(components relating to hit prediction/ping compensation are not used, we tried it briefly and disliked how the game "felt" in high-ping testing so we're only using the parts of unlagged that improve the overall experience.

2.0 (released: Jun 14th, 2002)

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following section is generally in the order of most recent fixes first and the earliest fixes last. The changelogs were not formalized until after the 2.0 release and so much of the following section is in the form of bug reports that were crossed off when they were fixed. Some notable events are put in bold so they stand out. Our beta testing cycles definitely helped us get a rather solid 2.0 released--just look at the bugs we squashed and the functionality we added in the 6 months between the time 1.1 was released and 2.0 was released! Yeesh! Many of the "I was able to" comments in relation to code was made by JBravo. JBravo was the one maintaining the changelog in the varied and random form we used back then.

• Done: I'm going to delete the ceramic breakable from the directory. It looks crappy and I don't have time to make it good.

• Done: I will be updating the brick and rubble breakables. If I have time, cardboard.

• Done: Please, someone change abbeyskirt to mamimi. Unless you don't agree with me. That affects a lot of files, so make sure you get to everything if you start.

• Fixed: Voting in teamplay

• Fixed: Weapon mode switching (switch to the knife then press "weapon" 20 times quickly - you'll have to wait for 20 weapon mode switching anims to be played)

• Fixed: Fix odd thrown knife behaviour when it hits an unbreakable func_breakable or a func_breakable with high health

• Fixed: Hitbox issue ?

• Fixed: Knives/pistols not spawning.

• Done: Finish up the dev mode menu

• Done: Clean up the callvote menu

• Done: Add an option to change the SSG crosshair {guyincognito}

• Fixed: Get rid of the "agent.jpg" string in the model files for natasha.

• Done: Include Cloud's new files in the main pak (he said he has a new "uber model pack" today).

• Fixed: Sniper rifle muzzleflash is not transparent. {guyincognito} Shader issue ? - Fixed ?

• Fixed: Checked cvar.cfg file. Com_maxfps min setting is too high for example {guyincognito}

• PK3 maintenance: changed bot name to ResDog as discussed

• PK3 maintenance: moved all model-specific files (models, skins, botfiles, config) into separate pk3's in the beta_2_tentative_final_models folder (except for grunt)

• PK3 maintenance: deleted old files

• PK3 maintenance: updated bots.txt to reflect addition of chowda, mlowrey, and natasha

• PK3 maintenance: revised the 3 levelshots that scroll in the background of the menu (thx Spy)

• PK3 maintenance: updated reaction_sfx.shader and breakables.shader to reflect some mapping stuff that changed

• PK3 maintenance: PK3 maintenance: merged the latest stuff from cloud and makro

• PK3 maintenance: breakables are updated to Blaze's new hierarchy scheme, making the pk3 smaller

• PK3 maintenance: the bots.txt file was referencing all of the models so it was split up into 5 files, 4 for the separate models and bots.txt for grunt

• PK3 maintenance: all of the stray shader files for weapons, items, brass, and muzzleflash were consolidated into a file called reaction_items.shader; including the updated laser shader

• When you kill yourself you lose two frags in TP and DM

• On the teamplay create screen, team 2 slots, numbers 2 and 3 are not justified.

• On the teamplay create screen, friendly fire has an on/off toggle. There should be 3 options for ff.

• UI bug: when you pull up the weapon select menu, the top object (MP5, vest) is highlighted. If you use the arrow keys to move around to select a new object, it starts from your existing object, not the top. The highlight should be on your previously selected object when it first pops up. IIRC, in aq2 it always started at the top.

• You can get banned for tking in mm

• Spectator should spawn where he dies

• Spectator sticks in lots of areas. I'm going to just make the spectator a ghost (noclip) and let it fly through walls.

• You can see who is dead and alive through the scoreboard in matchmode.

• That whole "weapon" thing at the end of the map wasn't fixed.

• Needs a space before "was": Szewas taught how to fly by NiceAss

• when you change your nick the scoreboard will show you as "spectating," but you still stay on your team.

• Hopefully no weaponswitching bug on spawns or anything like that.

• New sounds for m4 and HC.

