Lakitu7's Tremulous 1.1 QVM
Current Version: 4.18
From SVN Revision 910
Downloads:
http://www.mercenariesguild.net/patches/?do=details&task_id=69While playing on and admining Tremulous servers, I've found a distinct lack of a server package that
a) Contains all of the features that I want
b) Doesn't have any nonsense that ruins the game
Thus, like many server owners, I began the task of making my own for the {SGA} Server. While I originally intended to just put something together from existing patches, I quickly found that patches for many things that I wanted either didn't exist, weren't available, or weren't available separate from a ton of other things that I didn't want, or couldn't be applied together.
By the time I'd finished tracking down, separating, and creating my own patches, I'd done enough work to feel that I should distribute this QVM. Thanks to the encouragement of my friends asking for it, I've finished getting this to a releasable state.
As an overview, my QVM includes EVERYTHING in tjw's 1.1 QVM (not the balance changes tested on trem.tjw.org nowadays, but the things here:
http://tjw.org/tremulous/). It also includes a number of the more popular enhancements found in other packages (avenger, risujin, *wraths') and things that I have written myself for features and bugfixes that I wanted.
If you do decide to use this, I would appreciate leaving a post here to tell me the name of your server. Then I can know to tell you about updates or bugs or whatever if I see you in game/irc.
--------------------
Installation:
Easy way:
Follow TJW's instructions at
http://tjw.org/tremulous/SETUP.txt, but wget a URL for my QVM instead of his. My QVM DOES use TJW's Tremded executable, so get it from
http://tjw.org/tremulous/Harder way:
Download TJW's tremded, as above
Compile my qvm yourself:
Download SVN revision 910 (svn svn://svn.icculus.org/tremulous/ -r910)
Apply my .patch
make
If you're using linux, you should already know how to compile things.
If you're using Windows, use either of the excellent build guides at:

Contact Information:
Forums: The Lakitu7's 1.1 QVM thread, tremulous.net forums, mods subforum
IRC: Lakitu7 on Freenode, Quakenet, Dorksnet, or Zirc
Ingame: {SGA}Lakitu7, probably on Beergarden
--------------------
FAQ:
Q: I want a QVM with features x and y, but not z. Will you compile one for me?
A: Unless you're a good friend of mine and you have a darn good reason why you can't do it yourself, no. If you're running Linux, I'm sure you know how to compile your own anyway. If you're running Windows, see either of the excellent build guides linked in "harder way." If you ask nicely and put forth the effort to learn to do things yourself, I may help you, but I won't do it for you. The only thing I put here that's really all that controversial is SD Votes and those are both controlled and disablable.
Q: I don't want your QVM, but I do want patch X from it
A: I've made EVERY patch that I have used available here:
http://browsingtheinternet.com/trem/patches/910_qvm/ Q: I found a bug.
A: Well damn, tell me. Use the contact information above and I'll fix it. If it's part of a patch that I didn't make, then I'll still fix it, or I'll whine at whoever did to to fix it instead
.
Q: I have a suggestion for a new feature.
A: Maybe. If I don't see myself using something, I won't code it for you. But if the idea is good and I'd like to have it, perhaps. BUT, I have no interest in doing any fullscale mods that make sweeping gameplay changes. I do not have any interest in making any "balance" changes. If your suggestion is nice and can be implemented with a reasonable degree of effort, I'll think about it.
Q: You should add the Protoss/Predator/MDriver Turret/M4A1 Abrams Tank/BFG9000
A: Hay man that's so cool how about you make it yourself and then post it on the forums.
Q: Update this for newer SVN revisions
A: This was already a ton of work. Maybe. It depends on how many things get into SVN that I want to include BEFORE 1.2 comes out. Then I may or may not release something for 1.2.
--------------------
The long, long list of patches/features:
I have mirrored every patch that I've used here:
http://browsingtheinternet.com/trem/patches/910_qvm/The ones that I have made I've also mostly submitted to
http://www.mercenariesguild.net/patchesYou may use any patches that I have made for whatever you wish, but as with all GPLed code, follow the license: you must keep it opensource.
Other patches are available from their given sources
Listing is roughly in order of significance of their effect, in my opinion
Patches that have multiple things are together because they don't apply together in their seperate forms. I have linked their original separated versions where applicable.

sdmodes+sdvotes+denybuild+denybuildvotes+mutevotes+customvotes+specvoting.patch
This is my votes megapatch. Only customvotes is my idea, but none of these patches would otherwise apply together. In the case of SD Modes + SD Votes, I had to rewrite most of the SD functions to make them work together. Please enjoy my efforts.

http://wraths.dyndns.org/games/tremulous/patches/svn901Custom Votes: /callvote custom "String goes here".
Allows the calling "custom" votes. Before r858, people would use /callvote map "Is unnamedPlayer an idiot?" Since that's diabled now by a check to verify that "is unnamed player an idiot.bsp" exists before calling the vote, I replaced it with customvotes. They DO nothing, but can be useful for an admin to ask a question of users on their server.
Also has /callteamvote custom "String goes here" for things like /callteamvote custom "Move to window room?" Idea for teamvote version thanks to Benmachine

I'd use my own version, but it requires client side mods too. Developers, Please, please put this into SVN.

I modified this to !specme instead because that seems to be what most people expect it to be called. Personally, I don't see why people can't just use /team spectate, but it's requested a lot, so here it is.

svn910 revert:
Reverts kick and ban code to how they were pre-revision910. The bug that introduced (

https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3052).

philbordelon-floodprotection+lakitu7-enhancements.patch
Prevents flooding of chat commands. Controled by g_floodMinTime. 0=off. Default: 2000.
Admins with admin permission #2 (immune to flood protection & censorship) are immune. This permission was already in the admin system, but didn't do anything because it wasn't implemented yet. All forms of /say are protected by flood protection, along with PMs and admin commands. g_floodMaxDemerits lets you fine tune the harshness of the protection somewhat. See the source link for details. I defaulted it to 5000.

lakitu7-g_deconDead.patch
Adds g_deconDead, which controls the ability to decon structures that have 0 health and are about to explode, causing damage. This was possible before g_markdeconstruct (r880), but was regardless of g_markdeconstruct's setting. g_deconDead defaults to 0 (svn behavior, cannot decon dead structures). g_deconDead reverts to the pre-880 behavior.
