Old version notes:

Wops! new version release with new stuff.. the people favorite R_Efflies 2, that force flies fx on dead bodies.
You can use EF_BRIGHTFIELD to use enable this effect, or set a invisible model to use_FLIES1, example:

fx_invismodelflies.mdl
{
    use_FLIES1

}

place this code in your models.txt file.

Another interesting feature is ***ALFA*** .md3 support. The loader work, and for some decors stuff you can use .md3 files. No multipart support. No good alpha support. No players support. Untested for weapons. Untested poly limits.

And the last big one is makula & tei  rskybox!. Now you can use animated skybox. Place a skybox.txt file in your script folder, with that content:

0
{   
    file snow1
    delay 0.4
}

1
{ 
  file snow1
   delay 0.5
}

This will force a animation cicle from snow1 to snow1. You can have a maximun to 99 frames. Place your env skybox in gfx/env/ has usual.

From years the Client/Server architecture where broken. Maybe from TomazQuake engines... and now.. Where FIXED!.. you can now use Telejano as a dedicated server, or a network client, and you can mix Telejano and Darkplaces engines in the Server/Client rol, for Standard Quake games.

This is my testbed:

start telejano5 -dedicated +map dm6
start telejano5 +connect localhost

this work in my system. If crash in your system/lan/internet, please do that:

start telejano5 -dedicated +map dm6 +impaim 0
start telejano5 +connect localhost -condebug +impaim 0

..and send me a qconsole.zip file (the qconsole.log is in your mod/id1 folder)

About menus:

slider : usefull to draw sliders
combobox : usefull to work with combobox
mul: to mult or div values
add: to add or substract values
bound : to bound to a range
concat : to concat strings
toggle: now toggle support a range
menu : load a menu ("menu main" to load a main.menu.txt file )
Old command vars Inc, Dec, Mov work the same as before.

menu_image : background menu image, you can provide a custom background image for your localmenus

Local Menus suggestions:

Standard LocalMenus where crap. You can design much better and usefull menus. Whe need menus for mods with tons of options. Menus for "ridiculous remote", etc..

- - -

Menus!... fixed the sound menu, added keys to others menus. Finished the localmenus stuff.

Show localmenus with "exec main.menu.txt" command. Move in the menu with the "[" and "]" keys.
Select options with "ENTER" key.

You can customize your localmenus. If you have a interesting localmenu for mod <name of your prefered mod> send me and will list at the telejano web page.

- - -

Some stuff.. and HUD entitys. Example:

void () TestHUD=
{
 local vector org;
 local entity hud;
 hud = spawn();
 setmodel(hud,"pics/tex.pcx");
 org_x = 10;//x
 org_y = 10;//y
 org_z = 2;//ORG_ type

 hud.origin = org;
 hud.alpha =1;//alpha

};

- - -

JPG support, singleplayer optimizations, new grass layer.

The new layer work with key "grass2", the spec is:

grass2 <name model> <density seed>

Example:

texturename
{
grass textures/rock.mdl 0.5
grass2 textures/grassx.mdl 0.8
}

By gamers request, this cvar now will save to .cfg file:

cl_sidespeed
cl_forwardspeed
cl_backspeed
cl_upspeed
sv_maxspeed
sv_gravity

Hee... underwater fx from QMB engine. GeoDetails that improve lighting with a subtel random light pattern.

And r_autobubbles for a automatically generation of buubles nderwater.

try:

If you get the wrong thing(all blue). Deactivate this stuff and the old gl_detail stuff.

- - -

I dont remenber, because I am working in the SPX engine. Maybe only the fix for .spr entitys

to get MFX_ effect aplied. Test Prydon Gate with this engine to see a fire.spr enhanced.

No new features, only fix and optimizations:

Support for ".TPAK" files. A .tpak file is a .pak file. The new extension is only for Telejano. Can help people to generate content Only for telejano, and mantain compatibility for others engines. With .tpak files, you can force a progs.dat for general engines, and other (inside the .tpak file) for Telejano.

- - -


r_autozing 0/1/...M (good value is 200~300)
generate random thunders from sky
(default off)

mod_cityofangels 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/666

minor fixeds and speedups

- - -

mod_showlight 0/1
show light entitys in the level
(default off)

r_autofluor 0/1/2/3/4
generate flares from light_fluoro "light" sources. (Default level 2)

minor fixeds and speedups

- - -

Not soo much. Internal new architecture for Hazes and "fx_" models. Now is not needed
a REAL null model. The engine as a hardcoded null model. Because that, the new telejano.mdl
dont need these "fx_" models. If you need old teiq engines, please unpak first these old
fx_* models. Then install the new telejano.pak as usual.
Not need of teipartex.pak file!, the telejano.pak itself pak is files. This simplifice managing.

From old version (i forget this):
"mod_showlight" ... show light entitys of level. Usefull for mappers, and curious people :D

By suggestion of Makulo, a new light_fluoro handling is designed. BETA level!
now look cool but its not smart. Then only can draw from ceil light, and is draw from wall
lights not show 100% ok. Will try to improve this.

Anyway, It work. Test in this maps: e4m1 (cool!) and dm3 (humm...)

The default level for fx is too high. (i have forget to raise down for release)
r_autofluor 0/1/2/3..5/6
default value is 5, please raise down to 3 that is a safe value for fps.
value 6 is reserved for true makule volumetric-light emulation (with focus particle,
with the haze particles, or with a new special flare (directional flares?).

Planning:
Time over to code something about ambient sound, but i will look for good rains sounds, and lava
sounds sooon. And... maybe, windtunnels sounds... (maybe)

- - -

External particles textures ALFA SUPPORT, place external .tga files in your <textures>/particle folder. Maybe "quake\id1\textures\particles" or "quake\mod\textures\particles". ALFA set provided. Please, post in the wiki url to new PublicDomain or GPL particles sets. (will test substitutions ..)

gl_decalfolder <mapmodel folder>

Not a usefull one :I , that make a smart substitution of load models, yo call *tree.mdl, then is load from <mapmodel folder>. You can set <mapmodel folder> to alienmapmodels, metalmodels, junglemodels,etc.. This and gl_themefolder fill the "theme" barrier. ( default "mapmodel" )

gl_themefolder <texture folder>

A very cool one!.. ( designed for "Durandal:Myrmidoom" )
you can change on-the-fly (map loading) the folder where the textures is search. This open the way to work with "themes". Ex: Jungle, Desert, Dust, Darklands, Metal, Blood, etc.. just with different sets of textures (.tga, .pcx.. )

( default value "textures" )
