use callvote gameplay instead chg: CPMA bots more tolerant of newb games (CA, IG, etc) chg+fix: don't check for a map existing before allowing a vote for it it was handy, but it also broke mapcfg votes :/ fix: can disable the netgraph again fix: lava damage was just insanely broken (id bug) Notes for version 1.30 (12 May 04) add: NTF teamplay mode - see docs/NTF.txt for details add: #E for number of visible enemies also shows "EFC", "Enemy QUAD", etc automatically :) add: #N for nearest teammate's nick add: backpacks to #I #P #L (just item packs, not dropped ones) shows as RA/YA/GA deliberately: it's slightly more info add: flags to #I #P #L add: ch_powerups add: cf_Statusbar (default 32x48) for ch_statusbarStyle 0 add: disable "connection interrupted" message on gtv add: enable tab-completion for some gtv commands add: maplist entries with minplayers -1 are "banned" can't be voted in even with map_restrict 0 add: autoload maps into the maplist if map_restrict is 0 chg: map_restrict defaults to 0 chg: PG self-damage is only 50% chg: RL knockback lowered by 10% in CPM chg: #U no longer sucks chg: cstats no longer shows downstream (S->C) if player is following someone (evil id netcode behaviour makes them unreliable there) chg: g_smoothClients has been removed (again :P) chg: cg_smoothClients renamed to cg_xerpClients (-1|0|1, default 0) this should solve the "config pollution" stupidities but still let people who know what they're doing use it if they really want to all the old notes/warnings/issues/etc still apply so if you don't like it, don't whine about it: just don't USE it ffs chg: cg_nudge replaces cl_timenudge timenudge definitely DOES do weird things internally to Q3 I don't know WHAT, but the difference is clear and unmistakeable timenudge is now forced to 0, and nudging is handled internally by the new cg_nudge variable. the timenudge min/max votes have been removed. chg: CQ3 respawn window now 1-4s chg: mapcfgs with the same name as the base map are loaded automatically (i've avoided doing this in the past as it has a fairly high abuse potential, but people keep asking for it so...) chg: weapon ammo in PM0 and FFA uses the nonsensical id scheme (note: this also lets bad mappers use custom ammo counts there) Notes for version 1.22 (8 Feb 04) add: bots use \nick add: rat bot (finally :P) add: callvote armordecay, vote_allow_armordecay (CA/DA/CTFS) (it's always been in there, but was disabled years ago because clueless CA admins would turn it off which makes CA even more of a campfest than usual) add: callvote gameplay alias for callvote promode add: ch_customLoc (default 1) use custom locations for a map if possible loc files are locs/map.cfg, and must have a "v2" header different to OSP: can only replace existing locations add: /ff for demos ('>' does /ff 30 - handy for skipping pauses) add: g_smoothclients (0|1, default 0) very annoying to have to do this... cg_smoothclients 1 (especially with timenudge) is the main cause of misleading enemy positions (and the whole "shooting behind people to hit them" whine). although we disable it on the client by default, pollution from baseq3 often enables it again without players noticing. ideally players would fix their configs, but apparently that's too much to hope for so the only option left is to force it off from the server side like OSP does. :( chg: RL self-damage is back down to 50% now always split *at least* half H rather than half H half A but still regardless of armour type i.e. a 100/0 player takes 50H total damage a 100/200 player takes 25H *and* 25A total damage chg: RL self-damage even split is only for CPM and CQ3 chg: drag isn't applied during knockback means you get a few ms of "unlimited boost" on rocket runs to help close the gap better when chasing, then drag kicks in as normal to avoid "rj+permabunny" FC stupidity chg: FFA doesn't use backpacks they penalise newbs for picking up weapons in the wrong order chg: maxpacketsmin upper limit raised to 60 chg: maxpacketsmax lower limit raised to 60 chg: maxpacketsmin/maxpacketsmax not changed by modes chg: server_promode renamed to server_gameplay (default "CPM") chg: vote_allow_promode renamed to vote_allow_gameplay (default "", behaves like server_availmodes) chg: removed Q1+Q2 armour systems chg: shards are 2 in CPM1.0 armour system chg: PG pickup has 40 ammo chg: default MH behaviour for CTF is simplemega 0 fix: FC time included pauses Notes for version 1.20 (4 Jan 04) This release also contains the 1.11 files. Admins can (and should) delete the z-cpma-pak111.pk3 and any beta pk3's from their servers, leaving only pak100, pak110, and pak120 in the cpma/ dir. add: PUBCTF mode config (teamdamage A-only, flag dropping on) add: "locked" command to mapcfg parser add: cg_nomip bit for in-flight rockets (512) - needs vid_restart chg: cg_nomip defaults to 1023 (everything) chg: HS triggered by time until capping rather than fixed distance chg: specs can talk during warmup even if muting is on Notes for version 1.16 (16 Dec 03) BETA add: HoonyMode 1v1 - see docs/HoonyMode.txt for details add: all sorts of bot stuff (some of it is in 1.11 as well) see docs/bots.txt for details add: new HUD cvars: ch_flags, ch_shortNames, etc - see docs/HUD.txt add: \nick - set a short name to use for team chat/overlay limited to 5 visible characters, but allows colours add: docs/demoplay.txt add: callvote windelay (ms, CA:4000, DA:2000, HM: 500) vote_allow_windelay (0|1, default 1) add: \protect - for when you accidentally hit ESC during a demo :) add: s_announcer chg: own muzzleflash always disabled if cg_drawgun is 0 chg: cg_smoothClients defaults to 0 chg: rocket explosion animation lasts 0.5s (was 1s) chg: a bunch of the HUD cvars - see docs/HUD.txt chg: HUD health turns red at 33, not 30 chg: moved scoreboard on top of MVWs chg: removed bot_boost chg: lifts/doors/etc always crush corpses immediately chg: removed match_windelayCA and match_windelayDA cvars chg: thirdpersonrange limit in demos raised to 999 chg: rules for ending intermission if everyone rups (clicks) it ends immediately if nobody rups it stays there forever otherwise it stays for the usual 10s chg: cg_gunOffset [x,y,z] replaces cg_gunX/Y/Z stupidities in Q3 mean the old vars can't work with GTV note that you MUST use commas (spaces screw up binds) chg: removed LG "cripple" effect chg: handicaps only affect damage chg: weapon/box/max/backpack ammo counts (especially LG) chg: no consecutive spawns on the same point in TDM note that this *doesn't* mean you can't spawn next to where you just died, just that you won't do it three times in a row chg: CQ3 and PM1 use PM2 spawn system for DM chg: CQ3 uses PM2 weapon settings chg: PM LG knockback increased slightly chg: PM2 SG reload lowered to 950ms chg: PM2 RL bias lowered to 10 chg: PM2 PG damage lowered to 18 chg: PM2 PG "fattened" (shots have actual volume) chg: PM2 PG knockback lowered to 2/3 chg: PM2 RL splash radius lowered to 110 (8% smaller) chg: PM2 BFG splash radius raised to 120 chg: PM2 out-of-ammo penalty raised to 200ms chg: PM2 CTF flags are "heavy" chg: PM2 bunnying at high speeds (700+) actually requires skill or the haste powerup, which is now VERY valuable to FC's chg: haste gives a 25% boost to base speed and dragpoint chg: haste does not affect weapon reload times chg: haste negates flag weight chg: RL self-damage now 66% (sort of) rather than 50% always split half H and half A regardless of armour type or even armour presence i.e. a 100/0 player takes 33H total damage a 100/200 player takes 33H *and* 33A total damage chg: remove viewpos, com_buildScript, cg_drawsnapshot, cg_stats (debug cruft that's just been hanging around) chg: lock cl_anglespeedkey, cl_pitchspeed, cl_yawspeed chg: teamed PUs default to sequenced, not random fix: unspawned teamed PUs play pickup sound with cg_predictItems 1 fix: unspawned teamed PUs confuse bots fix: railtrail positions and RG flashes (4! id bugs) fix: drawgun 0 only affects the gun itself (id bug) used to have side effects on LG beam etc Notes for version 1.11 (26 May 03) Server-only release add: nameteam/r_namered/r_nameblue commands \mvd and \autorecord will use these to name TDM/CTF demos cleared on map changes or when a team has no players only refs and "real" captains can use this (to avoid stupidities when allcaptain is set) add: log players stats so far if they drop mid-game add: force-throttle scoreboard updates to GTV 30s in TDM/CTF