1.1 ! root 1: Changes for 3.17 ! 2: ---------------- ! 3: ! 4: - added sanity checks before calling atan2 with divisors of 0. This was ! 5: accidentally working on Intel chips, but caused crashes on DEC Alpha AXP ! 6: port. ! 7: - updated QUAKE2.DSW and QUAKE2.DSP file to support DEC Alpha ! 8: - Autodownloading is now DISABLED by DEFAULT. It must be enabled by typing ! 9: 'allow_download 1' at the console, or using the download options menu ! 10: in Multiplayer/PlayerSetup/Download Options ! 11: - Server demos now include a svc_serverdata block at the beginning with the ! 12: attractloop byte set to '2' to indicate server demo (byte before gamedir ! 13: in the svc_serverdata block). This allows easy identification of ! 14: serverrecorded demos (serverrecord demos are only for demo editors, they ! 15: can not be played back in Quake2 without being first edited). ! 16: - New options for setting texture formats in ref_gl: ! 17: gl_texturealphamode: default, GL_RGBA, GL_RGBA8, GL_RGB5_A1, GL_RGBA4, ! 18: GL_RGBA2 ! 19: gl_texturesolidmode: default, GL_RGB, GL_RGB8, GL_RGB5, GL_RGB4, ! 20: GL_R3_G3_B2, GL_RGB2 (SGI only) ! 21: - Player movement during Air acceleration changed to reflect more real-world ! 22: physics while airborne. ! 23: - Fixed a bug when riding trains that caused drift in a southwest direction ! 24: (Thanks to Jim Dose at Ritual for pointing this one out). ! 25: - Linux: Now correctly reports out of memory rather than segfaulting (mmap ! 26: returns (void *)-1 and not NULL on error). ! 27: - Fixed autodownloading to not create paths for files that can't be downloaded ! 28: (this was creating many empty directories in baseq2/players). ! 29: - When downloading a file from a server that doesn't have it, the message is ! 30: now "Server does not have this file" rather than "File not found." ! 31: - Fixed some coop keys in 3.15 weren't being handled correctly (pyramid key). ! 32: - Highbits are now stripped from console when using condump ! 33: - Restored support for gl_modulate in multiplayer play ! 34: - Fixed it so that players with a model/skin you don't have aren't checked for ! 35: on disk more than once. ! 36: - Fixed it so sounds played for PPMs that default to male are only checked ! 37: on disk once. ! 38: - Byte ordering/portability fixes in cinematics, PCX and other file handling. ! 39: - Client state during static image cinematic (PCX image) so that client can ! 40: continue to next unit. ! 41: - Fixed it so that dedicated coop servers no longer get stuck at victory.pcx, ! 42: if a server is in coop mode, hitting a button at the victory.pcx screen ! 43: while cause the server to restart at base1 ! 44: - Fixed infinite grenade bug ! 45: - Fixed autodownloading to actually download sounds and console pics ! 46: - Fixed autodownload to not create empty directories for files not on ! 47: the server. ! 48: - Added customized client downloading. cvars are the same as the server side: ! 49: allow_download - global download on/off ! 50: allow_download_players - players download on/off ! 51: allow_download_models - models download on/off ! 52: allow_download_sounds - sounds download on/off ! 53: allow_download_maps - maps download on/off ! 54: They can also be (more easily) set with a new Download Options menu ! 55: accessible in Multiplayer/Player Setup/Download Options ! 56: - Changed checksumming code to be more portable and faster. ! 57: The checksum in 3.15 was seriously broken. ! 58: This change makes 3.17 incompatible with previous servers. ! 59: - Fixed player 'warping' present in 3.15 (this was an artifact of the ! 60: hyperblaster optimizations). ! 61: - Fixed the autodownload in 3.15 so that stuff like skins for models are ! 62: downloaded as well as pics. ! 63: ! 64: Changes for 3.15 ! 65: ---------------- ! 66: ! 67: - Added visible weapons support. This is precached with a special symbol, i.e. ! 68: gi.modelindex("#w_shotgun.md2") which causes the client to autobind it to ! 69: the players current weapon model. Plug in player models can optionally ! 70: support the visible weapons. Any that do not support it will use their ! 71: default weapon.md2 files automatically. ! 72: Visible weapons files for plug in player models are not downloaded ! 73: automatically--only the default weapon.md2 (and skin) is. ! 74: The Visible weapon models themselves are not included. They can be ! 75: downloaded from http://www.telefragged.com/vwep/ ! 76: - Rewrote the some of the net code to use optimized network packets for ! 77: projectiles. This is transparent to the game code, but improves netplay ! 78: substancially. The hyperblaster doesn't flood modem players anymore. ! 