- BuildRequre sdl2 stuff via pkgconfig(*).
* Sun May 29 2022 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 8.10
* The OpenGL 3.2 renderer now supports the classic underwater
effect. Until now it was only available in the Software
renderer.
* Add 'ref_gles3', an OpenGL ES 3.0 renderer lib. This is an
variant of the OpenGL 3.2 renderer, using OpenGL ES instead of
desktop OpenGL. It greatly enhances support for embedded GPUs
like the RaspberryPI 4.
* The Software renderer now supports colored lightning. It can
be enabled through `sw_colorlight`.
* Another round of timing fixes. Implement `cl_maxfps -1` (the
new default, existing configs are not altered) to
automatically select a known to be good packet framerate
depending on the current renderer framerate. This solves some
subtile problems with stuttering entities.
* Greatly improved support for joysticks and controllers. Devices
can now be hotplugged at runtime, binding should be portable
between differend controllers and there's a new menu for
controller bindings.
* Add the `r_2D_unfiltered` and `r_videos_unfiltered` cvars. When
enabled 2D elements like the HUD and videos are not filtered,
they appear pixeled.
* Add 'prefweap' command to select weapon by priority.
* Several game code fixes, mostly for stuck mechanics in fact2.
* Fix two stuck monsters in hangar1 and jail5.
* Fix the `viewsize` cvar.
* Sun Jan 23 2022 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 8.01
* Fix the game not starting when nonexistent dirs in the search
path.
- Sync haptic joystick effects to the sound.
- Move several map bug fixes to entity files, add some more map
bug fixes. Without entity files the maps are the same as in
Vanilla Quake II.
- Play the correct demo loop after changing the current mod.
- `g_footsteps 2` now only generate footstep sound when the
player is on the ground entity and no longer when in water or
air.
- Add a cvar `g_machinegun_norecoil' which disables the
machinegun recoil effect. This is cheat protected.
- Scale 8 bit textures when `r_scale8bittextures` is set.
- The game is no longer limited to 1000 FPS when running in
timedemo mode.
- Optimise command line parser and fix several subtle bugs.
- Add `r_2D_unfiltered`, when set to `1` 2D elements aren't
filtered.
- Fix soldiers never chowing their pain skin as long as they're
alive.
- Fix relative paths in ZIP files not being found.
- Add `gamemode` command for changing between singleplayer,
deathmach and coop.
- Show a download progress bar when `cl_http_show_dw_progress`
is set to `1`.
Version: 8.00-bp154.1.76
* Sun Aug 22 2021 Imo Hester <vortex@z-ray.de>
- patched systemwide support (systemwide.patch)
* Mon Jun 14 2021 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 8.00
* Client side support for the optional Vulkan renderer library.
* Non existent renderer libraries are now skipped over by the
menu.
* Fix several bugs when loading autosaves.
* Bump the maximal number of OGG/Vorbis files to 128.
* Several fixes to the Barracuda Shark.
* 'vid_fullscreen' and 'r_mode' are no longer special, they
require an explicit 'vid_restart' like every other cvar.
* Remove hardcoded map fixes and replace them by optional entity
files. Add several newly discovered map fixes.
* Send the network protocol version to the server. This can be
used by the server to support clients with different network
protocol version.
* Switch the semantics of the 'vid_fullscreen' cvar. '1' is now
native fullscreen, like it was in Vanilla Quake II. '2' is
desktop fullscreen. When desktop fullscreen is selected through
the menu, 'r_mode' is forced to '-2'.
* Add 'g_footsteps' to control the generation of footstep sound.
This cvar is cheat protected. '1' is Vanilla Quake II behavior
and the default. '0' never generates footstep sound, '2' always
generates them.
* Support stereo wave files.
* Add 'cl_r1q2_lighstyle'. When set to '1' Yamagi Quake II uses
the Vanilla Quake II light styles (for example yellow light for
the Hyperblaster) instead of the default r1q2 light styles.
* Add a submenu to configure gamepad and joystick sensitivities.
* Ensure that the config file is written before changing the
active mod. This prevents config changes from getting lost.
* Overhaul the search path logic. Make sure that each directory
is added only once.
* Sun Feb 28 2021 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 7.45:
* Fix some input option not getting saved.
* Limit busywaits to the full client. This lowers the cpu consumption of
q2ded considerably.
* Rework the build system to be more distribution friendly.
* Fix some corner cases of broken IPv6 connectivity.
* Fix qport colliding between several Yamagi Quake II clients.
* Keyboard keys unknown to Yamagi Quake II can now be bound.
* Adaptive vsync is now supported by setting r_vsync to 1.
* Implement coop_pickup_weapons. When set to 1, a weapon may be picked up by
coop players if the player doesn`t have the weapon in their inventory or no
other player has already picked it up.
