 Posted: Thu May 01, 2003 1:23 pm Post subject: Changelog for the next FuhQuake version |
 |
|
Here is the changelog for what will be FuhQuake v0.28 (Build 425). Actual release should occur by the end of the week.
New Features
- You can now save/load single player games.
- Revamped the GL rendering engine - should give noticeable boost to fps (most people have gained 15%-25% extra speed).
- Major speedups for the linux GLX clients.
- Improved the QMB particles : changes to smoke trails, emp explosions, pyro flames (gl_part_inferno 1 to enable).
- Added gl_clipparticles and gl_bounceparticles cvars for tweaking the new particle effects (read more).
- Skyboxes are now fully functional and allowed on all servers. They can also be loaded/unloaded/changed without restarting the map.
- A new 'loadsky' command has been added to load sky boxes (place the 256x256 skyboxes in qw/env). 'loadsky none' unloads a skybox.
- Added XMMS and mousewheel support for linux binaries (read this and this).
- Added special features for the ctf mod (see below).
- Added a new variable called 'r_farclip' that can be used to overcome vision being limited to 4096 units in GL clients (good for xpress2 etc).
- Added support for customising the transparency of your weapon model (use r_drawviewmodel 0.3 for 30% transparency etc).
- gl_ext_texture_compression can be used to reduce memory held by textures on cards that support it (but textures loaded slower and may have less quality).
- Added support for binding left/right ctrl/shift/alt separately (bind lalt/ralt/lshift etc).
- New $droppedweapon macro can be used to report the weapon you held when you last died.
- Reduced GL 'lag' caused when a player enters a tf server (might help with ca setinfo lag too).
- Added a 'mapgroup' command that's useful when you play two or more maps that are basically the same but have different names, and you want them to share .locs/.lits/textures etc (Eg. "mapgroup 2fort5r 2fort5": will make 2fort5r and 2fort5 use the 2fort5r textures, locs, lits etc).
Changed from v0.27 Build 355
- On some video cards, vid_modelist won't list refresh rates properly when running fuhquake.exe -dibonly. These people can now use +set et vid_displayfrequency 75 etc on the command line to get their refresh rate (just like GL).
- Smoother lighting on GL models.
- Non-teamplay triggers like f_newmap and f_mapend should work with -ruleset smackdown now.
- r_flagcolor, $droploc and $droptime now work in ctf as well as tf.
- Added support for pointing to ctf runes/flags (use tp_point +runes +flag and customise tp_name_rune*).
- When playing ctf, f_modified will check for the 3wave player.mdl.
- Added workaround for dodgy .lit's that provide no light for some surfaces.
- r_skycolor now accepts rgb values as well (eg "r_skycolor 0 255 0" = green sky) (GL only).
- Tweaked behaviour of +jump and +forward being pressed together when using cl_smartjump 1.
- The observe command now works properly when a spec pass is required.
- Readded the f_weaponchange trigger.
- gl_colorlights no longer needs to be set on the command line (but must restart map).
- Joystick fly axis now works (variables: joyflysensitivity/joyflythreshold).
- r_fastturb now works in GL exactly the same way as in software.
- -dedicated command line parameter now works for linux client+server binaries too.
- macro_list renamed to macrolist. macrolist, cvarlist, aliaslist, cmdlist all sort their output alphabetically now.
- gl_picmip_all defaults to 1 now. Set it to 0 if you don't want your players/ammo/health etc to be affected by gl_max_size and gl_picmip.
- Lot's of other stuff.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed not all mvd's being listed when doing a "/cmd demolist" or "/dlist" on an mvd server.
- Fixed linux ammo amount being truncated to 2 digits instead of 3 when using scr_compacthud 1/2/3.
- Fixed version info imprinted into console background having an ugly color when using software FuhQuake and certain custom gfx.wad's.
- Readded the pointfile command for map makers (was accidentally removed from v0.27 Build 345/355).
- Fixed stupid bug making -basedir not work when the supplied dir has a trailing slash.
- Fixed 'erratic' cam movement occuring in Builds 330-355 when capturing mvd's.
- Fixed crash occuring when you put the skins command in config.cfg/frontend.cfg.
- Fixed other misc. bugs
Coming Soon
- Auto demo recording for compatible mods (kteams, ktpro, oztf >= v1.23). This includes temp recording and a command to save temp demo's after the match ends.
- Auto end of game screenshots with the option to screenshot the scoreboard only and cut out the rest.
- Ability to customise the names of demos and screenshots as well as organising the directories they are placed into.
- Read more here.
Much of these things would not have been done without the efforts of Dr. Labman, BorisU, Tonik, Droogie, Schwab.

I can't wait to play the new version. Quake is still kickin in 2003!
I am mostly looking forward to the save/load for single player, and the FPS boost (I play on a laptop with an mid range ATI card).
I also like how the particle engine is continously getting tweaked. Good particle effects are key for a nice looking FPS.
My dream feature for FuhQuake is physics based model animation... like "rag doll" physics, but not just for dead bodies. There are opensource physics engines, like ODE:

So wait, if I normally get around 60fps, then .25 * 60 = 15...
so with these speed improvements, I will get around 75fps?
Sounds a little too good to be true. |

No, 15-25% means most people will get at least 15% and probably no more than 25%. It does not mean everyone will get 25%.
You should feel unlucky if you dont get at least 10% extra.
And all this is on timerefresh's.
I get 25% on my gef2mx at 1024x768x16. On my gef3 I get 5% at 1280x960x32 and 15% at 800x600x16 . It all very much depends.

I was thinking, it'd be nice to be able to have a random sky every time the map changes. Maybe the user could keep a list of skyboxes which the client could choose from. Or perhaps be able to assign a sky to a particular map.
/me shrugs
Just an idea.

I've another suggestion:
If you have selected you Grappling Hook and you report your weapon "%w" you'll see " ". Maybe it's possible to see hook there in stead of "".
With "" I mean ": o" (without the space) |

if .$weapon = .$tp_name_none then say grapple else say %w
problem is when you have the grapple, server says you got no weapons, so fuhquake reports $tp_name_none which by default is "" |

Lemme expand on 47's idea about assigning skyboxes to a particular map:
see if you can make fuhquake recognize a /skybox directory in a map texture directory. if it finds a legitimate skybox in that directory, have fuh load that skybox for that map.
but I agree, see if you can make a variable to make skyboxes change every map, on random. |
