FuhQuake v0.30 (Build 570) Changelog
  • This is the changelog for FuhQuake v0.30 (Build 570). The changelog to FuhQuake v0.30 (Build 585) is given below this post. Build 585 is a bugfix release for Build 570.
  • The news post for the FuhQuake v0.30 (Build 570) release can be found here.
  • Comprehensive documentation on all the match tools (auto-recording, auto scoreboard screenshots & more) available in FuhQuake v0.30 can be found here.
  • The v0.30 FAQ can be found here.
  • Known bugs and issues are posted here.

    Many features have been contributed or first written by others. These people are acknowledged in [square brackets]. Big thanks to Tonik, Spike, BorisU, Vic and LordHavoc who are always willing to share thoughts and code with me.

    New Features in v0.30

    Read the FAQ to learn how to use these features.

  • Added support for loading halflife bsp maps.
  • Added gl_loadlitfiles (set to 0 to disable .lit files being loaded).
  • Removed gl_colorlights (use gl_loadlitfiles to disable lits).
  • Repeatedly loading maps with 24bit textures is much faster now (-forceTextureReload disables this) [BorisU, Tei].
  • Added gl_shaftlight by popular demand (it takes decimal values between 0 and 1).
  • Added QC a extension system (based on darkplaces). 13 extensions implemented by DP are now also supported by FuhQuake (roughly ~25 extra builtins).
  • Added frame interpolation for all packet entities as well as player entities (GL and software!) [Big thanks to Vic].
  • Removed gl_interpolate. Use r_lerpframes 0 to disable interpolation in software and GL.
  • Removed set_interpolated_weapons. Use r_lerpmuzzlehack 1 to avoid ugly interpolated muzzle flashes.
  • Inbuilt support for flintheart's $loc_name_* macros. Max loc name increased from 40 to 64.
  • Big enhancements to the particle engine backend for improved speed and versatlity.
  • Most particle effects completely redone or tweaked. Several new effects.
  • Added 'fragstats' (to show match statistics in scoreboard and generate html that contains statistics on match end).
  • Lot's of scoreboard changes/options (removed scr_scoreboard_style. Added scr_scoreboard_fillcolor, scr_scoreboard_fillalpha, scr_scoreboard_drawtitle).
  • Added support for sorting demo menu by demo name (press ctrl-n), size (ctrl-s) and time (ctrl-t).
  • Added cfg_backup to make cfg_save backup previous config before overwriting it.
  • Added demo_capture_steadycam variable. Changes behaviour of keyboard/mouse input when capturing.

    Match Tool Features in v0.30

    Read this for comprehensive documentation on these features.

  • Added auto screenshot taking at match end (with ability to customise their name/location).
  • Added auto demo recording and console logging (temp demo recording / console logging).
  • Added -democache command line parameter for demo recording directly to memory.
  • Added demo_dir to define where autorecording/easyrecord record to. Added scr_shhot_dir for defining where sshots are written to.
  • Added support for customising match names (i.e. customising demo names, console log names, screenshot names etc).
  • Added support for recording demos whilst watching qwd/qwz demos.

    Particle Engine Changes in v0.30

    To use the particle effects, set all gl_part_* variables to 1 (more info). Change r_rockettrail to 0,1,...,8 and r_explosionType to 0,1,..,7 to try various new effects.

  • Added a new rockettrail based on the Darkplaces rockettrail (r_rockettrail 3) [LordHavoc].
  • Added a new pyro flame (gl_part_inferno 1) based on the amf effect [VultureIIC].
  • Added a new explosion effect (r_explosionType 1) based on the amf explosion [VultureIIC].
  • Added a new teleporter effect (light beams in the teleporter based on amf effects).
  • Added a new gunshot blood effect that mimics Tenebrae blood [??].
  • Added a few other new trails (try different values of r_rockettrail).
  • Made numerous significant changes and improvements to all other particle effects.

    Misc Changes in v0.30

  • Removed "seta" and "aliasa" commands. Added "tempalias" command to make aliases that aren't saved by cfg_save or deleted when you cfg_reset/cfg_load .

