Quake 3 Arena 1.32 Patch

Windows Fixes:

  • new network protocol, 68
  • network code: improved fragmented messages handling map change while client loads map no longer causes an 'Invalid .PK3' error map_restart while client loads map no longer causes a reload fixing donedl being ignored after autodl if map_restart'ed
  • the demo command has a list of compatible protocols, it will loop through 66 67 68 you can do '/demo four' and it will try four.dm_66 four.dm_67 four.dm_68 or you can explicitely give a '/demo demoname.dm_??'
  • added mousewheel support in the console: wheel to scroll, ctrl+wheel to scroll faster, shift+wheel to scroll history
  • UI in baseq3/ and missionpack/ for PunkBuster configuration punkbuster server in server creation dialog (sv_punkbuster) punkbuster client in server browser (cl_punkbuster) added PB Yes/No to the browsers
  • removed obsolete MPlayer UI stuff
  • bumped server browser to handle up to 4096 servers
  • IP maintained in userinfo
  • cl_guid in userinfo (as part of PB integration)
  • printing ports as unsigned ints, no longer printing negative port numbers
  • cleaned up the legacy IP banning code use * for IP pattern matching now instead of 0 (fixes some confusion) ex: 192.246.12.* made it safe from overflowing and crashing NOTE: using PunkBuster's banning system is advised instead though
  • rcon: some fixes to the buffering to avoid overflowing and dropping parts of the message
  • rcon: now supports quoting /rcon g_motd "foo bar"
  • added SVF_CLIENTMASK (0x00000002), works only with <= 32 players set bitmask of players to which send entity
  • pushed cl_maxpackets upper limit to 125
  • added [skipnotify] from RTCW, use to display in the console only, but not on client screen (also fixes pb_msgprefix and pb_sv_msgprefix)
  • new cvar sv_lanForceRate (defaults 1): forces LAN clients to the maximum rate instead of accepting client setting (1 is the default behaviour, backward compatible)
  • See Readme for complete list of fixes/updates

If you downloaded any of the previous 1.29 beta releases, the auto-update service should update you to the latest version at a considerably smaller download.