• updated sniper

• LAM weapons

• Makro has done quite some work on the maploading screen. Notice how the text has been moved outside the splashpic and the progress indicator on the bottom. Looks like NA was involved in that also.

• Frost's new Natasha/Natasha is added.

• Makro also did a new elevator system.

• NiceAss did changes to the Pressure system. Now it supports Steam, Water and Fire. Water needs a tga before it works.

• kicking teammates shouldn't be in any version of ff (until after the round is done)

• problem with models & heads

• MM: When the teams unreadied and then readied again, some players were dropped. They were on the scoreboard as being on a team, but they wouldn't spawn during LCA. I had to rejoin the team I was already on to play again.

• Is the vest supposed to work? Knife slashes to the vest only did 20.

• Knives 'hitting'(you here the knife hit sound) but not causing damage. I'm assuming its a knife thing and not a hitbox thing.

• "Connection interrupted" bug.

• When you ALT-ENTER, the game makes you a Spectator.

• "Lights" part of LCA is very faint compared to the rest of LCA. Hard to hear. When it plays at a normal loud volume, it is rushed and late and almost runs into "Camera." (JBravo, didn't you fix this?)

• Q3 "minute remaining" and "frags remaining" sound clips don't fit. (was this already addressed?)

• The no-ammo icon shows up if your gun is empty(suprise! suprise!), whether you have more ammo for the weapon or not. - neg

• Spectators start on SLUDGE locked at the top of the map. That's no good! (some q3_intermission positioning crap for awards or something... we need to handle these better, maybe for end-of-map default views only) - from J_R: "I added an info_player_intermission entity to sludge, friction and tequila in case we ever wanted to use it in TP or for something else. It's a single entity in the map that directs the view to a specific point. The default use for the intermission entity is for spectators and for the bot medal stand after single player bot matches. I added them because we had talked about adding them at some point (I can post a link if you need)." - from Monk: this is a bug in the spectator code, it should be dealt with better.

• The "error" message when you disconnect from a server with an error. It's got the right graphics now but some of the error messages are too big for the box and flow outside of the box. Is there any way to dynamically change the size of the box? Or, I guess, just make it larger in general to lessen the "big error" message issue.

• When NA did a vid_restart the scoreboard did not realize he was on team 1. He was but the scoreboard did not reflect that fact. (related to the other vid_restart issue?)

• Scoreboard should automatically come up when the timelimit or fraglimit is hit. (and you should be at the "intermission" map location, if defined)

• Spectators have -1 ping.

• Sometimes the scoreboard does not keep track of player time correctly. After several minutes, one player had 0 time on the server.

• spawns - it also seems like not all the spawns on a map are being used. It seems to cycle through maybe half of them. (also relating to "spawn furthest")

• Looping sound can't be toggled on/off. This is actually a Q3 bug, but you can fix it (hopefully, please ).

• Q3 "5-4-3-2-1" on map restarts (if it was not mentioned before).

• The sniper rifle doesn't seem to break breakables.

• Must Fix/Add - Double Jumping. (Blaze)

• Knives 'hitting'(you here the knife hit sound) but not causing damage. I'm assuming its a knife thing and not a hitbox thing.

• Q3 "minute remaining" and "frags remaining" sound clips don't fit. (was this already addressed?)

• Scoreboard should automatically come up when the timelimit or fraglimit is hit. (and you should be at the "intermission" map location, if defined)

• Spectators have -1 ping when joining.

• Sometimes the scoreboard does not keep track of player time correctly. After several minutes, one player had 0 time on the server.

• spawns - it also seems like not all the spawns on a map are being used. It seems to cycle through maybe half of them. (also relating to "spawn furthest") - I agree. We never all spawned downstairs in Bullmarket.

• Join team menu doesn't show number of players on the team.

• Don't make it look like your connection has been interupted when you're changing maps, make it load a logo like "locked and loaded" or something like that to show it's loading. - or maybe have "Loading next mapname here".

• Breakable Sounds. We need wood, metal, concrete, brick and ceramic.