now - the scoreboard is such a bandwidth pig that it really hurts live MV if everyone keeps hitting TAB chg: tweaked some bot stuff skill is 1-100 now: 1-5 is id AI, 6+ is CPMA AI it's basically an aim modifier, i.e. 80 ~= HC aim chg: no "player joined the game/spectators" message in non-team games fix: q3dm6ffa and cpm16b mapcfgs Notes for version 1.1 (20 Mar 03) Old CTF demos may produce some weird/incorrect messages and sounds, since I changed the behaviour of several things so I could recover some of the bandwidth wasted by the "normal" CTF implementation. add: arQmode :P (server_promode 2, callvote promode 2) see docs/arQmode.txt for details add: server_optimiseBW (0|1, default 1) force the optimiseBW algorithm on for all clients add: mvw_DM enabled outside of demos (great for GTV :P) add: teamchat bandwidth optimisations add: boatloads of CTF-specific bandwidth optimisations add: Flag runs to \scores for CTF add: cg_oldctfsounds 2 (default) uses mostly the old sounds for YOUR team's actions take enemy flag: four deep "urnks" :P return our flag: single "knock" cap enemy flag: single fanfare from TA and TA sounds (but not the gay voices) for the enemy's take your flag: bigass alarm return their flag: three "knocks" cap your flag: lower-pitched "duh-duhh" noise :P so you can actually tell WHICH flag is involved now, without needing to check the hud. note that the sounds are "US" and "THEM" so they're always the same for YOU no matter which team you're on add: flag status to CTF coachview add: dlight for Batsuit add: r_vertexlight 2 (enables dlights) add: negative wait values on lifts makes them always return positive waits means people can camp-force a lift to stay at top add: automatically uncensor stats to GTV clients so GTV doesn't have to be ref'd to show armour pickups etc in DM add: show connecting clients as well on the DM scoreboard spec list add: cg_itemFX (bitmask, default 7) 1 - bob up and down 2 - rotate asymmetric items (weapons and armours) will always rotate 4 - scale up on respawn add: BFG stats to \accuracy (15 shots to qualify, same as RL) add: optimiseBW also disables scoreplums add: clamp sv_fps to values that the Q3 netcode actually supports add: match client snaps to sv_fps on map load modemers MIGHT want to lower it to 15 on 30fps servers but otherwise are probably best off leaving it alone add: cg_autoaction 16 - ignore autoaction ss/demo if you're a spec add: more entities supported by mapcfgs must specify version 2 in the mapcfg to use them at start of file along with base bsp, e.g. // "cpm10" "2" misc_teleporter_dest, target_speaker team_CTF_redplayer, team_CTF_redspawn team_CTF_blueplayer, team_CTF_bluespawn add: mapcfgs for CPM1a and CPM3 to fix the teleporters (*cough* jude :P) these are loaded automatically add: a bunch of new mapcfgs !cpm10a (DM), !cpm18i (TDM), !cpm18ffa, !cpm16ffa !q3dm14ffa, !q3dm8ffa, !q3dm6ffa, !q3dm9ffa, !q3dm5ffa add: r_coachred/r_coachblue commands - handy if a coach drops midgame add: log_pergame (0|1, default 0) server logs written to a logs/ dir on a per-game basis implicitly disables the normal g_log logfile does not play nice with MA maps add: mvw_TDM<1-9> - controls TDM/CTF MV layout when zoomed format is the same as mvw_DM, default is no child windows add: ch_scores (default "640 400 1") chg: removed all pmove stuff and just fixed the damn physics fed up with preserving retarded bugs just for "compatibility" physics are now not only more consistent across FPS ranges but also more consistent within themselves AT any fixed FPS interestingly enough, this is also the first time in Q3 history that jumppads have EVER worked correctly and reliably... :P chg: removed cg_oversamplemouse - no longer an issue chg: removed server_realping - always the behaviour of the old "3" now done for all classes of specs as well as players chg: various cstats things - uses a new scheme window for min/max/avg now ~1.25 seconds instead of ~6 now tracks upstream and downstream stats separately if you're seeing large differences between them then either your settings are hosed or you're flooding one side (typically, maxpackets 125 on conns that can't handle it) chg: #P only tracks "important" items now: weapons, PUs, armours, MH (the same set used by #I/#L) chg: default MH behaviour for TDM is simplemega 0 chg: tweak the behaviour of LG sounds in coachview should stop them "bleeding over" and crackling chg: tolerate invalidly interpolate-tagged entities in coachview chg: successful kick vote sends console message rather than centerprint stops it distracting players if used during a game chg: show scores immediately on GTV even if we have to use old ones tired of morons whining about how slow GTV is to send them :P chg: plasma explosions resized to match the shots properly chg: max PG ammo now 100 chg: make bots jump when in slime/lava minimises damage and means they actually get OUT of it on cpm3 :) chg: removed dlights from just about everything, most notably CTF flags they're so buggy and annoying that it's not worth keeping them and built-in EFC wallhacks are not exactly a great idea... chg: removed cg_swapSkins it's been pointless really ever since we created the PM skins chg: lava thaws use the normal thaw time value rather than 5s and can be interrupted like normal thaws too chg: bots are smarter about thaws when there are multiple candidates chg: make corpsicles a little bit bouncy - more fun that way :P chg: ESC in a demo menu tree pops you up one level rather than straight back to the main menu - that annoys me "back" still jumps all the way out just in case you like it chg: max number of demos on menu reduced to 200 chg: addbot defaults bot skill to g_spSkill (used to just use 4) chg: addbot on MA maps on a listen server defaults to your arena chg: enable MVD in CQ3 (no idea if it works now, but ...) chg: coachview support for up to 9 players chg: moved the cfg-ra3/ files into cfg-maps/ chg: bot skill now 1-15 (default 10) they still suck pretty hard tho... see docs/bots.txt for details chg: max bot LG skill reduced a little 60%+ is just retarded in CPM because of the knockback chg: bot_boost upper limit now 2.0 chg: speconly can now take a 0|1 argument chg: speclock/specunlock are explicit the toggling was stupid and annoying chg: enable the "teammate" sprite for players with Invis chg: voodoostats support dropped sorry, but the osp stats format just sucks too much stats are now logged in an almost-sensible format but one enough like VS to make updating parsers trivial chg: skinned scores use body colour only chg: teams are automatically unlocked at end of game fix: duplicated spectators on the DM scoreboard fix: interval-based messages lost on servers with certain sv_fps values (pause/unpause countdowns, rup reminder, etc -

the scoreboard owns it chg: powerup autofollow prefers flags over PUs chg: server_optimiseBW removed rather than just ignored chg: demo trees can now use up to 256 chars for path+demo democasts still have to be <64 though chg: no warning message if a democast wav is missing chg: updated most of the docs, and renamed them chg: updated the "standard" video configs to something decent chg: updated the "standard" net configs to something decent chg: updated the net config screen itself to something useful chg: increased the number of maps that the practice menu can handle fix: carried flags flickering into view at times, especially with TN fix: between-round joins in CA caused "countdown stopped" message and also stopped recording if you had autoaction 4 etc game still continued because only first round of CA needs rups fix: inaccurate pings on heavy-pl clients fix: match stats not dumped properly on MA maps fix: ch_weaponList 1 and 2 didn't show medkit/PT fix: ch_weaponListFlash was unreliable fix: backpack model if you die holding the onhand hook is "best ammo" (same as for gauntlet and mg) fix: direct hits with BFG have no explosion (id bug) Notes for version 99z3 (15 Dec 02) add: allow MA maps to specify what type they show up as in browsers update cfg-ra3/* accordingly chg: cg_smoothclients now just (negative | off | positive) mapped to -50, 0, 50 internally default is 1, i.e. positive, i.e. 50 internally too many people just didn't understand it and set it wrong or used vq3 configs that had it at 1 which was the worst possible value for y3-z2 builds fix: arrows on server browser fix: issues with extreme TN values (-75 to -100) fix: z2 recalc'd readiness if people join DURING games as well which caused them to abort pkg: server VM moved into PK3 pkg: standard mapcfgs (CPM13B, Abuse TMP, etc) moved into PK3 Notes for version 0.99z2 (12 Dec 02) add: "+nologo" on command line skips id metalstamp cin at startup (always has, but now without giving an error) add: "+browser" on command line starts Q3 at the server browser add: cg_altLightning 2 -

