The intent of this project is to provide a baseline RTCW which may be used
for further development and fun. 
Some of the major features currently implemented are:

  * SDL backend
  * OpenAL sound API support (multiple speaker support and better sound
    quality)
  * Full x86_64 support
  * VoIP support, both in-game and external support through Mumble.
  * MinGW compilation support on Windows and cross compilation support on Linux
  * AVI video capture of demos
  * Much improved console autocompletion
  * Persistent console history
  * Colorized terminal output
  * Optional Ogg Vorbis support
  * Much improved QVM tools
  * Support for various esoteric operating systems
  * cl_guid support
  * HTTP/FTP download redirection (using cURL)
  * Multiuser support on Windows systems (user specific game data
    is stored in "My Documents\RTCW")
  * PNG support
  * Many, many bug fixes

The map editor and associated compiling tools are not included. We suggest you
use a modern copy from http://icculus.org/gtkradiant/.

The original id software readme that accompanied the RTCW source release has been
renamed to id-readme.txt so as to prevent confusion. Please refer to the
web-site for updated status.


--------------------------------------------- Compilation and installation -----

For *nix
  1. Change to the directory containing this readme.
  2. Run 'make'.

For Windows,
  1. Please refer to the excellent instructions here: 
     http://wiki.ioquake3.org/Building_ioquake3

For Mac OS X, building a Universal Binary
  1. Install MacOSX SDK packages from XCode.  For maximum compatibility,
     install MacOSX10.4u.sdk and MacOSX10.3.9.sdk, and MacOSX10.2.8.sdk.
  2. Change to the directory containing this README file.
  3. Run './make-macosx-ub.sh'
  4. Copy the resulting iowolfmp.app or iowolfsp.app in /build/release-darwin-ub to your
     /Applications/iortcw folder.

Installation, for *nix
  1. Set the COPYDIR variable in the shell to be where you installed RTCW
     to. By default it will be /usr/local/games/wolf if you haven't set it.
     This is the path as used by the original Linux RTCW installer and subsequent
     point releases.
  2. Run 'make copyfiles'.

It is also possible to cross compile for Windows under *nix and Cygwin using MinGW. Your
distribution may have mingw32 packages available. On debian/Ubuntu, you need to
install 'mingw-w64'. Thereafter cross compiling is simply a case running
'PLATFORM=mingw32 ARCH=x86 make' in place of 'make'. ARCH may also be set to
x86_64.

The following variables may be set, either on the command line or in
Makefile.local:

  CFLAGS             - use this for custom CFLAGS
  V                  - set to show cc command line when building
  DEFAULT_BASEDIR    - extra path to search for main and such

                       linking against system libraries; this just sets
		       the default for USE_INTERNAL_OPUS etc.
		       and USE_LOCAL_HEADERS
  USE_FREETYPE       - enable FreeType support for rendering fonts
  USE_INTERNAL_ZLIB  - build and link against internal zlib

Using shared libraries instead of qvm
  To force RTCW-MP to use qvms run it with the following
  parameters: +set sv_pure 0 +set vm_cgame 2 +set vm_game 2 +set vm_ui 2

Using Demo Data Files
  Copy demomain/pak0.pk3 from the demo installer to your main directory. The
  qvm files in this pak0.pk3 will not work, so you have to use the native
  shared libraries or qvms from this project. To use the new qvms, they must be
  put into a pk3 file. A pk3 file is just a zip file, so any compression tool
  that can create such files will work. The shared libraries should already be
  in the correct place. Use the instructions above to use them.

  Please bear in mind that you will not be able to play online using the demo
  data, nor is it something that we like to spend much time maintaining or
  supporting.

Help! Iortcw won't give me an fps of X anymore when setting com_maxfps!
  Iortcw now uses the select() system call to wait for the rendering of the
  next frame when com_maxfps was hit. This will improve your CPU load
  considerably in these cases. However, not all systems may support a
  granularity for its timing functions that is required to perform this waiting
  correctly. For instance, iortcw tells select() to wait 2 milliseconds, but
  really it can only wait for a multiple of 5ms, i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20... ms.
  In this case you can always revert back to the old behaviour by setting the
  cvar com_busyWait to 1.

Using HTTP/FTP Download Support (Server)
  You can enable redirected downloads on your server even if it's not
  an iortcw server.  You simply need to use the 'sets' command to put
  the sv_dlURL cvar into your SERVERINFO string and ensure sv_allowDownloads
  is set to 1

  sv_dlURL is the base of the URL that contains your custom .pk3 files
  the client will append both fs_game and the filename to the end of
  this value.  For example, if you have sv_dlURL set to
  "http://yoursite.org", fs_game is "main", and the client is
  missing "test.pk3", it will attempt to download from the URL
  "http://yoursite.org/main/test.pk3"

  sv_allowDownload's value is now a bitmask made up of the following
  flags:
    1 - ENABLE
    4 - do not use UDP downloads
    8 - do not ask the client to disconnect when using HTTP/FTP

  Server operators who are concerned about potential "leeching" from their
  HTTP servers from other iortcw servers can make use of the HTTP_REFERER
  that iortcw sets which is "ioQ3://{SERVER_IP}:{SERVER_PORT}".  For,
  example, Apache's mod_rewrite can restrict access based on HTTP_REFERER.

  On a sidenote, downloading via UDP has been improved and yields higher data
  rates now. You can configure the maximum bandwidth for UDP downloads via the
  cvar sv_dlRate. Due to system-specific limits the download rate is capped
  at about 1 Mbyte/s per client, so curl downloading may still be faster.

Using HTTP/FTP Download Support (Client)
  Simply setting cl_allowDownload to 1 will enable HTTP/FTP downloads
  assuming iortcw was compiled with USE_CURL=1 (the default).
  like sv_allowDownload, cl_allowDownload also uses a bitmask value
  supporting the following flags:
    1 - ENABLE
    2 - do not use HTTP/FTP downloads
    4 - do not use UDP downloads

  When iortcw is built with USE_CURL_DLOPEN=1 (default on some platforms),
  it will use the value of the cvar cl_cURLLib as the filename of the cURL
  library to dynamically load.

Multiuser Support on Windows systems
  On Windows, all user specific files such as autogenerated configuration,
  demos, videos, screenshots, and autodownloaded pk3s are now saved in a
  directory specific to the user who is running iortcw.

  On NT-based such as Windows XP, this is usually a directory named:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\My Docuemtns\RTCW"

  Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME will use a directory like:
    "C:\Windows\My Documents\RTCW"
  in single-user mode, or:
    "C:\Windows\Profiles\%USERNAME%\My Documents\RTCW"
  if multiple logins have been enabled.

  In order to access this directory more easily, the installer may create a
  Shortcut which has its target set to:
    "%Userprofile%\My Documents"
  This Shortcut would work for all users on the system regardless of the
  locale settings.  Unfortunately, this environment variable is only
  present on Windows NT based systems.

  You can revert to the old single-user behaviour by setting the fs_homepath
  cvar to the directory where iortcw is installed.  For example:
    iowolfmp.exe +set fs_homepath "c:\iortcw"
or
    iowolfsp.exe +set fs_homepath "c:\iortcw"
  Note that this cvar MUST be set as a command line parameter.

SDL Keyboard Differences
  iortcw clients have different keyboard behaviour compared to the original
  RTTCW clients.

    * SDL > 1.2.9 does not support disabling dead key recognition. In order to
      send dead key characters (e.g. ~, ', `, and ^), you must key a Space (or
      sometimes the same character again) after the character to send it on
      many international keyboard layouts.

    * The SDL client supports many more keys than the original RTCW client.
      For example the keys: "Windows", "SysReq", "ScrollLock", and "Break".
      For non-US keyboards, all of the so called "World" keys are now supported
      as well as F13, F14, F15, and the country-specific mode/meta keys.

