Quake2 3.16 changes: |
|
|
|
- Fixed infinite grenade bug |
|
- Fixed autodownloading to actually download sounds and console pics |
|
- Fixed autodownload to not create empty directories for files not on |
|
the server. |
|
- Added customized client downloading. cvars are the same as the server side: |
|
allow_download - global download on/off |
|
allow_download_players - players download on/off |
|
allow_download_models - models download on/off |
|
allow_download_sounds - sounds download on/off |
|
allow_download_maps - maps download on/off |
|
They can also be (more easily) set with a new Download Options menu |
|
accessible in Multiplayer/Player Setup/Download Options |
|
- Changed checksumming code to be more portable and faster. |
|
|
|
|
|
Quake2 3.15 changes: |
|
|
|
- Added visible weapons support. This is precached with a special symbol, i.e. |
|
gi.modelindex("#w_shotgun.md2") which causes the client to autobind it to |
|
the players current weapon model. Plug in player models can optionally |
|
support the visible weapons. Any that do not support it will use their |
|
default weapon.md2 files automatically. |
|
Visible weapons files for plug in player models are not downloaded |
|
automatically--only the default weapon.md2 (and skin) is. |
|
- New cvar cl_vwep controls whether visible weapons is enabled on the client. |
|
If you turn it off, the visible weapons models are not loaded. This can offer |
|
a speed up on slow or memory starved machines. |
|
- Rewrote the some of the net code to use optimized network packets for |
|
projectiles. This is transparent to the game code, but improves netplay |
|
substancially. The hyperblaster doesn't flood modem players anymore. |
|
- Rewrote the packet checksum code to be more portable and defeat proxy bots |
|
yet again. |
|
- Autodownload support is in. The following items will be automatcally |
|
downloaded as needed: |
|
- world map (and textures) |
|
- models |
|
- sounds (precached ones) |
|
- plug in player model, skin, skin_i and weapon.md2 |
|
downloads go to a temp file (maps/blah.tmp for example) and get renamed |
|
when done. autoresume is supported (if you lose connect during the |
|
download, just reconnect and resume). Server has fine control over |
|
the downloads with the following new cvars: |
|
allow_download - global download on/off |
|
allow_download_players - players download on/off |
|
allow_download_models - models download on/off |
|
allow_download_sounds - sounds download on/off |
|
allow_download_maps - maps download on/off |
|
maps that are in pak files will _not_ autodownload from the server, this |
|
is for copyright considerations. |
|
The QuakeWorld bug of the server map changing while download a map has |
|
been fixed. |
|
- New option in the Multiplayer/Player Setup menu for setting your connection |
|
speed. This sets a default rate for the player and can improve net |
|
performance for modem connections. |
|
- Rewrote some of the save game code to make it more portable. I wanted to |
|
completely rewrite the entire save game system and make it portable across |
|
versions and operating systems, but this would require an enormous amount |
|
of work. |
|
- Added another 512 configure strings for general usage for mod makers. |
|
This gives lots of room for general string displays on the HUD and in other |
|
data. |
|
- Player movement code re-written to be similiar to that of NetQuake and |
|
later versions of QuakeWorld. Player has more control in the air and |
|
gets a boost in vertical speed when jumping off the top of ramps. |
|
- Fixed up serverrecord so that it works correctly with the later versions. |
|
serverrecord lets the server do a recording of the current game that |
|
demo editors can use to make demos from any PVS in the level. Server |
|
recorded demos are BIG. Will look at using delta compression in them |
|
to cut down the size. |
|
- Copy protection CD check has been removed. |
|
- Quake2 3.15 has changed the protocol (so old servers will not run) but |
|
all existing game dlls can run on the new version (albiet without the |
|
new features such as visible weapons). |
|
- Added flood protection. Controlled from the following cvars: |
|
flood_msgs - maximum number of messages allowed in the time period |
|
specified by flood_persecond |
|
flood_persecond - time period that a maximum of flood_msgs messages are |
|
permitted |
|
flood_waitdelay - amount of time a client gets muzzled for flooding |
