Swaggerall, bugs caused by turning off sv_pure aren't considered bugs. Turning off sv_pure should be done for test purposes only. Turning it off can cause unpredictible results. If a server uses sv_pure 0, you should blame its admin, not OA devs. More info: (DO NOT LINK) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Pure_server. To connect to that specific server, you will have to manually disable 088 patch before starting the game (e.g. renaming it from .pk3 to .pk3.old).

IIRC, the main menu logo moved to the right is intentional, Fromhell did it this way on purpose... Anyway, if you tested the RCs (that have been there since months), you should have already noticed that. I have no opinion if I like that or not...

With folder problems with Linux do you mean that they have problems accessing game data due to file permissions which are set to allow "root" user only? They have to change file permissions (chmod)... This is a problem that affects the "complete" 0.8.8 download package, but a fixed package should have been uploaded this night...

I have to try if crosshairs have something strange as you say, I have not tried to change them!
Are you sure you have a clean installation, without extra pk3s in your "baseoa" folders under both "basepath" (installation) folder and "DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Homepath]homepath" (configuration/autodownload) folder?

If you have to upload files extensions that are not accepted by the forum, just compress them in .zip format before.

Gig, your comment seems strange to me.  Pure was never the default in Quake III Arena or Team Arena.  The fact that it is mandatory and not recommended is odd to this Quake veteran but perhaps, it's because I am not aware of previous OA discussions leading to the rationale of that "official" decision.

sv_pure "1" is the default value for Quake 3 1.32c. I don't have any previous sources or binaries though. It's also the default in every ioquake3 release ever since.

@WaspKiller: also the reason behind this is that gamecode updates are correctly picked using sv_pure 1, without it clients cannot know whether they are using the right version or not. Also, sv_pure bugs were fixed in some revisions of ioquake3, so now it shouldn't be avoided anymore.

Good to know.

I don't think so but I will verify by installing Q3 Gold and then as many of the individual updates that I have like 1.27, 1.29 and 1.32b/c.  As for the ioq3 source, I never commented on that but I trust what you say as correct.

@WaspKiller: to add more details, there's no hack with sv_pure for OA, it's only the normal behaviour, and in fact it can also be used to this effect with ExcessivePlus: if an excessiveplus v2.0 has sv_pure 1, players that connects with excessiveplus v2.1 will automatically only use excessiveplus v2.0 pk3 (since E+ also use a similar incremental updates system as OA).

So it's mainly set as default to allow for automatic retrocompatibility (client OA 0.8.8 connecting to servers OA <= 0.8.5), but for a normal update (from OA 0.8.5 to OA 0.8.Cool one can disable sv_pure (but it's safer to keep it enable to ensure that all clients load the required pk3 as needed). So a server that is up-to-date can set sv_pure 0, but a server running an older version should not at any cost.

My Q3 1.32c reports sv_pure 1 as default. Even my q3 DEMO (the hystorical four maps Q3 demo! v1.11) reports sv_pure 1 as default.

I noticed neonknight took liberty with the filename (openarena-0.8.8-repack.zip)...


YOU MESSED UP IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OA088.ZIP

you also double messed up, you deleted the original zip file!  I didn't want that until the new repack is confirmed to be available! I thought I made that clear in a PM. Now people at modDB can't download the full thing in the news link!


088 has one screwed up launch -_-  it doesn't help the news article for 088's release was authed too late enough to be snowed on by the next days' news so it never got any front page attention. Makes me wonder if that's intentional

Grey Matter and Gig, both of your are correct.  I installed Q3 Gold (the original 1999 release that I purchased in 2000) and Pure is the default for both non-dedicated and dedicated servers.  It was not even something changed by a later patch.

OSP and Excessive Plus Clan Wars always mandated that Pure be enabled along with many other requirements so I guess this is where my confusion started.  I always assumed that Pure was not the default since it seemed redundant to insist on its being enabled when the map intros always show in large print whether the server is unlagged and/or pure.  Mea culpa.

---------------------------------------------------------------

...I need a vacation.


You deserve one.  Congratulations to you and the Dev Team on the release of 0.8.8.  The full extent of time and skill invested will probably never be known or fully appreciated by most players but the faithful are eternally grateful.

i have alot of issues i found with this...


first off some of the parts in oa are missing colors such as in the system menu AND the crosshairs like the X/t

are missing infact theres alot of crosshairs missing


the total feel is not the same

oa logos are faded on ps9ctf in specfic


and they are either not there or faded


my first time i joined a server using the patch it was nothing but darkness but i was able to see through walls...


