Spearmint 1.0.3

Spearmint 1.0.3 fixes a couple issues in Team Arena and a few other obscure issues. Download it at https://clover.moe/spearmint.

The Team Arena non-functional settings issue is important (though it was unnoticed since I broke it in 2014). I think the rest of the issues are kind of obscure to run into. It's not urgent to update dedicated servers since the only change is the server full message.

Changes

Engine (spearmint)

Server

• Fix local human player not being able to join server full of bots (possible with Team Arena start server menu). Reported by Tobias Kuehnhammer, probably.
• Display "Server is full." message (like original Quake 3) to network players instead of "Couldn't add local player 1, no free player slots!".

Client

• Fix crash when r_flares cvar is 2 or 3 in Team Arena Single Player Tournament menu. Reported by Tobias Kuehnhammer.
• Fix shader sort value for unknown keyword. (Fixes Unholy Sanctuary "us_intro" map.) Reported by Tobias Kuehnhammer.

Game Logic (mint-arena)

UI

• Fix not being able to change engine latch cvars (sv_maxclients, r_mode, and several other rendering settings) in Team Arena menu. Reported by Tobias Kuehnhammer.
• Fix player effects color on player models with rgbGen entity for local player 2, 3, and 4 in Q3 menu. Reported by ZaRR.
• Fix compiling Team Arena with q3_ui. Reported by retro8x.

Spearmint 1.0.2

Spearmint 1.0.2 fixes IQM player models, using TrueType console font, and some other issues. Download it at https://clover.moe/spearmint.

There are a few bug fixes for things could be used by server game mods (listed under common) but none are used by Spearmint Quake 3 / Team Arena servers.

Changes

Engine (spearmint)

Common

• Fix filename tab-completion without a specified directory. It affected music, play, and testmodel commands.
• Fix IQM with no frames crashing R_ModelBounds(). It happened with IQM player head models.

Client

• Add workaround for client error when using HTTP download. Reported by mecwerks.
• Fix rendering IQM models between model frames.
• OpenGL2: Fix cg_fadeExplosions when r_dlightMode is enabled.
• OpenGL2: Fix DDS loading when GL_EXT_direct_state_access is supported.
• Fix game resolution when compiled against macOS 10.15 SDK (by Ryan C. Gordon and patch by Tom Kidd).

Game Logic (mint-arena)

Common

• Fix QVM printf %g trailing zero removal.

CGame

• Change console to use "LiberationMono-Regular.ttf" TrueType font included with Spearmint 1.0.0. Previously the "LiberationMono-Bold.ttf" font was not found and the console would fallback to using the original Quake 3 bitmap console font.
• Fix third person lightning bolt when missing Lightning Gun weapon model.
• Fix lightning bolt being fired from corpses. Corpses didn't have a weapon model and checked the living player to see if lightning bolt should be drawn. Reported by ZaRR.

UI

• Fix keyboard selection order for "joystick analog" option in Quake 3 controls menu.
• Fix Quake 3 team orders menu not listing bots that joined before you.

Spearmint 1.0.1

Spearmint 1.0.1 fixes a few minor issues.

Server

spearmint-1.0.1-data.tar.xz only includes the docs and pk3s; for when you're going to compile the engine yourself.

Spearmint 1.0.0

Spearmint 1.0.0 has many minor attention-to-detail improvements. The most interesting changes being:

• Console command argument auto completion for model and headmodel and 25 other commands.
• Random bots added in Quake III: Team Arena team gametypes using bot_minplayers or addbot random use Team Arena's characters instead of Quake 3's bots.
• Bug fixes and performance improvements for IQM models.

See https://clover.moe/spearmint for downloads.

Spearmint 1.0.0 is not backward compatible with previous network protocol or VMs. If you extract this over a previous version, you need to manually remove spearmint-patch-0.x.pk3 files from the baseq3 and missionpack directories. (New files are named to spearmint-baseq3-1.0.0.pk3 and spearmint-missionpack-1.0.0.pk3.)

The version 1.0.0 is major, minor, patch. 0.6 and earlier should of had a ".0" at the end for patch version.

Known issue; macOS 10.6+ only execute mouse wheel control binds if wheel is turned multiple notches (SDL 2.0.8 bug).

macOS 10.5 / PPC lost support for gamecontrollerdb.txt (requires SDL 2.0.2). macOS PPC build was downgraded from SDL 2.0.3 to SDL 2.0.1 (the last SDL version to officially support macOS PPC). macOS 10.5 now runs the PPC build via Rosette (SDL 2.0.5 dropped macOS 10.5 support).

Future

This release marks the end of 10 years of Spearmint development. There may be updates to fix issues that are reported (and the macOS mouse wheel) but I'm not planning to continue general devil-op-mint.

Changes

Lines beginning with “ioq3:” were also fixed in ioquake3.

