Revision 329

2021-03-04 AfterShock XE Revision 329

• Added sha256 implementation from Linux kernel.
• Implemented minigames, simple action-based games to be optionally
  played during warmup. First minigame: collect spawn points
  and gain quad when completed (timed), g_minigame <0|1> to disable or
  enable.
• Added cv alias for callvote command.
• Fixed a bug when player names were wrongly displayed in multiview
  when focused by crosshair.
• Fixed a bug when coinflip didn't return properly randomised
  results.
• Added practice mode (backport from AfterShock XE EX). This is a new
  mode that will switch between infinite ammo and no damage to limited
  ammo and damage enabled. Note that the effect of practice mode will
  only apply to freshly spawned clients.
  • practice toggles practice mode.
  • g_practice <0|1> sets practice mode on the server:
    • 0 - off = infinite ammo and no damage,
    • 1 - on = limited ammo and damage enabled.
  • g_practiceDefault <0|1> - sets default mode for practice mode on
    every map restart.
  • g_practiceLock <0|1> - when set, will disable the client's ability
    to toggle practice mode.
• Added g_newTeleportHeight <0-64> (backport from AfterShock XE EX).
  Setting it above 0 will raise the teleport height position after
  going through a teleport.
• Added Two new shotgun pellet patterns: gaussian and circle.
  Available through cvar g_sgPattern (votable if included in
  g_voteNames).
  Default is circle, a compromise in terms of damage between the
  vanilla OA shotgun pattern and the previously available AS one, while
  providing a better distribution than vanilla OA.
• Added a way to tame g_thrufloors splash damage. Previously this
  took values of 0 and 1 (disabled and enabled). Four new fixed
  values are now accepted:
  • full - walls ignored for splash damage, previous 1 value),
  • high - overall reduction to 66% damage relative to full,
  • medium - overall reduction to 50% damage wrt full,
  • low - overall reduction to 37.5% damage wrt full.
• Weapon accuracies are now displayed on the scoreboard for all
  gametypes except Duel and CTF. Only own stats are shown, except at the
  end of the match or while spectating.
• Added location ping feature. Players can bind a key to locPing and
  use the command to place an icon as a means of communication in team
  matches.
• Added GUID info to the server stats (GUID is buggy, but a fix exists
  and could be accepted in ioq3/OA in the near future).

Revision 328

2019-02-12 AfterShock XE Revision 328

• Fixed a bug when the server would crash when a player enters the
  minefield on ra3mp7 map.
• switchserverforce now supports * to move all clients to another
  server at once.
• Fixed a bug when the timer would get offset for clients after a
  timeout
• Added Bench mode. Set g_bench to 1 to activate it.
  If teams are uneven, it will leave players dead next round to have
  equal sized teams. Players get a message when they dont get to play a
  round.
  There's a priority list for players to play next round:
  • players that survived last round,
  • players that did not play last round, the longer not played
    the more preferred,
  • players that survived longest last round.

So the first person on the team to die will sit on the bench (spectate)
next round. If the whole team survived the benched player remains on
the bench.
Bench mode was currently only tested on g_gametype 8 so leave it at
0 on other gametypes for now.

• Added a number of alternative ways to calculate sensitivity depending
  on the FOV.
  • cg_zoomSensitivityASmode selects what algorithm is used:
    • 0 (default) - old Quake 3 and OA algorithm based for
      calculating zoom sensitivity based on vertical FOV,
    • 1 - calculates zoom sensitivity based on the formula from this
      page:
      https://openarena.fandom.com/wiki/Configuration_examples/Scale_mouse_sensitivity_with_zoom,
    • 2 - based on the above formula but also calculated when
      unzoomed for people with a different FOV for each weapon,
    • 3 - similar to the old Q3/OA algorithm but based on horizontal
      FOV instead and also calculated when unzoomed.
  • g_zoomSensitivityAScorrection sets the factor applied after the
    algorithm to do fine tuning (default is 1.0).
  • cg_fovbase - assumes the sensitivity is set for this horizontal
    FOV.
• Fixed a bug when .html stats files would not get saved on CTF and
  TDM.
• Now after a map was voted and played, the rotation resumes from the
  same point.
• It's now possible to add the same map to the rotation several times
  or add several arenas from the same RA3 map.
• Added TAB completion for GTV
  commands.
• Added an option for map selector at the end of a map.
  Set g_useMapcycle to 2 to activate it. It will present players with
  5 maps from the mapcycle section of mapcycle config. Players should
  use vote <1-5> to cast their vote for a next map.
• Crosshair is now shown in multiview mode.

