MODDING IMPROVEMENTS

The following changes apply to users who may be developing add-ons that work on the PC version of Quake

Added the pr_checkextension cvar and checkextension ("QUAKE_EX") function in QuakeC to detect if the mod is running under the updated Quake client

Added the cl_nocsqc cvar (it is permanently set to 1 to indicate to modders that CSQC is not supported)

Removed the -heapsize command line parameter. It is no longer used in favor of a dynamically sized heap

Added FL_NO_BOTS edict flag (Instructs bots to ignore specified object(s) in QuakeC)

Added a QuakeC built-in for playing a sound on a client: void localsound( entity client, string sample ) = #80;

Added the following QuakeC built-in functions for drawing debug shapes on clients (these are intended to help mod authors visually debug logic in 3D space):

void draw_point( vector point, float colormap, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #81;

void draw_line( vector start, vector end, float colormap, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #82;

void draw_arrow( vector start, vector end, float colormap, float size, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #83;

void draw_ray( vector start, vector direction, float length, float colormap, float size, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #84;

void draw_circle( vector origin, float radius, float colormap, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #85;

void draw_bounds( vector min, vector max, float colormap, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #86;

void draw_worldtext( string s, vector origin, float size, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #87;

void draw_sphere( vector origin, float radius, float colormap, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #88;

void draw_cylinder( vector origin, float halfHeight, float radius, float colormap, float lifetime, float depthtest ) = #89;

Added logic that resets AI state to neutral when activating the bot navigation editor

Added bot nav editor fullbright toggle key bind to F2

Added "CheckForFloor" flag to nav nodes (this can be used for drawbridges, floor traps, etc.)

Added "CheckForSolid" flag to nav nodes (this can be used for crushers, traps, movable walls, etc.)

Added ability to place nav nodes in shallow lava

Added the following cvars to change nav editor window positions:

nav_properties_xpos

nav_properties_ypos

nav_legend_xpos

nav_legend_ypos

Added navEdit_defaultNodeRadius to set preferred default nav node radius Added ability to lock node height in place when moving nodes around Added navEdit_defaultNodeRadius to set preferred default nav node radius Added navEdit_waterLookPointDist to control how far away nodes will be placed in front of player when in water

MODDING FIXES

Fixed an issue in which the save command was appending an "s" to the beginning of filenames, resolving auto-save in mods like “Copper”

Fixed Alpha not being applied to brush models

Restored original behavior of centerprint, sprint, and bprint built-ins to fix issues with mods expecting arguments to concatenate instead of a string format
