OSP Tourney DM/CA/CTF for Quake3
================================
Date:    14 Dec 01
Site:    http://www.OrangeSmoothie.org
Contact: rhea@OrangeSmoothie.org
Version: 1.0

This readme explains the enhanced client-side support and options
under OSP Tourney DM/CA/CTF.



Connect/graphics problems:
==========================
Try setting com_hunkmegs to 56 or 64 in your q3config.cfg (look for
its current setting already in the .cfg file), autoexec.cfg or what-
ever client config you exec on client launch.  You can even specify
this on the command-line with: +set com_hunkmegs 56.



Naming conventions:
===================
cg_* - General client-side options.
ch_* - Stuff related to client HUD settings.
cf_* - Stuff for client font (size) settings.



Message Control characters:
===========================
The following control characters describe additional features that can
be utilized for such things as the team chat console, names in the OSP
HUD and MOTD messages.

^B and ^b - make text blink
^F        - makes the text display only at the first half of a second
^f        - makes the text display only at the last half of a second
^N        - resets control stuff like ^B, ^F, ^f
^Xrrggbb  - allows the user to define the color using the rgb values (hex)

            (e.g. ^XFF0000 is red, ^X777777 some kind of grey).



Setting restrictions
====================
The following settings are enforced for internet play:

      r_lodcurveerror must be set to 250
      r_subdivisions must be no greater than 80
      cl_znear must be set to 4
      cl_shownormals must be set to 0
      cl_showtris must be set to 0

If you have settings that violate any of these rules, OSP will reset the
faulty variable to an acceptable setting and issue a vid_restart.  A side-
effect of this will mean that maps may appear to load more than once
upon connecting to a server.

Other clamps:

	cg_bobup clamped to +/- 0.005
	cg_fov upper bound clamped to 120, unless in zoomed view
	cg_zoomFov clamped to 120
	no cg_thirdperson view if in the game (and on a dedicated server)



Available chat tokens
=====================
#A - Armor
	Current armor value

#C - Corpse
	The location where you last died
	/say_team "Overrun at #C"

#D - Damaged by
	The last player to score a hit on you
	/say_team "#D is here and he's heavily armed!"

#H - Health
	Current health value
	/say_team "Hurting bad - #H/#A"

#I - Item (nearest available)
	Shows the nearest "significant" (weapon, armor, powerup, or MH)
	available item, and that includes dropped items  :)
	/say_team "#I available here"

#L - Location
	Many maps have terrible target_location entities
	e.g. PG on PRO-DM6 shows as YA
	"(pF.arQon) (YA): Weapon available" is a bit crap, neh?
	This shows the nearest "significant" item spawn
	(weapon, armor, powerup, or MH), whether the item is there or not

#M - aMmo wanted
	Lists all types of ammo for weapons you have that are empty or
	are nearly emptry (between 0 and 5 ammo).
	/say_team "Need #M"

#P - Powerups
	Lists all powerups you currently possess

#T - Target
	The last player you hit
	/say_team "#T is weak - finish him!"



Client commands
===============
currenttime
	Displays current local time.

menu
	Allows for adjustment of the various OSP-enhanced variables
	and options.  Below is a decription of supporting commands to
	utilize this client game option (note: words between ""'s are
	actually console commands):
		- "menu" enables the menu
		- "weapprev" and "weapnext" to scroll up and down though the
		   menu (bound to '[' and ']' respectively, by default).
		- "menuleft" and "menuright" to select menu items, or to make
		   values for some menu options decrease or increase.

		It is suggested that you bind these menu commands (i.e.
		weapprev, weapnext, menuleft, menuright and menu) to some
		out-of-the-way keys:
			bind / menu
			bind [ weapprev
			bind ] weapnnext
			bind ";" menuleft
			bind ' menuright

modif[1..5] stuff
        +modif[1..5] and -modif[1..5] supports the option for people who
	want to double-bind multiple keys using key sequences, as shown
	in the example below: 

	  set normkeys "bind 1 weapon 1; bind 2 weapon 2"
	  set altkeys  "bind 1 say_team nme incoming; bind 2 say_team base is safe"
	  +modif1 vstr normkeys
	  -modif1 vstr altkeys
	  bind shift +modif1
	
        Now when pressing the SHIFT key, +modif1 wil be executed.  When
	it is released, the vstr bound to -modif1 will be executed.  In this
	example, pressing shift will bind the 1 and 2 keys to weapons 1 and 2.
	When SHIFT is released, the 1 and 2 keys will be bound to
	"say_team nme incoming!" and "say_team base is under attack!".

