SVN client and server backports
Latest version: SVN931 version 4
Thanks to vcxzet's backporting efforts, players can have access to the bugfixes in the SVN client and server. I've added a few additonal tweaks.
http://risujin.org/tremulous#backport
Changes in version 4:
-- Modified the client to work with TJW and SVN server HTTP download redirection

placing ui files in the vms pk3 may help

Does this rewrite the qkey (GUID)

Does this rewrite the qkey (GUID)
I guess I didn't quite phrase it right ... it's essentially "TJW's client", so no, it doesn't overwrite your guid and functions in the same way.
-
Does this rewrite the qkey (GUID)
on windows yes since it uses application data rather than local settings/application data

OK.. figured it out I think... It used the qkey file in the application directoory not the one in application data directory.. Erm... Thats what vcxvet just said, I think.
Thanks

It seems that this might have broken ALT+TAB
the /win_allowAltTab 1
does not work anymore

Someone in SVN is dinking around with alt-tab...

INCOMPATIBLE Game QVMs
-- Balance mod revisions 11-16 (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2548)
-- Risujin/Avenger QVM (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3014)
Balance Mod revision 17 and the next version of Avenger/Risujin Game QVM will be backported, until then please wait on grabbing the backported tremded.

nope, tjw isn't commiting that patch to svn because it doesn't work with many video drivers on windows.

o.O.. client download via www. is needed

Yes it was missing in version 1, but version 2 works ... tested in Linux and Windows.

em...
does it work only for svn895-server-backport-2., the server side file you attached? My clan server is using tjw s one + your risujin/avenger game.qvm
and the download would only fetch the file via tremulous/base but not the url o.o

They may actually be incompatible... :(
Try setting sv_dlURL on the server.

oh my god ... it works perfectly well ...>o<
b4 that i just set the sv_wwwBaseURL ...

Good to know they are compatible at least. TJW changed the cvar name for some reason...

Ris, I compiled it on mac, and it behaved oddly, until I got your pk3s from the linux download, and dropped them, along with the 1.1.0 pk3s, in the base folder of my new compilation. Now it seems to work perfectly, except I can't see the text of the Game field. I know it works, because if I click on it all balance servers go to the top and tremx to the bottom, but I can't actually see the contents thereof. Just a blank column.
note: I wiped the contents of my tremulous folder shortly before doing this (not because of it, it was just too damn cluttered) so this is a "clean" install.
This bug may be partially because I seem to have used the version 1 patch and version 2 pk3s. I'll look into it tomorrow.
Also I seem to have overdosed on commas, but it's late so I cba to fix it.
-
Ris, I compiled it on mac
Thanks for giving it a try. You definitely want to use the version 2 patch and the version 2 pk3s, I believe the menu files are not compatible between the two.
Being able to see the Game field means you are running the right .menu files (from the additional data pk3), seeing it filled correctly and being able to sort by it means you are running the right client code (which in your case I'm guessing is the issue).
If you can get it working correctly, could you provide Mac binaries?
-
Right, I recompiled with the correct patch this time and ran ./make-macosx-ub.sh instead of just make from the source folder. I seem to have three working binaries which all play properly (although oddly I didn't get a ppc tremded), but I'm new to this so if you could get more testers that'd be a very good idea.
I'm hosting the contents of my build folder, along with the two pk3 files, at:
http://www.bandstand.org.uk/~benm/trem/
edit: although all the files are there, I can't see any easy way of downloading whole folders from the server (if you can, then by all means go ahead). I've got the .app zipped here, along with the libSDL-1.2.0 that I seem to have left in there by accident, and the two pk3s to go in base. The x86 and ppc executables are there but not zipped because there are a few things I'd like to understand about them first.
http://www.bandstand.org.uk/~benm/trem/universal-binary.zip - all you need
EDIT - after reading this thread (http://www.tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3416&highlight=dual+core), I compiled this:
http://www.bandstand.org.uk/~benm/trem/universal-binary-smp.zip
Now with symmetric multiprocessing! /r_smp 1 in the console ought to do the trick, followed by /vid_restart. Won't make any difference unless you're on a dual-core processor and you probably won't notice anyway, as I hear that tjw's build had it enabled by default.
I'm still not sure that this will work for everyone, and I'll work on creating more convenient zips or dmgs later. Maybe. Check the directory listing (the first link all the way up there ^^), that's where they'll end up.
Most people will just want to go for the Tremulous.app in release-darwin-ub, but I included the other two versions as well because you can run them from the terminal, which has a number of advantages.

Released version 3. There are minor changes inherited from SVN in the client. Biggest change is the server, which now supports Foobar's sv_pureDropMsg.

A bug? existing. The end game score list doesn't shows the player info. if players press 'tab'
When the game ends,
B4 pressing 'tab' (http://hsp.hk/kyoko/pics/shot0001.jpg)
While and after pressing it (http://hsp.hk/kyoko/pics/shot0002.jpg)

So this update is just to the latest svn?
It's recompiled, at http://www.bandstand.org.uk/~benm/trem/client-svn911-ub-smp-3.zip
-
Why isn't there a windows version of the latest svn?? :cry: :cry:
-

I wanted mostly to update the server. I added the pure drop message so that modded servers will stand a chance of giving unpure players a helpful message before disconnecting them.

I can't reproduce this bug. I've tested the new server with 1.1.0 base, SVN backport base, and domination. Remember, this server doesn't run balance.

Just uploaded it now.

Thanks :D

Hi,
When I use Risujin's backport, from backport-svn931-4-win32.zip, and I try to join some servers, it lets me in, but when I try to spawn, it gives an error box saying that I "can't build on this surface"... ? Which is strange. I can use the .exe file by itself, and delete the vms and data .pk3s for the backport, then it works... Help?

I'm guessing that server is impure. So you're trying to use the pk3s that work with the client, but not with the server. You're also joining a server that makes absolutely no attempt to stop cheaters.
You can still use the console (and binds) to play as normal but the menu system will be totally ruined. The only fix is, as you've discovered, to remove the pk3s.

If you're feeling brave you can try opening up the PK3 (a simple zip file) and deleting vm/cgame.vm only. That might allow you to play normally and keep the new menus.

How do I install? :eek: sorry about the question, please and thanks

This is the current state of affairs at SST, unfortunately.

For Windows: place the EXE in your tremulous folder (do not overwrite the old one! rename the new one) and run it. The PK3s go in tremulous\base.
For Linux: you can put the executable anywhere. The PK3s go into ~/.tremulous/base. Run the executable.

I built tremulous svn revision 931 with your patch but the "Game" field in the server browser doesn't appear.

You probably need a qvm for that.

The "Game" field needs a custom menu file in the PK3 I distribute on my website:

Ok I've just added the two pk3 files and now it works. Many thanks

This client breaks my scroll wheel on. Also, does this have Wireddd patch that adds if, concat, and math to the possible things you can bind?
I love search by mod.
-
No, this is a pure backport.
(Hello, isn't this backport a bit old?)

I'll be adding this when I get some time.
No, this is a pure backport.
Actually, no it isn't. There are some very minor changes, such as the "game" field.
(Hello, isn't this backport a bit old?)
Erk. Yes, I have a good number of things to add too.
