Build 11: Done list

[jitspoe]

Done:
- XP mouse acceleration fix
- Stopped overflows from disconnecting clients (paintball2.exe servers only).
- Fixed a crash with the serverlist update.
- gl_showtris works with multitexture enabled (deathmatch 0 only).
- rscripts now work properly with hr4 textures.
- You can specify "requiredfiles" in a maps worldspawn to force the client to download certain files (such as rscripts) -- requires 1.80 server.

Almost done:
- some basic caustics
- Encoded messages for item pickups.  Reduces bandwidth to like 1/20th that of printing out, "You picked up a ..."  Also, instead of simply printing it out like that again, I made the item pickups scroll up on the bottom of the screen and fade out:

wow that looks sick jit gj cant wait to check it out

do u think u could add a new maplist to the game soo that when u start a server affter u r finished with the first map that it will goto somthin else besides midnight or have a way u can make ure own maplist

[jitspoe]

There's always been a way to make your own maplist.  Set the rot_file in your server config, or just edit pball/configs/rotation.txt.

2 much work there should jsut be another window that u can just click on dif maps u want and the other window will fill up soo u wilil make a maplist liek that

[FourthX]

beaver, all the menus are done through simple text files, why not make it yourself?

Jit, the caustics look nice and required files makes me smile now I can start scripting for woodsedge

[beaver]

how do i make it myself

[Excalibur]

hey fourthx maybe you should not use the word "simple" when talking to some guys cause some guys are well tech challanged (like me).

[FourthX]

simple is a relative term, the menu scripting language that jit did is simple compared to say writing a giant interface in xml

[Excalibur]

ok yea true good point. when you compare it to that its simple but when you compare it to i dont know poping a cd in and clicking install its hard

[FourthX]

that would be considered 'trivial'

[Excalibur]

lol ok ok you win

*waits for release*

[Eiii]

*waits for release after spending 26 hours in three different airports, to get back from france, just getting home, expecting it to be out.*

[Excalibur]

is build 11 gonna have a map voter on it?

[jitspoe]

That's the plan.

[Eiii]

could you give us an estamate time of relase?

[jitspoe]

Hard to say as there's a lot going on right now -- getting a job, finding a place to live, etc.  I'm doing a bunch of things to reduce the bandwidth used, and it's kind of an all or nothing deal.  I have to get all the different events and messages handled properly on the client and the server.  I have the item pickups working, but I have to handle stuff like flag grabs, eliminations, etc. as well as update all the player scores so I can have a client-side scoreboard.