	As a usage scenario from the above example, tapping the SHIFT key and
	then hitting the 1 key will result in issuing a "say_team nme incoming!".
	Pressing and HOLDING the SHIFT key while tapping the 1 key will switch
	to weapon 1.

        use \+modif1 ? to check what's bound to +modif1

+/-actions
      This is the Q3comp version of the same thing.

        set action1up "bind 1 weapon 1; bind 2 weapon 2"
        set action1down "bind 1 say_team nme incoming!; bind 2 say_team base is safe"
        bind shift +action1

      This will do the same thing as the modif example.
      You can have up to 10 actions. (0-9)

+vstr [down_command] [upcommand]
      Another useful way to create weapon switching scripts.  Here's an example:

         set shaft "weapon 6; wait 2; +attack"
         set unfire "-attack"
         bind mouse2 +vstr shaft unfire

+fire [weap_1] [weap_2] ...
      Specifies a chain of weapons to attempt to switch to and fire, e.g.:

         +fire 5 3

      Switches to and fires the RL, if available, else it switches to the
      SG and fires, else no action is performed (promode only).

addstr [target_string] [source_string]
      Appends [source_string] to [target_string] (promode only)



General Game Options:
=====================
General in-game client-side options to tweak fall under the cg_* category.
For most of the HUD (heads-up-display) options, see the ch_* and cf_*
options, listed in the next sections.


cg_altGrenades <0|1> (default = 0 - baseq3 grenade skin)
      Utilizes an alternate (prettier) skin/model for the grenades
      from the grenade launcher.

cg_altLightning <0|1> (default = 0 - new 1.29/promode skin)
      Utilizes the original skin (pre 1.29) for the shaft of the
      lightning gun.

cg_altPlasma <0|1> (default = 0 - baseq3 plasma skin)
      Utilizes an alternate (prettier) skin for the plasma bolts
      of the plasma gun.

cg_ammoCheck <0|1> (default = 0 - disabled)
      Disables the ability to switch to a weapon that doesn't
      have any ammo.  Useful for multiple-weapon binds.

cg_autoAction <option_bitmask> (default = 0)
      Automatically performs actions at certain points in the game.

       <option_bitmask>:
             1 - Automatically save stats to a local text
                 file at the end of a match. Logs will be
                 stored in:

                   <osp_root>/stats/<date>/<logname>.txt

             2 - Automatically takes an end-level screenshot
             4 - Automatically records a match (requires
                 a full warmup server - g_warmup = 0)
             8 - Dump your team's weapon stats
            16 - Dump all players' weapon stats

cg_clientLog <value> (default = 0)
      Enables client-side logging option.  A non-zero value of "X"
      (where "X" is 1 or higher) enables logging all of messages issued
      during gameplay.  Colors are stripped and time-stamps are included!
      All entries are appended to osp/client_logs/clientX.txt text file.

cg_Customloc <0|1> (Default = 0 - disabled)
      Use custom location information (from files in the locs/<mapname>.cfg
      directory) for the teamoverlay and teamchat locations.  To add
      locations for a map, move to a particular location, and then issue:

            \addpos <location name>

      You can use all kinds of color and special characters in the
      location_name field. These position markers will be added to
      locs\<mapname>.cfg everytime a location is added.  These locations
      are loaded when a map is loaded or the client issues a vid_restart
      command.  If a customloc file is not found for the current map,
      the location information that is displayed will be from the map's
      default information.

cg_deadBodyFilter <0|1> (default = 0 - Dead bodies rendered)
      Enables/disables drawing of dead bodies on the level.

