Change log/5.11

We've been very busy these past few months!

This update includes a vast number of new features, bug fixes, and map updates. Here's a rundown on the most notable new changes / features:

1 Angelscript API Update

As mentioned in several previous notifications, we had to make few changes to the SC Angelscript API as a result of some bug fixes. If your script(s) use any of the changed class members/methods, it won't work any more in this version of Sven Co-op and needs to be updated. You can find more details and a list of changes here.

We'll gladly help you, should you have trouble with the changes. You can reach us on our forums or on our Discord chat server.

2 Classic Mode Update

When enabled, Classic Mode now replaces all default models with their original low-definition 1998 release counterparts. Alien slave revival and alien grunt snark grenades are also disabled to bring the game more in-line with classic Half-Life.

Classic Mode can currently only be enabled in the Half-Life campaign, but may eventually be implemented in the other Half-Life campaign conversions in a future release.

3 New Map - WARFORTS

WARFORTS, created by Tuesday's Avenger, is now packaged with the game. The map features team PvP gameplay in which two megacorporations (the Yellow and Blue teams) send agents to capture each other's flags while defending their own bases. The first team to reach five captures is victorious. Players may choose from seven distinct classes, each with unique active or passive abilities.

In addition to the enemy flag, players can attack a number of secondary targets during play. Each base includes four destroyable structures, which will take damage only from explosives:

Left and right shield generators, which power the lasers that prevent enemies from scaling the side walls
A signal jammer, which will cause the enemy to spawn rocket and HW grunts if lost
A door control unit which, if destroyed, will leave the front gate open and vulnerable

Additionally, occupying the side bunker will bring its defenses and Alien Mercenary units under your team's control.

4 New Map Entities

Env_render_individual (point entity): Changes the visual appearance of entities for one player or a group of players.
Func_mirror (brush entity): Can be used to create mirrors.
Func_monitor (brush entity): Can be used to create display screens that render a camera view onto a surface.
Func_portal (brush entity): Can be used to create 3D sky boxes and portals into other rooms.

These entities are still somewhat experimental and may be subject to change in a future release. Please see this thread for more information on how to use them.

5 Survival Mode Integration

Survival mode is now natively supported by the game, rather than being loaded through Angelscript. Players can now vote to enable or disable Survival Mode from the in-game command menu on maps that support it.

We have also implemented Survival Mode in the following official maps: Black Mesa EPF, Crystal, HPlanet, Infested, Intruder, Last Stand Series, Danger of Collapse, Persia, Toonrun, and Half-Life: Uplink.

With this change, there are now a few new ways for server operators and mappers to control Survival Mode by console variables. Server operators who would like to learn more about the new server-specific CVARs for Survival Mode, please visit this thread. Level designers who would like to learn more about the new map-specific CVARs for Survival Mode, or would like to learn how to implement Survival Mode into a map, please visit this thread.

6 Trigger_Camera Upgrades

New functionality has been added to the trigger_camera entity. Please visit this thread for an explanation of new keyvalues and entity behavior. A list of changes can be found below in the changelog. See the 'Code' section, under 'Game library'.

New point entity: env_render_individual. Changes the visual appearance of entities for one player or a group of players.

8.3 Console Variables

New Client CVAR: cl_portal_disable_shaders - Disables the use of shaders for rendering mirrors, portals and monitors (global setting). Setting this CVAR might improve performance, but might introduce blue artefacts on mirrors and portals (usually not on monitors).
New Client CVAR: cl_mirror_disabled - Mirrors will not be rendered at all.
New Client CVAR: cl_mirror_fps - Sets maximum fps for rendering mirrors. 0 means unlimited fps (or same fps as the game). Setting this CVAR can improve performance, but will make mirrors look a bit laggy and might cause them to "jitter" and have weird artefacts on their edges when walking by them.
New Client CVAR: cl_mirror_halfframes - Setting this to 1 will cause mirrors to only be rendered every 2nd frame, independent of the current frame rate or fps setting. Setting this CVAR can improve performance, but will make portals look a bit laggy and might cause them to "jitter" and have weird artifacts on their edges when walking by them.
New Client CVAR: cl_mirror_quality - Setting this to a non-zero value will "scale" the resolution used for rendering mirrors. 1000 = 100% of your current game resolution, 500 = 50% etc. Using this CVAR can improve performance, but will make mirrors look blurry.
New Client CVAR: cl_monitor_disabled - Monitors will not be rendered at all.
New Client CVAR: cl_monitor_fps - Sets maximum fps for rendering monitors. 0 means unlimited fps (or same fps as the game). Setting this CVAR can improve performance, but will make monitors look a bit laggy.
New Client CVAR: cl_monitor_halfframes - Setting this to 1 will cause monitors to only be rendered every 2nd frame, independent of the current frame rate or fps setting. Setting this CVAR can improve performance, but might make monitors look a bit laggy.
New Client CVAR: cl_monitor_quality - Setting this to a non-zero value will "scale" the resolution used for rendering monitors. 1000 = 100% of the resolution set by the mapper for any given monitor, 500 = 50% etc. Using this CVAR can improve performance, but will make monitors look (more) blurry.
New Client CVAR: cl_portal_disabled - Portals will not be rendered at all.
New Client CVAR: cl_portal_fps - Sets maximum fps for rendering portals. 0 means unlimited fps (or same fps as the game). Setting this CVAR can improve performance, but will make portals look a bit laggy and might cause them to "jitter" and have weird artefacts on their edges when walking by them.
New Client CVAR: cl_portal_halfframes - Setting this to 1 will cause portals to only be rendered every 2nd frame, independent of the current frame rate or fps setting. Setting this CVAR can improve performance, but will make portals look a bit laggy and might cause them to "jitter" and have weird artefacts on their edges when walking by them.
New Client CVAR: cl_portal_quality - Setting this to a non-zero value will "scale" the resolution used for rendering portals. 1000 = 100% (your current game resolution), 500 = 50% etc. Setting this CVAR can improve performance, but will make portals look blurry.
New Map Config CVAR: mp_survival_nextmap - Specifies the next survival map in a series.
New Map Config CVAR: mp_survival_startdelay - Delay before survival mode starts.
New Map Config CVAR: mp_survival_starton - Should Survival mode auto-start after map load?
New Map Config CVAR: mp_survival_supported - Does the current map support Survival mode?
New Server CVAR: mp_survival_minplayers - Number of players needed to start Survival mode.
New Server CVAR: mp_survival_mode - Default Survival mode state (enabled by default - if the map supports it).
New Server CVAR: mp_survival_retries - Number of retries before "next map" vote starts. (-1:infinite).
New Server CVAR: mp_survival_voteallow - Allow Survival mode voting? (mp_voteallow is checked first).

8.4 Engine

Fixed buffer overflow in weapon tracer effect rendering.
Networking: Updated the baseline transmission size for entity indexes to match the maximum entity limit.
Networking: Updated the sound message transmission size for entity indexes to match the maximum entity limit.
