Hammer of Thyrion v1.3.0 Summary of Changes since HoT-v1.2.4: Gameplay: * Gamecode is now at version 1.14. * Teleportation push-speed is now the same as Raven's original except for single player game in the Cathedral level. * Added Pa3PyX' fire delay bits for paladin's setstaff. * Disallowed cycling to a weapon without proper mana. * Enabled impulse 34, (puzzle piece inventory listing) * Speed key now acts as slow key when "always run" is chosen. * mlook and lookspring fixes. * Multiplayer episode selection fixed. * Mini-status is now allowed when hud transparency is set. General Bug-Fixes / Improvements: * Engine version is now 1.14 for hexen2, 0.16 for hexenworld. * Several pointer fixes which would lead to endless loops, "bad movement" errors and such. * Fixed a sneaky demo playback bug which caused a fake freeze-like appearance when no next demos were found. * ChaseCam clipping and pitch fixes (still not perfect, but much better than what we previously had.) * Endianness detection fixes (now decided at compile time not in runtime.) * We now allocate on the hunk (or zone) and don't malloc system memory unless necessary. * Increased hexen2 minimum zone size to 256 kb which now matches that of hexenworld * Fixed alsa minimum required version detection. * Added missing console input code for dedicated server cases. * Added lower/upper boundaries (8mb/96mb) for -heapsize argument. * Added lower (256kb)/upper (1mb) boundaries for -zone argument. * Many build system / makefile fixes. * Huge code cleanup. The code should be gcc4-ready now. Many dead or broken code are removed, as well. * Other smallish fixes such as out-of-bound arrays, etc. General Video: * Added support for window manager icon using xbm format. OpenGL Renderer: * Improved support for 3dfx Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 accelerators including native gamma support through the lib3dfxgamma library. A small HOWTO for these boards is provided, as well. * Added 2-TMU multitexturing support (doesn't work correctly for 3dfx cards, yet.) * Added 2 and 4 sample FSAA support (SDL >= 1.2.6 is required) * Revived palettized textures support which helps saving video memory on old low-end cards (activated by -paltex command-line argument.) * Added texture checksumming which fixes "white" textures when gl_purge_maptex is not set. * Added support for the -conwidth argument which enables larger, thus readable text and bigger hud in high resolutions. * The mesh cache is now searched directly under com_userdir/glhexen, not in search_path, fixing the crazy polygons in mods bug. * Prevent Z fighting in shadows. * Added a gl-gamma trick by LordHavoc which is activated if all other methods of brightness control fail. * Added and fixed (worked-around) "crosshair 2" support of hexenworld to hexen2, which now uses 32x32 pixmaps (pixmap loading procedure stolen from the twilight project). Also merged crosshaircolor (0-255) support of original quake. Software Renderer: * Added "crosshair 2" support of hexenworld to hexen2. * Added transparent statusbar of hexenworld to hexen2 for software mode. Cvar controlled: "sbtrans N", N = 0: solid, 1: slightly transparent, 2: very transparent. Music / Sound: * Added device selection support (-ossdev) to OSS sound. * OSS sound now mmaps /dev/dsp with PROT_READ flag set. * Documented the sound and cdrom device selection options. * Updated cdrom code so that it doesn't completely fail when there is no disc in the drive during initialization. * Fixed a cdrom volume update bug. * Fixed music volume from config.cfg not taken into action on startup * Added FreeBSD and SDL cdrom code. * Fixed midi not playing when midifile exists in the game's searchpath but not in /.midi * Fixed an oversight in reinit_music which resulted in a needless restart of midi music upon pressing Esc twice. Filesystem: * Userdir support is expanded to cover the whole code including server logs, recorded demos, downloaded files and all others. * COM_InitFilesystem is updated and demo/retail detection is improved. Mouse: * Mouse code is re-visited with bug-fixes and cleaned-ups. * The -nomouse option is revived to completely disable mouse usage upon request. Hexenworld: * Fixed a longstanding client crash with lightning streams. * Ported all features and fixes (such as glow code, model recycling, opengl texture flushing, hud fixes, etc) which resided in hexen2 to hexenworld. The two trees are now in sync feature-wise. * Added hexenworld master server (by Marc Allaire, aka. Kor Skarn). * Connection is no longer refused upon client/server version mismatches. Such things should rely on protocol version, not simply version. * Fixed Dwarf class was never being enabled in Siege game in the menu system because of a com_gamedir oversight. * Fixed server sending the wrong message for cdrom track which resulted in cd music not playing on the client side. * Tiny update for failure cases of NET_SendPacket and NET_GetPacket. Game Launcher: * The game launcher is cleaned-up, bug-fixed and and updated to version 0.6.1 to support more options. Platform Support: * FreeBSD: Updated the code to support FreeBSD ( >= 5.3 ). * Win32: Restored code's compilability on Windows platform (using MinGW and MSYS.) HoT tree is now functional on Win32.
