Title : Ultimate Regular Quake Patch (short URQP)
Filename : urqp105beta.zip
Version : 1.05 beta
Date : 1999-10-21
Author : Matthias "Maddes" Buecher
Email : Maddes@bigfoot.com
Homepage : http://www.bigfoot.com/~maddes/
cdrom.com: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/quake/quakec/compilations/
This file replaces all previous URQP files
Intention
=========
I wanted to fix all known bugs, have skin support and some other goodies which DO NOT change the regular gameplay.
I read some tutorials on Inside 3D and the QuakeC Reference Manual, then started my patch from scratch to learn QuakeC.
After finishing a working version I looked into the source of GLSkins plus MS Pro and changed or added something more.
The bug reports for my buglist helped me to make URQP nearly a perfect Quake.
Later more and more additional features have been added to URQP, which also revealed some other bugs.
If you want to know more about bugs in Quake and QuakeWorld, then check out the buglist on my homepage.
And if you should find a bug in URQP, please mail me.
Have fun
Maddes
Information for Coders
======================
All this is done for the community, if you want to use some of my code then go ahead and do so.
I even suggest to base your own addons on URQP.
The only thing you have to do is to provide a credit for me including my mail address and homepage URL as stated in this readme.
This way I hope to get more people to help me hunt down all Classic Quake bugs.
How To Use The Patch
====================
Create a subdirectory within your QUAKE directory (e.g. QUAKE/URQP), place the pak file in it and don't forget to start Quake with the "-game" parameter (e.g. "-game URQP") and "-heapsize 12288" for Win/GLQuake or "-winmem 12" for DOSQuake (this necessary as the new data needs some space too).
Or you can rename the pak file to "PAK2.PAK" and put it in your QUAKE/ID1 directory, this is possible because gameplay isn't changed.
Use impulse 253 and 254 to get information about the possible impulses.
Note that you get different information depending on playing singleplayer/coop or deathmatch.
These are the standard impulses for the functions, maybe they were changed, but you will normally see them every time you respawn.
Many features, mostly deathmatch, can *only* be activated by setting the console variable "SAVEDGAMECFG" on the server.
Just add the values of the wanted features, e.g. 512+1024 = 1536 for Drop Quad and Drop Ring
As the console variable "SAVEDGAMECFG" and "SCRATCH1" are used, this only works with Quake 1.07 and later.
"SAVEDGAMECFG" bits:
0 = 1 Player skins +1
1 = 2 Player skins +2
2 = 4 Player skins +4
3 = 8 Player skins +8
4 = 16 Player skins +16
5 = 32 Event skins
6 = 64 Drowning doesn't hurt armor by Maddes/Athos
7 = 128 Players can not carry weapons/ammo/armor between levels in deathmatch
8 = 256 Map rotation (works with Quake 1.07 and later)
9 = 512 Drop quad (coop/deathmatch)
10 = 1024 Drop ring (coop/deathmatch)
11 = 2048 Axe-only in deathmatch 4
12 = 4096 Allow a player to resume his deathmatch game (identified by name)
13 = 8192 Delayed powerup spawning on map start
14 = 16384 (unused)
15 = 32768 (unused)
16 = 65536 (unused)
17 = 131072 (unused)
18 = 262144 (unused)
19 = 524288 (unused)
20 = 1048576 Transparent water for monsters
21 = 2097152 Random skins for monsters by Maddes (idea by Jim "Tiger" Schmidt)
22 = 4194304 Skins for monsters by Maddes +1 (idea by Jim "Tiger" Schmidt)
23 = 8388608 Skins for monsters by Maddes +2 (idea by Jim "Tiger" Schmidt)
"GAMECFG" bits: (Used for uncompleted or buggy functions)
0 = 1 Teleporting objects (dying monsters falling in teleporter may loop the game)
Hint:
"QuakeC variables are stored in 4 bytes: 3 bytes for the mantissa, and the other byte for the sign and exponent.
Therefore, using values > 16777215 (0xFFFFFF) will lose access to the least significant bits.
So if you enable bit 24 you lose the ability to access bit 0, if you enable bit 25 you lose the ability to access bits 0 and 1, etc."
Thanks to Carl "Lord Sm�agol" Lloyd-Parker for the info
Map Rotation
============
Make sure you have map rotation enabled with bit 8 of the console variable "SAVEDGAMECFG".
Also you need to specify a high value with the "-zone" parameter on startup, as the rotation uses a lot of aliases.
Creating a map rotation:
Define some aliases which set the needed flags, then change the level and set the follow level in "scratch1"
The last map of a rotation should point back to the first map.
Here's a example for an two map rotation...
alias "1" "deathmatch 1; timelimit 1; savedgamecfg 3; changelevel e1m1; scratch1 2"
alias "2" "deathmatch 4; timelimit 1; savedgamecfg 19; changelevel e1m8; scratch1 1; sv_gravity 200"
It's always a good idea to set *all* important variables ("DEATHMATCH", "TEAMPLAY", "TIMELIMIT", "FRAGLIMIT", "SV_GRAVITY", maybe even "SAVEDGAMECFG") before a level is loaded.
Note the gravity change in the second alias, you can have all console commands at your proposal. By the way gravity 200 instead of 100 is fine for E1M8, you can reach everything and have better control.
Another example with two map rotations are available in "mapalias.cfg".
