Zandronum 2.0-alpha-140104-1248

[Torr Samaho]

Continuing our journey to 2.0, here is the second beta build that fixes numerous issues reported since the release of the first beta build.

I'm very happy to see that a lot of testing was done since the last release and hope that the testing will continue like this :).

Code: Select all

The text scaling scaling mechanism (controlled by con_scaletext, con_virtualwidth and con_virtualheight) now can use the aspect ratio of the screen instead of 4:3. The new behavior can be activated using a new option in the text scaling menu or with the new CVAR con_scaletext_usescreenratio.

Merged with stable repository.

changeset:   3940:e8084e82b064
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: Portals didn't work online anymore.

changeset:   3941:8cd7aab34ce9
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: Using "cl_capfps 1" under Linux online on a client made the game unplayable.

changeset:   3942:b0f02e540c84
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed menu scaling issues when using 1024x600 as resolution.

changeset:   3943:afde75fee451
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: Mirrors didn't work properly in OpenGL.

changeset:   3944:1c4847460d14
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: Custom player colors online only worked for the console player.

changeset:   3945:263c6ddc28d3
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed code duplication in TryRunTics() that has been in there since at least Skulltag 0.97c2.

user:        Torr Samaho

changeset:   3947:9172e0d2b508
user:        Torr Samaho
Reverted the recent network traffic optimizations for GiveInventory: If a player gets an additional backpack for instance, the amount of backpacks in the player's inventory does not change, yet the clients have to be informed about the GiveInventory call since the backpack contained ammo.

changeset:   3949:6c3a51fe6cb9
user:        Torr Samaho
Reverted the jumping behavior change from ZDoom revision 2238 since it breaks jumpmaze wads. Possibly we need to introduce a compat flag for this in the future.

changeset:   3950:2adabe99ff06
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: Radius_Quake didn't work properly online on the clients anymore since ZDoom changed the tremor intensity scale.

changeset:   3951:4203e407010a
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: Radius_Quake didn't work properly online if the duration was longer than 128 tics.

changeset:   3952:a6ca5647f7d6
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed a crash problem in the renderer.

changeset:   3953:7aeebcf2ea3c
tag:         tip
user:        Torr Samaho
Since ZDoom 2.5.0 (and thus Zandronum) doesn't support script numbers higher than 999, Zandronum now gracefully errors out when encountering a script with an invalid number instead of crashing randomly.

Since I can't help coding (I would but I get lost on what you guys do :s) at least I could help finding bugs and testingn builds (to again, find bugs :D)

EDIT: I hope this time I'll break my record as testing and I'll track 5 or more bugs :D

[Disguise]

Really nice! I'm glad people are willing to test these so we can advance faster towards a release!

[someoneelse]

I really love how seriously you treat bugs and how swiftly you fix them. It's 20 fixes in few days? I wish all developers appreciated and reacted to feedback so much! (especially after reading this "I was banned because" topic ;) )

[jwaffe]

Great work torr!

[mr fiat]

Wonderful job, testing of this build is
Tomorrow right?
Il make sure to be there.

[Slim]

Okay, this might be major, when I try and run this build my keyboard fails to work in it. so I have to alt+f4 out.

OS: Windows XP SP3
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.20 ghz
2.0 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9600 / x1050 Series

And I moved the archive into my Zandronum folder, replacing the .exe and datas.

[Torr Samaho]

Did you try starting with a fresh ini?

[Slim]

Yes, I just did it when you posted this. It's something. Although, I moved my current .ini into the new Zan and then it worked then, might be something about moving it into my main folder.

[Kara Kurt]

I've just tested the build and I must say that I'm gladly impressed because 1) I now can force the aspect ratio in widescreen mode and feel like having a FOV of 90, which means you have to use and point the horizontal edges of your hud to do your Strafe50, 2) polling rate at 1000 HZ seem compatible!

Thanks alot.
