster32 changes:
- Fixed bug which disabled creating masked walls
- Added ' D 2D mode key combination to delete all sprites of a specific picnum
- Added ' N key combination to enable/disable noclip
- Fixed a few compiler warnings
==1.2.2==
- Updated to current JFDuke3D and engine, which brings the following:
- MD3 support
- fixed network sync issues
- minor renderer fixes
- Player movement events now work in multiplayer (thanks JonoF)
- Added sound_pitch member to player struct
- Added EVENT_NEXTWEAPON, EVENT_PREVIOUSWEAPON, EVENT_SWIMUP and EVENT_SWIMDOWN
- Added multi-purpose event "64" which runs on all sprites in the game, allowing for
manipulation of virtually everything in the game world
- Added user-definable colored fog: simply add lines similar to the following to your duke3d.def:
fogpal <palette number> <red intensity> <green intensity> <blue intensity>
Intensities range from 0-63, and palettes 26, 27, 28 and 29 are pre-defined for you as
white, red, green and blue respectively. Sector visibility controls fog density.
- Added movement_lock[] member to player struct. Functionality will be explained upon request
until the wiki is updated. As can be guessed, this is used to lock player movement.
- Fixed a couple of reload bugs
- Projectile system internally optimized and improved (ripped out remnants of variable based
system as well as modified the system to restore projectile defaults on game restart)
- Added the following primitives:
- movesprite
- checkavailweapon
- updatesectorz
- ssp
- stopallsounds
- soundoncevar
- stopsoundvar
Movesprite, checkavailweapon, updatesectorz and ssp work exactly as their
internal counterparts do. The sound commands are self-explanatory.
- Minor fixes to the error handling system -- it is now impossible to redefine internal
pointer gamevars. Some error messages also made more descriptive.
- Fixed handling of bad CON files
- Added "-condebug" command line parameter which prints one line to the init window per line
compiled. This is useful in cases where you've encountered a bug in the CON parser which
throws you into an infinite loop on compile, as you can see where the problem happened.
- Fixed "DNITEMS" cheat not triggering item cheat events
- CON commands "addlog" and "addlogvar" now print to console and log to eduke32.log
with all of the other log information rather than log.log
- Fixed multiplayer menu problem
- Added PROJECTILE_FLAG_RPG_IMPACT (defined as 32768) to projectile flags. This flag causes
an RPG type projectile to directly damage whatever it hits rather than do radius damage.
- By request, changed how Duke moves when submerging into and emerging from underwater sectors
- Various minor code clean-ups and fixes
- Mapster32 changes:
- Added ' 5 2D mode key combination for changing the shade of every parallaxed ceiling
on the map at once
- Added ' 6 2D mode key combination for changing the height of every parallaxed ceiling
on the map at once
- Added ' Z 2D mode key combination for offsetting an entire map on the Z plane. This
is useful for merging sections of maps into other maps.
- Added Left ALT ' 7 2D mode key combination for scaling the entire map (multiply)
- Added Left ALT ' 8 2D mode key combination for scaling the entire map (divide)
- Added ' M key combination for setting .extra member (this is the SW middle tag)
- Help menus re-organized to be more useful
- Added ' P 3D mode key combination to set palette on all sectors selected in 2D mode
- Added ; V 3D mode key combination to set visibility on all sectors selected in 2D mode
- Added support for running without lookup.dat (obviously, this will disable alt pals)
==1.2.1==
- Updated to current JFDuke3D and JFBuild release, see releasenotes.html for details
- Mapster32 updated to 1.0.1, hit F1 in 2D mode for new feature rundown
- Added "spritenoshade" command. This command works just like spritenvg and spriteshadow, and does
exactly what it claims to do.
- Fixed 1.2.0 bug which made the player's APLAYER sprite's position shift across the map each time a
bullet hole was left on a wall.