  • cfg_save'd configs now always include an informative message regarding cfg_save_unchanged.
  • cl_useproxy 1 now applies to the 'connect' command as well as join/observe.
  • fbskins are disabled by default in teamfortress (except when in spectator/demo mode).
  • fbskins and truelightning can now be disabled on the local server too (with serverinfo keys).
  • watervis is now always allowed in demo playback and spectator mode.
  • gl_max_size and gl_picmip can now be changed without restarting FuhQuake (map still needs to be restarted).

  • This is the changelog for FuhQuake v0.30 (Build 585). The changelog to FuhQuake v0.30 (Build 570) is given above this post. Build 585 is a bugfix release for Build 570.

  • The v0.30 FAQ can be found here.
  • Known bugs and issues are posted here.

    Bugfixes in v0.30

  • Fixed crash on non-mtex capable cards (or mtex capable cards with -nomtex cmdline parameter). This affected 3dfx and S3 cards especially.
  • Fixed cfg_save corrupting aliases in linux clients.
  • Fixed bug where -game doesn't set sv_gamedir (*gamedir serverinfo key). [Tonik].
  • Using +/- aliases on mouse4/5 on microsoft mice now works [massa].
  • 'match_auto_record 2' now stops the demo 4 seconds after the final scoreboard shows, instead of stopping immediately.
  • Fixed jerkiness when walking down angled slopes with 'high' ping (eg. the corner of dm6 tunnel).
  • Fixed bug where 'gl_bounceparticles 1' would make sparks be drawn in the very centre of the map for no reason.
  • Fixed bug where the inbuilt server wouldn't accept connections from remote clients. (So you can start a coop game and have people once again).
  • Fixed bits of player models disappearing on Nvidia GF4 cards on 2K/XP (this was actually an nvidia bug, but I worked around it).
  • Fixed >= 100 monsters on a single player level causing an error when you exit the level (eg. e4m3 on nightmare).
  • Fixed fragstats not working in win32 software client.
  • Fixed 'v' and 'V' not working in the server list edit menu.
  • Fixed alignment issues in the FPS menu [danfe].
  • Fixed inconsistent capitilisation in some menus [danfe].

    Misc. Changes from v0.30 (Build 570)

  • In the match_format_* variables, %y now is the year without century (eg. 03).
  • In the match_format_* variables, %Y will now give you the year with century (eg. 2003).
  • Auto shots (match_auto_sshot 1) are no longer taken when the matchtype is a non-opponent type (eg you are playing coop or on a server by yourself).
  • Spark rays no longer go through map walls.
  • Removed r_rockettrail 8.
  • gl_max_size is now restricted to powers of 2 (eg. 1, 2, 4, 8, ..).
  • Shadows are no longer drawn for player models.
  • gl_solidparticles now defaults to 1 on wickedGL drivers.
  • gl_ztrick now defaults to 0 if a 24bpp or bigger depth buffer isn't available.
  • There are now 2 colour schemes for r_max_size_1 . 'r_max_size_1 2' gives the <= v0.28, 'r_max_size_1 1' gives the new colour scheme.
  • Source files should be more gcc 3.0+ friendly [danfe].
  • Disabled external skins for eyes models (and backpacks with -ruleset smackdown) by nqr admin request.

    New features in v0.30 (Build 585)

  • Added -snddev cmdline parameter for linux clients so they can use something other than /dev/dsp for sound.
  • Added $connectiontype macro ("spectator", "player" or "disconnected").
  • Added $demoplayback macro ("qwdplayback", "mvdplayback" or "0"). Use "if $demoplayback != 0 ... " to see if you are playing a demo.
  • Added $serverstatus macro ("disconnected", "standby" or "normal"). This can be used for detecting prewar/prematch on ktpro/oztf servers.
  • The fly command (from netquake) now works on the inbuilt server (and on recent zquake 0.15 servers) if cheats are allowed [Tonik].
  • Added 'scr_scoreboard_borderless' variable. Setting it to 1 removed the black lines around the outside of the scoreboard.
  • New variable sys_disableWinKeys can be used to disable winkeys from alt-tabbing you (only works in NT/2K/XP, and only when FuhQuake is in focus) [Oppy].
  • Windows keys are now bindable (LWINKEY, RWINKEY, WINKEY, POPUPMENU). Obviously only useful on NT/2K/XP with sys_disableWinKeys 1 (and possibely useful in linux too!).
  • Animated skins (skin groups) for alias models can now have 24bit replacement skins (name then modelname_x_y where x is the skin number and y is the group number).
