* Bringing up the "join game" prompt while a spectator is now always activated by hitting space, instead of whatever key "+use" was bound to.
* Bringing up the "join game" prompt while a spectator is now always activated by hitting space, instead of whatever key "+use" was bound to.
==== v0.95k ====
* Duels no longer restart when a spectator leaves the game.
* Fixed problem where dropped flags were often invisible to clients not using the cable connection type.
* Fixed problem where the duel countdown didn't show up on the client end after the duel limit is hit.
* Spectators can no longer suicide.
* Fixed glitched lift on D2CTF2.
* The settings sv_forcepassword and sv_forcejoinpassword are no longer archived (meaning you have to explicitly set them to TRUE if you want them to be on when you launch a server).
==== v0.95j ====
* The join queue now works in ALL gameplay modes; not just duel. So now, in packed servers, you can "wait in line" to play when all the server slots are taken. When a slot opens up, you will then automatically spawn in, instead of having to manually join the game.
* Spectators can now pass through teleports. No more being stuck in the team selection room while spectating!
* Added a Doom 64 guy skin. Thanks RottKing!
* The room now lights up when you fire the railgun like with other weapons.
* Added a missing announcer sound for the Perfect medal.
* Added "Wins" display alongside "Rank" and "Spread" while dueling.
* That annoying bug where a letter would rarely, randomly drop out while typing in a chat string should be fixed.
* The time freeze sphere is disabled in multiplayer for now.
* Fixed problem where the effect of the random powerup could be different on the client end from the server end.
* Fixed a bug where dropped weapons were giving twice as much ammo as they were supposed to.
* When a duel begins, any missiles fired during the warmup are now removed.
* Fixed problems relating to duellimit. It should work fine now.
* Fixed problem where you could have up to 350% armor with 150 max. armor bonuses.
* Fixed a small bug where the fragcount would display on the scoreboard under the deaths column in teamplay DM.
* Fixed some problems with the dynamic wad loading related to the MAPINFO lump.
* You can no longer get Excellent/Incredible/Domination/Total Domination medals by fragging your teammates with friendly fire on.
* Players who join a team and them spectate now lose their team affiliation.
* Improved the gameplay and visuals of d2ctf6.
* Improved the gameplay of D2ST2. The lifts have been sped up, and additional ammo and armor has been added.
* Improved the gameplay and visuals of D2ST1. It is now more clear which team the bases and goal areas belong to, and an alternate path into each base has been added.
==== v0.95i ====
* Added dynamic wad loading! Wads can now be loaded from inside Skulltag with the "load" command.
* Added checksum checks on wads! Now, the server makes sure that players aren't using any cheat wads!
* The ingame browser now automatically loads the appropriate wads when connecting to a server.
* Upgraded Skulltag to ZDoom version to 2.0.60.
* Added "Allow cheat skins" option. When off, players that use skins flagged as cheat skins will appear to have the default skin. Hissy, Doomcrate, Romero, and Daisy are considered cheat skins.
* Added Victory and Perfect medals! Victory is awarded when you win a duel, Perfect is awarded when you win a duel with the other player having zero or less frags.
* Added "You Skill Is Not Enough!" medal! This is awarded for dying 10 straight times without a frag.
* Implemented join passwords! Servers can now set it so that players must have a certain password to join the game. sv_forcejoinpassword and sv_joinpassword control this on the server end.
* Added the "duellimit" variable! Now, when this is set, the level will change after the number of duels equals the number you have "duellimit" set to.
* Added an option to scale the scoreboard! The scoreboard now automatically stops scaling when a lot of stuff is being displayed on it so that everything fits onto it!
* Filled in missing Daisy skin frames with dummy frames.
* Added "r_drawweapon", which controls whether or not to draw your current weapon. Can be useful if you'd like to not draw your weapon while taking a screenshot, for instance.
* Fixed major security hole where clients could rcon a server that didn't have a password set.
* Fixed reported crashes.
* Fixed bug where gibbed bodies would turn into normal corpses after the player respawned in network games.
* Fixed co-op bug where if people connected to a server where monsters were already dead, and had a DSL connection type or less, they would see blood and missiles would explode if they shot over a corpse.
* Fixed "double explosion" problem that would occasionally happen with missiles.
* Fixed problem where players could hear the chainsaw idle sound from other players even when they weren't using the chainsaw.
* Fixed problem where the railgun could shoot past "block everything" lines.
* Fixed bug in the ingame server browser where you could not scroll down when there were more than 8 servers in the list.
* Fixed bug where the face would sometimes not show up.
* Fixed bug where occasionally, players would get a "Server is full" message when a slot was still left.
* Fixed bug where there was an item on a lowered sector, new clients joining the game would see the item in the original, unlowered position.
* Fixed bug where if you did "weapnext" or "weapprev" while spectating, the game would crash.
* Removed the invisibility sphere from D2DM1.
* Railgun shots that strike team members no longer go toward earning Impressive and Most Impressive medals.
* Made it easier to read chat strings in the console.
* You can no longer kill yourself during intermission.
* Cvar "password" changed to "cl_password".
* Disabled the "kill" console command in oldschool mode.
