r_lerp_list is to allow exceptions to r_2D_unfiltered (like for having
pixely UI in general, but filtered console background).
r_videos_unfiltered controls whether videos should be filtered or not
I also made r_nolerp_list CVAR_ARCHIVE, like users probably expect it.
There were complains that always generating footsteps is annoying,
because there will be footsteps while swimming or jumping. Refine
the cvar a little bit:
* `0`: No footsteps at all.
* `1`: Vanilla Quake II behavior.
* `2`: Always footsteps as long as the player has a ground entity.
* `3`: Always footsteps.
The changes the meaning of the values, `2` has become `3`.
Closes#738.
The commanders body entity is special, because it's spawned in god mode.
That's no problem in the baseq2 and addons campaigns. But it may break
some custom maps and prevents some hacks, one example is putting the
entity inside an killbox.

When creating the Vulkan texture samplers, make them have the real
anisotropic filtering value selected by the user. This has two side
effects:
* We no longer need two sets of texture samplers in Vulkan (one with and
another one without anisotropic filtering).
* The anisotropic filter value in Vulkan is no longer an on/off switch
and we use the value as chosen by the user.
One of the most common bug reports is, that the fullscreen mode doesn't
behave like users expect. This is caused by `vid_fullscreen 1` setting
desktop fullscreen mode (a fullscreen windows) and not the native
fullscreen mode. This commits switches the semantics:
* 1: Native fullscreen, like Vanilla Quake II.
* 2: Desktop fullscreen.
With this alt-tab reverts to native fullscreen. While at it improve the
documentation, suggest setting `r_mode -2` when using `vid_fullscreen
2`. Change the menu strings to make things clearer, set `r_mode -2` when
selecting 'fullscreen window' in the menu.
I pondered several other options:
* Introducing a second cvar for the desktop fullscreen, like we did in
dhewm3. This has the problem, that in Quake II vi_fullscreen is
special and used to communicate changed to the renderer configuration
between the client and renderer. A second fullscreen cvar would
complicate this already shaky mechanism even more.
* Setting `r_mode -2` when `vid_fullscreen 2`. This might not be what
the user wants and causes problems when we're unable to get the
desktop resolution.
1: The Vanilla Quake II behaviour, footsteps are generated when the
player is faster than 255.
0: Footstep sounds are never generated.
2: Footstep sounds are always generated.
Defaults to `1`, cheat protected to `1`.
Closes#666.
This was added in e3e5bd1 as a work around for some openal-soft bug.
When too many audio samples got played at the same time, the global
volume dropped. This was fixed in openal-soft 0.19.0, released more
than two years ago. We're keeping the work around, because some
distros may still ship with buggy openal-soft versions and some
players may like the changed behavior. It's disabled by default.
When set to `1`, both `deathmatch` and `coop` are forced to `0`.
`maxclients` is forced to `1`. This makes it possible to play single
player campaigns over the dedicated server.
Closes#614.
All renderers had the fix, but it was only optional in the GL renderers.
And there it was missimplemented, cvars must be defined in the renderers
main() function. Otherwise they aren't available at startup.
Rename gl_fixsurfsky to r_fixsurfsky, implement it for all renderers and
enable it by default.
In Vanilla Q2 (without any point releases) the hyperblaster projectiles
emitted white light. In the 3.21 sources it's yellow. It likely changed
in on of the (early) point releases. Change it to yellow, the code now
matches 3.21.
Since the first release Yamagi Quake II used the more fanzy R1Q2 colors
for some dynamic lights:
* In R1Q2 the rocket has orange light, matching the color of the fire
trail and the generic explosion. Vanilla Quake II had yellow light,
the same as the blaster and several muzzle flashs.
* In R1Q2 hyperblaster projectiles are emitting yellow light, like the
normal blaster. That matches the projectile colors, the muzzle flash
and the effect when hitting a wall. And it's more logical, since the
hyperblaster is just a blaster on steroids. Vanilla Quake II had white
/ uncolored lights.
Add an option to revert to Vanilla Quake II colors, leave the R1Q2
colors as default. Closes#640.
This commit adds a new cvar called vk_pixel_size that represents how big
pixels should look in the rendered world in order to simulate lower
screen resolutions. With its default value of 1 everything looks normal,
but with bigger sizes (e.g. 4) the rendered world starts to look
"pixelated" due to pixels appearing bigger.
To implement the effect, the viewport and scissor are modified when
drawing the world so the rendering results cover a smaller area in the
top-left corner of the image.
The post-processing fragment shader is used to scale the image back to
the swapchain size before drawing UI elements on top of it.
The UI is not affected by this change, so the existing UI scaling
options continue to work as before with no changes, adding some
flexibility to the mix.
Related to feature request #588.
Angle kicks are used for weapon recoil, damage kicks and the like.
Setting the `cl_anglekicks` to `0` ignored them, they're read from
the network but not displayed. The cvar is cheat protected, it's
reset to `1` on server connect.

In coop it's often hard to get on the same elevator together, because
they're immediately triggered once the first player steps on it.
This cvar sets a delay (1 second by default) for the elevator to wait
before moving, so other players have some time to get on it.
If you like elevators/platforms that suck, just set it to `0` :-P
Currently only used in func_plat, if it turns out that other entities
are used for automatically triggered platforms, we'll have to adapt
those as well (I guess wait_and_change() is generally useful for that).
We're not bumping the savegame version because they should only break in
an uncommon corner case: *Coop* savegames created with clients including
this change will not work on older clients - SP savegames are not
affected and old savegames on new clients also still work.
In coop a weapon can be picked up only once. That's annoying, because in
coop ammunition is sparse and not getting the ammunition that comes with
a weapons make things worse. When `coop_pickup_weapons` is set to `1` a
weapon may be picked up if:
1) The player doesn't have the weapon in their inventory.
2) No other player has already picked it up.
Adaptive vsync is a often requested feauture and easy to implement. Set
`r_vsync` to `2` to enable. This is untested because my system doesn't
support it.
