When refreshing local servers, Team Arean UI never changed the status
message when it timed out. This gave a false impression it was still
looking for servers.
Let's continue looking for local servers in q3_ui and Team Arena UI
until one is found.
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.
Previously tested a mod cvar which may be wrong when multiple
mods are involved or config is reset. Let's check the server
cache's internet server count directly.
Opening the find friend menu in the Team Arena server browser
hitches due to trying to resolve blank host names.
In UI_BuildFindPlayerList() status requests that are initial or
completed state or have timed out get reset. This means it starts
with MAX_SERVERSTATUSREQUESTS (16) blank host names. So just ignore
them in UI_GetServerStatusInfo().
The console message "1 servers listed in browser with 2 players."
would count clients multiple times when viewing favorite servers.
When viewing favorite servers in Team Arena UI, servers are added
to list before getting ping response. Each time UI checked pings
and inserted server it incremented the player count.
Filter favorite servers based on cached server info and new info
instead of only the cached info.
If cached server info is filtered out, don't add it to server list
but wait for getinfo response before marking server as invisible.
Having to manually request the list, with two buttons (get new
list, refresh list) is somewhat confusing. Also since it looks
like there are no servers, users might not try to figure out
how to get the server list.
The first time viewing a master server list in Team Arena UI,
automatically request a new server list. After that the cache
will be available with a timestamp of the last refresh time.
I think this will make it easier to understand how the menu
works.
This may cause unneeded updating of the server cache because the
last refresh timestamp is per-fs_game but the server cache is
shared by all games. This will only occur once for each game
though so it's not a big concern.
As with the other branch of the if/else, each element of
foundPlayerServerNames is in fact the same size as each element of
foundPlayerServerAddresses, so it was fine; but it's better to make
it obvious that we are using the right array sizes.
This function is used in the Team Arena menus
I don't think it's actually possible to reach this line with
foundPlayerServerNames < 1, because by the time we get here we have
set it to 1 + the actual number of servers; but if we did, it would
clearly underflow into foundPlayerServerNames[-1], which would be
undefined behaviour. gcc 6 diagnoses this with a warning:
code/ui/ui_main.c: In function ‘UI_BuildFindPlayerList’:
code/ui/ui_main.c:4138:16: warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
Also correct the sizeof() invocation to make it more obviously
correct (in fact the buffers for names and addresses happen to both
be of size MAX_ADDRESSLENGTH, so it was fine, but it's good to be
obvious).
Make Yes/No, Multi, Slider, and Bind items allow enter key to change
value without mouse over item. Add support for left and right arrow keys
and joystick button 1-4 to Yes/No, Multi, and Slider and many item
specific 'ownerdraw' key handlers.
Listbox still requires mouse hover and Team Arena main menu requires
mouse hover to get anywhere...
Enabling K_JOY1-4 to select in default key handler also caused additional
mouse button (K_AUX1-16) to select, which is done in q3_ui as well. Both
handle K_AUX equally badly (not treated as a mouse button and not handled
by item specific key handlers), so it's probably fine.
Text_Width's scale argument will be multiplied by glyphScale, so don't
pass useScale that is already multiplied by glyphScale as this makes
the scale too big.
"orders" menu script is not used by Team Arena.
The same C format string was given an int or string argument depending on if
ordering a single person or everyone. Make it always use int.
Team Arena's text functions cast signed char values to int and use as an array index.
This works fine for values 0 to 127, but not for -128 to -1 which are a negative array index.
Instead use "character & 255" like client and original Q3 ui/cgame string drawing code.

********************************************************************************
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.

################################################################################
- Fix demo selection in team arena menu on case sensitive file systems
- Some changes in the way how vanilla q3 demo file lists are compiled in the menu
- Add capability to load demos with com_protocol suffix, partially applied patches from Simon McVittie
- Fix demo loading if protocol number has more digits than 2
- Minor refactoring, replace all occurances of suffix "dm_" with global macro DEMOEXT
* com_standalone now read-only
* add new cvars com_basegame, com_homepath
* standalone now automatically detected when com_basegame is set to something different than baseq3 and no id pak pk3s are found
* This fixes https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4699
- Replace a few hardcoded string literals with macros
- Add checks for Team Arena PK3s to FS_CheckPak0()
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.
