Additions

• add: SuperHUD element RecordingDemo will only be visible when recording a demo. This will only be supported by compatible engines (latest CNQ3 and Quake3e).
• add: item timers for 1.52+ demos and live view (non-coaching spectators only).
• ItemTimers* HUD elements for placement, appearance, team filters.
• ch_timers* CVars for type filtering, ordering, time sync.
• add: SuperHUD elements for groups of item timers:
• ItemTimers1_Icons to ItemTimers4_Icons display the icons.
• ItemTimers1_Times to ItemTimers4_Times display the time remaining until spawn.
• add: ch_timersList (default: "quad bs regen invis haste flight medkit mh ra ya").
• It's a space-separated list of item types to display in all modes. When not in CTF/NTF, the list's order is the display order to print the list of tracked items and their short names, use /itemtimerlist.
• add: ch_timersSync <0|1> (default: 0) synchronizes all item timer text updates.
• add: ch_timersOrderOR <0 to 3> (default: 0) is the order within own/red item timers.
• add: ch_timersOrderEB <0 to 3> (default: 1) is the order within enemy/blue item timers.
• CTF/NTF only:
• 0 - Flag -> Mid
• 1 - Mid -> Flag
• 2 - Custom list (ch_timersList)
• 3 - Custom list inverted (ch_timersList inverted)
• add: ch_timersOrderTeams <0 to 3> (default: 0) is the order of item timer teams.
• CTF/NTF only:
• 0 - Own -> Enemy
• 1 - Enemy -> Own
• 2 - Red -> Blue
• 3 - Blue -> Red
• add: new SuperHUD commands and command arguments:
• fadedelay : wait time in milliseconds (max. 5000) before the "fade" animation starts.
• alignh : horizontal alignment (Left, Center, Right).
• alignv : vertical alignment (Top, Center, Bottom).
• direction : direction (Left-to-right, Top-to-bottom, Right-to-left, Bottom-to-top).
• textoffset : offset to apply to the text position after all other computations.
• imagetc : texture coordinates for the shader specified by "image".
• margins : offsets (positive means inward) to apply to "rect" when drawing "image" or "text" with a non-"fill"ed background.
• itteam : item timer team filter (Red, Blue, Neutral, Own, Enemy).
• color I: changes the background color to match the item timer's team.
• L T R B C: stand for Left Top Right Bottom Center respectively when used in StatusBar_*Bar, "direction" overrides "textalign" and gives access to top-to-bottom mode. When used with ItemTimers*, "direction" only specifies the axis, the orientation is handled by CVars.
• add: only users with compatible engines will get a full item timers refresh right after /record. For the others, the timer data will be invalid until either an arena restart or arena change happens. Note that /autorecord will always work on all engines.
• add: server_timersNeutralZone <0 to 256> (default: 16). Allows some wiggle room in the definition of center map for item timers in CTF/NTF some maps have their mid power-ups slightly off-center (e.g. quad, haste and mega on cpmctf2).
• add: cfg-maps/itemtimers.txt can be used to tweak some entity positions for item timers. Some maps have base items at exactly mid-distance between both flags (e.g. bottom YAs on q3wcp14).
• add: new SuperHUD elements Name_OWN and Name_NME. They won't be visible in pre-1.52 demos when in FFA or a 1v1 mode in free-float view.
• add: /con_echo can now output a cvar's value using the $(cvar) syntax (e.g. "con_echo $(s_volume)").
• add: the players' ready status is now drawn in the 1v1/hm scoreboard during warm-up.
• add: the #V team chat token is the last enemy player you killed.
• parts of the vote system were stuck on version 1.47. In addition to the 1.48 changes, non-speconly'd spectators can now vote on:
• referee and unreferee items in all game modes (1.48: all modes except 1v1 and HM).
• any item in Duel Arena.

Changes

• chg: the #T team chat token is now the last enemy player you damaged.
• chg: the #D team chat token is now the last enemy player who damaged you the AttackerIcon and AttackerName HUD elements now refer to the last enemy player who damaged you /messagemode4 will send a private message to the last enemy player who damaged you.
• chg: ch_drawWarmup 1 no longer draws anything in coach view.
• chg: improved the default HUD and added item timers, player names and a demo recording indicator.
• chg: removed the "draw3d" SuperHUD command (to load a skin, use "image" after "model").
• chg: com_blood 0 no longer turns off gibs (despite cg_gibs 1) in all modes other than FTAG.
• chg: "Add Bots" and "Remove Bots" menu tweaks:
• fixed all unregistered keys scrolling the list up by 1 line.
• added list scrolling support with home/end/page up/page down.
• chg: in free-float view, Score_OWN/Name_OWN is red/1st place and Score_NME/Name_NME is blue/2nd place.
• chg: the accepted value range for the fadedelay and time SuperHUD commands is now [0, 5000].
• chg: removed ch_drawWeaponSelect and added 2 new SuperHUD elements as replacement:
• WeaponSelection: the weapon wheel.
• WeaponSelectionName: the name of the selected weapon unlike ch_drawWeaponSelect, the new elements are also active in live and demo follow views to learn how to replicate the look of ch_drawWeaponSelect, please refer to the website's guide.
• chg: disabled WeaponList and WeaponSelection* in team modes when multi-view is active because the weapon list would only consist of the current weapon (it's a MV limitation).
• chg: tweaked demo playback a bit:
• HOME: sets speed to 1, no longer resumes playback.
• END : toggles play/pause.
• PGUP: multiplies speed by 2 (max.: 32), no longer resumes playback.
• PGDN: divides speed by 2 (min.: 0.125), no longer resumes/pauses playback.
• the demo playback messages are now drawn in coach (multi-)view as well.
• chg: spectators can always vote when no human player is in the arena.