* The "no exit" dmflag is now applied in oldschool mode. Also, if you try to hit the exit switch while "no exit" is on, the switch will simply not work instead of killing you (oldschool only).
* The behavior of the "allow instant respawn" compatability flag is now always applied in oldschool mode.
==== v0.95h ====
* Added the in-game server browser.
* Greatly revamped the DUEL gameplay mode! Now, players can wait in line and join once the current duel ends. Also, instead of the level changing when a duel ends, the loser is kicked into the spectators, and the next person in line joins him!
* Dramatically improved the player prediction. Movement is now much less jerky, especially on high ping servers!
* Skulltag now broadcasts server information, meaning that if a launcher (such as the in-game browser) listens properly, it can pick up servers on a LAN! (Translation: If you host a server on a LAN, and browser for local servers in the in-game server browser, it will show up!)
* Added sv_duelcountdowntime, which controls how long a duel counts down in seconds.
* Upgraded Skulltag to ZDoom version 2.0.57.
* Skulltag can now go between client mode and single player mode without having to restart.
* Now, if users launch a server with "-host #", "#" will become the maximum number of clients.
* Made a slight tweak so that plasma bumping on MAP01 behaves exactly like doom2.exe when the plasma bump compat flag is set. (Thanks cph!)
* Added dmst-duel.cfg and dmclassic-duel.cfg to the install package.
* Fixed problem where BFG9000 sprays were being done on the client end if you had connection type at 56k or DSL.
* Fixed all reported crashes.
* In co-op, game boes back to the initial episode map after getting to a finale of some sort.
* Fixed problem where scaled skins didn't appear to be scaled in multiplayer.
* Fixed overlapping text problem that occured when some messages were displayed in video modes where the width isn't a multiple of 320.
* Fixed problem where rejoining a teamplay DM server resulting in your saved number of frags being readded to the frag total.
* Icons now inhereit the render properties of their tracers. (ex. If you have an invisibility sphere, your icon will appear invisibile too).
* The quit and exit console commands can no longer be called with the ConsoleCommand ACS function.
* You frag total is no longer subtracted from the team frag total when you go into spectator mode.
* Summon cheats now work in multiplayer if sv_cheats is enabled.
* Sound is now played even when the window is not in focus.
==== v0.95g ====
* Upgraded Skulltag to ZDoom version 2.0.53.
* Made a massive fix to speed up item spawning on the server end. This results in much smoother, less laggy games. (Especially in levels with tons of objects. Co-op games should be MUCH better now.)
* Made large optimizations to how sectors work over the network. They are now smoother and less laggy!
* Applied "connection type" to ALL weapons. 56K users are simply told when a weapon is fired, and by who. DSL users are told that, and the actual XYZ, angle, and pitch of the shot, so they can recreate the shot on their end. Cable users get the information about each actual pellet or missile spawned by the weapon firing. The higher the connection type setting, the higher the precision, and the higher bandwidth used.
* Added sv_maxplayers, which limits the amount of active players in the game. People who join the game beyond this limit spawn as spectators.
* Added a trail effect for when players have the turbosphere or haste rune.
* Added field for the password that clients use to connect to passworded servers to the multiplayer menu.
* Added new compatibility flag that enables the original Doom sound curve.
* Add safety measures to the ConsoleCommand ACS function.
* Applied logic for all dmflags that I hadn't gotten around to doing.
* Added option to start as a spectator when connecting to servers. The option can be toggled via the multiplayer menu.
* Drain and reflection runes now work properly.
* Spread now works with all Heretic and Hexen weapons.
* Added "taunt" to the customize controls menu.
* Added con_textcolor, which allows disabling of color for text strings.
* Added chat flood protection. Now, players who spam servers with chat strings get kicked.
* TakeInventory called by server-side scripts now shows up properly on the client end.
* Improved spying through other people's eyes while in spectator mode.
* Added "plasma bump bug" compatibility flag. When this is enabled, plasma bumping on MAP01, BFG bumping on dwango5.wad MAP01, etc. work "properly".
* Objects spawned by server-side scripts through Thing_Projectile now work.
* Added blue/red leads, teams are tied announcer events for teamplay DM mode.
* Added HUD display for team scores during teamplay DM mode.
* Added limited support for Heretic/Hexen weapons over the net.
* Item respawning has been moved more towards the server end. This removes item respawn problems under certain conditions (ie. item respawn in cooperative).
* While spectating, players' whos eyes you spy through, now display the proper view and weapon bobbing.
* Added "disable taunts" compatability flag. This is important because before, the silent BFG effect was triggerable by taunting.
* Fixed major server crash where if the level remained unchanged for more than a day or so, and someone joined, it would crash.
* Desaturated sectors now appear that way on the client end.
* Fixed connection problems related to the level being loaded, without having gotten the player spawning packet(s) yet.
* Change music functions called by server-side scripts now work on the client end.
* Fixed problem where if a texture was changed to "-" during the course of a level, it would not show up correctly for connecting clients mid-level.
* Fixed problem where going into spectator mode while carrying an important object such as a flag or the terminator, would result in the object disappearing for good.

