Slight optimization for gyro aiming
Better console messages in game controller init
`s_info->samples' is very big, even for short wave files. Multiply it by
1000 has a very high chance of flowing over and it is a wonder that so
far no one noticed it. Fix the overflow by working on 64 bit integers.
Closes#931.
I was reported a strange problem were GL3 is crashing with SIGBUS while
enumerating the GL extensions. To me it looks like a problem in Nvidias
FreeBSD driver, which for some reason doesn't reproduce on my machine.
However it' hard to tell what exactly happens without a full backtrace
and the user is unable to provide one... For the future try to handle
SIGBUS to catch those problems.
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.