cg_drawDecals <0|1> (default = 1 - Decal drawing enabled)
      Enables/disables drawing of in-game decals.

cg_enableOSPHUD <0|1> (default = 1 - OSP-based HUD enabled)
      Enables the OSP-based HUD.

cg_enemyColors <HSL> (default = 0000 (White))
      Specifies the various color options for your enemies, if using
      the "pm" skins for the default Q3 models:
          R = rail color (for cg_teamrails 2)
          H = head/helmet color
          S = shirt color
          L = legs color

----> Note: Values of the "char" for each of the "RHSL" parameters can be
      from 0-9, a-z.

cg_enemyModel <modelname> (default = "" - disabled)
      Setting this will force all players on the enemy team to
      appear to have this model.  Your teammates will retain their
      models unless you specify g_forcemodel 1, which will force
      all of your teammates to your current model.

cg_float <0|1> (default = 0)
      Allows cool float mode of the scoreboard and teamscore
      boxes.

cg_followkiller <0|1> (default = 0 - disabled)
      Allows client to auto-switch to killer of chased player.

      player specing in team games.

cg_followpowerup <0|1> (default = 0 - disabled)
      Allows client to auto-follow powerup pickup if spectating.
      Flag carriers have highest precidence in the follow_powerup
      settings.  Once you are on a flag carrier, you will not switch
      automatically unless they are killed or cap the flag.
      Also, if the current powerup player is killed, you will switch
      to another powerup carrier, if one exists (rather than staying
      on the same player, or switching to the killer).

          0 - Disabled
          1 - Show in lower right portion of the screen
          2 - Show in upper right portion of the screen

cg_MaxlocationWidth <length> (default = 16)
      Sets maximum locationlength for teamoverlay and teamchat.

cg_muzzleFlash <0|1> (default = 1)

cg_nochatbeep <0|1> (default = 0 - normal chat beeps enabled)
      Allows client to supress "beeps" heard during normal chat
      messages.  Especially convenient when connected to spam-riddled
      QTV servers.

cg_nomip <bitmask> (default = 0 - all gfx follow r_picmip)
      Allows changing graphics to picmip 0 setting, regardless of
      current r_picmip setting.  The parameter for this setting
      is a bitmask:
           1 - LightningGun shaft
           2 - PlasmaGun bolt
           4 - Rocket Launcher explosions
           8 - Grenade Launcher explosions
          16 - Bullets (machinegun and shotgun)
          32 - Railgun
          64 - BFG
         128 - Blood marks
         256 - Smoke puffs

          Note: If you use marks, the marks for each weapon are
                also set to picmip level 0.

cg_oldCTFSounds <0|1> (default = 0 - Use newer CTF sounds)
      Allows the use of "old" CTF sounds in CTF gametype that were
      used prior to the 1.27 patch.

      Q2 swirl.

cg_oversampleMouse <0|1> - (default = 0 - normal mouse sampling)
      Allows the use of the pmove enhanced mouse sampling on the
      client even if pmove_fixed is forced to 0 on the server.

cg_q3compScoreboard <0|1> (default = 0)
      0 - default id scoreboard
      1 - Q3comp Scoreboard (TDM, CTF and CA only)

cg_scoreTransparency <0.0 - 1.0> (default = 1.0 - full bright)
      Adjusts the alpha channel of the font on the scoreboard.  The
      lower the value, the more transparent the scores will become.

cg_showPlayerLean <0|1> (default = 1 - Show model leaning)
      Allows the disabling of viewed model leaning that was intro-
      duced with 1.27 patch.

cg_statscrolltime <value> (default = 0.15)
      Sets, in seconds, the time it takes for the stats window
      to scroll out and scroll back in.  Setting to 0 forces
      instant on/off action.

cg_swapSkins <0|1> (default = 0 - normal team colors)
      Allows you to reverse skin colors as displayed on-screen.
      Note: announcements, overlays, and the scoreboard will still
      maintain your "real" server-controlled team color.

cg_teamRails <0|1> (default = 0 - rail colors defined by players)
      Forces railtrail colors to coincide with the color of the
      team of the firing players.  Works only for team-based
      gametypes.

