FuhQuake v0.30 was initially release about a fortnight ago as build 570. I am now releasing an update (v0.30 Build 585) that addresses all the issues and bugs that have been reported to me. This release is not about new features, it's solely about making v0.30 stable and bug-free. (Actually there are a few new things, but nothing special).

Glimpses from the changelog include:

Fuh,

Are you also aware of the particle trail bug that causes, for example, a rocket's trail to be drawn going in the wrong direction? It typically happens to me when I am moving really fast. The rocket trail vector seems like it is slightly shifted and rotated incorrectly. The rocket still moves in the right direction.

Anyway, it is a very rare bug. No biggy. In fact, it is so rare and occurs over such a short time that I sometimes wonder if I just blinked... or if the rocket trail really was drawn incorrectly.

Luke : if you mentioned it to me when you first noticed it, it would have been fixed by now. If you can send me a 5s demo of it happening, it would be good (QWD).

lwinkey (and rwinkey) only responds in the first time you press the key after starting fuhquake.
popupmenu works fine.
os = win98
keyboard = abnt2 (brazil)
i need rwinkey to have a proper key to bind +nailgun

sorry, not designed to work with win98. NT4/2K/XP only.

fuh,

It is hard to recreate the bug. I am not sure exactly what causes it, so I would end up having to record demos for hours of play. It is nothing serious... just a little quirk that you miss if you blink.

I will try to record QWD's more often, in hope that the bug surfaces.

fuh...
that bug that luke talks about
it happens heaps with me
like in a fight maybe every... 6 rockets or so
it basically appears like the rocketrail is going from 2 directs at once
at the start theres 2 trails one coming from me.. the correct one. and another coming from a different angle but going the same directiong

the incorrect trail kinda blends in with the correct one as rock reaches destination..
pretty annoying man!!!

someimtes when i shoot rockets at fast speeds the rocket trail acts as if its going in the wrong direction and 'bends' round at about 70-80% angle to the right direction.. first time i saw it i wondered if i had noaim 0 or osmething...

thanks wint, yours is the first description that really helps.

I think its only a matter of time before someone gets a demo of it . Keep an eye on this thread to see when its fixed.

also would a command on_demo_end / on_demo_start and $demoname vars be available in a upcoming version... or do i have to code these myself so that i can make a new .qwd/.mvd only movie... and make it possible to add 'timers' to demos... so like after 'bla' seconds playtrack 5 etc..

How about some kind of Roadmap of where fuhquake is going, maybe something with planned/in-development features, possible ideas and things you would like to eventually include.

I think this would be nice Razz

I have a few huge QWD's now, with no showing the of the trail bug. Talk about frustrating. My only guess for why it is rare for me and not others... it has to be related to ping and packet loss. Since I was recording demos on LAN play... it didn't help much for finding the bug.

I will try to connect to a distant server, so I have an ass-o-rific connection. I hate nondeterministic bugs. WinTer, can you try to get a QWD demo recorded of the bug? I rarely see the bug, and when it usually does happen, it is very subtle. Only during super rare occasions is the double rocket trail bug big enough for an untrained eye to see. At least that is how it is for me.

yep, i noticed this trails bug too - i mentioned it in irc.

from memory the second trail only really happens in close combat with a few rox being fired and, for me, just looks as if there's someone else behind and to the side of me, shooting at whoever i am.

Good luck getting a screenshot or demo of it. I was unable to do so yesterday, when I played for a few hours. Seems like whenever I was recording a demo, the bug didn't show itself... and when I stopped recording, the bug popped up a few times.

Also, during one game, I saw the bug, and I was on a ktpro mvdsv server, so I downloaded the mvd... and then when I skipped to the part of the mvd where the bug happened... it didn't seem to happen again.