* Fixed problem where typing a chat string with a % sign would would result in a bunch of different characters instead of the actual % sign.
* Fixed bug where the joystick would not work in multiplayer games.

* Made fix to make the BFG firing sound play at the proper time on the client end.
* The HealThing function called by server-side scripts now works.
* Fixed problem where if the was packet loss on the server end, your missiles would appear to come out at the wrong pitch.
* Fixed problem where if you were spying through the eyes of another player during coop, spectator mode, etc., and they disconnected, Skulltag would crash.
* Players now grunt and have their view height shift when hitting the ground hard on the client end.
* Fixed bugs where weapons appeared to be cleared between levels in co-op, but that really isn't the case.
* Fixed bug where spectators did not show up on the scoreboard in teamgame mode.
* Icons now spawn directly over the player instead of at their feet (with framerate uncapped, medals in pervious versions would "float" up to the top of the player).
* Fixed memory leak related to sound on program exit.
* Voodoo dolls now work again.
* Fixed problem where enter scripts would only execute for one player.
* Fixed problem where sometimes "YOU NEED THE <RED, YELLOW, BLUE> KEY" messages sometimes did not appear on the client end.

* Monster pain chance is now no longer factored into the client end.
* Fixed telefrag bug where you appeared to be dead on the client end, but were still alive.
* Normal player sounds are now played when cl_skins is false. Before, even though the player sprite was normal, the sounds associated with the skin would still play.
* Fixed problem where the silent pickups compatability flag wouldn't work if the silent BFG compatibility flag was enabled.
* Autoaim now always works in oldschool mode.
* Fixed a number of minor co-op bugs.
* Removed cl_noalpha. Turns out it just duplicated the effect of r_drawtrans.
* Regeneration and degeneration are no longer handled on the client end.
* Objects are now always infinitely tall in oldschool mode.

* Changed grunting when landing the ground to being client-side (of course, other clients still hear the sound).
* Split up the "Cable/DSL" connection type into two seperate types. Now, if both the server and client have at least a cable connection, SSG pellets will appear in exactly the right place, as opposed to their position being generated on the client end. (WARNING: This takes a LOT of bandwidth! Only do this if you're hardcore!)
* Slightly lowered the volume of the firing sound for the minigun.
* Railgun and BFG10K now produce decals.
* Missiles now spawn with the exact correctness of speed, position, and angle on the client end if both the server and client have at least a cable connection.

==== v0.95f ====
* If the client cannot connect due to the version different, the server says which version it's using.
* Made some more optimizations to the player movement network code, so the same results are acheived with less bandwidth (translation: less lag).
* Added new fireball graphics for the cacolantern.
* Underwater movement is now far less jerky.
* Sounds triggered by server-side scripts now work.
* Fixed connection problem where a bunch of garbage would spew in the console, and you'd get a "Waiting for server..." message.
* Fixed crash on client end that would happen if the server told the client to print an invalid type of HUD message (never really should happen).
* Fixed "flashing red screen" problem.
* Chat prompt is now visible for people using "scale text in high res".
* Pistol was being fired both client-side and server-side. Now it is only fired server-side.
* The BFG10k shooting is now server-side (before, the gun would appear to fire on the client end, but other players wouldn't see the shot).
* The BFG10k shot and the BFG9000 shot had the same spawnable code for scripts. This has been changed (BFG10K shot is now 217).

* Added "<team> has won" to the teamgame intermission screen.
* Textures now set by server side scripts now show up on the client end.
* Line transparency set on the server side now shows up on the client end.
* Fixed two problems after level change: One where a player's names, skins, etc. would be applied to another player, and where players would bomb to the console with a "no player # start" error message.
* Fixed problems with "double vertical" and "double horiz and vert" detail modes, and all other reported crashes.
* Clients no longer play "blue leads, red flag taken," etc. messages when connecting to an active CTF/ST server.
