Community made patches and improvements

[MirceaKitsune]

What about using only 3 or 4 maps per game type run, and not 5?

Well I wanted to have DM and TDM be longer, since these two need to be of a more considerable stuff. But I can probably try and delete at least one map from each... maybe make dom 5 maps instead of 6. That's one thing I will try and look into, yeah. Will post when I'm done with changes on that.

[MirceaKitsune]

Done. I made a few more updates and removed 3 levels, one from DM, one from TDM and one from DOM, all of them doubles (32 levels now in total, much better ). There is only a single replay at dieselpower which likely shouldn't harm anyone though.

Keyhunt is an exception to this however due to lack of new maps for it, and in Keyhunt 3 levels from previous series are replayed. Not much I can do here I think and anyway that should be an interesting replay before the championship and returning to previous maps but with different rules should make Keyhunt feel more special. Tell me what you think and other changes which might need done.

I decided to try and make another menu patch today to change and fix a few very small things, generally to make the menus prettier. This is what I did:

- In Player Settings, I moved the View Bobbing slider after the Field of View one, as I think it's more suited there rather then after Zooming. The fact it has a checkbox at the beginning also gives the feeling of it being a sub-setting to the FOV which looks good.

- Made Zoom Speed a slider without a checkbox from 0 to 8 rather then a slider with a checkbox from 1 to 8, so all Zoom Something:'s look the same and appear better arranged in line. Looks better like this and there wasn't much of a difference between turning it on or off from a checkbox and sliding it to 0 (separate change from the above).

- Changed some spaces in the Weapon Settings window. The "Use for weapon cycling" setting now looks like a sub-setting of the weapon priority list which I think better describes what it's about.

- In the same file as above, the "1st person weapon model" option should be separated from weapon cycling and switching settings as it's about something totally different and from a different category.

- Fixed a bug in the Effects menu with the Geometry Quality slider. There were two settings for the slider both named Low. I renamed the lowest of the two to Lowest.

- Moved a spacing around Deluxe Mapping which I think looks much better positioned that way (separate change from the above).

Looks better like this and there wasn't much of a difference between turning it on or off from a checkbox and sliding it to 0 (separate change from the above).

Absolutely no. 0 zooms faster (namely, instantly) than 1, so it can't be the minimum value of the slider.

- Changed some spaces in the Weapon Settings window. The "Use for weapon cycling" setting now looks like a sub-setting of the weapon priority list which I think better describes what it's about.

- In the same file as above, the "1st person weapon model" option should be separated from weapon cycling and switching settings as it's about something totally different and from a different category.

No fractional dialog height please. So, not applied yet.

No fractional dialog height please. So, not applied yet.

Fixed that over here. The space from the list and checkbox is a little bigger now but still looks good and as it should.

Sorry, useless in that form. HAd to take over all changes manually. Please psot patches as a file somewhere.

From what I knew one could make an empty text file, name it with the .patch extension and post the code in it and that would be the exact same thing. If that's not true I'll always post patches as .patch files from now one.

I think it would be helpful with patches if the forum allowed file uploads and attachments, even if files would be limited to 200kb or around that each for small patches, so free file hosts wouldn't need being used every time for every minor patch.

[divVerent]

The problem with this is that it matters whether something is a space or a tab, and the forum software appears to convert tabs to spaces.

As for uploads - no idea who can do that, and if phpBB even is able to support uploads.

[mand1nga]

uuencode and paste it here!

[Alien]

Phpbb supports file uploads (there should be a setting in control panel to allow attachments). Or nexuiz could go to trac, redmine or any other issue tracking system, which allows enhancement\bug patches upload.

[mand1nga]

Now I see we can use sourceforge for posting patches, the feature requests module allows file uploading.

[MirceaKitsune]

I host a phpBB 3.x forum on my server and phpbb certainly supports uploads. The forum admin needs to enable them from the Administrator Panel. If I remember correctly each forum / area may need individually specifying if files should be allowed to be uploaded in topics there or not, although I'm not sure. Then you can set how many files can be uploaded per message, how big each can be and the maximum upload size limit on the forum overall.