  On many international layouts the default console toggle keys are also dead
  keys, meaning that dropping the console potentially results in
  unintentionally initiating the keying of a dead key. Furthermore SDL 1.2's
  dead key support is broken by design and RTCW doesn't support non-ASCII text
  entry, so the chances are you won't get the correct character anyway.

  If you use such a keyboard layout, you can set the cvar cl_consoleKeys. This
  is a space delimited list of key names that will toggle the console. The key
  names are the usual RTCW names e.g. "~", "`", "c", "BACKSPACE", "PAUSE",
  "WINDOWS" etc. It's also possible to use ASCII characters, by hexadecimal
  number. Some example values for cl_consoleKeys:

    "~ ` 0x7e 0x60"           Toggle on ~ or ` (the default)
    "WINDOWS"                 Toggle on the Windows key
    "c"                       Toggle on the c key
    "0x43"                    Toggle on the C character (Shift-c)
    "PAUSE F1 PGUP"           Toggle on the Pause, F1 or Page Up keys

  Note that when you elect a set of console keys or characters, they cannot
  then be used for binding, nor will they generate characters when entering
  text. Also, in addition to the nominated console keys, Shift-ESC is hard
  coded to always toggle the console.

  QuakeLive mouse acceleration (patch and this text written by TTimo from id)
  I've been using an experimental mouse acceleration code for a while, and
  decided to make it available to everyone. Don't be too worried if you don't
  understand the explanations below, this is mostly intended for advanced
  players:
  To enable it, set cl_mouseAccelStyle 1 (0 is the default/legacy behavior)

  New style is controlled with 3 cvars:

  sensitivity
  cl_mouseAccel
  cl_mouseAccelOffset

  The old code (cl_mouseAccelStyle 0) can be difficult to calibrate because if
  you have a base sensitivity setup, as soon as you set a non zero acceleration
  your base sensitivity at low speeds will change as well. The other problem
  with style 0 is that you are stuck on a square (power of two) acceleration
  curve.

  The new code tries to solve both problems:

  Once you setup your sensitivity to feel comfortable and accurate enough for
  low mouse deltas with no acceleration (cl_mouseAccel 0), you can start
  increasing cl_mouseAccel and tweaking cl_mouseAccelOffset to get the
  amplification you want for high deltas with little effect on low mouse deltas.

  cl_mouseAccel is a power value. Should be >= 1, 2 will be the same power curve
  as style 0. The higher the value, the faster the amplification grows with the
  mouse delta.

  cl_mouseAccelOffset sets how much base mouse delta will be doubled by
  acceleration. The closer to zero you bring it, the more acceleration will
  happen at low speeds. This is also very useful if you are changing to a new
  mouse with higher dpi, if you go from 500 to 1000 dpi, you can divide your
  cl_mouseAccelOffset by two to keep the same overall 'feel' (you will likely
  gain in precision when you do that, but that is not related to mouse
  acceleration).

  Mouse acceleration is tricky to configure, and when you do you'll have to
  re-learn your aiming. But you will find that it's very much forth it in the
  long run.

  If you try the new acceleration code and start using it, I'd be very
  interested by your feedback.


---------------------------------------------------- README for Developers -----

64bit mods
  If you wish to compile external mods as shared libraries on a 64bit platform,
  and the mod source is derived from the id RTCW SDK, you will need to modify the
  interface code a little. Open the files ending in _syscalls.c and change
  every instance of int to intptr_t in the declaration of the syscall function
  pointer and the dllEntry function. Also find the vmMain function for each
  module (usually in cg_main.c g_main.c etc.) and similarly replace the return
  value in the prototype with intptr_t (arg0, arg1, ...stay int).

  Add the following code snippet to q_shared.h:

    #ifdef Q3_VM
    typedef int intptr_t;
    #else
    #include <stdint.h>
    #endif

Creating mods compatible with RTCW 1.41
  If you're using this package to create mods for the last official release of
  RTCW, it is necessary to pass the commandline option '-vq3' to your invocation
  of q3asm. This is because by default q3asm outputs an updated qvm format that
  is necessary to fix a bug involving the optimizing pass of the x86 vm JIT
  compiler.