79: - Rewrote the packet checksum code to be more portable and defeat proxy bots ! 80: yet again. ! 81: - Autodownload support is in. The following items will be automatcally ! 82: downloaded as needed: ! 83: - world map (and textures) ! 84: - models ! 85: - sounds (precached ones) ! 86: - plug in player model, skin, skin_i and weapon.md2 ! 87: downloads go to a temp file (maps/blah.tmp for example) and get renamed ! 88: when done. autoresume is supported (if you lose connect during the ! 89: download, just reconnect and resume). Server has fine control over ! 90: the downloads with the following new cvars: ! 91: allow_download - global download on/off ! 92: allow_download_players - players download on/off ! 93: allow_download_models - models download on/off ! 94: allow_download_sounds - sounds download on/off ! 95: allow_download_maps - maps download on/off ! 96: maps that are in pak files will _not_ autodownload from the server, this ! 97: is for copyright considerations. ! 98: The QuakeWorld bug of the server map changing while download a map has ! 99: been fixed. ! 100: - New option in the Multiplayer/Player Setup menu for setting your connection ! 101: speed. This sets a default rate for the player and can improve net ! 102: performance for modem connections. ! 103: - Rewrote some of the save game code to make it more portable. I wanted to ! 104: completely rewrite the entire save game system and make it portable across ! 105: versions and operating systems, but this would require an enormous amount ! 106: of work. ! 107: - Added another 512 configure strings for general usage for mod makers. ! 108: This gives lots of room for general string displays on the HUD and in other ! 109: data. ! 110: - Player movement code re-written to be similiar to that of NetQuake and ! 111: later versions of QuakeWorld. Player has more control in the air and ! 112: gets a boost in vertical speed when jumping off the top of ramps. ! 113: - Fixed up serverrecord so that it works correctly with the later versions. ! 114: serverrecord lets the server do a recording of the current game that ! 115: demo editors can use to make demos from any PVS in the level. Server ! 116: recorded demos are BIG. Will look at using delta compression in them ! 117: to cut down the size. ! 118: - Copy protection CD check has been removed. ! 119: - Quake2 3.15 has changed the protocol (so old servers will not run) but ! 120: all existing game dlls can run on the new version (albiet without the ! 121: new features such as visible weapons). ! 122: - Added flood protection. Controlled from the following cvars: ! 123: flood_msgs - maximum number of messages allowed in the time period ! 124: specified by flood_persecond ! 125: flood_persecond - time period that a maximum of flood_msgs messages are ! 126: permitted ! 127: flood_waitdelay - amount of time a client gets muzzled for flooding ! 128: (gamex86 DLL specific) ! 129: - fixed it so blaster/hyperblaster shots aren't treated as solid when ! 130: predicting--you aren't clipped against them now. ! 131: (gamex86 DLL specific, the SVF_DEADMONSTER flag is set on projectiles) ! 132: - gender support is now in. The userinfo cvar "gender" can be set to ! 133: male/female/none (none for neutral messages). This doesn't affect sounds ! 134: but does affect death messages in the game. The models male and cyborg ! 135: default to gender male, and female and crackhor default to female. ! 136: Everything else defaults to none, but you can set it by typing ! 137: "gender male" or "gender female" as appropriate. ! 138: - IP banning support ala QW. It's built into the game dll as 'sv' console ! 139: commands. This list is: ! 140: sv addip <ip-mask> - adds an ip to the ban list ! 141: sv listip <ip-mask> - removes an ip from the ban list ! 142: sv writeip - writes the ban list to <gamedir>/listip.cfg. You can ! 143: exec this on a server load to load the list on subsequent server runs. ! 144: like so: quake2 +set dedicated 1 +exec listip.cfg ! 145: sv removeip <ip-mask> - remove an ip from the list ! 146: the ip list is a simple mask system. Adding 192.168 to the list ! 147: would block out everyone in the 192.168.*.* net block. You get 1024 bans, ! 148: if you need more, recompile the game dll. :) ! 149: A new cvar is also supported called 'filterban'. It defaults to one which ! 150: means "allow everyone to connect _except_ those matching in the ban list." ! 151: If you set it to zero, the meaning reverses like so, "don't allow anyone ! 152: to connect unless they are in the list." ! 153: (gamex86 DLL specific) ! 154:
