Changes

Additions

  • Added the new AUTHINFO lump, allowing modders to define their own list of lumps to be authenticated. [Kaminsky]
  • Revamped the scoreboard, and added the new SCORINFO lump that allows full customization of the scoreboard. [Kaminsky]
  • Added support for custom vote types using the new VOTEINFO lump. [Dusk]
  • Added support for voice chat. Audio is encoded and decoded using Opus, allowing it to be transmitted over the network with minimal bandwidth usage and decent quality. Any unwanted noise in the audio is also removed with RNNoise before it's sent to the server. [Kaminsky]
  • Generalized the medal system and added the new MEDALDEF lump to define custom medals. Players can be awarded medals using the ACS and DECORATE functions: "GivePlayerMedal" and "A_GivePlayerMedal". [Kaminsky]
  • Added the +NOMORPHLIMITATIONS flag, allowing morphs to switch weapons, play sounds, and be affected by speed powerups. [geNia/Binary]
  • Added CVars: "con_interpolate" and "con_speed" which interpolates and controls how fast the console moves. Based on featues from ZCC. [Kaminsky]
  • Added ACS functions: "GetCurrentMapPosition", "GetEventResult", "GetActorSectorLocation", and "ChangeTeamScore". [Kaminsky]
  • Added an optional parameter to the ACS function GetChatMessage to let color codes to stay in chat messages. [Kaminsky]
  • Add the resetmap command and associated vote type. [Sean]
  • Added new BotScript commands that allow controlling more inputs (e.g. altfire, crouch, and use), and also to execute ACS_ExecuteWithResult. [TDRR]
  • Added the CVar "snd_lockmusic" which prevents any music changes as if a playlist was playing, based on a feature from ZCC. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVar "blood_fade_usemaxhealth", which scales the intensity of the blood based on the player's max health instead of a hardcoded health of 100, unless the server wants to force max blood on the screen. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the AAPTR_PLAYER_GETCAMERA constant that returns the actor a player is looking from. [Kaminsky]
  • Added an argument to GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_SPAWNED representing a bitfield that indicates how the actor was spawned. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the dmflag "sv_donthidestats" to show an enemy player's stats. [DoomJoshuaBoy]
  • Added a new SelfObituary actor property for when a player kills themselves with an actor. This replaces Skulltag's hardcoded self obituaries for the BFG10K and Grenades. [Sean]
  • Added the DECORATE flags GIVEFISTINGMEDAL and GIVESPAMMEDAL. Projectiles or puffs with these flags will award the player with the "fisting" and "spam" medals respectively upon killing an enemy player. [Kaminsky]
  • Added an option to filter the server list by name within the built-in server browser menu. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the dmflag "sv_dontoverrideplayercolors", which prevents player colors from being overriden. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the EVENT script types for domination: GAMEEVENT_DOMINATION_CONTROL for when a team takes control of a point sector, and GAMEEVENT_DOMINATION_POINT for when a team gets a point for owning a sector. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVar "cl_identifymonsters" which allows monsters to be identified with cl_identifytarget. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CCMD "rcon_logout" so that clients with RCON access may logout if they want to. This also changes the old behaviour where a client who already had RCON access could lose it if they resent the wrong password to the server. [Kaminsky]
  • Added ACS function: "SetGameplaySetting", allowing modders to change gameplay-related CVars on the fly. [Kaminsky]
  • Added "offlineonly" and "onlineonly" options to the game settings feature of the GAMEMODE lump. This allows some CVars to only be configured for offline or online games, or both. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVar "sv_distinguishteamchatlines", which distinguishes team chat messages from normal chat messages in the server console/logfile when sv_markchatlines is enabled. [Kaminsky]
  • The server can now broadcast the name of the current game mode (as defined in the GAMEMODE lump) to launchers. [Sean]
  • Added a segmented version of the launcher protocol, which allows splitting responses across multiple packets, avoiding network issues that arise when packets reach large sizes. [Sean]
  • Added an optional parameter to the "ignore" and "ignore_idx" CCMDs that allows servers to specify a reason for muting a client, based on Janko Knezevic's patch. [Kaminsky]