Creating standalone games
  Have you finished the daunting task of removing all dependencies on the RTCW 
  game data? You probably now want to give your users the opportunity to play
  the game without owning a copy of RTCW, which consequently means removing cd-key
  and authentication server checks. In addition to being a straightforward RTCW
  client, iortcw also purports to be a reliable and stable code base on which
  to base your game project.

  However, before you start compiling your own version of iortcw, you have to
  ask yourself: Have we changed or will we need to change anything of importance
  in the engine?

  If your answer to this question is "no", it probably makes no sense to build
  your own binaries. Instead, you can just use the pre-built binaries on the
  website. Just make sure the game is called with:

    +set com_basegame <yournewbase>
    
  in any links/scripts you install for your users to start the game. The
  binary must not detect any original RTCW game pak files. If this
  condition is met, the game will set com_standalone to 1 and is then running
  in stand alone mode.
  
  If you want the engine to use a different directory in your homepath than
  e.g. "My Documents\RTCW" on Windows or ".wolf" on Linux, then set a new name at startup
  by adding
  
    +set com_homepath <homedirname>
  
  to the command line. You can also control which game name to use when talking
  to the master server:
  
    +set com_gamename <gamename>
  
  So clients requesting a server list will only receive servers that have a
  matching game name.
  
  Example line:
  
    +set com_basegame basefoo +set com_homepath .foo
    +set com_gamename foo


  If you really changed parts that would make vanilla iortcw incompatible with
  your mod, we have included another way to conveniently build a stand-alone
  binary. Just run make with the option BUILD_STANDALONE=1. Don't forget to edit
  the PRODUCT_NAME and subsequent #defines in qcommon/q_shared.h with
  information appropriate for your project.

  While a lot of work has been put into iortcw that you can benefit from free
  of charge, it does not mean that you have no obligations to fulfill. Please be
  aware that as soon as you start distributing your game with an engine based on
  our sources we expect you to fully comply with the requirements as stated in
  the GPL. That includes making sources and modifications you made to the
  iortcw engine as well as the game-code used to compile the .qvm files for
  the game logic freely available to everyone. Furthermore, note that the "RTCW
  Game Source License" prohibits distribution of mods that are intended to
  operate on a version of RTCW not sanctioned by id software:

    "with this Agreement, ID grants to you the non-exclusive and limited right
    to distribute copies of the Software ... for operation only with the full
    version of the software game QUAKE III ARENA"

  This means that if you're creating a standalone game, you cannot use said
  license on any portion of the product. As the only other license this code has
  been released under is the GPL, this is the only option.

  This does NOT mean that you cannot market this game commercially. The GPL does
  not prohibit commercial exploitation and all assets (e.g. textures, sounds,
  maps) created by yourself are your property and can be sold like every other
  game you find in stores.

Network protocols
  There are now two cvars that give you some degree of freedom over the reported
  protocol versions between clients and servers: "com_protocol" and
  "com_legacyprotocol".
  The reason for this is that some standalone games increased the protocol
  number even though nothing really changed in their protocol and the iortcw
  engine is still fully compatible.

  In order to harden the network protocol against UDP spoofing attacks a new
  network protocol was introduced that defends against such attacks.
  Unfortunately, this protocol will be incompatible to the original RTCW 1.4
  which is the latest official release from id.
  Luckily, iortcw has backwards compatibility, on the client as well as on the
  server. This means iortcw players can play on old servers just as iortcw
  servers are able to service old clients.

  The cvar "com_protocol" denotes the protocol version for the new hardened
  protocol, whereas the "com_legacyprotocol" cvar denotes the protocol version
  for the legacy protocol.
  If the value for "com_protocol" and "com_legacyprotocol" is identical, then
  the legacy protocol is always used. If "com_legacyprotocol" is set to 0, then
  support for the legacy protocol is disabled.
  
