OTHER:

SOURCE CODE: Challenge Quake 3 executable 1.42

The latest update of the Promode mod and Challenge executable are now ready for download. All players should upgrade to 1.46 and the executable is highly recommended but not required. Server admins should also consider upgrading to the Challenge executable, it offers fixed event handling that ensures MVDs are correctly recorded.

This is mainly a maintainance release with the noticable changes for players being the return of the old lightning gun styles for CPMA and sound improvements and a memory leak fix for Challenge Quake 3.

IMPORTANT: the partial fix to the sound memory leak means that sound megs are now taken from the com_hunkmegs allocation. You do not need to set com_soundmegs to more than 8 and with a com_hunkmeg value of 64 or more you should be fine, if you have an unnecessarily high sound megs value like 64 and only 128 or less megs in the hunk then the game will crash. Fix it by setting sensible values.

Challenge Quake 3 1.42 changelog

Bots are no longer kicked by devmap

legacy cack like joystick/midi support only pollutes configs if enabled

fixed a memory leak in the sound code

fixed even more (hopefully all) dropped sound issues in snd_dma

made com_soundmegs SLIGHTLY less broken: now only 2x instead of 3x
note that "soundmegs" are taken FROM THE HUNK now to fix the leak
so you need to increase com_hunkmegs by 2x your com_soundmegs

removed the explicit and incorrect "fastsky==1 == disable portals" test

r_noportals is not a cheat var

hyperspace is a bit less annoying

purged the unused (never finished) idMD4 model code

fixed some bugs in referencedpak list generation

fixed roqs ignoring s_volume

fixed widescreen modes crashing on listen servers

fixed downloads not completing properly
