Spearmint 0.1

Spearmint is a engine based on ioquake3 that is not compatible with (io)quake3 mods and demo replays.

Some of the many changes:

• Four player splitscreen support.
• Bullet marks on doors and moving platforms.
• Gibs and bullet shells ride moving platforms.
• Aspect correct wide screen FOV and HUD in Q3A.
• Improved Bot AI.
• Improved gamepad support.
• Improved third person view.
• Smooth corpse sinking.
• Player shadow moves with animations.
• PNG screenshots (with ext data containing map name and player origin, etc).
• In multiplayer with gibs disabled, bodies no longer become invisible when gibbed.
• Option to fade out explosion lights instead of shrinking them (set cg_fadeExplosions cvar to 1).
• Many modding improvements (moved a lot of code into VMs, new API calls, new shader keywords, etc).

Modding differences from ioquake3:

• It is possible to do a lot more without modifying the engine.
• New features for the modding APIs and shader files.
• Split engine and game code into separate projects.
• Not compatible with Quake 3 mods (QVMs/DLLs) or replay demos.
• It's possible to extend the entityState_t and playerState_t data structures without changing the engine.
• Merged UI VM into CGame VM so the CGame<->UI communication is more flexible.
• Moved a lot of code from server and client to Game and CGame VMs;
  • including the console, chat input overlay, usercmd_t creation, and a lot of bot AI code.
