There are various issues caused by not knowing the initial team for
the local client and bots when they connect. This is can be reproduced
by starting a team game from the main menu.
When g_teamAutoJoin is enabled, bots and local client join a random
team at connect and then execute their team command a few frames
later. This may result in the player being killed if they specify a
different team. In Team Arena's Harvester mode this causes harvester
skulls to be spawned at the beginning of the game.
When g_teamForceBalance is enabled, the local client and bots may not
be able to join their desired team. This may result in them being
spectators. If g_teamAutoJoin is also enabled they may be left on
the opposite (red/blue) team they were meant to join.
There is a hack for including bot's team in their player info string
(used by cgame for which team skin to use) before the bot joins
their desired team. Bots aren't guaranteed to join their desired team
(as may happen when both g_teamAutoJoin and g_teamForceBalance are
enabled) so clients may see them as being on the wrong team!
----
Add teampref userinfo option for team preference. If teampref is set
it will be used for attempting to join the team immediately at connect.
Bots now join team at connect using teampref userinfo. So remove
the hack for setting bot's team in player info string before the bot
joins the team.
To avoid the client sending teampref userinfo to all network servers,
the local client uses a g_localTeamPref cvar. The g_localTeamPref
cvar is cleared after it's used so it doesn't get used when starting
another server later. Another reason not to use a teampref userinfo
cvar is there isn't a reliable way to clear it in CGame/UI which are
likely loaded from baseq3 pk3.
Make it so g_teamAutoJoin doesn't affect clients who specify
teampref. If teampref is invalid, the client will join a random team
like g_teamAutoJoin.
Don't apply g_teamForceBalance to the local client or bots. Otherwise
they may be left as spectators when starting team game from menu.
The start server menus use team command and g_localTeamPref to set
the human player's team. This way it's compatible with vanilla Q3
game VMs and the new setting team at connect feature.
The Team Arena menu uses red team for single player but q3_ui
(and mods could) use blue. Also handle all the game types, not
just the ones used by Team Arena. Fixes FFA and Team DM.
The goal of reproducible builds is that a rebuild of the same source
code with the same compiler, libraries, etc. should result in the same
binaries. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH provides a standard way for build systems
to fill in the date of the latest source change, typically from a git
commit or from metadata like the debian/changelog in Debian packages.
This does not change anything if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not defined;
the intention is that a larger build system like a Debian package
will define it.
Please see https://reproducible-builds.org/ for more information about
reproducible builds.
Game sets CS_INTERMISSION to 1 at intermission, but does not clear it at
map_restart so it's only sent the first time. CG_MapRestart manually clears
cg.intermissionStarted (which is set to value of CS_INTERMISSION when it's
modified). So subsequent intermissions do not have cg.intermissionStarted
enabled.
Now CS_INTERMISSION is cleared and sent each time intermission is started
and cg.intermissionStarted is enabled each time.
This makes subsequent intermissions not play sounds in CG_CheckLocalSounds
during the 1 second between intermission starting and switching to scoreboard
(PM_INTERMISSION) and makes Team Arena voice chats not play.
- In G_AddBot, try to allocate clientNum before doing anything else.
- In G_AddBot, don't set SVF_BOT and inuse. It's done in ClientConnect, plus inuse causes ClientDisconnect to be run for no reason.
- In G_AddBot, only set skill in bot useinfo once.
- Avoid using cl->ps.clientNum to check if cl is a bot.
- A stupid bug where bots re-trigger jumppads if they fell onto it.
- A small "memset" bug concerning player animations.
- Reward sounds were never cleared and thus they are played on a map restart.
- Safer and more secure handling of disconnected clients and clients with
malformed or illegal info strings.
- first_gauntlet_hit.wav was not played (ops/ps) bug
- capturelimit not hit (from OAX)
################################################################################
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.

Clear game logfile handle after closing file.
Game does not clear logFile handle when closing file. Might be an issue if
G_LogPrintf is called after this.
Patch from tremulous http://svn.icculus.org/tremulous?view=rev&revision=2041
This will prevent further symbol clashes, and makes the shared libraries
10 to 20 percent smaller.
We should enable this on other platforms, too, if we can guarantee they'll
use gcc 4.0 or later and the platform supports it.
