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 (default: 0) synchronizes all item timer text updates.
• add: ch_timersOrderOR (default: 0) is the order within own/red item timers.
• add: ch_timersOrderEB (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 (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
• 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 (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: "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].
• • WeaponSelection: the weapon wheel.
• 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.