This version changes/removes a LOT of server cvars: rename cpma/q3config.cfg and let CPMA generate a new one for you then add back in ONLY the cvars that exist in both or that you're absolutely sure still do something useful add: docs/cpma-q3-Modes.txt - how to use custom modes *** admins who allow RA3 maps should definitely read this *** add: the maplist for MA maps is now "mamaps.txt" rather than "camaps.txt" add: cfg-ra3 subdirectory thanks to whoever gave me the configs (John?) ages ago... just add "+set map_cfgdir cfg-ra3" to the command line add: fixed the ra3map8 items to be "CPMA-complete" for yuks :) used by the "Gutteral" arena - I defaulted it to 5-round FT need to use !ra3map8 to load the fixed version add: map_restrict (0|1, default 1) whether maps other than those in the maplist can be voted for add: set pb_sv_specname for GTV chg: TDM mode updated to TTDM settings, TTDM removed chg: mode_start now a string (default: "1v1") not an int chg: server_availmodes now a string (default: "" (all)) e.g. "1v1 TDM CTF" chg: CPMA armoursystem now standard for all modes chg: 90s PU respawns now standard for all modes except FFA chg: Personal Teleporter disabled in all modes chg: CTF mode disables Batsuit as well as Invis chg: removed most gameplay-related server cvars fraglimit timelimit hook_enable instagib_reload match_dropitems match_overtime match_startarmor match_startrespawn match_startweapon match_timeoutcount match_timeoutlength server_armordamageself server_armordamageteam server_fallingdamage server_fastrail server_footsteps server_instagib server_prosound server_thrufloors g_powerupRespawnCTF g_powerupRespawnFFA g_powerupRespawnTDM g_weaponRespawn g_weaponRespawnCTF g_weaponRespawnTDM chg: the "custom" config parser has been completely removed (previously used by "callvote exec" and per-map cfgs) settings are now just passed to the vote code. some commands are therefore changed or no longer supported "ammo" - format changed "weapons" - use "items -XX" "maxplayers" - no replacement/workaround multi-arena maps can now use "mode XX" rather than "type N" and almost certainly should :) chg: g_gametype ignored (remains only for ASE/Q3P/etc) chg: remove a bunch of unused cvars dmflags, g_warmup, g_listEntity, g_rankings, g_singlePlayer g_podiumDist, g_podiumDrop, g_enableBreath, g_enableDust chg: removed "HEALTH, ARMOR, RUNES, ITEMS" from +-vote display they still work fine, but they were visually awkward chg: removed "ALL" from +-vote chg: giving players MG on spawn can now be disabled chg: startweapon is a bitmask (0|4-511, default 4:MG) starting ammo for each weapon is one "box" except MG which is 50 bullets chg: CA mode ammo now 50 PG (was 100) and 50 RL (was 80) chg: FTEU mode renamed to FTAG chg: modes IFFA, ITDM, ICTF, ALTCA, FTUS, BFGA are now customs fix: your gauntlet buzz played from the wrong place Notes for version 0.99x9b (4 Nov 02) add: callvote simplemega (default 0 in DM, 1 in other modes) vote_allow_mhstyle (0|1, default 1) wearoff vs periodic respawns add: cg_muzzleflash works in MVDs fix: use predicted rather than current weapon for hand positions (gets rid of artifacts on certain weapon changes) fix: cg_useScreenShotJPEG was backwards Notes for version 0.99x9a (30 Oct 02) (incredibly, the first double-minor version number) add: TDM MVDs show PU time remaining add: TDM MVDs show exact armor type add: mvw_DM (default "464 48 160 120") x, y, width, height of PiP window for DM games add: MVD/coach shows PJ icon if player's ping goes over 200 add: ch_shortScoreboard (0|1, default 0) minimal scoreboard in DM (i.e. no stats) add: cg_useScreenShotJPEG (0|1, default 1) for cg_autoaction 2 chg: coach mode totally overhauled chg: MVD majorly overhauled chg: preserve "true" referees across map changes chg: max 3rd-person range is now 40 in all games, not just CA chg: torso/legs/weapon are truly invisible for cloaked players chg: Invis respawns match Batsuit, not Quad chg: no sprites (carnage, pummel, etc) for players with Invis note that this includes the "lagout" sprite and crucially, the "teammate" sprite chg: the stupidity of the stolen "cpm1a" is no longer tolerated chg: new defaults for CA mode self and team armour damage, maxdamage 25 chg: ch_mvdPIP removed fix: various annoying problems with 1.32 (messed up coach/MVD) fix: player respawns/teles weren't using ProMode sound fix: crash when using /ref to make another player a ref (doesn't actually DO anything tho - use vote) fix: problems with 3rd-person views in MVD Notes for version 0.99x9 (4 Oct 02) (otherwise known as the "we love TTimo" build) add: server_optimiseBW (0|1, default 1) Q3 1.32 and later only optimises bandwidth use, especially in team games uses a tiny bit of extra CPU on the server but CPU is cheap and bandwidth is not add: s_occfactor is back! and better than ever :))) it's ignored for coaches/MVD (don't ask...) add: support dm_66 to dm_68 under Q3 1.32 add: support trees of demos :P there are several engine-based limitations on this the most important one being a maximum TOTAL path length of 64 still, it's a very handy way to organise demos dK owes me lots of beers for this one :P add: haste's version of cg_smoothclients (cheers mate) note that it's no more accurate than the old code but it's a LOT less ugly when using -ve tn add: show fragmessages in MVDs add: show ping in lagometer 4 in demos add: cf_PickupString (default 10x14) apparently some players are deaf and need the text message... add: BFG Arena (mode 13, bitmask 8192) CA with G/MG/BFG only, and infinite ammo. Stupid fun :P add: callvote maxdamage (0-200, 0 means no limit, default 0) (controlled by vote_allow_maxdamage, default 1) for CA: sets the max damage you can do to self+team very handy for BFG Arena, as it enables you to play with self-damage on without raping your armour while still avoiding RJ llamafests for simplicity, if health dmg is off and armour dmg is on then 100% of the damage is applied to armour, rather than split between h/a first and then tested for damage flags else you need to use 37 to get 25 off armour, which is ugly add: +wstats is back add: Tweaked TDM (mode 14, bitmask 16384) 90s Quad, 150 RA chg: removed server_ospauth (always on) chg: pain sounds for you always played when you fall in lava used to not hear them if you had YA or RA because you only lose 1H at a time, which Q3 ignores (it thinks it's just health decay from 125H spawns / +5s / MH) but everyone else would hear them correctly chg: keep "your" model when speccing in-eyes even in GTV chg: upper limit on maxpackets_max raised to 125 chg: Batsuit respawn time now twice whatever PU respawn time is rather than always 120 chg: moved the connection line of the DM scoreboard to the top chg: CTF mode defaults to SD OT (used to allow ties) chg: OT clocks count down as well chg: \hudstyle no longer changes ch_TeamBackground chg: stats from previous game stay available until next game starts (used to be denied them after intermission / map change) chg: don't draw your own shadow - it's annoying chg: removed old cg_smoothclients 1 behaviour (it's always been crap - i should have pulled it ages ago) chg: removed g_smoothclients chg: propogate 999's out to the scoreboard faster fix: cg_predict 2 jerkiness on lifts fix: playernames with multiple consecutive dots broke autorecord (Q3 incorrectly thinks they're relative paths) fix: powerup spawns not always being audible to coaches/MVD fix: cleaned up a few overlaps with teamchat/overlay/pickup/etc in various hudstyles, notably 3 and 6 some are simply not workable for TDM though, e.g. style 5 Notes for version 0.99x8 (9 Sep 02) add: CPM13B map config (PG -> LG) add: cg_predict (0-2) replaces cg_nopredict 0 = off 1 = normal 2 = optimised the normal prediction path is extremely slow at times (notably around curves) and can cost you 100fps on a GHz machine this new scheme is MUCH faster, but slightly more prone to errors. oddly enough, it's still more accurate than the original id prediction code (i.e. before the CPMA