To Do

  1. Add a preliminary master server advertising implementation

  2. Fix bugs:

  • Sometimes the server doesn't call G_WorldDone when gameaction is set to ga_worlddone; something sets it back to ga_nothing first.
    • It looks this might also set GS_FINALE
    • And also it prevents the server from sending a gameaction update and NM_FULLSTATE to clients
  • Windows crashes pretty early on
  • Currently nothing clears or renders when you switch to vidingl from OpenGL
    • Also I think OpenGL mode doesn't refresh properly (console sticks)

  1. Add a server message sound (just use radio/tink?)

  2. Get rid of 'widget'

  • Basic UI elements become 'box'
  • HUD elements become 'element'
  1. UI scaling
  • Make UI scaling optional
  • Wrapping doesn't wrap unbroken lines
    • May be nothing I can do about this

:::: Proto Release Here ::::

  1. Move cheats to scripting
  • ...so they work
  • Need a lot of binding support
  1. UI Enhancements
  • I think padding should be proportional to the widget's size instead of the parent widget's size
  1. UI Bugs
  • FPS sinks when console scrollback fills up
  1. Messaging
  • Specifically don't bug the console on bad markup; test it first
  • P_Printf doesn't work in server mode

  1. Test ECI again

  2. Lift artificial limit on players

  • bitmaps, basically
  1. Add spectators
  • This is essentially reworking the logic between playeringame, players, and walkcamera/spycam
  • Move all the SV_* calls to netpeer_t instead of playernum; eventually these will apply to peers that are just spectators
  • Probably also take this opportunity to remove server-as-player hack
    • Use a camera in non-headless mode (add non-headless mode???)
  1. Remove 4 player restriction

:::: Alpha Release Here ::::

  1. Move configuration into scripting
  • Refactor screens
    • From what I can tell:
      • screens[0] is the foreground for HUD, status bar, finale, and menu
      • screens[1] is kept blank to erase screens[0] ...although it looks like everything in r_draw.c uses it...
      • screens[2] and screens[3] are used for the screen wipe (src and dst respectively)
      • screens[4] is the STBAR background
    • V_CopyRect
    • V_FillFlat
    • V_FillPatch
    • V_DrawBackground
    • V_DrawMemPatch
    • V_DrawNumPatch
    • V_DrawLine
      • Uses screen[0] always, via PUTDOT -> V_PlotPixel(0, ...)
    • V_FillRect
    • V_PlotPixel
  1. Add maplist
  • Add map command
  1. Add RCON
  • Need a way to intercept console I/O
  1. Build master server
  • Create a server description specification in JSON
  1. Add WAD downloading
  • cURL
  • the client should do this between frames in case it needs to download a huge file (or a file from a slow server); libcurl ought to make this pretty easy

:::: Beta Release Here ::::

  1. Add 3D physics

  2. Add ZDoom physics

  • Including ZDoom SSG spread

  1. Add SNDCURVE lump support

  2. Improve PWO

  • Probably this is just gonna be a script
    • How to not send an arbitrary script to the server though...?
    • Does it make sense to have scripting contexts per-client serverside?
    • How to configure a script, since it can't be in d2k_config.lua?
    • There should maybe be a local_config.lua file that runs after config processing takes place, to modify and augment the loaded config
  1. C/S Demos
  • serverside
  • clientside
  1. Add announcer

:::: Version 1 - DEATHMATCH Capable :::

  1. Add slopes

  2. Add teams

  3. Add Hexen map support

  4. Add scripted game modes

:: Suitable For Competition Here ::

Smaller Issues

  1. Add error codes to n_proto

  2. Servers shouldn't quit, they should shutdown; also prevents accidentally running /quit in the console instead of :quit and closing the server....

  3. Add auto-scroll to TextWidget

  4. Update/Mirror dependencies somewhere

  • It would be really cool to use the pacman/pkgbuild system and mirror source also
  1. Manually delta compress commands (serverside and clientside)
  • bitmap:
    • index changed = 1
    • tic changed = 2
    • server_tic changed = 4
    • forward changed = 8
    • side changed = 16
    • angle changed = 32
    • buttons changed = 64
  • then deltas:
    • All diffs are char except for angle, which is a short
    • Effectively limits lag to 255 commands, which is way more than enough

Hypothetically: { 4096, 4012, 4008, 50, 50, 180, 1 } // 17 bytes { 4097, 4013, 4008, 50, 50, 180, 1 } // 17 bytes // Total: 34

Becomes: { 4096, 4012, 4008, 50, 50, 180, 1 } // 17 bytes { 3, 1, 1} // 3 bytes // Total: 20, saved: 14

  1. Implement actor vectors
  • Send movement start TIC
  • x/y/z represent the start position at time of last velocity change
  • More amenable to delta compression
  • Easier to nudge projectiles
  1. Add projectile nudging
  • Projectiles are currently predicted, thus they usually appear ahead of where they normally would
  • Projectile nudging would spawn the projectile normally (i.e., right in front of the firing player) with a higher-than-normal velocity, and then adjust the velocity downwards based on the client's lag and a preselected function (curve)

Future/Possible

  1. Remove software renderer
  • See about implementing Doom lighting and 8-bit color using shaders