CGame VM

• Move map restart FIGHT message higher in non-splitscreen to match the original Quake 3 behavior (reported by ZaRR).
• Add command argument auto completion for callteamvote, callvote, follow, give, headmodel, model, team, team_headmodel, team_model, teamvote, tell, testgun, testmodel, and vote. Team Arena exclusive: vosay, vosay_team, votell, vsay, vsay_team, vtell, vtell_attacker, and vtell_target.
• Increase tell_target and tell_attacker commands' message size from 120 to 150 (max for regular tell command)
• Use fractional digits in cg_fov and cg_weaponFov cvars.
• Fix dedicated console with third party transparent console background drawing over the previous frame (ghosting looking effect).
• Quake 3: Replace control menu's reset cvar to get it's default hack with new system call trap_Cvar_DefaultVariableStringBuffer().
• Quake 3: Make single player tiers "X arenas ignored to make count divisible by 4" console message be developer only.
• Team Arena: Add "Random" bot to start server and in-game menus.
• Team Arena: Fix clearing control bind in menu only affecting the displayed menu and not the actually binds.
• Team Arena: Make scrolling in-game spectator list be smoother (broke in Spearmint 0.5).

• ioq3: Fix dedicated camera followers (team follow1/team follow2) displaying "Connection Interrupted" when there are no players to follow.
• ioq3: Improve logic for finding Team Arena obelisk entities (reported by Thomas Köppe).

Engine

• Separate left and right ALT, CTRL, SHIFT, WINDOWS, and COMMAND keys (with support for the original "bind SHIFT +speed" to affect both LEFTSHIFT and RIGHTSHIFT keys). Though this does break moving Spearmint binds config to vanilla Quake 3 or ioquake3.

Spearmint 0.6

Spearmint 0.6 adds InstaGib mode, MP3 support, customize-able console font size, and fixes a Windows remote code execution exploit. See https://clover.moe/spearmint for downloads.

Reminder: The Spearmint website has moved from spearmint.pw to clover.moe/spearmint.

Spearmint 0.6 is released on the 6 year anniversary of Turtle Arena 0.6 (April 13 2012) — the first of my Friday the 13th release dates. 666 book-ended by Friday the 13ths with the main Turtle Arena development occurring in the proceeding 42 months. This the final 0.x release and end of the Friday the 13th release date targets. The next release will be 1.0 on October 10 2018; the 10 year anniversary of Spearmint/Turtle Arena development.

Spearmint 0.6 is backward compatible with Spearmint 0.5 network protocol and VMs.

There was an exploit for remote code execution on Windows clients with downloads enabled or manually installing a pk3 containing a malicious vm/mint-cgame.qvm (quake virtual machine byte-code). CGame QVM could write a file named "mint-cgamex86.dll." and Windows API would silently drop the trailing period. Then the CGame QVM could run the commands "vm_cgame 0; vid_restart;" to run the mint-cgamex86.dll it wrote. Enabling downloads is not recommended as QVMs are still insecure. The exploit was reported to The ioquake3 Group by Chomenor.

Lines beginning with "ioq3:" were also fixed in ioquake3.

Engine

• Add MP3 playback support using libmad and Thilo Schulz's mp3 patch for ioquake3.
• Allow loading unzipped .txt files when connected to a pure server. (Reported by mecwerks)

Spearmint 0.5

Spearmint 0.5 focused on text quality, multi-game support, and improving the user experience.

Spearmint 0.5 uses Liberation Sans/Mono TrueType fonts by default as a replacement for Quake 3’s gfx/2d/bigchars.tga and Team Arena’s fonts. The HUD fonts have a black outline for improved visibility. Work on this started in 2011. See the readme on the Spearmint website for font configuration documentation.

Spearmint 0.5 introduces support for playing the demo versions of Quake 3 and Team Arena and OpenArena 0.8.8 (without the additional game modes).

Spearmint 0.5 is not backward compatible with Spearmint 0.4 VMs. The network protocol number was changed from 10 to 11 in order to separate Spearmint 0.5 game servers from previous Spearmint versions.

Spearmint 0.2

Spearmint 0.2 adds new features for mods, primarily from Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Spearmint now has all of the renderer features needed to create RTCW and ET game ports. There are a few minor renderer features that need to be added in the future for more accurate ports. There are features that need to be added in other areas (primarily sound and bot systems) before the games will be fully supported.

Spearmint 0.2 is not backward compatible with Spearmint 0.1 VMs or renderers. The network protocol number was changed from 3 to 4 in order to separate Spearmint 0.2 game servers from 0.1. Compared to 0.1, 0.2 contains all the 0.1.1 improves which are not listed here.

Added support for

• per-font black outline width and force auto hint options for TrueType / OpenType fonts.
• specifying wall mark poly sort order for World of Padman's spray logos.
• controlling MDS and MDM model torso axis and frame for RTCW / ET player models.
• custom dlight shaders, used by RTCW.
• ET dynamic lights (level is lit using vertex light instead of using an image).
• ET global directed light (lightning).
• real-time "junior" dynamic lights that effect dynamically lit models but not the level.
• making non-world model using world dynamic light, for ET HUD head. (RF_LIGHTING_GRID)
• controlling alphaGen normalZFade and negative frequency waveform using vec3_t fireRiseDir like RTCW.
• finding multiple model tags with the same name by specifying the start index to look for name and getting the lerped tag index back, for RTCW.
• checking if a model tag exists without having to store the tag info (e.g., pass NULL for tag).