fixes) :) if you have a slow machine, it's definitely worth trying. * currently very broken on lifts * don't use cg_predictItems 1 with this add: new scoreboard for DM needs a lot of work still, but is VERY cool for GTV :) (accuracy icon is for RL skill: effectiveness and direct hits) add: assorted GTV-awareness (prepping for live MVD) add: picture-in-picture for MVD :P (press P to cycle window positions during playback) add: UPS in MVDs add: support gametype-specific spawnpoints chg: allow mappers to specify respawn times for certain types of items not weapons (can't play id "pro" maps with polish rules or in ffa) not powerups (cpm13 becomes awful) chg: \acc "qualifying" shot count for PG upped from 45 to 50 chg: PickedUp and DiedWith columns renamed to Take and Drop was too much space for something so unimportant fix: explicitly dropping the current weapon didn't switch from it Notes for version 0.99x7 (15 Aug 02) chg: only do realpings for non-following players fix: maxpackets ranges not being reset by mode votes fix: weirdness on hubaero with x6 Notes for version 0.99x6 (12 Aug 02) add: \cstats [player_id] show connection stats for a client "real" average ping, flux, loss, etc add: server_realping 2 and 3 (default 3) use the "real" average ping for the scoreboard less susceptible to maxpacket masking etc add: MVD shows armor types, but only "RA" or "not-RA" i.e. YA and GA both show as YA add: MVD will reacquire the "chosen" player when possible if it was forced to autocycle away from them add: match_startarmor (0-200, default 0, Freeze-only) add: match_startweapon (0|3-8, default 0, Freeze-only) add: hook_range (default 1800) max distance the hook can reach (0 = no limit) add: basic OGC 1.6 protection i really hate having to waste time on this crap :/ it's not like i'm short of things to keep me busy... chg: MVD always uses default viewheight used to adjust if players were crouching but that could flake out under certain conditions chg: death sounds aren't carried "with" players (it's annoying in ProMode because of the fast respawn) chg: optimise prediction a bit when hitting multiple brushes it's still pretty bad though. when playing online, the client has to do a LOT of tracing and clipping. it especially hates you strafing along curved walls chg: CTFS per-round max score is 3 (cap or touch + elim) chg: hook_speedpull default now 700 chg: tweaked bot weapon selection a bit chg: defaulted g_spSkill to 5 (nightmare) and bot_challenge to 1 bots are still an utter joke regardless fix: mode_idletime errors with empty maplists fix: the rebound bug fix: release the hook when teleported fix: assorted model problems if you joined a game after MVD'ing fix: yet another problem case with events if we get backlogged too far on playerstate events, we can never realistically catch up so cut our losses and just skip ahead in the stream (was the cause of gunfire echoes in MVDs) fix: callvote random would crash in x4 - doh fix: match_startrespawn was ignored even in non-mode Freeze Notes for version 0.99x4 (14 Jul 02) add: MVD playback updates player models on POV changes add: MVD preserves scores for lower right on DM POV changes add: MVD message when forced to auto-cycle typically only happens when players teleport/respawn and the recording client is lagging add: ProMode sound option for CQ3 server_prosound (0|1, default 0) callvote prosound, vote_allow_prosound typically makes games really slow though unless you turn off footsteps as well add: Footsteps option for CQ3 (note: NOT dmflags 32) server_footsteps (0|1, default 1) callvote footsteps, vote_allow_footsteps add: ch_playerNames (0|1, default 0) chg: don't lock teams on \teamready in unlimited games chg: no score throttling in DM MVDs chg: poweruprespawn can be voted to anything from 30 to 120 (was just 60/90/120 before) chg: votes with ranges now display those ranges in the help chg: removed the pure vote - GTV doesn't need it any more chg: sample maplists moved to cfg-maps/sample since people keep overwriting theirs when they upgrade chg: removed "cinematics" and "mods" from the main menu fix: hit tones would wrap very quickly in instagib fix: current timenudge/maxpackets limits showed wrong values (if you used callvote with no args to display them) the *behaviour* was right, but in some cases it would show them as disabled when they weren't Notes for version 0.99x3 (25 Jun 02) add: DM MVDs now show the player's weaponlist, roughly if they have a weapon but no ammo for it, it's not shown and only the current weapon has an ammo count add: TDM MVDs show the player's current weapon on the weaponlist add: CPM1B itemconfig and mapconfig files (the Polish CPM1A, but without screwing everything up) add: show the "real" map name when loading a custom itemset (e.g. Q3DM12CPM rather than Q3DM12) add: cg_lagometer options are now a bitmask 1 - draw the netgraph background 2 - colour the background if there's rate delay or PL 4 - show your ping at the top 8 - don't draw the frame interpolate/extrapolate graph add: CTFS-aware bot AI add: con_notifyTime < 0 uses the CPMA "console" overlay instead of id's doesn't affect the console *buffer*, just the text in the top left the default for con_notifyTime is now -1 (i.e. use the CPMA console) cf_Console default is 8x16, and scales the same way as the id console ch_consoleTime default is 3000 to disable completely, set con_notifyTime AND ch_consoleTime to -1 add: ch_consoleLines (0-4, default 4) max number of lines for the console overlay (note that carriage returns generally mean it will display one line less than this value) add: can use ENTER to launch a demo from the menu add: sv_fps to serverinfo so clients can actually see what it's set to all but the most bandwidth-challenged servers should be using 25 and ones with a nice connection should probably use 40 add: F11 in demos does a screenshotjpeg chg: snaps defaults to 40 chg: now explicitly aware if we're connected through GTV fixes a few problems with GTV, especially on MA maps chg: use white for "black" (i.e. invisible) rails chg: tweak the duration of "external" events on players hard to explain but: for players who are not you, Q3 favours external events over player-generated ones for 300ms so if they pick up an item then fire a weapon, it won't actually "send" that weapon fire until that much later and in many cases, it NEVER sends those events because later player activity overwrites them. it's basically yet another variant of Q3's "dropped sounds" bugs and it's been like this forever, but it's only become really obvious since we introduced MVDs. since it HAS been so unremarked and fixing it properly would noticeably increase bandwidth usage, we've cut the lag down to 100ms instead (ideally we'd use 50, but this gives us a cushion for a dropped packet or modemers with low snaps) chg: allow bot-only games without having to ref-allready them chg: plasma prestep dropped from 50 to 25 chg: ProMode plasma visuals shrunk from 16 to 12 chg: remove a bunch of cheat-only cvars cg_tracerChance, cg_tracerWidth, cg_tracerLength, cg_animSpeed, cg_swingSpeed, cg_noPlayerAnims, cg_debugAnim, cg_debugPosition, com_cameraMode chg: remove cg_noVoiceChats, cg_noVoiceText, cg_noTaunt since we don't support TA voice rubbish fix: re-enable the CPM damage-through-floors fix removed it a couple of builds ago because 1.2x supposedly fixed it shows what I get for trusting id's code... :P fix: compounded damage downscale when splashing multiple players fix: muzzle render position was being adjusted twice for railgun fix: bunch of id bugs in CTF AI code bots couldnt "find" flags on wcp21 and many other maps fix: bot_minplayers works again (oops) accidentally nuked it in 99x when removing ai deadwood :) fix: yet more id bugs - the ingame menus (notably, team orders) would use the wrong client info if you were following someone Notes for version 0.99x1 (14 Jun 02) add: 3W CTFS (mode 12, bitmask 4096) thanks to Casey and the 3W team for permission add: reset timescale to 1.0 on listens after watching demos add: rench's updated docs chg: the "low" ammo point for SG is 5 rather than 10 chg: enabled armoursystem vote in CQ3 chg: cg_shadows 2 and 3 removed - too buggy and cheaty (both project through walls etc) chg: stepup events optimized chg: improved client prediction during djumps CPM3 lower rl is easiest place to see the difference chg: popsicles refreeze over time if abandoned mid-thaw same