  • Added ACS functions that provide lump reading capabilities: "LumpOpen", "LumpReadChar", "LumpReadShort", "LumpReadInt", "LumpReadString", and "LumpSize". [TDRR]
  • Added the forcerename and forcerename_idx CCMDs, which forcibly change a player's name to a random generic one. [Sean]
  • Added the GAMEEVENT_PLAYERLEAVESSERVER EVENT script type, which fires when a player disconnects from the server. [Sean]
  • Added the dmflag "sv_nospawntelefog", preventing teleport fog from spawning when a player does. [Kaminsky]
  • Added ACS functions: "AddBot" and "RemoveBot", to add or remove bots from the game. [Kaminsky]
  • The authentication mechanism for non-map related lumps now allows Freedoom 0.12.x and 0.13.0/Doom clients to join Doom/Freedoom 0.12.x and 0.13.0 servers. [Sean]
  • Added ACS functions: "OpenMenu" and "CloseMenu", to open or close menus defined in MENUDEF. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the BanFromGame ACS function, allowing mods to give timed bans to players up to whatever the CVar "sv_maxacsbanduration" allows. A value of zero means that the server forbids use of the function. [Binary/Kaminsky]
  • Added ACS function: "GetPlayerStatus", which returns a bitfield of all the player's statuses (i.e. typing a chat message, talking on the microphone, in the console/menu, or lagging). [Kaminsky]
  • Added ACS function: "SetPlayerWeaponZoomFactor" from Q-Zandronum, the ACS-equivalent to the A_ZoomFactor DECORATE function. [Kaminsky]
  • Added SwayStyle, ViewSwaySpeed, ViewPitchStyle, and ViewPitchOffset properties for DECORATE weapons. [StrikerTheHedgefox]
  • Added ACS functions: "SetPlayerSkin" (from Q-Zandronum) and "GetPlayerSkin", to change or retrieve the name of a player's skin. [Kaminsky]
  • Added client-server netcode for Strife conversations. [Sean]
  • Added ACS function: "GetPlayerCountry", to return the alpha-2 or alpha-3 code, or full name, of the country a player's connecting from. This also respects a player's choice to hide their country. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVars "cl_motionswayspeed" and "cl_jumpswayspeed" (and MotionSwaySpeed and JumpSwaySpeed DECORATE weapon properties), to add additional sway to a player's weapon when they move, crouch, or jump up or down. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVars "cl_stillbobspeed" and "cl_stillbobrange" (and StillBobSpeed and StillBobRange DECORATE weapon properties), to also bob the weapon up and down while the player stands still. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVar "cl_spectatorsource", which enables source-engine like noclipping that allows spectators to pass through floors and ceilings. Based on the "zcc_spectsource" feature from ZCC. [Kaminsky]
  • Added a new flag to lmsspectatorsettings: "lms_spectatorvoicechat", to decide if spectators can talk with live players while a game's in progress. [Kaminsky]
  • Added event GAMEEVENT_LEVEL_INIT, which executes early in map initialization, before things are spawned, OPEN scripts executed, etc. [StrikerTheHedgefox]
  • Added A_ClientsideACSExecute which allows non-clientside actors to execute clientside scripts from within actor states, without using any network traffic. Useful for per-client effects. [StrikerTheHedgefox]
  • Added ACS function: "SetNextMapPosition", to change what the next entry in the map rotation will be. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the enemy icon back and added the CVars "cl_showallyicon" and "cl_showenemyicon" to control when the ally/enemy icons appear. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the PLAYERSEARNMEDALS game mode flag, offering more control over which game modes the players earn medals in. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the dmflags "sv_noallyicons" and "sv_noenemyicons", preventing ally or enemy icons from appearing over a player's head respectively. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVar "cl_autologin", allowing clients to automatically log into their default account upon connecting to a server (Windows only). [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVar "sv_respawninsurvivalinvasion" to allow (dead) spectators to spawn at the start of a new wave in survival invasion. This partially restores the old behaviour of not allowing anyone to respawn until all waves are finished or all players are dead, which was broken since 3.1. [Kaminsky]
  • Added the CVar "cl_showscoreleft", which if disabled will turn "x things left" messages on the scoreboard into "x things to win" and show the current score limit instead of how much is left to win. This only affects frags, points, and wins. [Kaminsky]
