Discussion: Improving ProQuake Server

[Baker]

re: Don't allow repeated connect spamming


I made pq_connectmute <seconds> cvar for mine.

I had to adjust yours just a little, works fine. I defaulted it to 3 (seconds) for dedicated server (0 seconds if not, for single player, etc.). If 3 seconds isn't long enough it can be raised by the server operator.

// R00k - dont allow new connecting players to spam obscenities...
if (pq_connectmute.value && (net_time - host_client->netconnection->connecttime) < pq_connectmute.value)
return;

Quake is split into 2 parts already, why not split it a 3rd time?

QuakeEngine, QuakeGUE and QuakeC.

QuakeEngine: This is where most of the changes Baker wants standardized would go.

QuakeGUE: Or, Quake Graphical User Environment. This is where you mod the way the Quake looks. Adding new rendering tech, all the bells and whistles.

QuakeC: Where you make mods that work with all of the above.

s/QuakeGUE/CSQC, but I'll let someone else explain that to you...

And yes, Baker, it was probably me who told you about that lightning gun bug. Do you ever get online to talk, these days?

i like how warsow has completely script able hud
would be nice if quake had this too

I probably should :d

can we get a packet loss indicator for the proquake server? Right now the only way to check packet loss is to type net_stats and see how many dropped datagrams one has.

Higher quality sounds. Or wait, is that just for Quake in general? :d

Ok, I'll keep on waiting. It's not a good idea?

In cases where we have multiple monitors, could it be possible to stop the unused monitor from flashing colors?

aguirRe has some sort of chase cam improvement that can probably be adapted to ProQuake server that would make it less likely for a chase cam to poke into a wall. Would be interesting to try this server-side and see how it works.