rate as for thawing, i.e. if you thaw for 2 secs then leave for 1 sec, there's 2 secs left chg: unlock cg_gunX/Y/Z and clamp them x: -8 to +8, y: -3 to +9, z: -8 to +2 (y is offset because 0 is the player's right hand not the center of their body) chg: g_doWarmup removed - it's always been pointless setting g_warmup to 0 already turns warmup off and setting it to anything else turns warmup on chg: end of match stats format changed to work with VoodooStats chg: default settings for duels are 10 mins with 2-min OT fix: model-specific custom sounds using the wrong voice (voiding and a couple of others) fix: time-forced respawns couldn't set a starting weapon reliably Notes for version 0.99x (20 May 02) (otherwise known as the "demos" build) add: Multiview demos! just \mvd and the game will take care of everything. can only be recorded by spectators, and have the same "visibility" rules as normal play, i.e. if teams are speclocked you need a specinvite or referee privileges. since this is ridiculous abuse of an engine that's SO not designed for this sort of thing, you can only (heh: only) MVD up to 12 players, and servers need to have maxclients <= 16 to make sure it works nicely. MVD only works in ProMode ATM - it needs the enhanced event handling code. Not sure yet if it's possible to get it to work reliably in CQ3. add: keystrokes and mouse clicks no longer abort demos :) TAB brings up the scoreboard PGUP / PGDN adjusts playback speed by +-0.25 HOME sets playback speed to 1.0 KP_5 toggles third-person rendering KP_UPARROW / KP_DNARROW moves camera to / from player KP_LEFT / KP_RIGHT moves camera around player KP_HOME resets camera distance and angle MVD-controls :P SPACE/MOUSE2 switches to next player ALT/MOUSE1 switches to previous player note that binds will no longer work in this mode: to enable them, you need to hit ESC to turn off the crapout protection and return to the id behaviour (which means hitting ESC *twice* will exit) add: cg_followpowerup works during MVD playback as well add: team overlay works during MVD playback :P it doesn't in normal GTV/ref "single follow" demos add: cf_Console (default 7x12) - only affects demo playback nice bug in the Q3 engine: fixing the "exit demo on ANY keypress" problem causes the console fail to print to the top left corner so we have to mimic it ourselves add: ch_consoleTime (ms, default 2500) how long "console" messages stay on screen during playback add: ch_consoleTeamChat (0|1, default 1) add team chat to console note that setting this to 0 removes teamchat COMPLETELY from the console, not just from showing up at top left so if you miss it in the teamchat window, it's lost add: ch_recordMessage (0|1, default 1) 0 gets rid of the sodding "recording blahblah" message add: ch_selfOnTeamOverlay (0|1, default 1) add: cg_deadBodyDarken (0|1, default 0) add: don't show PJ message if timescale is less than 1 so you can slomo demos without having that flash constantly add: \followpowerup as a command - same effect as \cg_followpowerup maybe bif will actually use it now (*cough* :P) add: func_plat and func_door can now have custom sounds since the standard sounds are so pathetic as to be pointless use this rather than chaining them to a target_speaker: those get ignored by s_ambient 0 clients (which is everyone) done via two new keys for the entities: "sound_start" (the "move" sound) "sound_end" (the "stop" sound) if not specified, the default sounds are used chg: tweaks to ammo given on weapon pickups TDM, weaponstay, and dropped weapons as before. other cases, the first pickup ALWAYS gives full weapon ammo, so rox+RL is finally 15 rockets, same as RL+rox. later pickups "refill" to weapon ammo as before (i.e. 3 rox => 10 rox) but do NOT give the stupid "one extra round" if you're over the weapon ammo. also, backpack capacity has been reduced a bit. chg: armor default for team games is back to CPMA's "Team" system chg: server_CPMA_armor removed - now implicit chg: CPM1.0 armorsystem replaced with Q1 armorsystem shards at 2 (cointoss, since Q1 didn't have shards) chg: re-ordered the armorsystems: Duel, Team, Q1, Q2 chg: use the predicted weapon for muzzle flash animations / sounds means +fire 4 when holding LG actually makes a GL noise, etc chg: tightened up a few aspects of creepcam camera never drifts behind walls now camera swing accelerated if players make 180s to face a target chg: backpack messages removed chg: removed long-unused cvars g_friendlyfire and capturelimit (scorelimit is always set by "fraglimit", even for CTF and CA) chg: removed cg_timescaleFade rubbish chg: max ammo for BFG is now 25 chg: grenades back to being magically aware of who fired them still do 100% damage, but you can't selfnade any more :( chg: heh - noticed one of the effects of defaulting entities to being unmarshalled :) it completely removes all the lame sound effects on maps like WCP15, regardless of the client's s_ambient setting. that type (target_speaker ents) are now marshalled again for the 0.1% of players who actually use s_ambient 1 chg: #w/#W chat token now shows current weapon and ammo the old "best" weapon meaning was pretty useless #W is red if you have less than one box of ammo, else white #w message doesn't change any colours chg: #M chat token uses box counts to decide what "low" ammo is before it always used 5, which is useless for LG/PG chg: #U chat token also shows time remaining on powerups chg: can only see stats for players in the same arena as you chg: damage and item counts for \stats not available during game except to players checking their own stats, and referees chg: low ammo warning based on current weapon only and determined by box counts rather than guesswork chg: cg_drawAmmoWarning replaced with cg_ammoWarning (default: 1) 0 - none 1 - "click" only 2 - "click" and message chg: removed everything related to cooldown option now fixed at 100ms (old cooldown 0 setting) fix: callvote restart didn't cancel timeouts fix: couldn't unpause a 1v1 if opponent dropped during the pause fix: playerstate events sounding again after external events fix: bars on HUDs 1 and 2 were opaque fix: ProMode sound could occasionally "leak" between arenas if the arenas were right next to each other Notes for version 0.99w5 (5 May 02) chg: "Duel" armorsystem is now the default for team games as well chg: quad shell is now always blue chg: testmodel/testgun cruft removed chg: all HUD variations show flag status in CTF chg: popsicle effect is now totally white rather than bluish-white was a bit too close to the Quad effect with some configs chg: be really agressive about popsicle trajectory tests stops them slipping through seams on maps like DM6 chg: max number of demos on menu increased to a real 240 rather than an id-math 128, which is about 40 :P chg: creepcam_smoothfactor renamed to creepcamSmoothRate since that's what it actually is fix: no blood effect when SG'ing popsicles fix: cg_enemycolors default should be "", not "0" fix: coaches were being blacked out in speclocked games Notes for version 0.99w4 (1 May 02) add: linked/unlinked flag, marshal flag, and counts to \entitylist add: "you defrosted xyz" and "defrosted by xyz" messages in FT (can be disabled with ch_fragMessage 0) add: thawed popsicles explode into ice cubes (many if cg_gibs 1, otherwise just one) add: crosshairnames for popsicles add: players given assist reward for thawing teammates add: cg_noProjectileTrail (0|1, default 0) only affects the underwater bubble trails add: 3D heads on scoreboard and status bar use player colours add: support "armorsystem"/"armoursystem" in config files just for bleader :P chg: preserve reward counts for temporary specs, i.e. dead CA/FT players means you won't see rewards when following other players but your own reward counts will stay correct no matter what chg: "general" entities default to unmarshalled !!! note: I have no idea what problems this might cause. it seems to be fine so far, and on some maps it removes THOUSANDS of entities from client consideration every second so I figure it's well worth trying it for a while. chg: ProMode voting rules can always be voted on can be voted off only if vote_allow_promode is 1, or server_promode is 0, or the player is a "true" referee (i.e. password, not election) chg: removed the never-used "alternate standard" demo naming format chg: closing doors bounce off popsicles, crushers thaw them chg: overhauled a few things in the ProMode sound code sound radius is now 1400 units s_occfactor has been removed :((( the behaviour is now always as it was with s_occfactor 0 i REALLY didn't want to do that, but there seem to be some pathological cases where the true position of an entity is unavailable to us, so any on-entity sounds get messed up chg: \color defaults to 9779 - tshirt and faded jeans :) chg: no time penalty added for \kill in DM/TDM chg: players get 1 point for each second spent defrosting teammates rather than just crediting whoever finished the thaw to balance, teamkills cost players points fix: q3w2 train; dm11 quad room! fix: arena playercounts unavailable sometimes fix: GTV can change arenas again fix: strip filename-illegal chars from player names for demo record fix: drowning timer was being reset during pauses fix: could get impressives from shooting teammates fix: players who died in water (inc lava/slime) gurping on respawn fix: item pickup sounds not played reliably if you respawn ON an item Notes for version 0.99w3 (23 Apr 02) add: say_teamnl -

