The latest version of ChallengeQuake3, the recommended open-source client for Q3 CPMA, has been released today! Version 1.46 comes with a lot of rewritten code especially in the input department, as well as changes to the sound system. Several cvars have been renamed, so you might want to have a look at the full changelog for details.
24 Nov 09 - 1.46
add: hopefully worked around some vistajoke mousewheel issues
add: m_limit (default: 0 = off), the maximum post-accel speed to use
chg: sensitivity renamed to m_speed
chg: rewrote pretty much all the mouse code
chg: removed the DI code in favor of "raw" mouse input
this means only mouse1-mouse5 are supported on windows, sigh MS...
chg: updated freetype from 2.3.5 to 2.3.11
05 Nov 09 - 1.45
note: this release REQUIRES arb shader support
if your card doesn't have it, use an older version
add: hw gamma should work on Vista
add: r_measureoverdraw is actually useful
add: r_speeds is far more useful now
chg: sound attenuation is biased
i.e. distant sounds are much louder than in 1.43
since it's still more correctly spatialised than pre-1.43, this is
the best compromise i can come up with
chg: r_fullbright works in vertexlight mode (only)
instead of lightmap only, where it just wasted bandwidth and vram
chg: r_customwidth, r_customheight renamed to r_width, r_height
chg: hardcoded r_mode garbage and modelist removed:
r_mode 0 (default) = current desktop resolution, depth, hz, etc
r_mode 1 = custom resolution etc
note: r_mode 1 WILL NOT tolerate invalid r_displayRefresh values any more
chg: require opengl 1.4 or higher
removed r_allowExtensions, r_primitives, r_ext_compiled_vertex_array,
r_ext_multitexture, r_ext_texture_env_add
chg: removed a bunch of useless/obsolete cvars:
r_logfile, r_showcluster, r_facePlaneCull, r_ignoreFastPath, r_drawSun,
r_simpleMipMaps, r_offsetFactor, r_offsetUnits
chg: don't tablist cheatvar noise if cheats are off
chg: removed the last bits of legacy altivec cruft
chg: rewrote pretty much all the dlight stuff
not only does it actually work reliably now
but it's also massively improved in terms of quality
fix: ignorehwgamma 1 would fail to apply sw gamma to some images
fix: roqs failed to apply sw gamma
fix: sv_floodprotect could block all commands indefinitely
12 Aug 09 - 1.44 (server only)
fix: unbannable player exploit (stanway/auriemma)
