16 float(string s) checkextension = #99;
18 //check if (cvar("pr_checkextension")) before calling this, this is the only
19 //guaranteed extension to be present in the extension system, it allows you
20 //to check if an extension is available, by name, to check for an extension

30 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
32 //indicates the engine supports .wal textures for filenames in the textures/ directory
33 //(note: DarkPlaces has supported this since 2001 or 2002, but did not advertise it as an extension, then I noticed Betwix was advertising it and added the extension accordingly)
37 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
41 //true if the player is currently chatting (in messagemode, menus or console)
45 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
48 //client console commands:
52 //made +use and -use commands work, they now control the .buttonuse field (.button1 was used by many mods for other purposes).
55 //idea: Nehahra, LordHavoc
56 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
57 //client console commands:
58 //"loadsky" (parameters: "basename", example: "mtnsun_" would load "mtnsun_up.tga" and "mtnsun_rt.tga" and similar names, use "" to revert to quake sky, note: this is the same as Quake2 skybox naming)
60 //sets global skybox for the map for this client (can be stuffed to a client by QC), does not hurt much to repeatedly execute this command, please don't use this in mods if it can be avoided (only if changing skybox is REALLY needed, otherwise please use DP_GFX_SKYBOX).
64 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
66 //indicates this engine supports the "set" console command which creates or sets a non-archived cvar (not saved to config.cfg on exit), it is recommended that set and seta commands be placed in default.cfg for mod-specific cvars.
70 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
72 //indicates this engine supports the "seta" console command which creates or sets an archived cvar (saved to config.cfg on exit), it is recommended that set and seta commands be placed in default.cfg for mod-specific cvars.
74 //DP_CON_ALIASPARAMETERS
76 //darkplaces implementation: Black
78 //indicates this engine supports aliases containing $1 through $9 parameter macros (which when called will expand to the parameters passed to the alias, for example alias test "say $2 $1", then you can type test hi there and it will execute say there hi), as well as $0 (name of the alias) and $* (all parameters $1 onward).
82 //darkplaces implementation: Black
84 //indicates this engine supports console commandlines containing $cvarname which will expand to the contents of that cvar as a parameter, for instance say my fov is $fov, will say "my fov is 90", or similar.
88 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
90 //adds two engine-called aliases named startmap_sp and startmap_dm which are called when the engine tries to start a singleplayer game from the menu (startmap_sp) or the -listen or -dedicated options are used or the engine is a dedicated server (uses startmap_dm), these allow a mod or game to specify their own map instead of start, and also distinguish between singleplayer and -listen/-dedicated, also these need not be a simple "map start" command, they can do other things if desired, startmap_sp and startmap_dm both default to "map start".

157 //other entities - no effect
159 //disabling gun bobbing on a diving mask or other model used as a .viewmodel.
160 //disabling gun bobbing on view-relative models meant to be part of the heads up display. (note: if fov is changed these entities may be off-screen, or too near the center of the screen, so use fov 90 in this case)

212 //DP_ENT_CUSTOMCOLORMAP
214 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
216 //if .colormap is set to 1024 + pants + shirt * 16, those colors will be used for colormapping the entity, rather than looking up a colormap by player number.
219 //NOTE: no longer supported by darkplaces because all entities are delta compressed now
220 //DP_ENT_DELTACOMPRESS // no longer supported
222 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
224 float EF_DELTA = 8388608;
226 //(obsolete) applies delta compression to the network updates of the entity, making updates smaller, this might cause some unreliable behavior in packet loss situations, so it should only be used on numerous (nails/plasma shots/etc) or unimportant objects (gibs/shell casings/bullet holes/etc).

257 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
259 float EF_LOWPRECISION = 4194304;
261 //uses low quality origin coordinates, reducing network traffic compared to the default high precision, intended for numerous objects (projectiles/gibs/bullet holes/etc).
265 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
269 //controls rendering scale of the object, 0 is forced to be 1, darkplaces uses 1/16th accuracy and a limit of 15.9375, can be used to make an object larger or smaller.
273 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
275 .entity viewmodelforclient;
277 //this is a very special capability, attachs the entity to the view of the client specified, origin and angles become relative to the view of that client, all effects can be used (multiple skins on a weapon model etc)... the entity is not visible to any other client.