• everything knife related -- the sounds, the damage, the trajectory, the visibility

• the way team names, models, skins are tracked, defined, and displayed needs to be cleaned up -- numerous bugs with wrong team names and/or models in the scoreboard and spectating window

• using default Q3 sounds (humiliation, map start countdown, time remaining) -- we should disable or record our own. I prefer disabling them, but others think they should stay.

• You can now choose a color for the non-ssg crosshairs with cg_RQ3_crosshairColorR, cg_RQ3_crosshairColorG, cg_RQ3_crosshairColorB and cg_RQ3_crosshairColorA

• If you set cg_RQ3_tkokAutoPopup to a non zero value you should get a tkok popup on your screen when killed by a teammate.

• Blaze added force and buoyancy to breakables

• I did sniper+headshot gibbing and HC+very hard hit gibbing. Problem is that the HC part doesnt work

• There is a new UI installment, more bot work and impact sounds from Makro.

• Knives should now work 100%.

• Color in nicks no longer fucks up the rest of the lines.

• When the game makes everybody a spectator, it no longer takes people out of their teams.

• When nobody is left alive, spectators in zcam or follow mode no longer get stuck.

• Incorrect model spec. in .ini or via setting cvars directly in server nolonger messes up the heads.

• No more kicking teammates while rounds are still going.

• Updates to abbey, abbeyskirt and action.

• More code fixes

• A jpeg version of avidemo from Makro

• Blaze's reload fixes for the M3 and SSG

• I tried to ignore War and just typed in '/ignore {TGr}' to see if it could fill in the rest, it reported that he was already on my ignore list. This was my first attempt at ignoring. In other words, false names are reported as ignored.

• There now is a ignore system for you to play with.

• Floodprotection has been added to the radio and lots of other assorted goodies.

• New surfaceparms, impactsounds and breakables.

• New media, new sniper, new sounds, new almost everything.

• When I did a give all in DM and dropped the shotgun, I could still switch to it. I couldn't drop any items or weapons after that either.

• Lights sometimes played twice - found it U guys neglected to mention that it only happens if you are not on a team when the lights sound is played --- JBravo is now known as IR-Baboon

• Physics still has the problem with stickiness. NA, if you want the perfect map to test slopes, I can give you lighthouse. It has that sloped jump to the ship, which currently doesn't work.

• Dead players show up ghosted to live players in the scoreboard.

• CF, Irby and me did some MM/TE testing and as a result of that I fixed a few bugs in MM and earlier today Slicer kicked in and fixed the remaining ones. (I know... remaining as in the ones we found).

• Spectator mode switching out of the blue has had more fixes. I hope you guys can now stay in the specmode you choose untill you choose otherwise.

• I was finally able to get the .ini code from aasimon to live together with my model code so from now on the servers will be using the new .ini file.

• Contains NiceAsses Steam code.

• I have now finally fixed the lights sound. I stake my name on it! If it's not fixed, I'll call myself IR-Baboon for a week! (JBravo)

• Contains lots of fixes and killer bots from Makro.

• Contains breakable crash fixes from Blaze and linkable/targetable breakables (again Blaze).

• The beta 2 series is now 1 month old Happy birthday unreleased beta 2

• the noise key in func_buttons should work now to change their default sound.

• NiceAssess new Physics. No stickyness, perfect ramp action and now double jumps

• Double lights for spectators (the IR-Baboon bug) is fixed

• Scoreboard doesnt gray dead players out untill the person viewing it is dead.

• if you have the scoreboard open and a new round starts, it should close (just like in aq2)

• What we have now is almost perfect (if not 100% perfect) rampjumps, circlejumps and strafejumps. We know that dbljumping is still not in, but NiceAss is on the case

• NiceAss added a fragcounter and teamscores to the top left corner.

• New command "tkok" to forgive teamkills. Me and makro plan to add support for a popup UI window to use with tkok (use selectable if that popup comes up or not)

• I think I may have fixed the Lights! sound. PLEASE pay close attention to it tonight.

• More matchmode things are in.

• The breakables folder in pak01 has been redone by Centurion.

• New skin Chowda for grunt which is simply a red version of cyrus. Done by shenka and me.

• Do we have a variable to disable that HUMILIATION announcer crap? We should.

