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.
This prevenits the worlds from advancing during client connect. The
player won't get attacked by monsters or hurt by the environment. Note
that in baseq2 there're still 4 world frames processed by the game and
100 world frames if the player enters a level that he or she already
visited. Both aren't a big problem, 4 world frames are hardly enough
for monsters starting to attack and in most levels the starting area
can't be reached by monsters and is free from environmental effects.
Pause mode is only entered for local servers and only in single player
mode. This should prevent problems with coop and deathmatch games.
The behaviour can be controlled by `cl_loadpaused`:
* `0`: Do not enter pause mode, Vanilla Quake I behaviour.
* `1`: Enter pause mode at load and leave it at first regular server
frame.
* `2`: Enter pause mode at load, never leave it. The player must leave
it by hand.
This was requested in issue #417.
cvar operations are special commands that allow the programmatic
manipulation of cvar values. 'reset' resets a given cvar to it's
default value, e.g. `reset r_mode' would reset `r_mode` to `4`.
'resetall' resets all known cvar with the exception of `game`.
The code is based upon q2pro.
This is part of issue #414.
The packaging guide contained a lot if informations for the 6.x -> 7.x
migration. Since 7.x has long been done remove that instructions and
clarify the generic ones.
