Sometimes, when half-submerged in opaque water (head/camera still
above water), explosions and similar weren't drawn, because
1. The check whether a client gets a message to draw an explosion (etc)
uses the clients origin, not the camera position
2. Apparently the map compiler was buggy and (only in some places!)
didn't correctly mark areas in the PVS/PHS (PHS is for hearing) as
connected even though they should be (when underwater you should be
able to hear things in the region above the water, even if the water
is opaque and you can't see it).
This is an experimental(!) workaround that does a second check with a
higher origin if the first check fails and the client is currently
(considered) under water.
It's totally possible that this breaks other things, I don't know..
By the way, a good place to test this is the first water area in jail1
A cool effect used in 'mine2' map ("train2"), ruined 'train' map; fixed
Player pain readjusted by type, resulting intensity is now almost equal for all
instead of the "higher health" ones being bigger, which didn't make sense
Quake II has two palettes. One static palette used for the world and one
dynamic palette used by cinematics. Switching from the cinematic back to
the world palette is handled by putting up the loading plaque. Since a
cinematic always ends with loading somehting else this generally works.
Unfortunatly setting `developer 1` skips the loading plaque. The palette
never gets reset and the world looks like a bad LSD trip. ;) A correct
fix is complicated, because the loading plaque logic is messed up and
working by luck. Reworking the logic has a high propability breaking
corner cased exploited by mods.
Therefor take the easy route and uncoditionally switch to the world
palette when bringing up the loading plaque with `developer 1`.
Closes#925.
commit 93e9633382 "Port step smoothing code from r1q2." ported
r1q2 stair step smoothing for ranges that are equivalent to 8, 12 and 16
units/step.
Later in commit 7f996cc "Don't smooth half height steps" we removed
step sizes 8 and 12, because it appeared to make an elevator in hangar2
(over the water, after jump'n'run sequency) stutter.
However, in reality what made them stutter was the broken comparison
for velocity with an illegal cast, that we later fixed in
e30f82494 "Don't cast the array itself but it's content."
So now restore the smoothing for step sizes 8 and 12, which hopefully
fixes bug #923, and definitely does *not* break the elevater in hangar2.
The steps when loading a savegame are:
1. The server loads the map.
2. Loading the map spawns all entities, i.e. their spawn func is called.
This loads the models, precaches the sounds, etc.
3. The savegame is loaded and all the entities in the edict are replaced
by the entities read from game.ssv.
When the monster footstep sound were added in cfb86ac, new sounds were
added to the spawn functions of most monster entities. This alters the
sound indices of all sounds precached at a later time. When a savegame
from an older version is loaded, the entities read from game.svv still
reference the old sound indices. This leads to the wrong sound getting
played.
Work around this by lazy loading the footstep sounds. Instead of loading
(precaching) them in the spawn function, load them at their first use.
This has the nice side effect of preventing the "missing sound" messages
when running without the footsteps.pkz file in baseq2/. It might lead to
short stuttering when the sound is played for the first time, though.
Closes#917.
Fixes crash when entering "multiplayer" -> "player setup" menu with a skin name len > 16
Fixes "playermodels" cmd, which showed "(null)" as a final skin for every model
It seems to return -1 if the leaf is in the void; sometimes it
also seems to happen when you're just close to a wall, maybe due to
(mis)prediction.
ASan complains about this, but in practice it probably can't cause
issues, as the byte left to the mask array (from CM_ClusterPVS() or
CM_ClusterPHS()) will either belong to another global variable or
padding between them. Fixed it anyway.
Enabled by default, can be disabled via s_reverb 0. Also by default
picks preset automatically out of 7 presets based on surrounding
size, this function can be disabled via s_reverb_preset_autopick 0.
Presets can be set manually via s_reverb_preset (0-113).

When a spin control is at min or max value, pressing the arrow key to
switch to the next nonexiting value executes the callback function. That
is confusing.
Example: 'freelook' is set to 'no'. The user presses left arrow,
switching to the nonexiting value before no. The code handles the
case and resets the current value drom -1 to 0. Nevertheless the
callback is executed and switches 'freelook' from no to yes...