* In coop elevators wait for coop_elevator_delay seconds.
* If cl_anglekick is set 1 angle kicks are ignored. This breaks the gameplay
a little bit, but helps against motion sickness. This cvar is cheat
protected.
* Add listmaps command and autocompletion for maps. (by JBerg)
* Make wait in scripts wait for 17 ms. This fixes some movement makros.
* Support for Haiku. (by David Carlier)
* Add a mods submenu. (by earth-metal)

- Drop legacy ifdefs
Version: 7.43-bp152.1.10
* Wed Feb 26 2020 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 7.43
* Recover from a lost sound device, do not crash of no sound
device is available. This fixes several problem with
DisplayPort and HDMI audio.
* Several small game logic fixes. This includes a fix for a
potential progress blocker in 'The Torture Chambers' introduced
in the last release.
* Add the 'gl1_particle_square' cvar, it forces square particles
in the GL1 renderer.
* The software renderer is no longer experimental.
* Add an option to configure the gun Z offset in the software
renderer.
* Sun Dec 01 2019 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 7.42
* The console can now be scrolled with the mouse wheel.
* Fix entities on non-horizontal surfaces rendered in full black.
* Add an option to choose the display Quake II runs on.
* Add an option to specify the display refresh rate used in
fullscreen.
* Allow mouse 'sensitivity' to be set to non-integral values.
* Port cvar operations from q2pro. These allow the manipulation of
cvar values, supported are: dec, inc, reset, resetall and toggle
* Put the client into pause mode during savegame load. This
prevents the world getting forwarded about 100 frames during
load, time in which the player might be hurt by monsters or the
environment.
* New commands:
+ 'listentities' allows listing of entities.
+ 'teleport' teleports the player to the given coordinates.
* Fix loading of config files not ending in newlines.
* A lot of fixes for subtle, long standing AI and game play bugs.
* Quicksaves can now be loaded and saved throught the savegame
menus.
* The software renderer now skips frames with no changes. This
improves performance quite a bit, especially on slow CPUs.
* Sun May 26 2019 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 7.41
* Some bugfixes to HTTP downloads introduced in 7.40.
* Fix several crashes when loading savegames in coop.
* Fix some out of memory aborts when loading maps with a lot
surfaces.
* Allow autodetection of the desktop resolution. Set 'r_mode' to
'-2' to enable that.
* Several fixes to the OpenGL 3.2 renderer. Some dynamic lights
were missing, for example for most explosions. Stencil shadows
were broken under some conditions. Intel Ivy Bridge didn't work.
Under some conditions lights were too bright.
* Add an optional fix for lighting problems in maps that misuse
sky surfaces for interior lighting. Set 'gl_fixsurfsky' to '1'
to enable it.
* Another bunch of timing fixes. The game should now hold the
framerate under all conditions.
Version: 7.40-bp151.1.7
* Thu Feb 07 2019 mardnh@gmx.de
- Update to version 7.40
* Add support for HTTP downloads. Both the r1q2 and q2pro URL schemes
are supported, if a file is unavailable over HTTP the download code
falls back to UDP.
* Savegames can be removed through the menu by pressing 'del' on the
selected savegame.
* Support external entity files.
* Some fixes to OGG/Vorbis music playback. The music keeps playing after
s_restart and ogg_shuffle is handled correctly by the menu.
* Another round of timing fixes. Average frame times are now taken into
account when taking an educated guess on the next frames render time.
And the display refresh rate detection no longer cripple working GPU
drivers in an efford to work around bugs in older version of AMDs.
* A lot of fixes to the internal memory management. The game is now
much more memory efficient, this allows playing of extremly big maps
without crashes. This is largly based upon work done by Denis Pauk.
* New and much more detailed documentation.
* Enhancements to the software renderer. Retexturing packs are now
supported, general cleanup and bugfixes.
* Tue Oct 02 2018 mardnh@gmx.de
- Update to version 7.30
+ Removed support for SDL 1.2.
+ Removed static dependencies to libogg, libvorbis and libz.
+ Fixed several bugs regarding render- and fullscreen switch.
+ A lot of fixes and improvements to the software renderer. It's now
able to render the whole game without artifacts and much faster than
before.
* Sat Jul 14 2018 mardnh@gmx.de
- Update to version 7.21
+ Fix some render glitches in the software renderer. (by Denis Pauk)
+ Render the weapon independent of the current field of view, otherwise
the weapon distorts with very high FOV settings. The weapons FOV can
be set through r_gunfov, it defaults to 90.
+ Rework the OGG/Vorbis backend. This fixes several annoying bugs, and
adds support for alternative track <=> file mappings. Use this to
implement support for the audio tracks supplied by the GOG.com version
of Quake II.
