R1GL Changelog

[R1CH]

Better start it some time I guess...

0.1.5.36:

• Fixed detection of ATI video cards and disable gl_ext_pointparameters if found due to driver bugs.


• vid_optimalrefresh, if set, will use highest available refresh rate when in fullscreen. If R1GL detects you are using default refresh rates, it will print a warning to the console.


• If running Q2 at same resolution and color depth as desktop, forcibly inherit desktop refresh rate to avoid mode switching.

[R1CH]

0.1.5.37:

• Reverted forced disabling of gl_ext_pointparameters on ATI hardware, now simply defaults to 0 instead.

[R1CH]

0.1.5.38:

• Hi-res replacements of .pcx files (eg hud icons) are scaled to properly fit the original size that the pcx would take.


• Check chunk sizes of brush models to prevent corrupt models causing crashes.


• Better handling of OpenGL startup failures (Vista compatibility)

[R1CH]

0.1.5.39

• Toggle for the hud icon scaling with pcx / hi res replacements, gl_pic_scale


• Don't try to initialize gl_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic twice.

0.1.5.39r (Win32)

• Rebuild as relocatable DLL.

[R1CH]

0.1.5.40:

• Fixed floating point issues (see R1Q2 changelog for more information)


• Faster TGA loading, no longer support colormap TGA files. Only 32, 24 and 8 bit with/without RLE are supported.


• Slightly faster culling with some optimizations taken from Q3.


• Improved hunk allocation code, should give faster loading times for maps/models.


• No longer apply anisotropic filtering to hud icons.


• gl_linear_mipmaps cvar, attempt to generate higher quality mipmaps by using linear filtering. However, I think they look worse.


• Improve behaviour of changing gl_ext_texture_filter_anisotropic on and off mid-game.

[R1CH]

0.1.5.41:

• Slightly faster particle rendering by avoiding float to int conversions.


• gl_noscrap defaults to 1, fixes the side effect of the scrap not having gamma applied so vid_gamma_pics works as expected.


• gl_dynamic 0 no longer applies dynamic lighting to entities.


• gl_ext_pointparameters is ignored on ATI cards unless set to 2 (forced).


• Fixed a crash when invalid (negative) skinnums were set on entities by buggy mods or delta errors.


• New texture lighting code from JDolan / Quake2World. Disabled by default, control with gl_texture_lighting_mode 1 to enable. New cvars, gl_contrast and gl_saturation to control amount of contrast and saturation. gl_modulate does not apply to textures in this mode, use vid_gamma to control texture brightness. Should result in higher quality textures at higher brightness levels without washing out the colors, at the expense of slightly longer load times.


• gl_modulate defaults to 2.

[R1CH]

(Unreleased) 0.1.5.42:

• Fix crashes caused by truncated .wal files.


• Only apply gl_saturation to world textures.
