Weapons
- QuakeC: Reorganized impulse list, YOUR WEAPON BINDS WILL NEED TO BE RESET.
- QuakeC: Tesla beam was rewritten for more reactive and predictable visuals on "Curved" and "Slightly Curved" settings.
- QuakeC: "Straight" beam now behaves more properly at all ranges
- QuakeC: Added new Tesla beam style cvar cl_tesla_skin (0 = default, 1 = wave, 2 = thin).
Loading Screens
- Engine: Added support for MenuQC loading screens (following FTE standard).
- QuakeC: Added new loading screen design, instead of still images.
Aim Assist
- QuakeC: Added aim-assist for controllers in singleplayer. This can be toggled with cvar cl_aimassist. This will only work against monsters, so there is no way it can be abused in multiplayer.
Netcode
- Engine: Changed viewangle networking from absolute to relative.
- QuakeC: Teleporters now use delta viewangles to prevent issues with desync on high ping.
- QuakeC: Fixed vibration on lifts caused by stairsmooth.
Monsters
- QuakeC: Moved monsters to CSQC. Should stop warping of monsters on stairs and around corners.
- QuakeC: Added velocity based knockback. Stops monsters from "building up" knockback and suddenly flying off in a direction once lifted off the ground.
- Engine: Fixed incorrect logic with trapezoid sound calculation.
Mapping
- QuakeC: Initial testing support of warpzonelib from Nehara. This is very incomplete.