Version: 7.20-bp150.2.4
* Sun Mar 11 2018 mardnh@gmx.de
- Update to version 7.20
+ Add the soft renderer back. This feature is considered experimental.
The porting of the old soft renderer code to SDL and it's cleanup
were done by Denis Pauk.
+ Rename several cvars to be consistent across different renderers.
The configuration file will be converted at the first start, when an
old cvar name is used a message is printed.
+ Make the client unicode compatible. Yamagi Quake II can now be
installed into pathes with unicode characters in it. On Windows the
user name of the current account may contain unicode characters.
As a side effect the game can run on ReFS volumes. While '+set
basedir' is still supported, the unicode compatible '-datadir'
should be used.
+ Another round of timing fixes. The game is now capable of holding
the requestes or vsync framerate even on slow machines and with
problematic GL drivers.
+ Fix server side mod handling, their configs are now saved to the
correct directories and the configs are reexeced at mod startup.
* Sun Dec 10 2017 mardnh@gmx.de
- Update to version 7.10
+ Joystick support including haptic feedback. This fantastic work was
done by Denis Pauk. The dirty work is done by SDL, how good or bad
a joystick or gamepad is supported depends on SDLs support for it.
+ Fix the old SDL sound backend, s_openal set to 0 is working again.
+ Fix possible Vorbis buffer underruns if too many sound samples are
in flight. This occured only in large multi player games with at
least 6 custom models.
+ Fix a possible crash on Windows if MSAA was set to a value not
supported by the driver.
+ It's now possible to play through the whole game on a Raspberry PI
and other ARM boards. Please note that the RPIs hardware is really
limited. Only the OpenGL 1.4 renderer is supported and the framerate
is highly dependend on the screen resolution.
* Sun Oct 01 2017 mardnh@gmx.de
- Update to version 7.0.2
+ Fix several corner cases regarding render library loading. The game
should now always fall back to the OpenGL 1.4 renderer if the new
OpenGL 3.2 renderer can't be initialized. Also the game aborts if no
useable OpenGL implementation exists.
+ Refactor the search path code. This should fix several bugs with
Quake II writing to the wrong directories or being unable to find
some / all assets.
+ Reimplement portable binaries. If called with the -portable command
line option Quake II saves all data (configs, savegames, screenshorts
etc.) into it's systemwide installation directory and not users home
directory. In contrast to the old implementation on Windows stdout.txt
contains all output, the first lines are no longer missing.
+ vid_fullscreen set to 1 now keeps the desktops resolution. Set it to 2
to change the resolution.
+ Instead of a list with precalculated FOV values the video menu now
shows a slider with possible values from 60 to 120. Horplus is now
always enabled, set the horplus cvar to 0 to disable it.
+ The game is now able to hold the requested framerate (either by the
vsync or the gl_maxfps cvar) with an accuracy of about +/- 1% as long
as the hardware is fast enough. The framecounter was reimplemented
to be much more precise.
+ Fix misspredictions if an original client running on Win32 connects
to a Yamagi Quake II server running on Linux/i386.
- Remove patch:
+ yamagi-quake2-fix-OpenGL-linking.diff (fixed upstream)

- fix reproducible builds again
* Fri Jun 09 2017 mardnh@gmx.de
- Update to version 7.0.0
+ Remove the broken multitexturing render path from the OpenGL 1.4
renderer. It was switched off by default in 6.00.
+ Reimplement the support for shared renderer libraries. Please note
the this is an incompatible implementation with an custom API. The
original renderer libraries will not work!
+ Implement an OpenGL 3.2 renderer. This renderer has the same look
and feel as the old OpenGL 1.4 renderer but makes heavy use of
modern OpenGL and GPU features. An OpenGL 3.2 capable GPU (Intel
starting with Ivy Bridge on Windows or Sandy Bridge on Linux, Nvidia
staring with G80 and AMD starting with R600 / HD2000) is required.
+ Fix OpenAL compatibility with modern openal-soft versions.
+ Several fixes and optimizations to OpenAL, implement support for
doppler effects. (by xorw)
- Add patch:
+ yamagi-quake2-fix-OpenGL-linking.diff

* Fri Dec 16 2016 luke.nukem.jones@gmail.com
Update to version 6.00
- Make the client asynchronous. The old behaviour can be forced by
setting cl_async to 0. Please note that asynchronicity can lead
to problems if the old SDL 1.2 backend is used and vsync is
enabled.
- Implement gl_overbrightbits in the non multitexturing case. A
value of 1 just fixes lighting on water surfaces, higher values
increase the brightness of everything.
- General renderer overhaul for better compatibility with modern GPU
OpenGL 1.4 is now required, older versions are no longer supported.
Multitexturing was deprecated and will be removed in a future
release.