|
- fixed it so blaster/hyperblaster shots aren't treated as solid when |
|
predicting--you aren't clipped against them now. |
|
- gender support is now in. The userinfo cvar "gender" can be set to |
|
male/female/none (none for neutral messages). This doesn't affect sounds |
|
but does affect death messages in the game. The models male and cyborg |
|
default to gender male, and female and crackhor default to female. |
|
Everything else defaults to none, but you can set it by typing |
|
"gender male" or "gender female" as appropriate. |
|
- IP banning support ala QW. It's built into the game dll as 'sv' console |
|
commands. This list is: |
|
sv addip <ip-mask> - adds an ip to the ban list |
|
sv listip <ip-mask> - removes an ip from the ban list |
|
sv writeip - writes the ban list to <gamedir>/listip.cfg. You can |
|
exec this on a server load to load the list on subsequent server runs. |
|
like so: quake2 +set dedicated 1 +exec listip.cfg |
|
sv removeip <ip-mask> - remove an ip from the list |
|
the ip list is a simple mask system. Adding 192.168 to the list |
|
would block out everyone in the 192.168.*.* net block. You get 1024 bans, |
|
if you need more, recompile the game dll. :) |
|
A new cvar is also supported called 'filterban'. It defaults to one which |
|
means "allow everyone to connect _except_ those matching in the ban list." |
|
If you set it to zero, the meaning reverses like so, "don't allow anyone |
|
to connect unless they are in the list." |

Quake2 CTF 1.09a Changes: |
|
|
|
- Q2CTF 1.09 requires 3.15 now. |
|

|
Includes a pregame setup time, countdown until game start, timed match, |
|
statistics on players, admin functions and a post game time. |
|
- The server command 'gamemap' now works correctly. On a server, you can |
|
change maps with two commands: map and gamemap. Map will cause all teams |
|
to reset, gamemap will change maps with the teams intact. |
|
- New console commands: |
|
yes - vote yes on an election |
|
no - vote no on an election |
|
ready - ready oneself for a match |
|
notready - remove oneself from the ready list (stop the clock) |
|
ghost - ghost back into a match if connection was lost |
|
admin - become an admin or access the admin menu |
|
stats - show statistics on players in a match |
|
warp - warp to a new level |
|
boot - kick a player of the server (you must be an admin) |
|
playerlist - show player list and connect times |
|
- New cvars: |
|
competition - set to 1 to allow the server to be voted by players into |
|
competition mode. Set to 3 for a dedicated competition server. |
|
The default, 0, disables competition features. |
|
matchlock - controls whether players are allowed into a match in progress |
|
in competition mode. Defaults to on (1). |
|
electpercentage - the precentage of yes votes needed to win an election. |
|
Defaults to 66%. |
|
matchtime - length of a match, defaulting to 20 minutes. Can be changed |
|
by admins. |
|
matchsetuptime - length of time allowed to setup a match (after which |
|
the server will reset itself back into normal pickup play). Defaults |
|
to 10 mins. |
|
matchstarttime - The countdown after match setup has been completed |
|
until the match begins. Defaults to 20 seconds. |
|
admin_password - Password for admin access (allowing access to the admin |
|
menu without needing to be elected). |
|
- Minor bug fixes in team selection to help balance the teams better (the |
|
default option on the menu is now the team with the fewer players). |
|
- Don't get base defenses for telefragging your teammates in base. |
|
- Telefrags at start of game no longer count (to help with game spawning). |
|
- Instant weapon changing is now a server option (and can be changed by |
|
admin menu). |
|
- New admin menu that allows remote changes of the following items: |
|
Match length (time) |
|
Match setup length (time) |
|
Match start length (time) |
|
Weapons Stay |
|
Instant Items |
|
Quad Drop |
|
Instant Weapons |
|
- As part of the match code, a new 'ghost' option is included. When a match |
|
begins, all players are printed a randomly generated five digit ghost code |
|
in their consoles. If the player loses connection for some reason during |
|
the match, they can reconnect and reenter the game keeping their score |
|
intact at the time of disconnection. |
|
- Visible weapon support (as with the 3.15 release). |
|
- Some minor changes to the pmenu code to allow more flexability |
