added /con_tilde_mode "2" - fixed annoying behavior of /con_tilde_mode "1" - console is not closing on second tilde press

[uzhosnah]

added new value for variable con_tilde_mode (con_tilde_mode=2).
in this mode, tilde is closing console when console line is empty.
when line is not empty, tilde is added to line

Thank you for the contribution and sorry for the delay.

Some comments for the future:

• Please take care when writing the commit message. First line should be max 60 chars long and should describe briefly what change was done. Then comes an empty line and then full description of the change. - Important
• Lengthy sequences of encapsulated if-then statements should be avoided (use sub-procedure).
• Macros that do not have constant value should be defined with parentheses. So CONSOLELINEEMPTY() instead of just CONSOLELINEEMPTY
• Macros that are used only in single module do not need to be defined in header (CONSOLELINEEMPTY could have been put in keys.c) minor

ok. thanks for notes

have a question: is there an actual public repo for documentation? what is synced with ezquake.sourceforge.net/docs site?
i want to describe /con_tilde_mode "2"

No, access to documentation is restricted.

I have now updated the documentation of con_tilde_mode. Check it out and let me know in case you'd change anything.
http://ezquake.sourceforge.net/docs/?vars-hud#con_tilde_mode

[uzhosnah]

tilde docs are good now.

question about IRC.
i've got a suggestion to make "ignore_irc" option. it should display messages from IRC in console, but don't show them on game screen, because it can distract in important match.
there is no correct way to do this without big hacks in code, isn't it?

[johnnycz]

Yeah, I don't think that is easily possible.

For example FTEQW has a concept of multiple consoles where IRC is send to separated console, and other stuff to different console(s). Then it's somehow determined what gets displayed where. But it's of course lots of changes.
