SevenKewp Client v0.0.1

This is a pre-release of the client for testing purposes. A server package is coming with the v1.0.0 release. See the included readme.txt for instructions.

See below for what's new compared to the vanilla HL25 client.

New Features

For Players

• MORE GUNZ:
  • Sniper rifle (from Opposing force)
  • M249 (from Opposing force)
  • Desert Eagle (from Opposing force)
  • Minigun (from Sven Co-op)
  • Dual Uzis (from Sven Co-op)
    • Tertiary fire toggles dual uzi mode, if 2 uzis are held.
  • impulse 222 triggers a weapon's tertiary attack.
  • 6 weapon slots.
• Lagless RPG laser and Egon flare.
• Reworked thirdperson camera using +thirdperson:
  • Allowed in Co-op servers. Disallowed in HLDM servers (no cheating...)
  • Hold your +thirdperson button to rotate the camera with the mouse and zoom in/out with the scroll wheel.
• Reworked chat:
  • History shown while typing a message.
  • hud_saytext_lines CVar - Controls how many chat messages can be shown at once (5 in HL. 10 recommend.).
  • Chat grows from bottom to top.
  • Chat input appears under the chat, not at the top of the screen.
  • Chat messages appear in the console instantly, not when they disappear.
• New scoreboard elements:
  • Current map
  • Next map
  • Time left in current map
  • Status of each player
  • Colorized ping
• OpenGL Fog (disabled in Software mode for performance). Toggled with gl_fog
• Client update checker and installer.
  • Uses Curl to query and download from the release page of this repository.
    • https://api.github.com/repos/wootguy/SevenKewp/releases/latest
  • A HUD message is displayed when your client version does not match the server. Many features are disabled when this is displayed.
• New custom command menu options (+commandmenu):
  • !UPDATECLIENT - Updates your client, restarts the game, and reconnects to the server.
  • !REBOOT - Restarts the game and reconnects to the server.
• hud_centerid centers both lines of the status bar.
• Mouse is not moved to middle of the screen during level changes (multitasking annoyance).
• -nsfo launch option - Disables fullscreen optimizations in Windows when using a borderless fullscreen window.
  • This fixes Windows screenshots, and fixes screen flicker and lag during alt-tab.
• cl_rspeeds Cvar - displays r_speeds 1 statistics as a HUD element instead of as console spam.
  • Expect low FPS in either of these scenarios:
    • 2000+ wpoly = poorly optimized map.
    • 100,000+ epoly = poorly optimized player models, or too many models in general.
• slot1-slot10 are automatically bound to number keys 1-0 so that new weapon slots and large text menus work.

For mappers and coders

• Weapon limits increased:
  • 5 -> 6 weapon slots
  • 5 -> 8 weapons per slot
  • 32 -> 64 max weapons
  • 127 -> 999 max clip size
  • 255 -> 999 max ammo
• Generic custom weapon prediction system allows servers to make new hitscan weapons without a client update (documentation coming with the v1.0.0 release).

Fixes

• Mouse trapped inside a rectangle with m_rawinput 1 (3f6e2ae)
• Ammo history slot not reset (c6ff80c <- FWGS#460)
• Mp5/Glock reloading twice when holding the reload key (aa62b90)
• Egon flare not displayed in HLDM (57a02e6)
• Weapon deploy animations not playing with lastinv
