Animations

AI

  • AI can now be told to notice whether lights have been extinguished or "switched off" and will now RELIGHT them.
  • AI can now be made to follow other AI paths with an easier spawnarg method

GUI

  • In fixing #2613 a new CVAR "r_fovRatio" was added (Tels), this defines the ratio between X and Y FOV and can be used setup arbitrary wide-screen or multi-monitor resolutions:
FOV 16:10 on 1920x600 FOV 32:10 on 1920x600 (TDM v1.06)
  • The menu support now a couple more resolutions (1360x768, 1600x900, etc.) and more two aspect ratios (5:4 and 16:9 TV) (Tels)


Savegames

  • Savegames are now compressed on-the-fly, which reduces their size further by a factor of 2..4 depending on the mission. For example, saving at the start of "Heart" yielded 85 Mbyte with v1.03, 11 Mbyte with v1.04 and will yield 2.5 Mbyte with v1.06. (stgatilov)


Entities

  • New character head (Springheel)
  • New hanging wheel chandelier model (Springheel)
  • New door handle model (Springheel)
