AL_PlayChannel() is only called by AL_AddLoopSounds() and
S_IssuePlaysound() - but only the latter set a volume there.
Because of that, loopsounds weren't hearable anymore after the last
commit which removed adding s_volume to all volumes in AL_PlayChannel().
This is fixed by setting the volume for looped sounds in
AL_AddLoopSounds() as well.
Looped sounds don't seem to have a customizable volume and are always
played at full volume (the volume is only changed by distance, but
OpenAL does that automatically).
The CD music enable / disable box wasn't used by many users for two
reasons: CD music playback needs a CDROM drive with analog output.
Such drives aren't available for at least 10 years. And CD music is
unsupported with SDL2. A OGG volume slider is much more usefull.
Con_DrawConsole() assumed that the version string was always 21chars
long, we changed it to allow longer strings with other lenghts.
In Unix main() we changed the code for underlining
"Yamagi Quake II $version" with === so the underlining is as long
as the underlined string.
Moving the check under the "do we have the file localy" check prevents
spurious "Refusing to download a path with .." messages with some game
data. The tank commander skin is one example. This change has no
security impact since FS_LoadFile() just opens and closes the file.
While at it tighten the condition to prevent pathes with colons (this
condition is added at the server side, too) and pathes starting with
slashes and dots.
When the keypad was activated key presses were processed twice.
Once as a normal char event and once as a key event (not marked
as special). The key event to console character translation
function turned the key event into a second character...
The savegame list is generated by calling FS_FOpenFile() for each
possible savegame name. When a file handle is returned the savegame
exists, otherwise the savegame slot is empty. But FS_FOpenFile()
searches in every directory known to the VFS. If a savegame file
isn't found in $moddir but in baseq2, the file in baseq2 is opened
and a baseq2 savegame is displayed in the mods / addons savegame menu.
The fix is compromise between a clean solution and invasiveness:
- Refactor FS_FOpenFile() to include FS_FOpenFileRead(). FS_FOpenFile()
was used only to open read only files, limit its's possibilities to
do exactly that.
- Introduce a new flag "gamedir_only" to FS_FOpenFile(). When true
only the gamedir directories are searched and not other directories
like baseq2.
- Change all callers to FS_FOpenFile()s new signature.
- Use the new gamedir_only flag to limit the searchpath for savegames
to the gamedir.
OpenAL sources are reused in Quake2, so if a source has once been used
for a sound coming from the view entity, it'd stay relative, unless
told not to.
So now I set source's AL_SOURCE_RELATIVE to AL_TRUE or AL_FALSE in
AL_PlayChannel(), depending on the source coming from the player or not.
Thanks a lot to Tommi Teistelä for identifying the problem and pushing
me in the right direction!
should hopefully fix#93, which seemed to be caused by ^ and ` being
bound to toggleconsole in default.cfg (as shipped with Q2) *and*
in code, so it'd be called twice and cancel each other out.
It even warns if someone tries to bind those keys and includes an ugly
hack to *not* warn when it's done in default.cfg, to minimize confusion.
OGG_OpenName(): add ogg_ignoretrack0 cvar to set whether we respect
default playback behaviour when track 0 is requested to be played via
standard cd audio playback.

As Jack Whitham noticed [0], animated textures freeze at their first
frame if they're on a transparent surface. This can be seen in base3
(Com Centre), for example. At least for the OpenGL renderer this is
caused by the fact that the animation chain is never forwarded if the
texture is bound to a transparent surface. The fix is to do exactly
that...
I can only speculate why the animations on transparent surfaces were
never used / implemented. Maybe performance issues or it was just
forgotten.

sounds easy, right?
Except some genius decided to save CVAR_LATCH cvars in buffers of
MAX_OSPATH length into savegames.. so just changing MAX_OSPATH
breaks savegame compatibility.
Fortunately, this assumption only matters in SV_WriteServerFile() and
SV_ReadServerFile() so I worked around it by introducing a
platform-specific LATCH_CVAR_SAVELENGTH (because MAX_OSPATH was 256 on
Windows but 128 on other systems..)
it's saved in $HOME/.yq2/$mod/history.txt
While I was at it, I made the max number of lines in the history
configurable at compiletime by introducing a NUM_KEY_LINES #define
It's apparently not enough to clear key repeats, we'll need to clear
the down states too. Without this Alt stays pressed after toggeling
fullscreen trhough Alt-Enter.
Switching to fullscreen through a SDL2 call is nice, but the renderer
needs to be reinitialized. Without it some things will break, for
example the gamma setting.
No, this is not a rage quit but the result of a long discussion. There
are several reasons for us to drop OS X support:
- OS X support was always more or less hacky. For example is was never
really integrated into the build system and some features like the
OpenAL sound backend never worked well.
- The OS X support never grew into the new world based upon SDL2.
- It was broken since at least Lion which was released 4 years ago.
- None of the developers has a Mac or plans to buy one. Supporting
a software for a platform not used by the developers is more or
less impossible.
- And despite several appeals no one from the OS X community ever
stept up and send patches.
Removed are:
- Makefile support
- The OpenAL quirks
- The Cocoa bindings
- The framworks
Not removed is:
- Savegame support
- Memory management support
- Platform detection
- OpenGL and SDL includes
So, if someone steps up and does a modern, fully integrated port based
upon SDL2 we're happy to merge it back. The requirements are:
- It must be a clean port, without any hacks
- Full build system integration must be provided
- The port must be maintained even after it was merged. At every release
binaries must be build, API / ABI changes with new OS X versions must
be tracked.
Retexturing support is now always on (you can still switch it off with
the gl_retexturing CVAR), as we don't have the additional libjpeg
dependency anymore.
stb_image is used for tga, jpg and the newly supported png, so the
old tga and jpeg loading code has been removed.
I furthermore cleaned up the somehow messy and possibly slightly broken
retexturing selection code in R_FindImage()
Check and use GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two and use it if present to allow using all textures unscaled. This makes a huge visual improvement since most skins are not power-of-two textures.

