FIXES & UPDATES IN 1.0.4.0:
GENERAL:
- Copied map files can now be overwritten/deleted without quitting first.
- The console command "com_allowconsole" will stay set after leaving the game.
INTERFACE:
- Improved Game Browser sorting and filtering:
You can sort by up to three criteria, which will be displayed just under the
server list, with the more recently clicked criteria sorting first. For
example, to sort by ping time, then number of players, then gametype, click
them in the reverse order:
Click "GAMETYPE," then "PLAYERS," then "PING." The server list will be sorted
by the fastest ping, then the servers with the fewest players, then the
gametype.
Clicking a category more than once will keep its position as the primary
sorting criteria, but will change the sorting order.
After cycling through all available sort types, clicking the category a final
time will remove it from the sorting. Each criteria has specific behavior with
one or two clicks, as listed:
Favorite Server: Display only favorites, or only non-favorites.
Password Enabled: Display only locked server, or only unlocked servers.
Dedicated Server: Display only Dedicated servers, or only Listen servers.
Punkbuster Enabled: Display only PB-enabled servers, or only PB-disabled
servers.
Server Name: Sort server names A to Z, or Z to A.
Ping: Sort by ping Low to High, or High to Low.
Players: Sort by Players High to Low, High to Low (non-full),
Low to High, or Low to High (non-empty).
Gametype: Sort by Deathmatch, Team DM, Tournament, CTF, or Arena CTF.
Map: Sort by map CTF1 to DM9, or DM9 to CTF1.
- The Game Browser now displays more than 1000 servers.
- Fixed a problem with the refresh time on the Game Browser.
- Added a Game Browser filter for full or empty servers.
- Players can now connect to a server while the Game Browser is refreshing.
- Game Browser sorting will display the correct server information without the
need to refresh the list.
- Clicking anywhere on the scrollbar except the button itself will advance a
page up or down instead of shifting to that position.
- Non-full server sorting now disregards full servers.
- Game Browser hover window updates when sort order is changed.
- Fixed a Game Browser slowdown issue with high numbers of servers.
- Added Game Browser server list scrolling with the mousewheel, keyboard arrows
up/down, and keyboard Page Up/Page Down.
- The Game Browser hover window will only appear when mousing over a
highlighted server.
- Sorting by server name will now ignore colored names, brackets, etc.
MULTIPLAYER:
- The dedicated server window will now be titled with the si_name setting
instead of "Quake 4".
