Server/client VoIP protocol is handled by adding new cvars
cl_voipProtocol and sv_voipProtocol, sv_voip and cl_voip
are used to auto set/clear them. All users need to touch
are cl/sv_voip as 0 or 1 just like before.
Old Speex VoIP packets in demos are skipped.
New VoIP packets are skipped in demos if sv_voipProtocol
doesn't match cl_voipProtocol.
Notable difference between usage of speex and opus codecs,
when using Speex client would be sent 80ms at a time.
Using Opus, 60ms is sent at a time. This was changed because
the Opus codec supports encoding up to 60ms at a time.
(Simpler to send only one codec frame in a packet.)
After playing Team Arena, if you switch to Q3A and try to play a demo with
cl_allowDownload enabled it would print "Need Paks: blah blah" and not play the demo.
Have cls.localServers use CL_InitServerInfo.
Don't set cls.localServers netType to from.type, it's the wrong value.
Note: server->visible is not cleared in CL_InitServerInfo, as stated by a comment below a place where CL_InitServerInfo is used.

This Patch fixes:
################################################################################
- The "fraglimit warning" was not played at all, if on the blue team.
- The "where" console command was broken.
- Obelisk explosion wasn't drawn if no Rocketlauncher was loaded.
- Impact marks sometimes didn't draw at all.
- IMPORTANT BUGFIX: No killing for cheaters with Lightning gun and Gauntlet.
- If two doors are close to each other a spectator couldn't fly through them.
- More robust, efficient and logical respawning routine.
NOTE: The game.qvm will get notable smaller and will use LESS MEMORY!
- Drowning sounds are fixed. Now they are played as intended. (as the id
comment
in the source code shows).
- Some AI bugs (OVERFLOW!) in the bot movement code.
- Several "Team Arena" Overload and Harvester bugs.
- Stops bots from attacking a team mate (player) who only changed teams.
- Some voice chats and CTF commands fixed.
- "Team_ReturnFlag" was called twice, which did wired things sometimes.
NOTE: (G_RunItem checks CONTENTS_NODROP already!)
- A bugfix for Gauntlet animation.
- Incorrect CTF scoring.
- A bunch of corrected comments and print lines ("\n").
- Some regularity of expression and some small trivial bugs.