T is the closest to the old 8 id have always had 5 and 6 backwards. since I can't fix the console, they're now wrong in CPMA as well, for compatibility (note to id: ever heard of constants?) add: ch_crosshairAlpha (0.0 to 1.0, default 1.0) add: \kill adds 5 seconds to respawn time add: Swelt's "Guide To Configuring CPMA" to readme.txt add: Drex's Q3DM12CPM add: cg_oldCTFSounds (0|1, default 0) no voiceovers on captures, flag pickups, etc also controls non-leadchange FTDM end-of-round announcements chg: cg_crosshairColor renamed yet again to ch_crosshairColor default changed to 7 since 0 is now black chg: cg_crosshairPulse renamed to ch_crosshairPulse chg: item scaleup time on respawns changed from 1000 to 250 items also start at half size and scale up from there chg: BFG shots are now 1200ups (was 2000) reload is 800ms (was 200) damage is 120 (was 100) splash damage is 120 (was 100) splash radius is 144 (was 120) knockback scale is 120% (144% relative, given the higher dmg) rocket running boost is 120% absolute (to match RL) warmup/CA ammo 5 initial/box ammo 5 enabled by default in all gametypes except CA/DA chg: cg_errordecay clamped at 0-200 chg: after bouncing, grenades no longer pass through whoever fired them so if you spam, you're a threat to yourself too chg: your own grenades do FULL damage to you, not 1/2 chg: PG splash radius is now 10 units instead of 20 chg: server_availmodes default changed to -1 (all modes) chg: RG selected automatically when respawning in instagib chg: remove g_quadfactor - we override it anyway chg: coaches don't viewcycle to other team even with speclocks off chg: team damage enabled for CTF mode and default chg: stats window removed after intermission chg: CQ3 powerup respawns match ProMode this also means that they're now votable chg: CQ3 ammo box counts for \drop match ProMode chg: cg_lightningImpact enabled for CQ3 chg: timeout allocations were ridiculous new rules are: 2 @ 60s for DM; 3 @ 120s for team games chg: ITDM/ICTF show Net/O/D stats on the scoreboard rather than Acc chg: bot AI adjusted for the new BFG fix: "picked up" stats were counting the killer's current weapon not the one that was actually in the backpack fix: coach chat going to other specs rather than coached team fix: gauntlet would "fire" on occasion even if it wasn't actually hitting fix: id bugs and stupidities in the team overlay location code fix: multiview could make Q3 segfault when a viewed player died fix: team overlay restored in CA if freefloat after following enemy Notes for version 0.99w1 (18 Mar 02) add: total health and armour taken and RA/YA/GA/MH counts to stats add: "picked up" and "died with" counts to weapon stats note: "died with" rather than "died and dropped" so it's good for CA as well add: ch_3waveFont -

cheers Drex doors still don't behave the way we'd really like, but at least it's playable again now fix: starting a server through "practice" preserves g_spSkill (id code resets it to "Bring It On" *cough*) :) fix: "minutes played" wasn't getting reset reliably on map changes fix: couldn't see your damage stats mid-round when dead in CA fix: several multiview bugs fix: gauntlet hits weren't shown unless there was a kill as well fix: players could make multiple gauntlet hits in a single frame (yet another id bug, only happened with pmove on) Menace gets a cookie for finding it :) Notes for version 0.99w (14 Jan 02) !!! Important - CPMA no longer supports VQ3 !!! The non-ProMode option in the mod is now "Challenge Q3". After two years, Q3's newbie population is now essentially non-existent, and the original justifications for certain design decisions are long since obsolete. It's time the base game grew up to match the skill level of the people playing it today rather than the target audience of those who created it. Where ProMode redefines all major aspects of the game: player movement; melee/weapons; and strategy, CQ3 addresses only the strategic elements and a few things that are very poorly implemented in VQ3 (think of these as bugfixes on steroids). The Challenge Q3 changes are as follows: Strategic: Hit tones match ProMode Four tones, each with a 25-damage range Lower pitches indicate higher damage Player spawns match ProMode 100 health; 50 bullets for the MG Player respawn times are reduced Minimum limbo time is 1 second Maximum limbo time is 10 seconds Weapon respawns match ProMode 15 seconds in DM; 30 in TDM; 10 in CTF; weaponstay in FFA Item respawns match ProMode Ammo boxes - 30 seconds Health - 30 seconds DM MegaHealth - 20 seconds after it "runs out" Initial powerup spawns match ProMode 15-30 seconds into the game Powerup factors match ProMode Quad is "true", i.e. 4x damage. Be very afraid. :) Batsuit protects at 75% Armour system matches ProMode (the "CPMA Duel" system) Armour does not "decay" over time GA protects 1:1, first pickup 50, second adds 50 YA protects 2:1, first pickup 100, second adds 50 RA protects 3:1, first pickup 150, second adds 50 MG matches ProMode 5 damage per shot in all games, 25 bullets per ammo box Railgun ammo boxes match ProMode 5 slugs Maximum ammo counts match ProMode SG 100; GL 100; RL 100; RG 100 Item sizes match ProMode Items can be picked up while strafejumping Water speeds match ProMode Faster wading and swimming Fixes: Damage from the "world" matches ProMode Lava and slime cause a steady flow of damage SG matches ProMode Max damage now only 96, but aim actually matters Other enhancements: Grenade model matches ProMode Notes for version 0.99v9 - private build add: update g_gametype on mode changes (non-MA maps only) handy for server browsers add: scorebot helpers to serverinfo Score_Time, Score_Red, Score_Blue Players_Active, Players_Red, Players_Blue add: #F chat token - nearest Friendly player, i.e. teammate add: new meaning for #P chat token - last Pickup add: com_maxfps is capped at 125 for online play add: enable a bunch of ProMode-only features in CQ3 as well cg_smoke_sg; cg_muzzleFlash; cg_damageDraw; cg_drawGun 2; add: "Net" column on TDM scoreboard add: "O/D" column on CTF scoreboard O (orange) is runs+caps+assists D (yellow) is returns+escortD (NOT base D) Demos from older versions will show strange numbers in those fields, as they were used for damage until now. add: "Dmg" column on CA scoreboard add: Show "Net" when playing back OSP demos chg: "Lag" and "Min" replace "Ping" and "Time" on scoreboard needed every bit of space I could wrangle :) chg: "Score" column for CA now just frags rather than "total impact" yes, I know it's lame chg: new rules for #I you must have a clear line of sight to the center of the item you must be looking in the appropriate direction and it must be within your (potential) fov this helps a LOT if you want to say "RG up" but you're nearer YA/PG if you run past the item THEN hit your bind, that's your fault chg: old #P chat token now #U (Utterly Useless powerUps list :P) chg: remove cg_teamrails - it was unnecessary complexity thus, cg_enemycolors is now *always* RHBL chg: armour class for ProMode CA is now YA chg: weaponrespawn is absolute again we gave map-specified respawn times priority way back when, because id "pro" maps would use still 5 secs by default in VQ3. of course, that meant you *couldn't* get 5 sec spawns on them. Poland > VQ3, so it's back to being mod-controlled chg: FFA default and mode weapon respawn is weaponstay chg: ProMode changes do