Fixes

• fix: fixes for the power-up list in the HUD when multi-viewing games:
• the list could sometimes be broken or empty.
• the order now matches the currently loaded SuperHUD config.
• 2v2/TDM: time remaining was ticking down during server pauses.
• 2v2/TDM: the icons were not displayed when the pick-up time wasn't known.
• 2v2/TDM: the countdown was starting at 29 instead of 30.
• fix: team chat token data for #C #D #P #T #V now gets cleared during team changes.
• fix: first-person gun offsets were wrong when cg_fov was too high or had a fractional value.

• fix: server crash (division by 0) at the end of a CTFS/CA match when printing the stats.

• numeric items only accept numbers in range with no extra characters.
• numeric items only accept numbers different than the current ones.
• the "mode" and "match" items only accept names of modes that exist and are enabled.
• the "item"/"items" item only accepts proper item names with a "+"/"-" prefix.
• the "item"/"items" item only accepts callvotes that would change the current item list.
• the "nextmap" item now gets validated like the "map" item.
• fix: in the error menu, pressing any key when the cursor was on the button would transition to the main menu
• fix: in team modes, referee spectators could /coachinvite players to coach the spectator team.
• fix: Score_NME was visible even when the score wasn't valid (no (other) player in the arena).
• fix: a very old bug prevented some state changes from being sent to the clients through config strings affected: score blue/1st/red/2nd (sb/sr), # blue/red players alive (pb/pr), warm-up time (tw).
• fix: team and player names now get validated the same way the maximum display length is 16 and leading/trailing whitespace is no longer accepted.
• fix: the SuperHUD element StatusBar_AmmoBar never drew the ammo bar with infinite ammo (<= -1).
• fix: the SuperHUD element AmmoMessage could be visible with infinite ammo (< -1) (e.g. mg on wtf24).
• fix: ch_recordMessage 0 wasn't respected when starting demo recording through /record.
• fix: incorrect behavior with cg_predictItems 0 (always) and cg_predictItems 1 (sometimes):
• backpack pickups in NTF would show weapon/ammo names/icons in the SuperHUD and emit weapon/ammo sounds.
• with cg_autoswitch 1 in NTF, pickups of backbacks dropped by players who had.
• a weapon with ammo selected would make you switch to said weapon when you had it.
• cg_predictItems 0 only: power-up pickups didn't show up on the HUD (ItemPickup and ItemPickupIcon).
• pre-1.52 demos will exhibit the same behavior no matter what cg_predictItems setting was used.
• fix: the following UI bits were still drawn when cg_draw2D was 0:
• Multi-View coach: scoreboard, center print, all SuperHUD elements.
• Multi-View zoom: scoreboard, center print, SuperHUD element WarmupInfo.

• fix: player win/loss stats were updated incorrectly after forfeits.
• fix: player models were distorted or invisible in the UI when the resolution was too high.

Changes

• chg: r_lodCurveError <250.0 to 10000.0> (default: 2000) is now archived and no longer cheat-protected
• chg: multi-monitor support improvements:
• add: /monitorlist will print all detected monitors and the indices to use with r_monitor.

• fix: Windows: the Windows + shift + left/right arrow key shortcuts should be usable now.
• chg: bundling lightmap tiles into texture atlases for improved rendering performance.
• chg: faster map loads by limiting the rendering back-end's frame-rate.
• chg: on Windows, the upper limit of open stdio file handles was raised from 512 to 2048.

Fixes

• fix: the presence of .shader files outside of PK3s no longer triggers a drop error.
• fix: shader stage collapsing was happening in cases where it would yield incorrect results.
• fix: map download improvements:
• add: using numeric addresses as fallbacks in case DNS resolves fail.
• chg: made connections non-blocking so the engine won't freeze for long when starting a download.
• chg: writing to $(fs_homepath)/baseq3 instead of $(fs_basepath)/baseq3.

• fix: setting send time-outs so the engine can't freeze indefinitely.
• fix: creating the destination directory when it doesn't already exist.
• fix: the file name suffixes generated by /dlmapf would often repeat due to a constant seed.
• fix: the last byte of a maximum length bitstream string wasn't parsed ("q3msgboom").
• fix: aborting demo playback would crash when the "nextdemo" cvar was set to play a demo.
• fix: no longer feeding cs commands that came from a previous gamestate to cgame example in CPMA: "/map cpm22" -> "/cv map cpm25" -> elevator sound was broken.
• fix: on Windows, could sometimes click outside the engine's window in raw mouse input mode.
• fix: when r_msaa was in the range [2, 16], the requested sample count was always 4.
• fix: /video and /stopvideo fixes:
• chg: /video can only be used during demo playback