(WINDOWS)


on the openarena menu the openarena logo is far off to the RIGHT im not sure if its supposed to be like this but it doesnt look proper

ive spoken to people that are using linux that says there having issues with the folder as well


the patch has no issues with the logos or the crosshairs other than the logo being to the far RIGHT

i have demo but cannot upload here because it doesnt accept the .dm_71 attachment


and i have screenshots of the logos and the darkness but they came out in .tga

Swaggerall, another thing that you may check: http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=4460.0
If you have 085 patch pk3 under %appdata%\OpenArena\baseoa AND 088 patch under OAinstallation_folder\baseoa, you will experience problems. In that case, move both 085 and 088 patch pk3s to the same folder.

I have the same problem as swaggerall with all-dark ps9ctf map since updating to 088. I checked the folders and moved away all custom pk3 files except brightskins.

 

Further I noticed on oasago2 (changed visuals/details if I am right) that I can see through the arched walls when I get close to them and the stairs of the bridge are very bumpy. This is for server A which is the same swaggerall is about.

Server A
 It says pure 0 and problems are as listed above.

Then I checked other servers
Server B
It says pure 1 and old mapscreenshots appear during loading and both maps look like before. So as you wrote before: Server A needs to be pure.

Server C
Had also tested this one. The name says it is already 088 and has pure 1. Oasago2 with new look plays all smooth there. But ps9ctf is dark???

It is not immediately important to me, but why is ps9ctf dark on server C ?

Videoflags I'd say.

Server B: 7
Server C: 0 (as in server A).

Too strange, I can see ps9ctf normally, and I'm using 0.8.8 and a default config for it. (Only changed the screen size to 1440x900 and disabled flares and lens reflection)

Tell your admins to make sure that the server is updated to 0.8.alien both binary and pk3-wise. Also, check for pk3 with customized vms.

I know nothing about videoflags. Do you know where I could find some documentation?

"Videoflags" or "fairflags"?
Maybe they were initially called "fairflags" and later renamed to "videoflags"? In my OA, "fairflags" variable seems to do not exist... while "videoflags" exists (and it is set to 7, the default: that should mean 4+2+1=all three locks enabled?).

Maybe also g_persistantpowerups (cited in the post you linked) was the first name of what is now named "DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/G_runes]g_runes"?

Update: tried... if I set videoflags to 0, now cg_fov higher than 140 actually work (while usually cg_fov>140 affects only weapon drawing and not the world, that is shown like with 140). And it is possible to use r_vertexlight 1 (while it usually reverts to 0 instead). PS: I finally understood why high r_picmip values are automatically reverted to 3!

GrosBedo, how do you think this may be related with their problem? Maybe they use vertex light and that map it looks especially dark in that case?

Yep, fairflags was later renamed to videoflags. It was a suggestion of mine, for a more neutral sounding name.

Also, simple: if with a default config the map still looks dark offline (as in, using devmap and a default config) then I'll believe it's a bug of the map. Otherwise, it's an error of their config.

For me, with a default configuration, many maps look dark: one of the first things I have to do when dealing with a "clean" configuration, is to adjust brightness.

I mean, dark = pitch black.

And strange, I keep on deleting my config and replacing it with a default one, (only replacing the resolution and deactivating r_lensreflection1 - and no, none of them are the problem) and the maps doesn't look dark for me. VGA problem, perhaps?

Gamma, IMO.

Since gamma can be adjusted by many external levels, like room lighting, monitor settings, it's kinda beyond control. Especially that some people have better eyes, can see more out from the darkness, some not.

I do think tho that maybe gamma should be upped in the default config a tiny bit.

Then it's a problem of the server. It might be outdated (i.e. using a previous version of the map, the one in 0.8.5, as the one in 0.8.8 was changed) or there's another pk3 corrupting the map.

There's also the chance that it might not be a pure server...

If offline ps9ctf is normal, it should also be normal online.

GrosBedo, how do you think this may be related with their problem? Maybe they use vertex light and that map it looks especially dark in that case?

Yes that was the idea. But it seems that it does not come from the graphical settings clientside.

I concur with Neon_Knight, probably conflicting pak on the server (but the server is shown as pure, but nevertheless pure does not fix every pak conflicts).