NOT reset ANY other options chg: elected referees can't disable ProMode on PM 1 servers chg: remove arenatype vote - people should be using MODE chg: update the vote UI to use MODE rather than arenatype chg: remove mapcfg from the vote UI chg: remove r_reset command chg: remove reset vote this was originally implemented so that people could use a single vote to get the server back to default (i.e. match) settings. MODE provides a better solution to that problem chg: remove a bunch of useless cruft from server info (doesn't actually make a difference, because as usual id have bodgejobbed the damn thing so it doesn't work) chg: corpse sink time changed from 5000 to 1000 (except CA/DA) chg: DA implemented as a mode (bitmask 512) if used on a non-MA map it will select the CA maplist fix: MH was using DM rules in FFA as well fix: weapon pickup sounds not played if weaponstay was on fix: couldn't pick up dropped weapons in VQ3 if weaponstay was on fix: weaponstay weapons always give full default ammo fix: two-pass spawns at "true" game start were confusing Q3 if you were holding fire at end of warmup client and server would disagree on which weapon you had which led to some very strange behaviour at times fix: poweruprespawn added to mode settings fix: teams are preserved on map changes, as is the queue for 1v1 only for non-MA maps, obviously Notes for version 0.99v8 add: use \color2 for rail rings as well as rail spiral add: demo menu version autodetect updated for Q3 1.31 / dm_67 fix: mode CTF turns off team damage fix: double item-give on first spawn of game (have to spawn items first then players, or you can respawn an item under a player who already picked it up on their respawn) Notes for version 0.99v7 Important! The armor systems have been tweaked in this build for playtesting YA now protects at 66% instead of 60% Since that moves the breakeven point for RA/YA transitions from 120 to 133, the value of a single RA in the Duel system also needed to be increased. These changes mean that the Duel armor rules are now: GA protects 1:1, first pickup 50, second adds 50 YA protects 2:1, first pickup 100, second adds 50 RA protects 3:1, first pickup 150, second adds 50 Wow - a clean, consistent set of armor rules :) Let's hope it playtests well... :) add: match_maxsuicides (default 0 - disabled) players who /kill more than this many times will be auto-banned stops them screwing up TDM games and forcing draws in DA add: map_delay (seconds, default 30) no map voting allowed for this long after a map change unless everyone's loaded the new map and is ready to play stops one lamer with a fast machine forcing changes to a map by voting it in before anyone else has managed to reconnect add: MA maps can be rotated after a timelimit either a hard tl, which rotates no matter what's going on or a soft one, which waits until the "dominant" arena is ready add: map_cfgdir (default "cfg-maps") sets where the maplists etc are read from (for running multiple servers on a single install) add: cf_Vote (default 10x14) add: block the bobup cheat add: nomip blood (128), nomip smoke (256) add: \topshots (ffs rhea...) as a synonym for \accuracy add: per-weapon minimum shot counts to be eligible for \accuracy MG: 50, SG: 100, GL: 10, RL: 15, LG: 150, RG: 10, PG: 45 add: PureCTF grapple model - thanks to Kilderean chg: ProMode colours aren't normalised any more in English, that means they're ALL really bright now. :) chg: remove the vstr vote and cvars - they're always available in ProMode chg: allow \maplist during intermission chg: mode changes on MA maps don't load a new maplist this kinda sucks for servers that switch between MA and non-MA maps AND different gametypes (e.g. a server is on ra3map1 and people want to play CPM3) because you have to call the mode, then call a map that's on the CURRENT list to get the new list loaded before you can call the map that you really want. But that's just the way it goes sometimes. :( chg: damage efficiency calc is no longer rounded chg: removed ch_scoreStyle OSP's "total impact" score is always used: (damage given + 100 * frags) / 100 chg: back to the old-style crosshairname fadeout the OSP one is too distracting for a lot of people, including me :) chg: allow cg_nomip in VQ3 chg: offhand crutch no longer silent chg: fov clamped to 130, and you're damn lucky i didn't make it 120 :) fix: per-map configs (e.g. CPM1A) now go in map_cfgdir/ as well and this time, I mean it. DOH! :) fix: skinned scoreboxes keep team colors when following enemies while dead in CA fix: "#" (no token) chat bug fix: "callvote items +" (no item) bug fix: not always getting the first "spawn weapon to non-spawn weapon" switch without penalties Notes for version 0.99v6 Important: This version contains some experimental netcode+prediction tweaks. While I'm pretty confident they make for better play, especially for the common 35-100 ping case, it may take you a couple of games to get used to them. add: maplist support! :) added cfg-maps/ subdirectory and standard maplists moved cpm1a.cfg to cfg-maps/ add: map_rotate (0|1, default 0) if non-zero and a MODE is enabled, server will rotate to the next map in the list for that mode when fl/tl/cl/rl is hit map_rotate is ignored if the server is in 1v1 mode or is running a multiarena map add: mode_start (default -1 (no mode)) which mode to start with (or switch to if server is idle) add: mode_idletime (minutes, default 10) how long before idle servers reset to default mode+map add: \maplist - shows maps available for current mode add: "callvote map n" where n is a map id from \maplist add: ch_skinScores (0|1, default 0) colors the scoreboxes with the body+legs of your/enemy colors also for the "players remaining" boxes in CA chg: removed the cfg/ dir modes should be used instead for those, for all standard play per-map configs (e.g. CPM1A) now go in cfg-maps/ as well chg: removed the "mapcfg" vote - combined with normal map votes now just use a ! at the start of the "map" name instead e.g. "callvote map !q3dm14tmp" chg: the penalty for switches from G/MG to non-spawn weapons no longer applies on the first switch so you can grab a weapon after respawning and use it immediately chg: pmove_msec has been removed (now always 8) chg: cg_nomip for weapon effects/marks matches OSP 1 - Lightning 2 - Plasma 4 - Rocket explosions 8 - Grenade explosions 16 - Bullets (machinegun and shotgun) 32 - Railgun 64 - BFG chg: the instagib mode bits have been moved down so that they're next to the others. the new values are: Instagib FFA - 64 Instagib TDM - 128 Instagib CTF - 256 chg: respect cg_forcemodel 0 for in-eyes POV in demo playback just for you, JL :) fix: dropped clients would hang around on the scoreboard sometimes fix: stats dumps at end of matches fix: description for chatflood vote Notes for version 0.99v5 Important: I've kept compatibility with Q3 1.27 until now because 1.29 was so awful. Since 1.30 actually works, this build has some changes to exploit some of the features in it, and may not work reliably on older versions. Interesting trivia: the assorted cleanups of the code over time mean that if you use hudstyle 0 (the baseq3 hud) then CPMA timedemos "four" faster than baseq3 does. :) add: \statsall, \statsblue, \statsred add: non-SD overtimes - callvote overtime <0|1|2> default set by match_overtime (default 0) 0 - Sudden Death (first score decides) 1 - Timed Overtime (additional rounds of 5 mins each until a winner) 2 - No Overtime (can end in tie) for MODES: FFA and DM use 0, TDM uses 1, CTF uses 2 add: #C chat token - where your corpse is ProModers tend to respawn instantly - this lets them still use "enemy at #c" / "#c lost" binds add: #I chat token - nearest (potentially) visible item including backpacks and dropped weapons :) add: new meaning for #L - Q2-style locations (nearest armor/weapon/MH spawn) add: mode altca (mode value 4) - ra3-style loadout and damage settings add: if a matchmode is in effect automatically record demos and take screenshots at the end of the game if it's CA, player stats are reset at start add: all matchmodes mute specs; all normal modes unmute them add: better handling of demo playback from broken OSP versions add: cf_Following (default 24x24) add: cf_FragMessage (default 16x16) add: cf_CrosshairNames (default 12x12) and that cute little scaling fadeout OSP uses for them :) chg: ch_drawFollow now sets the y-position of the message chg: ch_fragMessage (0|1, default 1) used to be: 0 - off, 1 - small font, 2 - normal font chg: cg_drawCrosshairNames used to be: 0 - off, 1 - small font, 2 - normal font now: 0 - off, 1 - all players, 2 - teammates only chg: player icon and armor type no longer shown in crosshairTeamInfo (it was wrong before, actually: showed your armortype instead) chg: the "pickup names" and #L descriptions for armors now Red/Yellow/Green rather than Heavy/unqualified/Jacket chg: \scores doesn't show damage mid-round in CA matchmode chg: \stats on speclocked players doesn't show damage chg: cg_autoaction bits match OSP's 1 - Automatically save stats to a local text file at the end of a match Logs are stored in: /stats//.txt 2 - Automatically take an end-level screenshot 4 - Automatically record the game (requires warmup to be on) chg: remove match_overtimelength, match_overtimecount, type 3 overtime (tie-timed) chg: remove all references to QTV (long since dead) chg: remove old #L (health and armor) - it's pointless. use #h #a chg: passworded refs can unref themselves chg: say_team in CA when dead goes to all specs if the other team is not speclocked so dead people can chat with each other in pickup games but you can still talk privately to your teammates in matches chg: predict the grapple trail start point as you move looks MUCH better - thanks Kilderean fix: messages for team/self damage changes were going to all arenas fix: ignore "save stats" commands etc if just playing back a demo fix: player counts were updating instantly if someone joined a CA team mid-round Notes for version 0.99v4 add: the Q3Comp scoreboard. finally! :) when players die in CA, their line is darkblended add: Khaile's 1337 hack to keep the scoreboard accurate during demo playback (players time+ping don't update, but the actual scores do) add: time+date stamp to intermission screen add: ch_weaponListSeparator (length, default: 74) controls the lines that separate sections on the vertical weaponlist add: callvote mode changes to a configuration that is always the same on any server add: callvote match execs a mode config requires even teams to start the game (if it's a team mode) 100% of players must rup for a game to start (if mode uses warmup) locks/speclocks teams when match starts (if mode uses warmup) add: server_availmodes (bitmask, default 63) 1 - FFA 2 - 1v1 / DM 4 - reserved - currently ignored 8 - TDM 16 - CTF 32 - CA 256 - Instagib FFA 512 - Instagib TDM 1024 - Instagib CTF add: ch_scoreStyle (0|1, default 0) - only used by the CA scoreboard 0 - "raw skill" (damage efficiency) 1 - "total impact" (damage given + 100 * frags: the OSP style) chg: instagib warmup now only gives players gauntlet and RG chg: default CA loadouts now match OSP fix: HUD CTF flag status reset at start of games fix: wrong message when referees \removed players fix: rounds played count for DA Notes for version 0.99v3 add: mimic the behaviour of some of the no-longer-supported A3D functions s_occlude and s_occfactor (ProMode only) add: \accuracy [weapon] with no args, shows "best" players with each weapon with "RL" etc as arg, shows stats with that weapon for all players minimum of 10 shots to qualify for the title (except for SG) add: in DA, \stats and +wstats will show your stats if you're a freespec add: OSP Hook control vars hook_enable (0|1|2, default 0) 0 -

finally tracked down the "fake pj" problem on map changes/restarts :) (this also fixes the bots losing their "i am a bot" flag at random) Notes for version 0.120 add: all weaps and infinite ammo in warmup add: "arenatype" now votable add: "arenavote" command to distinguish from world votes fix: map and nextmap voting Notes for version 0.118 add: timeout/timein add: ready/unready add: some more referee functions: team lock/speclock, pause match, ready all, etc. add: loads more OSP voting yumminess - \callvote for help add: callvote armorsystem (CPM (default), CPMA duel (75Y 100R), CPMA team (150Y 200R)) chg: CPM armour system now back to normal (YA 100 (150 max), RA 200) fix: CPMA votables and OSP votables are now all one "thing" Notes for version 0.114 chg: CPM z-knockback is now 36 - this should mean that it's about the same in 127 now as it used to be in 117 it might still need another tweak or two Notes for version 0.111 add: cg_NoChatBeep (0|1, default 0) and cg_ShowPlayerLean (0|1, default 1) Notes for version 0.110 chg: CPM SG knockback of 1.35 reinstated Notes for version 0.109 WARNING!!! this build is basically just a bunch of tweaks to try stuff with: chg: SSG_DMG dropped from 7 to 6. So max SG dmg per shot is now 96 rather than the 110 of vq3 and 112 of v1 chg: while i was in there, i fixed that bs with client drawing the wrong pattern for sg which led to you sometimes seeing blood even if you missed or not seeing it but hearing the hit tone. this change is for the vq3 code as well, currently but can be broken again if ppl really want that. since it's a definite bug, i figured it was okay. :P chg: just for yuks, i implemented the armour changes i mentioned in the forum (it was only 2 lines) so the deal is: YA==75 with 150 stack RA==100 with 200 stack RA/YA breakpoint and conversion factors stay as is (except that there's now an inverted conv as well if you have some YA when you pick up RA, obviously) since we won't change prot% or YA max, and armour still doesn't count down. note: since i'm just messing around, these values are the same for tdm too, which they wouldn't be even if we did change the scheme for 1v1. Notes for version 0.108 (note: version numbering scheme changed) ;) add: very rough CPM-style warmupinfo add: support for # expansions in chat e.g. "say_team i just railed #t" will show up as "i just railed a|rhea" i *don't* have the cpm set (health, armour, low ammo, etc) for tdm in there since i can't find the code... add: promode smoke control for SG (cg_smoke_sg) chg: CPM z-knockback of 40 replaced with VQ3 z-knockback of 24 chg: CPM SG knockback of 1.35 replaced with VQ3 SG knockback of 1.0 chg: CPM LG knockback changed from 1.55 to 1.2 (i.e. RL and LG are now 1.2; gauntlet and PG are 0.5; other weaps are 1.0 (same as VQ3)) chg: thrufloors now does 100% dmg instead of 50% - gonna leave it for the design team to worry about :) chg: cg_drawtimer 1 now shows arena clock instead of world clock; 2 shows both clocks fix: when followspec-ing, shaft now drawn and dmg tones played fix: promode means promode gfx; vq3 means vq3 gfx Notes for version 1217 add: splash through floors. this is NOT the same as the 1.17 splash bug it makes an ABSOLUTE decision on splash through thin surfaces, so it's a lot more consistent than the bug version was. also, damage through floors is HALF what it would be for open splash at the same distance. bug: i've had to force duel arena to roundlimit of 1 - it's too problematic right now otherwise. i'll fix it after the hols. dm is still fine. fix: fraglimit warnings will play properly each game fix: team chg msgs only sent to current arena fix: info for team overlay only sent for current arena fix: id bug - you can now play 1.27 demos back through the ui :) fix: arena votes work again note: you may get "fake" PJ sometimes as a spec - pressing fire should clear it Notes for version 1216 chg: \matchinfo cmd renamed to \scores to match osp fix: w00t! sound-dropping code reintroduced by 1.27 merge replaced AGAIN with osp code. now i can use lg again. :) fix: swap quadshell colour too if swapskins set add: promode smoke control vars for rox+pills chg: promode hit-tones now disabled for non-promode arenas Notes for version 1215 ?fix: found old code in spec set for arena chg (c+p from wrong dir - gg me) - should fix the false PJ ?fix: zombie winners in 1v1 games left over when next match started fix: clients showing scores/warmupinfo/scoreboard etc from wrong arena fix: speclock not kicking specs from players if they were already following before the lock add: cg_teamRails flag :) Notes for version 1214 first 1.27 release ---- "WONTFIX" issues These are problems that we've essentially written off. Hopefully they will never be anything other than few and minor. The doors in the original Abuse Q3DM12TMP are always closed. This is basically a problem with the map itself. The mapcfg version that comes with CPMA (callvote map !q3dm12tmp) works fine, and also saves clients having to DL the 30MB TMP pak. Callvoting items in CTF duplicates flags if they aren't at the base. So don't do it. :)