********************************************************************************
BUG: in gamemode GT_TEAM the fraglimit warning will not be played if joining
the
blue team!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: In "CG_CheckLocalSounds": if cgs.scores2 > highScore, highScore
should
be cgs.scores2.
********************************************************************************
BUG: the "where" console command doesn't work as expected (it's always 0 0 0)
but not in id Quake 3 Arena. It seems that now Ioquake3 is affected!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: In Function "Cmd_Where_f" ent->s.origin should be
ent->r.currentOrigin.
********************************************************************************
BUG: in gamemode GT_OBELISK obelisk explosion won't be drawn if there is no
Rocketlauncher loaded. (The "maps without Rocketlauncher" bug)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: in "cg_main.c": cgs.media.rocketExplosionShader should be registered
if gamemode is GT_OBELISK.
********************************************************************************
BUG: Impact marks sometimes doesn't draw at all. Not easy to reproduce if you
don't play (io)Quake3 every day and know the places where it happens! ;)
But anyway...
Test: start q3dm12 go to "Long Jump Canyon" (where the small platform
teleporter for the BFG is) place yourself at the point where the railgun
spawns, look in the direction where the red suspended armor is. Now shoot
at the sloped wall on the out/leftside of the door you see. (the sloped
wall should be nearly in the center of your screen now). If you choose the
correct brush face and shoot up and down at this brush face, the impact
marks sometimes aren't visible.
There are hundreds of custom maps where this can happen!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: I replaced the function "SnapVectorTowards" with the one from
"Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory (GPL Source Code)"
********************************************************************************
BUG: Normally "NOCLIP" cheaters are logically not allowed to fire a gun.
Unfortunatly the Gauntlet (and Lightning gun) was forgotten and not
restricted to that. All weapons except those two were handled correct.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: Make Gauntlet and Lightning gun not firing for someone who cheats
with "NOCLIP" (like all other weapons).
********************************************************************************
NOTE: A few bugfixes are not mine and are reported here:
http://www.quake3world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9179.
Thanks to Quake3world, for all those years and the good guys there!
********************************************************************************
BUG: During making a mod I found a very strange bug, which mainly occurs if
someone tries to implement a lot of singleplayer monsters which should
walk
slowly (like the "Crash" bot). So if someone wants to make slow down bots
or monsters when they are walking towards a goal and alter the function
"BotMoveInGoalArea" then the bots/monsters do stupid things. Otherwise and
this is the default (also buggy) behavior they start running although they
shouldn't (as seen with the "Crash" bot and will not be fixed here).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: Fix overflow in bot user command. BUGFIX from "Hunt" mod by J.
Hoffman.
********************************************************************************
BUG: in function "BotMoveToGoal" the special elevator case doesn't make sense.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: in "be_ai_move.c": ((result->flags & MOVERESULT_ONTOPOF_FUNCBOB) ||
(result->flags & MOVERESULT_ONTOPOF_FUNCBOB))
should be ((result->flags & MOVERESULT_ONTOPOF_ELEVATOR) ||
(result->flags & MOVERESULT_ONTOPOF_FUNCBOB)).
********************************************************************************
BUG: in function "BotWantsToRetreat" and "BotWantsToChase" this is wrong:
"(bs->enemy != redobelisk.entitynum || bs->enemy !=
blueobelisk.entitynum)"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: "... redobelisk.entitynum) && (bs->enemy != blueobelisk.." is
correct.
********************************************************************************
BUG: in gamemode GT_OBELISK there are too many node switches for bots
(test: mpq3tourney6 with many bots). If that happens, game becomes
unplayable. I don't know if this is the best solution but here it is:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: In function "AINode_Battle_Fight" right after:
if (!BotEntityVisible(bs->entitynum, bs->eye, bs->viewangles, 360, bs->enemy))
{
I added this:
#ifdef MISSIONPACK
if (bs->enemy == redobelisk.entitynum || bs->enemy ==
blueobelisk.entitynum)
{
AIEnter_Battle_Chase(bs, "battle fight: obelisk out of sight");
return qfalse;
}
#endif
********************************************************************************
BUG: in gamemode >= GT_TEAM, after team change, bots will (sometimes) not stop
shooting at you, although you are on their team now. It seems that the
configstrings are f***** up or not reliable in this case!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: In function "BotTeam" and "BotSameTeam" get the real team values.
********************************************************************************
BUG: Some of the bots voice commands are wrong. They are commanded to attack
the
enemy base but they say "Okay, I will defend!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: Corrected some voice commands in "BotCTFOrders_FlagNotAtBase" and
"Bot1FCTFOrders_EnemyDroppedFlag"
********************************************************************************
BUG: Spectators couldn't fly through doors if they are very close to each
other.
You can test it with some regular id maps (q3dm14, q3dm12) but there are
also many custom maps where this can happen! This is annoying because in
the worst case you can't move at all and are caught inside a door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: There is a solution in a mod called "Hunt" by J. Hoffman.
Bugfix is included in this patch!
********************************************************************************
BUG: During making a mod I found it very hard to implement some of my ideas
(something like "Limbo" or "Meeting") because of the way the player spawn
effect, intermission and spawning on victory pads is handled. I reworked
it
a bit and simplified it so that the effect is handled when a client
respawns
(as the name says) and not when a client begins. I think this will help
more
mod makers everytime they want to make changes to spawning of players,
bots
on victory pads or monsters... and want to avoid spectators with
Machineguns
which can kill and score... :()
NOTE: I also renamed the poorly named function "respawn"
to "ClientRespawn". If someone searches the code base for "respawn"
it was really hard to find the correct place for what was
meant. "respawn" is used so often, that you really get headache ...
now with "ClientRespawn" it's easier!
IMPORTANT: The whole respawning, moving to intermission point and
everything related to that is now done in a more reliable way
without changing the default behavior. (How critical the whole
spwaning mess was did you see by yourself (ioquake3 rev. 2076).
With this patch it's safer.
Trust me, I spent hours of fixing silly problems...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: Simplified "ClientBegin" and moved the teleport event
to "ClientSpawn".
********************************************************************************
BUG: If a player is dying or hurted under water the hurt/dying sounds AND the
drowning sounds are played together. This is silly. Moreover it's no good
idea to let the server play client sounds! There was a solution in a mod
called "Q3A++" by Dan 'Neurobasher' Gomes which fixes the problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: Created a "CG_WaterLevel" function to play the appropriate sounds.

################################################################################
- Get rid of ugly cvars sv_heartbeat and cl_gamename and replace with single com_gamename
- Remove sv_flatline. Flatlines are ignored by dpmaster and are considered to be insecure because flatlines can be udp-spoofed.
- Fix Ryan's FIXME and have voip packet buffer on the server dynamically allocated via Z_Malloc and store pointers in a circular buffer
- Improve voip target parsing on top of Ben Millwood's patch
- Add new "spatial" target where speaker is spatialized in 3d space and can be heard by all clients in hearing range (s_alMaxDistance)
(#4467)
- Decrease voip sound lengths from 240ms to 80ms per voip packet to mitigate udp packet loss and decrease latency
- Protocol version incremented to 71
- Make server send packet fragments and queued packets when server is idle
- Voip protocol detection is tied to com_protocol making past-end-of-message reading unncessary
- Use Hunk_AllocateTempMemory() for buffering VOIP packets and fix buffering scheme that ryan hates so much
- Disable packet scrambling for new protocol as it is useless now
- Get rid of the old packet scrambling functions predating latest point release
- Use Hunk_AllocateTempMemory() for netchan packet queue to fix memory leak when client gets disconnected with packets in the queue
- Use Hunk_AllocateTempMemory() for download blocks to fix memory leak when client gets disconnected with download blocks in the queue
- Fix SV_RateMsec to account for udp/udp6 packet lengths