Okay, I tried to solve this issue the gentle way. But apparently it's
not enough to track if a key is down. We must consider if the key is
just down or if it's already repeating... Therefor raise the white flag
and just put the original logic back in place. This may fix issue #57.
When we're building command we must make sure, that all command for
one keystroke will have the timestamp in microseconds. If that's not
the case the command may end up in differend server frames, breaking
things subtile. This may be part of bug #57, but I'm not sure.
This is a less intrusive variant of the old Key_ClearState() function.
When the refresher is restarted or the menu is left, this function is
called to mark all keys as "up". That works around some corner cases
where a key is still marked "down" and thus the first stroke is detected
as a repetition.
- Handling of key combinations like Alt + Return or Shift + Escape
clearly belong into the frontend. Now that the client won't clear
the keystates any more it's save to handle them there.
- The 'force_centerview' command belongs into the client move stuff.
I guess it was part of the backend sinces it messes with mouse
handling. Since the renderer is now part of the client that's not
necessary anymore.
- One can argue that +mlook and -mlook belong into client move stuff,
too. But since we need there calculations in the backend anyway,
leave things like they are.
Until now Quake 2 used keysyms aka key events for everything, including
the console and the chat window. Since key events don't reflect if the
shift key is pressed, Quake 2 needed to convert the lower case chars to
upper case char through a hardcoded table. That lead to the problem that
the keyboard layout was utilised for lower case characters only.
Solve this long standing problem by refactoring both the input backend
and the frontends Key_Event() funktion to use character events for most
input subsystem. Character events are generated by SDL and send the
real character.
An example:
- On german keyboards shift and . is : but Quake 2 generated <.
- Now a character event with : is generated and used.
There are at least 3 disadvantes by this approach:
- The backend needs to tell the frontend if a normal character (ASCII
32 to 126) or a special character is send. Only normal characters can
be treated as character events.
- There may be some differences between the binding of a key seen
through the console and seen by the game. If you have a german
keyboard and bind :, the game may not react to :. This can be worked
around by editing the config file.
- Users may need to rebind some keys.
Please note that Quake 2 can handle ASCII characters only!
In the old times the refresher was a stand alone DLL. For performance
reasons and to avoid laggy input parts of the input system were
implemented in this DLL. Now that the renfresher is part of the main
binary and initialized at client startup we can remove most of the
abstractions between input system, refresher and client. Also the
input system can be treated as a normal subsystem.
Changes:
- Untangle the VID_* stuff and the IN_* stuff. The functions
called by function pointers in in_state are now called directly
and 'struct in_state' was removed.
- Remove input.h and rename the appropriate backend functions.
There's no longer a need for an abstraction layer between the
input backend and the input frontend.
- Move input initialization and shutdown into CL_Init(), like it's
already done for all other subsystems.
- Remove Key_ClearStates(). I'm pretty sure that's a left over from
the old Win 9x backends and unnecessary.
- General cleanup.
Historicaly this functions were used to adjust the cd music volume. In
YQ2 they were converted to enable or disable the cd music. Change their
name to match their current purpose.
This commit has some drawbacks:
- It's rather hacky. The Quake II menu is crap and was never intended
to be scaled. My approach was to add scaling to most of the generic
functions and handle all the special cases in the non generic parts
of the menu. A better solution would require to rewrite at least
parts of the menu. And like it's said in qmenu.c: I won't do that.
- Some menu elements are aligned to the right, others to the left. In
many places magic numbers are used to align elements by hand. This
makes it very hard to impossible to implement a scaling logic which
works in all situations. With this approach most menus look good up
to at least a scaling factor of 3. Especially the "Player Setup"
menu is very problematic at small disalignements are unavoidable.
Please note, that only the menu system itself is scaled. Some elements
like the the "Quit Screen" or the loading plaque are still missing. They
will be done in a later commit.
This change is needed to break a otherwise fatal cycle:
- The renderer calls VID_MenuInit()
- VID_MenuInit() calls SCR_GetMenuScale()
- SCR_GetMenuScale() relies on gl_menuscale which is still
uninitialized at this time.
This fixes a long standing and until now unnoticed bug with negative
colored dynamic lights. Since we never set the OpenGL renderer as out
renderer, remaining softrenderer code was executed and the corresponding
effects never rendered. This manifested itself in missing darkness
around the "gravity well" in rogue.
