ZDaemon 1.10.20 is now available; ZDaemon Launcher users will be able to update by going to Help -> Check for Updates. The Linux and BSD ZServ binaries are available via the Downloads page. This version contains several nice additions, improvements and fixes; for the full run-down you'll want to check out the changelog. Please note: Similar to the last release, 1.10.20 servers will require all players to update to the latest version. Some highlights: - Line special 'Teleport_NewMap' usage: if a nextmap entry is defined in the mapinfo and maplist for the map in question, when exiting as a result of triggering the special the server will switch to that specific map; if the map isn't present on the maplist a warning will be displayed. - Fixed the bad Y-offset for scaled textures. (See changelog for more information) - DDOM and KotH compass on the HUD are scaled to screen height now. - Added a new dmflag (DF3_NOSPY = 16) and an associated CVAR (sv_nospy). It blocks in all gamemodes spectating (for players), team radar and other players shown on the automap. - CVAR 'spy_trig_join' added. When activated it changes the view of spectators when a player joins the game. Settings can be: * list 0-6 like other spy triggers (see changelog). * $nickname. * #player_id (will automatically changed to $nickname). - Implementation of multi-threaded rendering. It can utilize more CPU cores for rendering, so it will increase the FPS when using SSAA. Controled by the "vid_render_threads" CVAR; can range from 1 up to 16: defaults to 8. - RGB adjustment for balancing screens or people with a reduced colour perception. Only two colours can be adjusted to a positive value to avoid brightness advantage. - Support for "unusual" gettable dehacked things has been added. (Click here for more information) - Pressing F1 in a sub menu will show the CVAR/command name of the selected entry. - Added a new option (vid_disk) to 'video options' that will enable the floppy disk graphic (STDISK) to display whenever a read or write event occurs. This mimics the old-school behaviour for when disk activity was detected. Our DeHackEd Supplement text documents have also been updated.