Revision 327

2019-01-21 AfterShock XE Revision 327

• Fixed a bug when One Flag Capture's white flag was displayed in other
  modes on some maps.
• Fixed a number of multiview bugs.
• Added TAB completion for a number of console commands.
• Added coinflip command to flip a coin.
• Fixed a bug when players would get disconnected from a server after
  callvote shuffle
• Fixed a bug when spectators would accumulate extra deaths.
• A map will no longer reload instead of restarting when there's no
  rotation or next map on the rotation is the same map.
• Added switchserverforce command to forcibly switch a client to
  another server.
  Usage: switchserverforce <client number> <ip:port>.
• Added Rocket Arena 3 multi-arena maps support.
  • Use teleporters in the lobby arena on a RA3 map to access other
    arenas or arena <number>.
  • g_lockArena <number> allows forcing everyone into the same arena
    and locking it. If it's set to 0 (the default) people will spawn in
    the lobby arena and there will be no lock.
    g_lockArena is votable by default (included in g_voteNames).
  • callvote <RA3 map name> <arena number> to vote for a particular
    arena (it automatically sets g_lockArena to the <number>
    you chose), for example callvote map ra3map20 4.
    If you just do callvote <RA3 map name> without specifying a number
    of the arena it will keep g_lockArena on the same value it used to
    have.
  • RA3 map's arena can be added to mapcycle config with <ra3 map name> <minimum number of players> <maximum number of players> <arena number>, for example ra3map20 6 10 4.
• Added a posibility to use custom votes without the word custom.
  So instead of callvote custom <vote name> you can do callvote <vote name>. For example callvote ctf instead of
  callvote custom ctf.
• Now on callvote <map name> a map image is displayed in the top-left
  corner.

Revision 326

2018-12-22 AfterShock XE Revision 326

• Added g_legacyWeaponAmmo cvar.
  • When set to 0 weapons you pick up will always add the "standard"
    amount of ammo and all ammo you picked up before picking up a weapon
    will be kept.
  • When set to 1 (default) weapon pickups will fill up the ammo of a
    player to "standard" amount and add 1 bullet if already reached the
    "standard" amount and if you picked ammo before picking a weapon it
    will add 1 bullet.
• Added g_allowKill -1 that allows kill during warmup but disables
  it during the game.
• g_gametype 5 (One Flag Capture), 6 (Overload) and 7 (Harvester)
  names are now properly displayed on the map loading screen.
• On instagib the scoreboard now shows Railgun accuracy instead of
  damage done and received.
• Death and award count are now kept when switching team or joining
  spectators. When joining spectators it adds 1 more death unless a
  player was already dead.

  • cg_spectatorZoom 1 (default) = on,
  • cg_spectatorZoom 0 = off (old behavior).
• Improved demos compatibility with
  q3mme by moving changes to the

  same order as in vanilla Quake 3.

Revision 322

2018-08-31 AfterShock XE Revision 322

  If g_furthestTeamSpawns is 1 and the mode is CA/Elimination, a
  random spawn point will be picked for one team and the other team will
  be spawned at the furthest away spawn point. The same two spawn points
  will be used every round but the teams will switch between them
  alternatingly.