• I have a hard time keeping my spectate mode where I want it. It seems to change whenver I enter spectate and sometimes whenever the person I'm spectating dies. The result is that if I want to keep flic on, I end up spending half my ghost time scrolling through spectate modes. Clearing keystrokes in issue #1 above may help this.

• RQ3 can now tell RQ3 models apart from non RQ3 models with the presance of the rq3model.cfg file in the models folder.

• The M3 reload animation is still wierd...

• g_speed should be defaulted to 320

• explosive breakables crash q3.

• Scoreboard doesn't show if someone is dead or alive

• In Z-cam, it would be nice if it told you who you were spectating. You can see their name if they're on your team, but if they are not it doesn't tell you. Perhaps some of the player info too?

• is 3rd person view a server cvar? Default should be disabled.

• wscores doesn't update if you fire while you're holding the key (may not be a bug at all)

• great heaps of lag when players connect AND join teams.

• new breakables system

• "It's my honor to announce the demise of the beta 1.X series of ReactionQuake3 and the birth of the Beta 2.X series"
  (all fixes above this line are from 2.x, all below are from 1.x)

• Still missing my sniper reset button (unzooms and resets sensitivity to normal)

• Scoreboard needs to go away at the start of the round if it's up.

• GoKu brings up the point that he can just hold down the "weapon" or "special" command to toggle... meaning, it has a repeat function. In AQ2 you had to press it once for every time you wanted to toggle...

• Knives arc too damn high.

• one thing ive noticed with bandolier...in aq2, you could type 'irvision' WITHOUT bandolier and itd say something like 'irvision will be enabled next time you get a bandolier'...in rq3, you need to type it when you have the bandolier, you cant do it BEFORE having it...kinda annoying, just thought id bring it up

• New spectator system. Zcam fully integrated.

• I added $T (Nearby teammates)

• I added a use command. Currently it understands all the RQ3 weapon names (MP5/10 Submachinegun, M4 Assault Rifle, etc.) just like the Choose command and it also knows the same aliases as the choose command does. It also knows "throwing combat knife" and "slashing combat knife".

• I added Damage tracking to the server and scoreboard.

• Bot code update.

• Damage is not being tracked properly.

• When I tried to join a team I did not see any numbers indicating how many players were on each team. - still an issue

• The name of the person you are spectating should be at the bottom of your view, just above the HUD. And make the text smaller. This is so it does not overlap with the scoreboard when you are spectating with the scoreboard up.

• You can spectate in-eyes (1st person) or free-float... whatever happened to 3rd person or "follow" mode? (z-cam code pending integration)

• When you Spectate or follow someone who dies, your view arbitrarily resets to some random point on the map. It should start spectating where you died or, if the person you are spectating died and no one else is left, it should free-float where the person died. - This seems to work when you manually switch out of "follow" mode, just not when you automatically get forced out due to player death. (supposedly fixed in 29 but it seems to be back)

• When you go into free-float mode, you randomly look up. And down. And all the hell over.

• When you die and go into spectator mode (still defaults to free-float instead of what you last choose) it will, after about 15 seconds, go into follow mode. WTF?

• When spectating someone who dies, you go into free-float mode instead of jumping to the next live player. - still an issue

• The ............. at the beginning of each round needs a carriage return or two between it and "Lights!" because right now it just doesn't look good.

• Bandage bug still around.

• Anyone else getting massive lag for a second or two after LCA? (JR) (monk - only on JB's server)

• Everyone was on the teams when the map changed, I think "rcon map" change.

• I was spectating someone, that person got killed, when I talked I gave a say_team location.

• While alive, I could see when my teammates killed the other team--and got names for both. It should only report stuff like that for dead people.

• The between-round time is shorter than AQ2 TP, maybe by a second. Too short methinks. (seems fine now? was this tweaked?)

• On Friction I shot CM in the head with my sniper rifle. It played the 'CM saw the bullet through his scope' message. He was using an M4 at the time. (Sze)

• When you've selected the SSG, you should start a round with the MK23 and have to switch to the SSG.

