> Defrag 1.9 Info
> Well, the Defrag team has been hard at work, targeting a release of Defrag
> 1.9 some time (we hope) in January. We recently added 7 new mappers to the
> team. Coupled with our demo admins and other mappers, the team is now 13
> people strong. And it shows - no less than 9 new maps for our upcoming
> release.
>
> Note that while Defrag 1.9 will not be our "full multiplayer support"
> version (that's Defrag 2.0), we've made a lot of little changes and added
> some new stuff towards that goal. Many of these new features will be very
> useful for creating general trickjumping servers.
>
> When we get closer to an actual release, we'll get a release date posted

> > SINGLE PLAYER AND GENERAL FEATURES:
>
> - Recam/Replay: Full recam scripting engine with ingame editor/debugging.
> Allows scripts to be created and re-used for demo recamming. Supports
> different trigger/activator types, as well as different variable and
camera
> transitions.
> - Ghosts: LiveAmmo - permits the ghost to fire live ammo (if cheats are
> enabled). This allows players to practice certain missile-related MP trix
by
> themselves.
> - Ghosts: Can now monitor/record and playback cvar changes for more robust
> saving of recamming
> - DemoCams: Sequencing - allows automated cam2cam sequencing of cameras,
> transition speeds, and camera modes.
> - DemoCams: Offsetting - allows camera position, angles, and radius
> offsetting (allowing cam rolls, curved cam paths, etc.)
> - DemoCams: auto cg_thirdperson 0/1 switching for ease-of-use, based on
> df_demos_CameraMode selected.
> - DemoCams: Unlocked thirdperson pitch angles
> (df_demos_UnlockThirdpersonPitch) - allows full overhead view
> - Savepos: optionally store velocity (also outputs msg on restore now -
msg
> saved in demo)
> - Offhanded Grappling Hooks (2 styles: q3 and swinging)
> - Overbounce: On/Off option
> - Overbounce: Allow OB detection for all slopes (df_ob_AllSlopes), not
just
> horizontal floors
> - varTransitions: allows users to create transitions on cvars ("cg_fov 90
> 150 100" transitions the cg_fov from 90 to 150 at a speed of 100)
> - varJoin: joins 2 vstrs
> - varCommand: does $ string substitutions, then calls console command
> - KeyMapping: allows high input polling of keyboard binds for smoother
> varMath, etc. inside demos.
> - Crosshair Stats System: user defined combos (example: df_chs1_info1 "23
> 3033 24") with user-defined separator
> - Mapping: Shooter function (shoots missiles - aims at player, with
> prediction option)
> - Demos: Compliance with demos from other mods (compatibility with any mod
> is in no way guarantee)
> - Demos: Cheat detection for demos using the timer
> - Tricks Mode: Added df_ndm_spawnItems to force item spawn
> - Many little tweaks/fixes/etc.
>
> ---------------
> > FIXES/TWEAKS:
>
> - Miniview: now can be on even with different df_demos_CameraMode's on
> - Miniview: new draw options: 1 = On for ghost, 2 = on for ghost and
demos,
> 3 = on for demos only, 4 = always on (1P/3P switching style), 5 = always
on,
> 1st Person, 6 = always on, 3rd Person
> - DemoCams: cam2cam transitions now work when cl_avidemo is on (fixed
timing
> issues)
> - Savepos: tweaked savepos/placeplayer code to kill velocity - so OBs work
> repeatedly now
> - varHelpers: $ string substitution for varMath, varCycle, varJoin,
> varTransitions - does an inline vstr value replacement (uses value stored
in
> string). Replaces varValueMath, varValueCycle, etc. functions
> - varMath: added % operator
> - varMath: does string math (+ or =) if old or new values are strings
> - CHS: Added AccelMeter stat - single start speed info item
> - CHS: Added date and time YYYYMMDD and HHMMSS crosshair stats info items
> - CHS: Access to CHS info items through $chinfo/chinfonum string
> substitution
> - Many other small fixes and tweaks