  • Added ACS functions: "GetPlayerJoinQueuePosition" and "SkipJoinQueue", to return the player's position in the join queue and allow true spectators in the join queue to join the game outside of normal game mode rules. Modders can also take advantage of the new GAMEEVENT_JOINQUEUECHANGED EVENT script type to know when players are added or removed from the join queue. [Kaminsky]
  • Added over a hundred new text colors recently made by Fuzzball. [Kaminsky]
  • Added new SBARINFO top level "AppendStatusBar" to allow for adding extra SBARINFO code onto existing custom SBARINFO definitions. [Binary]

  • Fixed: a RandomPowerup could try giving the player a powerup that isn't actually an inventory item (i.e. the powerup was replaced by a non-inventory actor), causing the game to crash. [Kaminsky]
  • Fixed: while in free spectate mode, the free spectator itself was used to refresh the HUD instead of the local player. [Kaminsky]

Other changes

  • The result value of GAMEEVENT_MEDALS event scripts can now be used to determine whether or not the player receives the medal. [Kaminsky]
  • GAMEMODE flags are now validated after all GAMEMODE lumps have been parsed instead of after each one. The internal game mode name (e.g. "TeamLMS") is now printed with the error message instead of the actual name. [Kaminsky]
  • Added an extra check to ensure that game modes have a (short) name. [Kaminsky]
  • Restrict broadcasted net commands to clients who already have the full update. [Torr Samaho]
  • "wait 0" is now acceptable and will properly wait one tic. This is because the wait CCMD was always off by one tic, meaning that "wait" or "wait 1" actually delayed a command by 2 tics. [Kaminsky]
  • Changed "sv_respawndelaytime" into a float. It's now possible to set respawn times that are below one second. [Kaminsky]
  • The "ready to respawn in..." message now always appears if a player can respawn, which can be disabled with the CVar "r_drawrespawnstring". [Kaminsky]
  • The server now updates a spectator's lagging status to all clients and the mini lag icon on the scoreboard now shows for spectators. [Kaminsky]
  • By default, the join queue is no longer cleared between levels for all game modes like in duel. The old behaviour can be restored by enabling the new dmflag "sv_dontkeepjoinqueue" which also works in duel. [Kaminsky]
  • Unlagged now restores a player's old height when reconciling them. [Kaminsky]
  • sv_hostname is now cleaned up so that any unacceptable characters and trailing crap are removed. Also, it's now limited to a maximum length of 160 characters to avoid incredibly long server names. [Kaminsky]
  • The "fisting" medal is now only awarded if the player frags another player with a melee hitscan attack, or with a projectile or puff that awards the medal, as it should be. [Kaminsky]
  • The "spam" medal is now only awarded if the player frags another player with a projectile or puff that awards the medal, as it should be. [Kaminsky]
  • Blacklisted the connect, disconnect, reconnect, and restart CCMDs from ConsoleCommand. [Kaminsky]
  • gl_texture is now forced to be true when sv_forcevideodefaults is true. [Kaminsky]
  • cl_identifytarget now prints "ally" if the target is a teammate of the player being spied on, instead of the local player. Also, it now always prints a player's skin with their current class, if unmorphed. If cl_skins is 0, then the skin is always printed as "base" instead. [Kaminsky]
  • The GAMEMODE lump now accepts a wider range of gameplay-related CVars that aren't limited to flags. Strictly speaking, any CVars with the CVAR_GAMEPLAYSETTING bit, or any flags whose flagset has the CVAR_GAMEPLAYFLAGSET (previously named CVAR_GAMEMODELOCK) bit. [Kaminsky]
  • The "maplist" CCMD now also prints "current" or "used" alongside green or red text for map entries that are currently being played or used. This change is particularly useful for consoles or logfiles that strip color codes and couldn't show the colored text. [Kaminsky]
  • Zandronum is now marked as DPI-aware on Windows, which prevents issues caused by the operating system automatically upscaling the game window on high-DPI displays. [Sean]
  • The output of the dumptrafficmeasure CCMD is now sorted by the bandwidth used in ascending order. This can be changed to descending order by specifying "desc" as the first parameter. [Sean]
  • The "logo" property in TEAMINFO, as well as a PlayerPawn's "ScoreIcon", are now usable and appear on the scoreboard. [Kaminsky]
  • Clients are now informed the moment when they're (un)muted on the server, based on Janko Knezevic's patch. [Kaminsky]
