- Extratic changed to server var, that can be changed at any time
(net_extratic)
- Added net_extratic 2 which resends all unconfirmed tics
- Corrected bad variable typo in delay reporting
- Added delay times of all players to the scoreboard
- Removed balancing from packet-server (tried it, didn't work)
- Calculations remove an extra tic to account for possible bias
- Guests can now attempt to match latency with the arbitrator.
(net_loadbalance)
- Added althud feature to show arbitrator and local latency.
(hud_showlag 1 is on for netgames, 2 is always on)
Adapting during a dup frame caused jittery network performance
(especially when using high dup values).
The demoplayback check also didn't need to be there anyway.
- The waiting message is now always cleared, regardless if it needed to
be in the first place. It's a rather simple for-loop so I doubt it
matters.
- Nodes are also cleared from the list if they catch up while other
nodes are still behind.
- "lastglobalrecvtime" is now bumped after the waiting loop if a tic was
successful, rather then bumping it every time a packet was received. It
appears that you can receive a packet before the game knows it stalled,
thus stalling it anyway.
- Instead of comparing the nettics to the local node, all nodes are
tested against gametic+counts (the real reason why the game has
stopped).
- More then one node can be marked as late at any one time.
- In a packet-server game, the arbitrator is now assumed slow, rather
then testing it. There is no point, seeing as we already know the game
has stalled because of it.
defaults to 200. Setting it to 0 will restore the previous behavior of having no frame rate
limit. Note that vid_maxfps 35 is NOT the same as cl_capfps 1. cl_capfps caps the frame rate
by tying the video update directly to the game timer. With vid_maxfps 35, the video update and
game timer are running on separate timers, and results will not be as good as with cl_capfps 1,
which uses only one timer.

for multiplayer: They now always check through the eyes of every player. For players whose
cameras are not players, they also check through the eyes of those cameras.
- Using spynext/spyprev to switch from a non-player to a player now writes a command to the
network stream and lets Net_DoCommand() take care of it later. The logic here is that if
a player is viewing from something that isn't another player, then every player needs to know
about it for sync purposes. Consequently, when they stop viewing from a non-player and switch
to a player, everybody needs to know about that too. But if they are viewing from a
player, it doesn't matter which player it is, so they can spynext/spyprev all they want
without letting the other players know about it (and without potentially breaking demos--due
to the above-mentioned two codepointers--while doing it during demo playback).
- Replaced the instances of checking players[consoleplayer].camera for a valid pointer to
ones that do it for every player.
- Fixed: Upon changing levels, all players but the consoleplayer would have their cameras NULLed.
- Fixed: player_t::FixPointers() needs to bypass the read barriers, or it won't be able to
do substitutions of old objects that are pending deletion.

named, and to run a script using ACS_ExecuteAlways, you need to add "always" after the script
name but before any arguments. e.g.:
pukename "A Script" 1
Will run the script "A Script" with a single argument of 1, provided the script is not
already running.
pukename "A Script" always 1
Will always run the script "A Script" with a single argument of 1.

be made to clamp other actors' pitches to within the range (-90,+90)
degrees with the SPF_FORCECLAMP flag.
- Transmit the local viewpitch limits to the other players.
SVN r3323 (trunk)
- add a GetReplacement method to PClass to clean up some really ugly code
- Who wrote the 'kill' CCMD? The way it checked if two classes were identical was horrendously overcomplicated.
SVN r2601 (trunk)
machines, so when an NPC need to show the "enough" response, it has enough
information available to do so.
- Some new Strife Teaser fixes I forgot to commit are in here.
- Moved norawinput check into FindRawInputFunctions().
SVN r2120 (trunk)
unsigned integer that can use all 32 bits. They must therefore use
the unsigned mul instruction rather than the signed imul instruction.
- Fixed several signed/unsigned comparison and possibly uninitialized
variable warnings flagged by GCC.
SVN r1965 (trunk)
* info CCMD to print extended actor information (not fully implemented yet)
* summonmbf CCMD.
* Beta BFG code pointer (but not the related missiles yet.)
* PowerInvisibility enhancements.
* ScoreItem with one significant change: Added a score variable that can be
checked through ACS and DECORATE. The engine itself will do nothing with it.
* Nailgun option for A_Explode.
* A_PrintBold and A_Log.
* A_SetSpecial.
SVN r1819 (trunk)
- Removed #pragma warnings from cmdlib.h and fixed the places where they were
still triggered.
These #pragmas were responsible for >90% of the GCC warnings that were not
listed in VC++.
- Fixed one bug in the process: DSeqNode::m_Atten was never adjusted when the
parameter handling of the sound functions for attenuation was changed.
Changed m_Atten to a float and fixed the SNDSEQ parser to set proper values.
Also added the option to specify attenuation with direct values in addition
to the predefined names.

don't actually compress all that well, even the ones that aren't too short
to possibly compress. (Maybe make the whole thing one long, never-ending
zlib data stream with Z_SYNC_FLUSH used to chunk things at packet
boundaries? That would probably help the compression ratio, but it would
require changing the way the netcode determines sequence, which would be
a much more invasive change.)
SVN r1438 (trunk)
- changed weapon slots to be stored per player. Information is now transmitted
across the network so that all machines know each player's current weapon
configuration so that it can be used by cheats or HUD display routines.
