Changes

Note
This changelog is compared to Skulltag 0.98d.

Added kgsws' software 3D floors patch. Kudos to him for making a patched based on GZDoom revision 323, that made it easy to apply it to Skulltag. Furthermore, 3D floors are available in competitive modes now. [Torr Samaho]
Added the new experimental GAMEMODE lump that allows to configure Skulltag's built in gamemodes. Note: GAMEMODE is a protected lump, i.e. the GAMEMODE has to be identical on the server and the clients. [Torr Samaho]
Added new ACS command ResetMap that does a map reset like done in survival or (T)LMS. This command only has an effect in gamemodes that have the MAPRESETS flag (can be set with the GAMEMODE lump). [Torr Samaho]
Added live counter to the HUD for survival and survival invasion. As a prerequisite, the server now informs the clients about the lives each player has left. [Torr Samaho]
Added DesignatedTeam property which allows things to be assigned to teams for friendly fire calculations [Blzut3]
Added basic client side prediction for "pushers", for instance used by Sector_SetWind. [Torr Samaho]
Added new compatflag "old random generator", controlled by the new CVAR compat_oldrandom. If this is enabled, the original Doom random table is used to generate random integers in [0,255], which should make for instance the SSG cause a little more damage. [Torr Samaho]
The compatflag compat_oldweaponswitch now also restores the weapon switch cancellation behavior from Vanilla Doom. [Torr Samaho]
Added new CVAR cl_respawnonfire that allows the player to decide whether to respawn when pressing the fire key. [Torr Samaho]
Removed NOGRAVITY from InvulnerabilitySphere, Soulsphere, Megasphere and BlurSphere and added the new compatflag "nogravity spheres", controlled by the new CVAR compat_nogravity_spheres. The compatflag gives these spheres the NOGRAVITY flag again, but only when they are spawned by the map. [Torr Samaho]
Added sv_maxlives support for lastmanstanding and teamlms. [Torr Samaho]
General improvements to announcer code to allow for default announcer sounds. [Blzut3]
Added AnnouncerSound(str entry, int flags) function to allow custom announcer events. [Blzut3]
Considerably improved client side prediction when the player is standing/jumping/moving/landing on another actor, e.g. a bridge thing. [Torr Samaho]
Considerably improved client side prediction after respawning and teleporting. [Torr Samaho]
Clients can now control how often the server sends them updated player positions. The is done with the new CVAR cl_ticsperupdate (default value 3, allowed values 1-3). The lower the number, the smoother the movement of the other player appears on a client but the more network traffic is used by the position updates. [Torr Samaho]
Added Popsoap's dynamic light definition for the SuperShotgunGuy and the Hectebus. [Torr Samaho]
Reworked how lightning generated by the MAPINFO property "lightning" and the line special ForceLightning is handled online. It is almost completely client side now (the server only needs to send a single command to the clients each time ForceLightning is called), thus it causes nearly no network traffic. The only downside is that the lightning effects are not synchronized between clients and server, i.e. the clients evaluate all random values on their own. [Torr Samaho]
Added an auto return system for the terminator sphere and the hellstone, configurable by the new CVAR sv_artifactreturntime (default 30). The terminator sphere/hellstone is moved to a random spawn spot sv_artifactreturntime seconds after it has been spawned (no matter if it was spawned normally at map start or after being dropped by a player). Setting sv_artifactreturntime to 0 disables auto return. This should finally make terminator and possession playable on all maps. [Torr Samaho]
Added CCMD motd which redisplays the message of the day. [Dusk]
Added CCMD version_info which displays information about the Mercurial changeset the binary is based on. [Torr Samaho]
Added CCMD delmap which allows deleting maps from map rotation without clearing it first and CCMD delmap_idx, which allows deleting the map by index number shown by the maplist CCMD. [Dusk]
Added CCMD insertmap for adding maps into the maplist at other positions than just at the end. [Dusk]
Added: "snd_announcervolume" CVAR to adjust the announcer's volume and added an announcer volume adjustment in player setup under the announcer picker. [TIHan]
Added new compatflag "don't stop player scripts on disconnect", controlled by the new CVAR compat_dont_stop_player_scripts_on_disconnect. If this is enabled, the ACS scripts with a player as activator are not terminated when this player disconnects. [Torr Samaho]
Added new dmflag "unblock players", controlled by the new CVAR sv_unblockplayers. If this is true, player bodies are treated as if they had the THRUSPECIES flag and players don't telefrag other players anymore. [Torr Samaho, Dusk]
Added ZDoom's timidity code since it's compatible with our open source license. [Torr Samaho]
Since skulltag_data.pk3 is not auto loaded anymore, shareware IWADs are supported again. [Torr Samaho]
Exported Hissy's turning behavior to a new codepointer, A_FaceConsolePlayer, which takes a TurnAngle parameter defaulting to 0. Hissy is no longer a native actor. [Dusk]
Noticeably reduced monster bandwidth usage by letting the clients reuse the last updated actor positions. [TIHan, Torr Samaho]
Added new ACS command PlayerIsSpectator that returns 1 if the player is a true spectator, 2 if the player is a dead spectator and 0 otherwise. It also returns 0 if the specified player does not exist. [Torr Samaho]
Added CCMD demo_skiptics that allows you to skip a specified amount of tics. For instance, "demo_skiptics 35" skips a second and "demo_skiptics 2100" skips a minute. [Torr Samaho]
Added new ACS command ConsolePlayerNumber that returns the number of the local player. Returns -1 if called on the server. [Torr Samaho]
Added the possibility to leave the join queue with the spectate command. [Torr Samaho]
Added new ACS command GetTeamProperty that returns various team-based information. [Dusk]
Added new CVAR cl_spectatormove which can be used to control the speed of movement while spectating. [Dusk]

