- Widescreen Teamicons GlitchFix: correct positioning of player teamicons above player models in-game when using widescreen.
- HD texture support: supports different sized/scaled default .m32 textures by hard-coding the uv texture mapping sizes instead of reading them from the .bsp, thus is required when using any HD texture mod. see hd_textures
- Improved stable framerate: QueryPerformanceCounter() usage as frame loop timer instead of timeGetTime().
- Lighting blend mode adjustment (if compile with #define FEATURE_ALT_LIGHTING in hdr/features.h)
- Font Scaling
- Console Size Adjustment
- Sane first time settings for SoF init if del config.cfg eg.
If you are on linux, I highly recommend using wine instead of proton. There is less screen tearing, when using true fullscreen (drm.modeset), only noticeable in slight moments. (Because wine has less tearing and less glitchy gun effects/visuals.)
wine SoF.exe +set console 1 +set cddir CDDIR #%command%
However, if you do decide to use Proton, I recommend <= 4.11-13 , else you have to adjust sound frequency each startup. (It sticks to 11, but 22 is better).
Optimal FPS, especially if using wine:
base/autoexec.cfg:
cl_quads 0
ghl_light_method 0
ghl_shadows 0
It is recommended to delete your User/config.cfg file before install so that you get optimal defaults.
Either compile the project using make or grab the pre-compiled from release section.
Ensure/place the sof_buddy.dll file is in your root SoF folder, along with the other 4 scripts.
(dump everything into the root SoF folder)
There are provided 3 useful SoF.exe patchers, which control whether native_wsock/sofplus_wsock/sof_buddy_wsock are loaded. This toggles which mods you want loaded.
sof_buddy will automatically load spcl.dll if it exists in your directory.
So to enable sof_buddy, you must run the .cmd file set_sofplus_and_buddy_sof.cmd.
default = 0
If you run on ancient operating system like windows XP, you might not benefit from the improved stable framerate fix. You would launch your SoF.exe with SoF.exe +set _sofbuddy_classic 1. This cvar is write-only and can only be set at launch-time.
default = 1
This cvar will be saved in config.cfg. If you do not want the process have process priority of HIGH, set this to 0 for NORMAL. This cvar can be changed at run-time.
Credits WhiteMagicRaven for discovering that lightmaps can be blended differently to give lights more punch. For default lighting, change these back to _sofbuddy_lightblend_dst GL_DST_COLOR;_sofbuddy_lightblend_src GL_ZERO
