After another long wait (sorry, exams & all), we give you the next release of Tremfusion!

Here are all the new features in Tremfusion 0.99r2:

Multiprocessor support on Windows, Linux and Mac. It is disabled by default, so you have to go enable it in the options menu (GFX Hardware section).
All new Tremfusion menus, with animated screenshot viewer, demo menu and enhanced server list
To the people who have been using a development version, the homepath has changed back to the Tremulous default:
- Linux: /home/<user>/.tremulous
- Mac: /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Tremulous
- Windows: %AppData%\Tremulous (Tremfusion will also search for files in the old homepath used in tjw's client, Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous)
Removed the pure server modifications, now back to the way Tremulous works
/search and /searchDown commands which scroll the console to find the text you are looking for
When r_width or r_height are set to 0, the desktop resolution is used
/which will show where a file was loaded from
Download prompt: You will be asked whether you want to accept or reject a download from servers
Removed sv_minPing, it's useless and probably buggy
Allow the base sound driver to use OpenAL capture for VoIP
A clock has been added in the ncurses console and the client console
Timestamps can be added to the console by enabling com_timestamps
Allow changing the fs_game cvar at runtime
Automatically detects which set of syscalls a game.qvm is using, and adjusts accordingly (no more G_ParseSpawnVars error)
The ncurses console can be disabled by adding +nocurses on the commandline
Delays can now be given a name and managed
Fixed ping calculation (No more 1-ping servers on the list)
The source of qvms files is shown when they are loaded
You can now escape quotes in commands with \"
Chat messages are now added to command history
Added a /random command to generate random numbers
Added cl_guidServerUniq = 2 which only differentiates server only by IP, not by port (Note: This will change your guid on all servers)
You can now choose your own console prompt using cl_consolePrompt
Lots and lots of bug fixes (If I put them all in then I would be spamming!)

Download it here: http://www.tremfusion.net/download/

If you are not seeing the Tremfusion menus on startup, try running these commands and then restarting the game:

Code: [Select]

/reset cl_defaultUI
/reset ui_menuFiles

If you encounter any issues using or installing Tremfusion, do not hesitate to post either here or on our forums, or come by on our IRC channel (#tremfusion on Freenode).

Multithreading(SMP) Support seems ineffective on windows.

Stare at a blank wall that gives a relatively stable framerate ( Here I used a blankwall of atcs for this )

r_smp 0
460fps

r_smp 1
270fps

As you can see, enabling multihreading gives around a 50% performance decrease.

bacon665 · « **Reply #7 on:** June 06, 2009, 02:40:57 am »

uh... is there a post somewhere that shows the changelog from .9_r1 to .99r2

@Thorn for your frames think about how a pc works.
When you start SMP you pass more data across the bus and your graphics card is now getting threads from two processors instead of one.
Its a nice feature for servers but TBH i dont think tremulous does enough math for a modern system.
Now would you be running it on twin socket 200mghz sparc blade or twin Pentium II's it would make a signifigant difference

The server sees:

As you can see, enabling multihreading gives around a 50% performance decrease.

SMP will put the renderer in one thread and the rest of the game in another. Since you are staring at a blank wall, there is nothing much to calculate in the game thread, so you don't get much of a performance improvement. Try comparing the performance during a base rush on a high-bp server, where there is a lot of stuff going on in the game thread. The performance decrease is due to the fact that thread synchronization takes a performance hit. For low fps this is negligible, but not for a high fps like yours.

Not much has changed, really. Only a few minor feature additions. I did remove VBO support, because it had some issues, but I plan on putting it back in for a future release.

Mac version NAO!

I need to get my Mac VM working again. Or someone could give me ssh access to a Mac with XCode installed.

Archangel · « **Reply #11 on:** June 06, 2009, 07:06:16 am »

I'll install 10.4 on one of my dual 500mhz boxes if you want.

Amanieu · « **Reply #12 on:** June 06, 2009, 07:18:31 am »

10.5 would be best since it has the latest version of xcode.

Asvarox · « **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2009, 08:53:49 am »

Hmm when I run tremulous-tty and try to use any command in it, it outputs

Code: [Select]

Unknown command ''say^7''I guess it's a typo

When recording:
sv_maxclients = whatever you want
sv_democlients = 0

When playing:
sv_maxclients = sv_maxclients of when you were recording + the max number of spectators
sv_democlients = sv_maxclients of when you were recording

Hope this helps

Well, that not work for me. I using TF 0.9 and your modified qvm from thread in this forum. Changes in server.cfg:
For recording:
set sv_maxclients 20
set sv_autodemo 1
set sv_democlients 0

Ok, I have demo file.

For playing:
set sv_maxclients 21
set sv_autodemo 0
set sv_democlients 20

Then I run tremded, server will start.
In tremded console I type: demo_play test (I renamed that file to test)
Server is restarted.
I type: sv_demostate: result is 0
And server is automatically restarted after while in loop with message "stopped playing demo test...".

Can you try it if it working for you? Maybe is there somewhat bug. Or I am doing something wrong?

Archangel · « **Reply #16 on:** June 06, 2009, 09:34:22 am »

I have no machines that can run 10.5 as it requires an 867MHz processor or above to run on the PPC platform. All I have is several dual 500MHz boxes and a few 750MHz boxes.

tremulous-tty requires a / before commands, just like the real client.

Code: [Select]

/connect IP:port

The Mac build is compatible with 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5.

@rotacak: Try it again with this release. If it doesn't work, I'll look into it some more.

Asvarox · « **Reply #18 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:17:54 pm »

In real client I don't have to put "/" when I wasn't connected to a server, nor in old ttymulous.

Also, some odd things happen in favorite servers, it adds offline servers, that I never added. with same ip:

Sometimes one of "normal" servers disappears and appears only after restart.

Do you follow the same steps to enable VOIP on the server as you do in the client?

What happened to /grep? It was very useful, I liked it a LOT. /search is just not the same...

Amanieu · « **Reply #28 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:37:13 pm »

Main problem with /grep was that it would catch the results from the last /grep too.

Urcscumug · « **Reply #29 on:** June 09, 2009, 08:35:44 pm »

Still liked it. You could place a limit on the amount of matching lines, and have a var that tells it to search from bottom up or top down. Or a separate command (grep and upgrep or something, and an optional parameter such as -n15).

I found it very useful as an admin, searching console for decons and all kinds of stuff.