• i killed myself and it showed the score grid but...my hand holding the gun was still up. if you wanna reproduce it, just keep killing yourself youll get it after a few tries - Freezer666 (deathmatch mode, I assume)

• I know that you can shoot your teammates and have them fly back a little but that can be annoying...just ask DuD. I kept shooting him off of buildings and I'm pretty sure people are going to abuse that. (GoKu) (default should be to non-Q3 FF, if not already)

• Cloud somehow spawned in as an invisible player. Things bounced off of him, he had no name, and he could die. He had no icon in the player listing. (Q3 bug, nothing we can do about it)

• The bots don't take any damage in deathmatch either. Learned this one trying to test maps. (JR, Proto)

• When spectating someone who dies, you go into free-float mode instead of jumping to the next live player.

• Frag count in the top right corner (GoKu)

• One thing is you cant callvote while dead(game things you a spectator)

• make backspace bindable in the menus, if you can ... right now backspace can't be bound, it's the "clear out" button ...

• Radio has been optimized (Slicer)

• Radio enemyd playes "X enemy down" (X = number of frags since last use of enemyd)

• New hyper cool shell ejection system from Cloud and NiceAss on all weapons except the handcannon

• Most of the AQ % variables are in. Only change is that Q3 doesnt like the % char in chat so I was forced to use the $ char instead. These vars are in now:

  • $H = Your health.

  • $A = Your ammo.

  • $W = The weapon you have.

  • $I = The Item you have.

  • $K = Name(s) of the last killed player(s)

  • $D = Last damaged part.

• $K prints the names of the people you have fragged since the last usage of $K. (XXX, YYY, ZZZ and AAA)

• Team names are now dynamic. g_RQ3_team1name and g_RQ3_team2name

• When players that have the lasersight disconnect the game now removes the laser.

• Fraglines like "XXX died" should be fixed.

• Spectator going through doors no longer reset viewangle (NiceAss)

• New command added: debugshit

• Radio commands and sounds (radio, radiogender and radio_power commands implemented)

• Sniper zooming changes. (Slicer)

• Hopefully a fix for the bandage related bugs (Slicer)

• still able to drop weapon while bandaging, just hammer it and you will be able to do it.

• When someone shoots you to say, 25 health and you bandage up and you have 20 health left and then they kick you as a way to kill you it says "GoKu died" instead of "GoKu got his ass kicked by CannonFodder". It works even if you shoot them to 65 health, they bandage and have 60 health remaining and you end up kicking them 3 times.

• In DM, must do "team 1" or "team 2" to spawn.... death by fall damage also crashes quake 3 in DM, I think.

• I think fixing the lastround bug made another. Seems like all the weapons are looking for a last round animation. For the shotgun, mp5, and m4, the last round fired plays no animation.

• That laser dot which never went away.

• while spectating, model/skin showing up incorrectly. Right now it shows up as playername\model/skin. It should be either forward or back slashes, not mixed. Also the skin reported is most often NOT the skin of the person you're spectating and seems to pull from a list of every skin plus red & blue. We should have all been grunt/robber or grunt/cop yet we were grunt/kgb, grunt/red, etc...

• If you zoom during LCA, the x-hair draws, but the zoom doesn't occur until action.

• There doesn't appear to be a way to escape from the weapon/item select menus if you press it by accident.

• Dead body chat thing was fixed? I think in this case he was chatting before he died... Also, there's that floating number that really shouldn't be in any gameplay mode but DM.

• And the Q3-backflip is still there ... should it be ? .. it might confuse .. Backflip was not a feature in AQ2.

• The M3 animation while reloading seems to be lagging or clipping or what i should call it .. it's not smooth.. heh

• \ui_RQ3_weapAfterJoin 1 - doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. I figured it'd do a weapon menu after I joined a team but any combination (auto-join, team 1, using mouse, using shortcut keys, typing in console) didn't do anything.

• Ability to choose a "blank" crosshair for those who don't want a crosshair.

• After you join a team you should be able to immediately get taken to the weapon/item menus.

• The Join menu should have the players current on each team listed. Like, "Team 1 [3]" and "Team 2[4]" and "Spectators[0]".