Fix that by not executing the callback when we're at min or max value.
Closes#884.
Changed 6 cvars for stick layout to 1; includes menu option
Axial deadzone replaced with radial one, 6 cvars to 2
Expo different for each thumbstick (1 cvar to 2); sliders included
Expo applied to full joystick vector magnitude, instead of per axis
Deleted "joystick_up" ("updown" function) and its sensitivity
Converted model info from AOS to SOA
All strings allocated dynamically at run-time
New command "playermodels" prints valid models to console
Fixes any bugs that may have existed in the directory search
The issue still exists of undefined behavior if a directory name for a
model exceeds the predefined limits.
This didn't work correctly for multiple reasons:
1. `deltayaw` was wrongly initialized for the pusher itself, rather than
for pushed client.
2. `delta_angles[YAW]` is a short, adding plain `amove[YAW]` to it is
wrong.
To support yaw angle rotation properly, delta_angles must be
interpolated on the client. But this is hardly practical as it would
introduce other bugs. Thus, simply remove delta yaw manipulation code
altogether.
Fixes infamous Q2 bug when player standing on a blocked lift gets turned
into wrong direction.
Old sliders required some of their associated cvars to be "extern" so
their current value could be read. That's no longer needed, so they are
"static" now.
"menuslider_s" types, used to create sliders in menus, now are directly
associated to a cvar. That makes possible for them to get their
currently selected value from the cvar, and express their min and max
values in terms of the real values of the cvar.
The rhythm at how they change can be overridden with s->slidestep.
The new sliders also present visually their current value to the user,
making them more useful than before.
"init_delay" was renamed to "updates_countdown", since it's now a "general
purpose" countdown, having also to count the inputs left for gyro calibration,
besides controller initialization.
Reason for the countdown is now explicit, not having to depend if
"gyro_calibration" was true or not to select what was the purpose of the
countdown.
Explanation comment added for gyro initialization on Linux & Mac.
REMINDER: see if SDL2 will keep the difference of gyro readings between Windows
and Linux/Mac for the Switch controllers.
For example, on Windows with AMDs drivers, GLES3 isn't supported,
so CreateSDLWindow() will fail. We should just try the regular GL3
renderer then instead of exiting with Com_Error()
Also make (Windows') Sys_Error() print to stdout (in addition to stderr),
so errors end up in stdout.txt as well (like all other messages).
SDL2 provides different gyro readings between Windows and Linux/Mac for
the Switch Pro Controller. To keep the natural sensitivity scale intact
(in-game turn = controller turn), the normalization factor is handled
differently by platform, at least for now.
Also, now giving info when there's no gyro sensor available/detected.
And green light for the DualShock 4, because why not :)
Cvar to choose between "yaw" (0) or "roll" (1) axis of the controller
to turn (change your yaw) in-game.
Cvars to change pitch and yaw gyro sensitivities.
Updated cvar documentation with new section "Game Controller".
SDL 2.0.16 and a controller with a gyroscope required to make it work.
Manual calibration of the gyro sensor is needed to avoid "drifting"; a menu
option to do it is included.
New cvar 'gyro_mode' for mode of operation, and to assign action to the new
"+gyroaction" button: disable or enable the gyro.
Several effects use dlights which are rendered for only one frame.
Muzzle flashes are an example. While this worked on 1997th computers,
todays hardware renders way too many frames for these dlights to be
visible at all. Work around that by enforcing a minimal display time
of 32 milliseconds for each dlight.
Fixes part of #815.
When a key/button name is too long, and its bound to an inventory element, its
display in the inventory screen misaligns the item it is bound to, even pushing
it out of the inventory frame.
This commit limits its display to the maximum of 6 characters the inventory
screen allows.
Adds menu bitmap struct, drawing of a menu bitmap and highlighting if bitmap menu item is in focus.
Allows items that are gray (inactive) to be skipped when adjusting the menu cursor.
Removed switch case from Menu_SelectItem, all items either do or do not call their callback functions.