Fixed: sDamage_Hellslime and sDamage_SuperHellslime didn't the player's view green online. [Dusk, Torr Samaho]
Fixed: "<name> is a cheater!" message was displaying on chasecam even if sv_chasecam was true. [Dusk]
Fixed: Attempting to play instagib without a railgun resulted in a crash. [Dusk]
Improved the code that removes containing incomplete color codes of type "\c[X" from player names. [Torr Samaho]
Changed F12 to allow spectators full spying, with the exception of during LMS if it's disabled. [Eruanna]
Changed F12 to allow full demo spying. [Eruanna]
Players aren't forced to spectate after a "changemap" map change on a server with a join password anymore. [Torr Samaho]
Player names are now automatically terminated with "\c-". This ensures that using a player name in a string doesn't affect the color of the string after the player name. [Torr Samaho]
The linux binaries are now compiled with -fno-stack-protector in order to increase compatibility with distros using older glibc versions. [Torr Samaho]
For security reasons cl_password and cl_joinpassword are not archived in the ini anymore. Thanks to kgsws for pointing us to this potential security problem. [Torr Samaho]
The customizable "teamgame" game mode now uses the F1_TMGM lump as F1 help screen. [Torr Samaho]
When a player cancels a vote, the other players are not prevented from making this type of vote again anymore. [Torr Samaho]
Skulltag now refuses to delete the active body of a player if it does not have a next state, but the current state has a finite duration. Instead a warning is printed and the body is frozen in its current state. This should fix the Neodoom crashes. [Torr Samaho]
The clients are now informed whenever the server uses the puke command. [Torr Samaho]
Players can't join during intermission anymore. Instead they are put in line and will join immediately after intermission ends (if there free player spots only of course). [Torr Samaho]
The CVAR fraglimt now can't be made bigger than 32767 (SHRT_MAX) anymore. Furthermore, the CVAR timelimit is now limited to the same range as fraglimt. [Torr Samaho]
If a spectator uses "team/changeteam teamname" during intermission, he is now put on the join queue instead of the command being ignored completely. [Torr Samaho]
Since TLMS just went on as usual when the timelimit was hit (although claiming to enter sudden death mode), timelimit is now deactivated in this gamemode. [Torr Samaho]
In gamemodes that reset the map time during a map reset, the timelimit counter is now hidden on the score board while the game is not in progress. [Torr Samaho]
If a client isn't allowed to know the health and armor of another player due to the gamemode, health and armor of this player are not displayed in coop info anymore. Furthermore, the mugshot of these players through coop spy is displayed as if the player had full health. [Torr Samaho]
The server now logs RCON connects to the console. It already logged RCON disconnects, so it should log connects, too. [Torr Samaho]
The CVAR chase_dist now can't be made smaller than 0 anymore. [Torr Samaho]
When a client disconnects from a server, sv_gravity on the client is reset to its default value, discarding the value the server told the client to use before. [Torr Samaho]
Changed the default value of the CVAR skulltag_masterip to master.skulltag.net. [Torr Samaho]
The "sv_cheats must be true to enable this command." message is not displayed more than once per second on a client online anymore. [Torr Samaho]
Being killed by a teammate doesn't count towards "You Fail It" or YSINE medals anymore, making it consistent with excellent/incredible medals that ignore team kills. [Torr Samaho]
When a connecting client is disconnected due to an error, any further net packet from its IP are now ignored for 10 seconds to prevent log flooding. [Torr Samaho]
Clients are now informed about the server's sv_coop_damagefactor value and, if not 1, the value is displayed on the scoreboard. [TIHan]
Adjusted kickfromgame commands to have more verbosity in error messages. [Dusk]
The ally, chat and rune sprites are now also available in non-Doom games. [Torr Samaho]
Renamed CVAR skulltag_masterip to masterhostname. [Torr Samaho]
Removed the skulltag_data.pk3 auto loading mechanism. skulltag_data.pk3 should now be loaded explicitly like any other add-on. [Torr Samaho]
snes_spc and hqnx are now linked statically, eliminating the need to distribute the corresponding dlls. [Torr Samaho]
CVAR "stillbob" has a range limit of -16 to 16. [TIHan, Torr Samaho]
Removed the ancient code that was erasing ZDoomGL settings from a player's config. [Torr Samaho]
If GetPlayerInput is called from a world activated CLIENTSIDE script with a negative player number, the input of the local consoleplayer is returned. [Torr Samaho]
Converted the ACS function GetTeamScore to be compatible with ZDaemon's version of this function. [Torr Samaho]
Raised the maximum number of players from 32 to 64. sv_maxclients and sv_maxplayers still default to 32 to stay compatible with existing mods. [Torr Samaho]
When a spectator enters the game its associated scripts are stopped. Previously the scripts just were disassociated, causing them to continue running even after the player disconnects. The old behavior can be restored with compat_dont_stop_player_scripts_on_disconnect. [Torr Samaho]