  • Showing the player's skin sprite is now prevented if their class's current sprite is TNT1A0 (and its original sprite is also TNT1A0). [Kaminsky]
  • HudMessages that are scaled to the virtual screen now respect con_scaletext_usescreenratio. [Kaminsky]
  • Authentication errors now use all WADs containing authenticated lumps and maps instead of all PWADs, meaning zandronum.pk3, the IWAD, and auto-loaded PWADs can be identified in the error. [Sean]
  • The ACS function "SetCurrentGameMode" now resets the current level upon successfully changing the game mode instead of restarting the entire game, thus no longer requiring clients to reconnect to the server. [Kaminsky]
  • Voting will no longer end when traversing through maps and portals when in a hub. This will prevent a player from purposely cancelling a vote on the server (addresses Issue 711 ). [Ru5tK1ng]
  • Changed the color of the "SPKRA0" sprite to orange and made it low-res to fit with Doom's aesthetics better. [Kaminsky]
  • Maps that have team spawns but no deathmatch spawns should load and spawn the players in when running modes like TeamDM or TeamLMS (addresses Issue 1327 ). [Ru5tK1ng]
  • A server's settings (i.e. any serverinfo CVars the server syncs with the client) are now discarded when the client disconnects and won't be saved into their config file. [Kaminsky]
  • The position of the weapon sprite while swaying now only updates at 35 Hz instead of at the refresh rate. [Kaminsky]
  • Renamed "cl_swayspeed" to "cl_viewswayspeed", to distinguish it from the new weapon sway speeds (i.e. motion and jump). [Kaminsky]
  • Made the mini flag icons that appear on the HUD and scoreboard bigger and easier to see. [Kaminsky]
  • Make GL extension printing optional (using the developer CVAR) [TDRR]
  • Rename GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_ARMORDAMAGED to GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_DAMAGED_PREMOD and changed behaviour to execute on actors without inventory. [StrikerTheHedgefox]
  • IP addresses ranging between 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 are now treated as LAN when determining which country an IP address originates from. [Kaminsky]
  • The next entry in the map rotation is now calculated upon entering a new level, instead of when the current level is being exited. [Kaminsky]
  • The "MapExit" server command now sends all flags used to change the level, so clients may change the level under the same conditions. [Kaminsky]
  • Added new and/or improved ally, enemy, and chat icons made by unknownna that are less intrusive and appear correctly in the software renderer for non-Doom IWADs like Hexen or Strife, while still keeping the same style as the old ones. [Kaminsky]
  • The ally icon now remains fully opaque even when the player has some type of visibility effect (e.g. BlurSphere), to make it easy to spot teammates. [Kaminsky]
  • The console is no longer hidden for clients that were already in the console when a new level is loaded. [Kaminsky]
  • All loaded "ALLYA" sprites are now protected. [Kaminsky]
  • Changed "opponents" to "enemies", changed the coloring of "allies" and "enemies" to match those used in the target identification, and removed a redundant comma on the HUD. [Kaminsky]
  • Changed the default value of "cl_ticsperupdate" from 3 to 1. [Kaminsky]
  • Large frag messages no longer print console messages when they appear, and are now displayed according to the spied player's perspective. [Kaminsky]
  • The login menu automatically sets the username to the client's default username when it's opened for the first time (Windows only). [Kaminsky]
  • Clients now update their ping during intermissions and won't timeout when the server receives their response. Lagging icons now appear properly on the scoreboard without clients thinking that they're lagging when they're not. [Kaminsky]
  • Ally and enemy icons no longer appear above the head of a player being spied on. [Kaminsky]
  • The "next round in..." message is now used in (team) LMS during countdown sequences. [Kaminsky]
  • Map rotations are no longer exclusive to online games and can now be used in offline games. [Kaminsky]
  • Clients with RCON access can no longer start a new (skirmish) game unless they log out with "rcon_logout" first. [Kaminsky]
  • The end level delay no longer ticks while the game's paused. [Kaminsky]
  • Players now earn medals while cl_medals is disabled, but the medals themselves still remain unseen. [Kaminsky]
  • Removed the hardcoded spawning behaviour that was used specifically for Team LMS, in favour of using sv_spawnfarthest. [Kaminsky]