  Mods that use a standalone engine obviously do not require dual protocol
  support, and it is turned off if the engine is compiled with STANDALONE per
  default. If you desire backwards compatibility to older versions of your
  game you can still enable it in q_shared.h by defining
  LEGACY_PROTOCOL.

cl_guid Support
  cl_guid is a cvar which is part of the client's USERINFO string.  Its value
  is a 32 character string made up of [a-f] and [0-9] characters.  This
  value is pseudo-unique for every player.  Id's RTCW client also
  sets cl_guid, but only if Punkbuster is enabled on the client.

  If cl_guidServerUniq is non-zero (the default), then this value is also
  pseudo-unique for each server a client connects to (based on IP:PORT of
  the server).

  The purpose of cl_guid is to add an identifier for each player on
  a server.  This value can be reset by the client at any time so it's not
  useful for blocking access.  However, it can have at least two uses in
  your mod's game code:
    1) improve logging to allow statistical tools to index players by more
       than just name
    2) granting some weak admin rights to players without requiring passwords

PNG support
  iortcw supports the use of PNG (Portable Network Graphic) images as
  textures. It should be noted that the use of such images in a map will
  result in missing placeholder textures where the map is used with the id
  RTCW client or earlier versions of iortcw.

  Recent versions of GtkRadiant and q3map2 support PNG images without
  modification. However GtkRadiant is not aware that PNG textures are supported
  by iortcw. To change this behaviour open the file 'q3.game' in the 'games'
  directory of the GtkRadiant base directory with an editor and change the
  line:

    texturetypes="tga jpg"

  to

    texturetypes="tga jpg png"

  Restart GtkRadiant and PNG textures are now available.

Building with MinGW for pre Windows XP
  IPv6 support requires a header named "wspiapi.h" to abstract away from
  differences in earlier versions of Windows' IPv6 stack. There is no MinGW
  equivalent of this header and the Microsoft version is obviously not
  redistributable, so in its absence we're forced to require Windows XP.
  However if this header is acquired separately and placed in the qcommon/
  directory, this restriction is lifted.


------------------------------------------------------------- Contributing -----

Please send all patches to bugzilla (https://bugzilla.icculus.org), or join the
mailing list (http://lists.ioquake.org/listinfo.cgi/ioquake3-ioquake.org) and 
submit your patch there.  The best case scenario is that you submit your patch 
to bugzilla, and then post the URL to the mailing list.

The focus for ioq3 is to develop a stable base suitable for further development
and provide players with the same RTCW experience they've had for years. As
such ioq3 does not have any significant graphical enhancements and none are
planned at this time. However, improved graphics and sound patches will be
accepted as long as they are entirely optional, do not require new media and
are off by default.


--------------------------------------------- Building Official Installers -----

We need help getting automated installers on all the platforms that iortcw
supports. We don't necessarily care about all the installers being identical,
but we have some general guidelines:

  * Please include the id patch pk3s in your installer, which are available
    from http://ioquake3.org/patch-data/ subject to agreement to the id
    EULA. Your installer shall also ask the user to agree to this EULA (which
    is in the /web/include directory for your convenience) and subsequently
    refuse to continue the installation of the patch pk3s and pak0.pk3 if they
    do not.

  * Please don't require pak0.pk3, since not everyone using the engine
    plans on playing RTCW on it. It's fine to (optionally) assist the
    user in copying the file or tell them how.

  * It is fine to just install the binaries without requiring id EULA agreement,
    providing pak0.pk3 and the patch pk3s are not referred to or included in the
    installer.

  * Please include at least an SDL so/dylib/dll on every platform.

  * Please include an OpenAL so/dylib/dll, since every platform should be using
    it by now.

  * Please contact the mailing list when you've made your installer.

  * Please be prepared to alter your installer on the whim of the maintainers.

  * Your installer will be mirrored to an "official" directory, thus making it
    a done deal.
