RTCW MP

RTCW-MP engine features missing from Spearmint.

Not required to be useable

Not sure if I want to add them. Translation support should use gettext, not legacy one-off game translation system. Probably possible to add rtcw translation in VMs, I haven't looked into it.

• translation support
• auto update
• open URL

Missing CGame API calls

• trap_S_StartSoundEx
• trap_S_StartStreamingSound (not sure if it's used by MP, I know SP does.)

Modified CGame API calls

• trap_S_AddLoopingSound in RTCW does not use entityNum, allowing adding looping sounds for flame chunk which do not have individual server entities.

Missing API calls that are only used by SP?

• trap_S_GetVoiceAmplitude (not used in MP, used in SP)
• spline camera support (only needed for SP afaik)
• get tag (only needed for SP, plus I want to change the game code so it isn't needed)
• missing some bot system calls (only needed for SP, MP doesn't have bots)

Renderer

• Missing API for setting MDS (e.g. player model) torso axis and animation frame/oldframe/backlerp.
• some stuff from tr_types.h
  • REFLAG_FORCE_LOD. Use lowest LOD. It's used when entity is on fire, and some other cases?
  • fireRiseDir used for entity on fire by shader alphagen normalzfade
  • fadeStartTime and fadeEndTime might be replaceable using RF_FORCE_ENT_ALPHA and shaderRGBA[3]
  • RDF_SNOOPERVIEW makes lightmaps be replaced with white and disables dlights. Make it RDF_NOLIGHTMAPS and drop dlights in cgame?
• Can dlight overdraw be replaced by ET's dlight intensity?
• Custom dlight shaders (added engine support added, not exposed to cgame yet)
• TCGEN_FIRERISEENV_MAPPED ?
  • No shaders in RTCW SP/MP use this.
• TMOD_SWAP ?
  • iortcw rend2 doesn't support it (parses it, but doesn't do anything with it).
  • Used by one shader in RTCW SP/MP lightningkca, but it's images "ui/assets/blu0[1-8].tga" don't exist and probably isn't loaded.
• unknown other things?

Port notes

• Console background needs to be changed for RTCW-MP in CGame VM.