      0 - Rail trail colors defined by individual player settings.
      1 - Rail trails will match the color of the team of the firing
          player (i.e. a player on the red team will ALWAYS have
          a red rail trail).
      2 - Use rail color as specified in the R parameter of color1
          for teammates, and the R parameter of cg_enemyColors for
          players of the enemy team.

cg_truelightning <0.0 - 1.0> (default = 0.0)
      Specifies the "lag" imposed on the rendering of the lightning
      gun shaft.  A value of 0.0 is just like the baseq3 version "feel"
      of the lg.  A value of 1.0 imposes no lag at all (shaft is always
      rendered on the crosshairs).  A value of 0.5 is a good mix of the
      two to reduce the wet-noodle effect, while still maintaining
      consistency of where the server actually sees the shaft.

cg_useScreenShotJPEG <0|1> (default = 0 - use .tga for screenshots)
      Allows use of .jpg for screenshots taken with autoscreenshot or
      autoaction settings.
          0 - Use the standard .tga screenshot format
          1 - Use the .jpg screenshot format

color1 <RHSL> (default = 0000 (White))
      Specifies the various color options for yourself (and teammates),
      if using a "pm" skin for a default Q3 model:
          R = rail-core color (this is for all models/skins)
          H = head/helmet color
          S = shirt color
          L = legs color

color2 <char> (default = 0)
      Specifies the rail disc/swirl color.

----> Note: Values of the "char" for color1/color2 can be from 0-9, a-z.


pmove_fixed <0|1> (default = 1 - enabled)
      Allows client to enable enhanced client sampling.  Note, the
      server must allow this setting to be set/changed.

s_ambient <0|1> (default = 1)
	0 - Disables looping ambient sounds of the current map
	1 - Enables looping ambient sounds of the current map
---> Note: If this value is changed while connected, you will automatically
	   vid_restart to enable this option.

=======================
Helpful Client Settings
=======================
Clients can set:

	set cg_predictItems 0

To avoid some sometimes arbitrary item actions and pickup sounds
that can occur during a match warmup period.


Using the hook:
===============
If the server has the hook enabled, set:

	bind key_name +button5

By pressing and holding key_name (e.g. mouse3), your hook will be
launched and pull you when it lands on an object.  To release the
hook, just release key_name.


Item dropping:
==============
If configured (or voted in), players can drop weapons/ammo in TDM
or CTF games.  The command to drop items is:

	\drop <item_name>

<item_name> can be any of the following:

	sg	(Shotgun)
	gl	(Grenade Launcher)
	rl	(Rocket Launcher)
	lg	(Lightning Gun)
	rg	(Railgun)
	pg	(Plasma Gun)
	bullets	(qty: 50)
	shells	(qty: 10)
	grenades	(qty: 5)
	rockets	(qty: 5)
	lightning	(qty: 80)
	slugs		(qty: 10)
	cells		(qty: 30)

Players may optionally drop flags in CTF by the command:

	\drop flag


Using the ViewCam:
==================
There are several ways to use the viewcam.  To enable:
	- Type: \viewcam in the console
	- Join: \team vc
	- Cycle through to it when in spectator mode

This mode of operation will always locate the most action going
on in the map.  To manually move to different viewcam locations,
type:
	\vc_free

	----> This option toggles either manual or automatic viewcam
		positioning.

You can optionally track a single player with this mode through:
	\vc_follow

To follow a SPECIFIC player, type:
	\vc_follow [PLAYER_ID|PLAYER_NAME]

	----> Note you can just cycle through to a player using the
		jump/croutch keys as well.

The viewcam positions are defined by configuration files that are
map-specific.  If a map does not have a viewcam definition file,
the viewcam will be disabled from use for the current map.

Creating new viewcam definition files is pretty easy and kinda
fun =)  All the documentation you will need (+ additional commands)
is given in the included Docs/osp-q3-Viewcam.txt file.

If you make viewcam definition files that are not included with
the OSP distribution, please send them to me and I will include
them in the next release.  Full credits will of course be given.
