Patch 2.4 to 2.4.2 file

To update using the patch: Please delete the files from the old Nexuiz/pro directory! Extract the patch somewhere and then copy the single files from that (patch) data directory into your old data directory and also copy the rest from the (patch) Nexuiz directory (excluding the data directory) into/over your old Nexuiz directory. On mac if you would copy the data directory it would DELETE the old files that you still need for Nexuiz to work!

Changes from 2.4 to 2.4.2 (IN DEVELOPMENT) hotfix patch from 2.4 (~35MB)

Please delete the files from the old Nexuiz/pro directory*! Extract the patch somewhere and then copy the single files from that (patch) data directory into your old data directory and also copy the rest from the (patch)Nexuiz directory (excluding the data directory!) into/over your old Nexuiz directory. On mac if you would copy the data directory it would DELETE the old files that you still need for Nexuiz to work!!

(* All the files from Nexuiz/pro are now in a pk3 file but Nexuiz will still load the old outdated single files from Nexuiz/pro unless you delete them)

Bad 'Lag' that a lot of people seem to have had in 2.4 (though in fact it was not lag but screwed up movement interpolation depending on frames per second and net-connection thats why it worked for most people in 2.4)
sometimes when joining a game particles did not show till a mapchange (like explosions, rockettrails)
Sound problems/crashes on mac and maybe windows. There were reports that cl_capturevideo on windows has no sound.
pk3 files build on mac now loads correctly (see the problems map arboria caused)
new announcer sounds, made by torus
new game mode onslaught and a map for it (ons-reborn by morphed)
crylink primary firemode got reworked
implemented uint16 element array support, this hopefully improves performance on Radeon 9500-X300 cards and GeForce1/2 cards
fixed the Mac OSX rotating hud problem with r_glsl 1
on some custom maps items were positioned wrong.. (well those items still are BADLY placed so mappers should fix the maps but at least now they show up as in 2.3 again)
shownames / hidewaypoints is updated correctly when changed via the menu while playing
bot were sometimes not joining the smaller team
instagib was not always insta :)
bots crashing in keyhunt which made campaign 15 and keyhunt with bots in general unusable
some nexuiz map had a missing tdm mapinfo and thus did not display in the tdm menu
further improvements of the 'lag/movement' fix, even smoother now and less problems with slow connections too. should be as good as it can be now
less problems with quake 1/3 items (some item names conflicted)
minor menu changes
docu updates
fixed more sound problems ?
fix segfault with long aliases
changed some 25 armors to 100 armors on dieselpower
added bloodprionsctf to maplist
turned all the KP_ binds into userbinds so people can finally see those chat binds in the menu AND have some examples on how to use userbinds. (will have to start with a new config.cfg to see them)
raised userbinds from 16 to 32
onslaught ready reset code
new RL weapon icon
centerprint command
crosshair 11, a multicolor version of crosshair 8 (works best with crosshair_color white)
texturecompression parameteres changed
small menu changes
compiles in freebsd again
fixed some map/model bugs
work around some q3map2 bugs
fixed final_rage were some lava did not yield damage
fixed some Nexuiz maps showing wrong items after the q1/q3 compatibility changes
seems the crash at Nexuiz start on windows/nexuiz.exe is fixed
the problems on debian etch and hopefully some 64bit linux systems are gone by using different build machines
added server tools for rcon and a irc gateway
TRUEAIM © had a bug with invisible clips
nexuiz.exe can be used with option -dedicated without problems now
variable r_drawfog
dom game mode now can change spawn points according to captured dom points
several projectiles can now hit yourself
engine should load on windows 95/98/me again
ping display was wrong with cl_movement 0
hud numbers and icons are now closer to each other to make clear which belong together
reload effectsinfo.txt at level start
Extend rcon_restricted_commands to contain more complex patterns
added gl_vbo modes 2 and 3 and add them to the menu
fixed compiling on opensolaris
fixed wrong ping time display with cl_movement 0
g_maplist_check_waypoints: when 1 and the server is not full enough to play bot-less, maps without waypoints will be skipped
make func_snow and func_rain also work when no submodel is used, but origin/mins/maxs specified in the entity parameters. Makes it possible to add snow/rain to a map without recompiling (to create a submodel).

Changes from 2.3 to 2.4 (IN DEVELOPMENT) full (312MB) patch from 2.3 (62MB)

Engine changes:

make gl_vbo saved as it slows down some chipsets
new HUD (can be switched back)

fix gl_lightmaps
log_dest_udp to send all console data to one or more specified addresses in rcon format (to support a server monitor or an IRC gateway)
allow multiple rcon commands in the same packet, separated by NUL (also useful for IRC gateway)
r_glsl_dumpshader to write default.glsl
wheel support for DirectInput (nexuiz.exe -dinput)
texture compression
ReplayGain support for OggVorbis files (mostly useful for fake CD tracks)
sv_autodemo_perclient - record client-like demos on the server (same format, lagged (no support of cl_movement), so basically, just like spectating)
reflections (mappers: see darkplaces.txt)
bestweapon support for Nexuiz; add cycleweapon command
various fixes against different kinds of speedhacks (one reported, two found in the process)
reduce memory usage
fix video recording >1GB by using an OpenDML index