• No way to determine what team the person you are spectating is on. In AQ2 it shows "Black Monk model: male/resdog" and if you know the models at least you know what team the person is on. We need something like that or better (i.e., just list the damn team name if TP, CTB, OFC, or TDM, but Arena or DM should have the model and skin names) - basic functionality is there but hell, we can do better... team names instead of model names, perhaps? Model names only make sense for DM.

• when spectating, I sometimes flew around horizontal to the floor, as if I was dead, but getting the messages of the person it said I was spectating. eg) following Monk, I could see his HC, and read the "You fragged Centurion" messages, ect, but could fly around on my own, and was 90 degrees from a normal following spectating view.. kindof a cross between the 2 - Birdman

• When you Spectate or follow someone who dies, your view arbitrarily resets to some random point on the map. It should start spectating where you died or, if the person you are spectating died and no one else is left, it should free-float where the person died. - This seems to work when you manually switch out of "follow" mode, just not when you automatically get forced out due to player death.

• Gibs in spectator mode float

• When you spectate someone who dies apparently you "die" too, have a message played back and lose a frag. Might only happen for falling death, though. (unconfirmed?)

• The weapon mode and pistol/rifle settings only work properly for the first round. After that it's pot-luck. My knives kept switching back and forth from slash to throw. The rifle and pistol were on a carousel. - Sze

• Both teams spawned from the same spot several times. - Sze (didn't see this in 28 testing, though)

• Floating numbers over dead bodies when you frag someone... might be good for DM where it is on a staying alive scale, the more you kill the more you get per kill, but in TP or other gameplay modes it doesn't make sense.

• There are stupid triangles over my teammates' heads. They really shouldn't be there (same with Team DM mode and CTB mode, I think) - is there a cvar default that wasn't changed?

• I had a HC but started with a pistol? This happened after I had spectated someone using akimbo pistols and was dead (see Spectator section above). This happened again for many people. - Didn't hear any reports of this in release 28.

• When you get close or aim on an ENEMY, his name seems to appear.

• The TA UI from Makro :-)

• more scoreboard fixes (Niceass, Slicer)

• fixed respawn as live player when switching teams while dead

• remove an extra respawn when joining a team for the first time

• fixed a bug where players weapon would reset to mp5 on teamchange.

• fixed the lasersight staying on if the player had picked up a laser in the round before.

• fixed the bug where the game would play pain sounds and anims for falling dmg during LCA

• Follow Spectating now shows the player's hud and the ssg zoom (Slicer)

• fixed a bug that reset weaponmodes for pistols, knifes and grenades.

• If the sniper is the main weapon, players now spawn with pistol and must switch to sniper.

• Possible fix for the "Couldn't find item for weapon X" bug. Debugging messages are printed here in case anyone sees this bug again.

• Added a new cvar (g_RQ3_sniperup) to give players the option to start with the sniper up. 0 = pistol up, 1 = sniper up. Default = 0

• Made it OK to frag teammates after rounds are over (no -1 frag)

• When first person spectating a player his weapon is now drawn (Slicer)

• New scoreboard. -Not finished-

• enableBreath added

• Various TP bugs fixed that I don't know about

• Basic MatchMode added which I don't know about

• New physics.

• 'Splosions.

• Large number of TP bugs squashed.

• g_friendlyFire (0 = off, 1 = on and 2 = off with knockback)

• g_RQ3_limchasecam (limits players to in eyes view of teammates)

• The surfacetype changes. (gravel now where grass is. Grass now has a new slot. New additions are Snow, Wood2, Mud and Hardmetal.

• func_explosive (any news on this mappers?)

• Status on matchmode is that rq3 now has the sub, captain and ready commands in and basic framework for matchmode.

1.1 (released: Jan 13th, 2002)

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following section is NiceAss's worklog. He maintained the changelog for RQ3 between version 1.0 and 1.1 and did a bulk of the work. After 1.1 was finished most of his efforts went into tweaking the physics to recreate the AQ2 feel. The work leading up to 2.0 was more balanced and concentrated on JBravo's work which he had been doing in parallel to NiceAss's 1.1 work. What was JBravo working on that was not released with the 1.1 patch? The Teamplay gameplay mode...