If "scratch1" contains a non-existant alias, the game will react as normal when no map rotation is active.
Starting a map rotation while in Quake:
Just start a deathmatch game, execute the cfg file with the map aliases and call the first alias (=map) of a map rotation (e.g. "1" for the above example)
Starting a map rotation when starting Quake (e.g. dedicated or listen server):
You should put the following in a cfg file:
savedgamecfg 256 // enable map rotation (256)
scratch1 1 // first map of loop
timelimit 0.05 // timelimit (3sec) hit immediately -> intermission -> rotation start
map start // start server, changelevel doesn't work
When starting Quake execute this cfg file (parameter: +exec <filename>), e.g. WINQUAKE.EXE -listen 16 -zone 2048 +exec mapalias.cfg +exec startsrv.cfg
This will launch the start map, timelimit will be hit in 3 seconds and the intermission is running, when the first client connects the map rotation starts.
When setting timelimit to zero, you can wait for all the players and exiting the level will start the map rotation.
By the way a dedicated server without clients will "hang" in an intermission until a client connects, so do not wonder why your server does not rotate when no client is connected.
Hints:
You can change the map rotation directly on the fly, by redefining the aliases in the console. Or edit mapalias.cfg and execute it again.
You can also skip some maps or change to another map rotation by setting "scratch1" to the desired alias (=map)
Monster skins
=============
For this you need new .mdl files for the monsters.
There are *no* monster skins included in URQP!!!
Please read the "Problems" section about GLQuake and not present skins.
Deathmatch 3, 4 and 5 modes
===========================
These deathmatch modes were taken from QuakeWorld.
Unfortunately Deathmode mode 4 had some mistakes in its implementation:
Deathmatch 4 mode fixes:
- Axe-only only recognized at level start, to avoid later respawning player being full equipped
- No other weapons given in axe-only match anymore
- Weapons from previous level are removed in axe-only matches
- When a player electrocutes himself, he doesn't shoot for a short time anymore
- Player is now electrocuted with <his cells>*35, and not 4000
- When having OctaPower, players do not pick up armor anymore
- Player gets 100 red armor back when OctaPower expires
- Player keeps health if over 100, otherwise gets 100, when OctaPower expires
- When getting bonus powers (octa+pent), armor is also removed because of OctaPower
- Armor type is set correctly when OctaPower is taken or expires
- Weapon changes when using LG and taking OctaPower
- Backpacks are also dropped in axe-only matches
- Giving shotgun plus 25 shells when level ends in axe-only matches, to avoid having no shotgun if next level is played in another deathmatch mode
Most of this changes are based on the .plan files of Christian "Disruptor" Antkow (previously known as "Xian"). Check out his plans at QuakeFinger with timestamp "7/27/97 11:22 PDT", "7/27/97 12:25 PDT" and "7/28/97 11:32 PDT". I found no newer or other information elsewhere.
Deathmatch 5 mode problems:
- Weapons stay removed as no weapons are spawned
- Megahealth will no more rot their health to 100, when still having additional health from respawn
- When a player electrocutes himself, he doesn't shoot for a short time anymore
- Player is now electrocuted with <his cells>*35, and not 4000
Custom gravity/wateralpha for maps
==================================
Map authors can have a special gravity for their maps, they just have to set "gravity" of the "worldspawn" entity to the wanted gravity (just like in Q2 maps).
With non-custom-gravity-prepared addons this will cause a warning message on map start ("gravity" is not a field).
The map will play as usual but with Quake's standard gravity of 800, so check it out with the standard gravity as well.
The idea was taken from a QBoard posting and from the RocketLand addon at http://www.planetquake.com/rocketland/
For a custom wateralpha map authors just have to set "wateralpha" of the "worldspawn" entity to the wanted translucency.
Unfortunately custom wateralpha is only set on the server and not on connecting servers due to limitations of QuakeC.
Idea by Daniel "Armadillo" Roberts.
Problems
========
1)
In SinglePlayer your auto-aim and skin settings will be reset to their values you had when entering the level the first time, because the server is restarted.
There is no workaround for this, just check your settings before you leave any level (even on the start level).
2)
There are some bugs in the Quake executables (DOSQuake 1.08, WinQuake 1.0, GLQuake v0.97, I think MAC and Linux version also).
The function "ftos()" returns a string with leading spaces when the converted float variable is non-integer and also cuts it off after the first decimal (e.g. " 0.9" for 0.93).
The function "cvar_set()" sets the cvar to zero when the string value contains leading spaces.
In conjunction these bugs do not allow to save a cvar, change it for a reason and set it to its previous value afterwards.
Right now "sv_aim" will always be set to 0.93, but if the patch detects that saving/restoring cvars works it will take the value you set.
3)
GLQuake v0.97 has still problems displaying skins correctly.
Dead player bodies loose their colors when the player respawns.
When any client or monster (enitity) selects a skin which is not present each GLQuake client gets a disturbing message like "Invalid skin #<number>".
When a client's selected skin is not present and this client respawns his dead corpse get a messed up skin.
4)
Currently the game can endlessly loop when you allow teleporting objects.
If you kill a monster in front of a teleporter and the dying monster touches the teleporter, there's a small possibility that the game will lock up your computer.
That's why "GAMECFG" is used for this setting, instead of "SAVEDGAMECFG".
