OpenArena Message Boards

Need to do these steps before RC2 is made:

- Update to latest revision of ioq3
- Assure all icons are replaced and OA changes made
- Integrate the new flare stuff (see: oorefflare topic and the code I have in the commits)
- Compile binaries of engine and VMs

If RC2 has no issues then it's a final release. If not then RC3.

Any updates to the maps would count?

Yes, i haven't put in Blitzkried2/3 in yet but that's going in.

I'm submitting today a fixed version of oa_reptctf11, which had a badly-placed spawnpoint (and, of corse, nobody told me about this one ¬¬) and many other errors. (Some badly-aligned textures) Also minor-fixing underworks2. I'll uploading these today, since there're only minor changes.

Would they find their way to RC2?

The SMarine fix wasn't included with the RC1 revision although SVN does contains it. This means the end of the deprecated client?

Just asking, I don't use it...

I forgot about that fix.

The deprecated client is one I use myself... it's what I do all my testing on.

And also the missing textures. (gothic_light\gothic_ironcrosslt2blue* and gothic_light\gothic_ironcrosslt2red*) for cosmo's map.

I'm uploading the new oa_reptctf11.

I have been looking at the engine today. Unfortunately the deprecated engine is a problem: I cannot update it to newer ioquake3 revisions anymore. Apparently it is not just IPv6 that causes it to require XP or newer, other parts now depends on the included headers.

Dunno if this can be useful ...  since the deprecated client seems to be used on windows also because players don't like SDLized mouse control ( anyway the latest official SDL version includes some or all patches used to produce the custom-SDL - Tim Angus patchset ?  ), maybe it could be interesting playing a bit with the CNQ3 1.46 RAW input code ( http://esreality.hexus.net/?a=post&id=1803541 ) ... or maybe not,  because of some limitations ->


RAW mouse input is also used in the dfengine ( http://cggdev.org/node/11 ) , but I don't know / I didn't see yet if both engines implement the same RAW mouse input code. (EDIT) the implementations are different.

I think the legacy client has the same limitations. I think DirectX5 that SDL sometimes has been build against limits the number of mouse keys supported too.

The heck? That's not going to look good for the future.

This is our only hope.

I'll go back and try with the external header file. It broke networking last time but after some afterthought I think locking some CVARs might help.

It is here. The deprecated one and it is no longer deprecated. Source is the same as 0.8.x-13 from the other thread except for a wspiapi.h file from the Windows SDK and net_enabled has been changed and locked to 1 (default was 3 and unlocked) to prevent it from breaking the network.

Tested on Win2k.

File here: http://files.poulsander.com/~poul19/public_files/oa/dev085/openarena-deprecated-0.8.5.exe

Any release date? I'm pretty much quiet, since I've done all the things I wanted to do for 0.8.5. Maybe galmevish2, but isn't on the top of my list of priorities, plus, it needs a redoing.

Yeah it has been really quiet, my fault then again the christmas/new year's crash hasn't been good for my laziness

The hold up is on my fault because the new flare code is still not in yet, and there's that VM bug that was mentioned.


... Yes, I really care about lens flares. They're awesome.

What VM bug?

I still need tcpp to integrate the flares. They do not integrate cleanly in the current source version and I cannot find the source version that it was based on.

http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=1933.msg29139#msg29139 this one?

The flares should work fine in latest rev but i never tested it, it's no diff. tcppjp showed a video of OA081 with these flares, so i'm assuming he did it on the source of 081...

Fixed. The ioquake3 solution is not better.

I have created a patch and will see how it works... but some of the changes to existing code especially the motionJPEG changes worries a bit, they are not entirely obvious and that makes it a bit harder to know for sure that you got the right version.

Sorry, I haven't had time to test for quite a while.  Is my music in this version?

No, my new models aren't in it either. Even with all the music on the SVN version, only like 2 maps point to the actual music files.

Any deadline/release date?

18th for final seems realistic. Other than a slightly older underworks and two orange 2d elements out of place (slider button, mouse cursor) content is very final.

Great. I'm doing some minor work as of now with one of the existing maps (oa_bases3plus3) I'll be publishing the final work in some minutes.

One annoying thing to have to maintain about the patch is putting all those .arena files into one o085p.arena. Because of that, they don't become part of the single player campaign (which would be bad for a patch to do anyway)

I've made an arenas.txt without the extra material and with the recent files. I'll be publishing this as well.