• Seems when the sound fix was added, the cg_drawgun check was moved into a function that worked for both 1st and 3rd person weapon drawing. I just had it not draw the gun if it was 1st person with cg_drawgun 0.

• Fixed a "bug" in the code with the trapdoor in lighthouse.

• Grenade kick when in god fixed.

• No more multiple slash sounds sometimes when played locally, always when played on a server -- I HOPE.

• Fixed "SERVER: G_RQ3_RepawnProtectTime changed to 2" when you shatter glass, shoot a door and maybe other things.

• Grenade drop/toss now correct when you switch weapons while holding it primed.

• I was tired of seeing knifes floating in the air after breaking glass, so I changed it a little. Tell me if this is Ok. It will continue traveling after breaking the glass, but its velocity will be halfed.

• I've added a cvar called cg_rq3_strobe (default: off). Strobe will continue to use Elder's shader.

• NUMEROUS fixes to the grenade animation.

• NUMEROUS fixes to the knife animation.

• Bandaging with knife as current weapon now uses correct disarm animation.

• M4 delay shortened for activation.

• Weapons/Knife larger.

• No more rotation when the weapon hits the ground from a distance.

• Door trigger sizes match AQ2's now.

• The "You fragged blah" message now always shows, but made it smaller and up higher.

• Knife is now scaled when in flight (it wasn't before!). Much better!

• Knife slash "attacks" 5 times, just like AQ2. [By AgtGrape]

• M4 will shoot through people, except the chest when that person has a kevlar.

• Multiple doors can be triggered if you are in their trigger area (Like in AQ2).

• Sparks (both kinds) now "ricochet" off the wall. It's dependent on the direction and normal of the plane, and not just the plane like it was before. I also tweaked them a little =)

• /Devmap won't send out cvar.cfg to clients.

• Mode switch for knives (slash to throw/throw to slash) added.

• In-game browser filters. Only RQ3 games show up. [By AgtApple]

• Any model that isn't grunt will be forced to "grunt/resdog". Everyone will see this but the client who will still think he is what he picked. The UI also only allows the Grunt player for pickings.

• SSG Crosshair selection code. [By Blaze]

• Trigger_push will now default to no sound. Custom sound is key "noise" with the value being the sound like "sounds/world/wind.wav".

• Better headshot detection. Uses a state-of-the-art spherical hit-detection developed by NASA. I'm actually all for using AQ2-style head hit-detection (a box instead of a spehere) so maybe I'll change it if I can figure out what AQ2 is doing.

• IR Vision in the UI now binds properly

• Fixed the ability to throw all your grenades quickly if you tapped on the +attack quickly enough.

• Laser can now shine through breakable glass. There were no complaints about this, but I noticed it and it bugged me.

• Semi-automatic mk23 now fires faster.

• Thrown knifes now have proper hit-detection rather than only hitting the legs.

• Vertical knife trajectory slightly altered to better fit AQ2. This is more of a hack and not a solution.

• Crouching won't get you stuck in some areas now (like under the steps in tequila).

• UI Main menu now will tell you why you have been kicked (for CVar.cfg stuff). That means no more need to scroll up 3 pages to find it.

• The kevlar won't protect you from knives anymore.

• Damage code fixed so bleeding slows down properly (This means 3 second deaths on sniper stomach shots).

• Bandaging now clears last person who hit you. If you fall after bandaging, no will get a point for it now.

• Weapon sounds play even with cg_drawgun 0. Added or fixed so players could tell when bandaging was done.

• Frag protection won't protect you from being telefragged. This should fix a problem of spawning in someone.

• The animation after throwing your last grenade has been fixed.

• when cg_drawgun is set to 0, all weapon sounds now properly play

1.0 (released: Nov 16th, 2001)

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following section is eLDeR's worklog. He maintained the changelog for RQ3 prior to 1.0. In fact, he basically MADE RQ3 up to the 1.0 version. Not to minimize the efforts of the other coders as they were certainly a big help, but eLDeR is the reason that RQ3 got to version 1.0 at all. We all appreciate the intense amount of work he put into RQ3 from May of 2001 to November of 2001. Thanks, eLDeR, you da man!