304 //darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
306 //loads external textures found in various directories (tenebrae compatible)...
308 in all examples .tga is merely the base texture, it can be any of these:
310 _glow.tga (fullbrights or other glowing overlay stuff, NOTE: this is done using additive blend, not alpha)
311 _pants.tga (pants overlay for colormapping on models, this should be shades of grey (it is tinted by pants color) and black wherever the base texture is not black, as this is an additive blend)
312 _shirt.tga (same idea as pants, but for shirt color)
313 _diffuse.tga (this may be used instead of base texture for per pixel lighting)
314 _gloss.tga (specular texture for per pixel lighting, note this can be in color (tenebrae only supports greyscale))
315 _norm.tga (normalmap texture for per pixel lighting)
316 _bump.tga (bumpmap, converted to normalmap at load time, supported only for reasons of tenebrae compatibility)
317 _luma.tga (same as _glow but supported only for reasons of tenebrae compatibility)
319 due to glquake's incomplete Targa(r) loader, this section describes
320 required Targa(r) features support:
322 type 1 (uncompressed 8bit paletted with 24bit/32bit palette)
323 type 2 (uncompressed 24bit/32bit true color, glquake supported this)
324 type 3 (uncompressed 8bit greyscale)
325 type 9 (RLE compressed 8bit paletted with 24bit/32bit palette)
326 type 10 (RLE compressed 24bit/32bit true color, glquake supported this)
327 type 11 (RLE compressed 8bit greyscale)
328 attribute bit 0x20 (Origin At Top Left, top to bottom, left to right)
330 image formats guaranteed to be supported: tga, pcx, lmp
331 image formats that are optional: png, jpg
333 mdl/spr/spr32 examples:
334 skins are named _A (A being a number) and skingroups are named like _A_B
335 these act as suffixes on the model name...
336 example names for skin _2_1 of model "progs/armor.mdl":
337 game/override/progs/armor.mdl_2_1.tga
338 game/textures/progs/armor.mdl_2_1.tga
339 game/progs/armor.mdl_2_1.tga
340 example names for skin _0 of the model "progs/armor.mdl":
341 game/override/progs/armor.mdl_0.tga
342 game/textures/progs/armor.mdl_0.tga
343 game/progs/armor.mdl_0.tga
344 note that there can be more skins files (of the _0 naming) than the mdl
345 contains, this is only useful to save space in the .mdl file if classic quake
346 compatibility is not a concern.
348 bsp/md2/md3 examples:

1188 //darkplaces implementation: [515] and LordHavoc
1189 //field definitions:
1190 .float() customizeentityforclient; // self = this entity, other = client entity
1192 //allows qc to modify an entity before it is sent to each client, the function returns TRUE if it should send, FALSE if it should not, and is fully capable of editing the entity's fields, this allows cloaked players to appear less transparent to their teammates, navigation markers to only show to their team, etc
1193 //tips on writing customize functions:
1194 //it is a good idea to return FALSE early in the function if possible to reduce cpu usage, because this function may be called many thousands of times per frame if there are many customized entities on a 64+ player server.
1195 //you are free to change anything in self, but please do not change any other entities (the results may be very inconsistent).
1196 //example ideas for use of this extension:
1197 //making icons over teammates' heads which are only visible to teammates. for exasmple: float() playericon_customizeentityforclient = {return self.owner.team == other.team;};
1198 //making cloaked players more visible to their teammates than their enemies. for example: float() player_customizeentityforclient = {if (self.items & IT_CLOAKING) {if (self.team == other.team) self.alpha = 0.6;else self.alpha = 0.1;} return TRUE;};
1199 //making explosion models that face the viewer (does not work well with chase_active). for example: float() explosion_customizeentityforclient = {self.angles = vectoangles(other.origin + other.view_ofs - self.origin);self.angles_x = 0 - self.angles_x;};
1200 //implementation notes:
1201 //entity customization is done before per-client culling (visibility for instance) because the entity may be doing setorigin to display itself in different locations on different clients, may be altering its .modelindex, .effects and other fields important to culling, so customized entities increase cpu usage (non-customized entities can use all the early culling they want however, as they are not changing on a per client basis).
