materials.txt and sentences.txt are now sent to clients by copying the contents into a JSON file and making the client download and read the file.1:
networkdata/data.json. Using the same name simplifies things and takes advantage of the engine's automatic change detection to regenerate the BZip2 compressed version networkdata/data.json.ztmp which helps to avoid polluting dedicated servers with many old compressed versions. The average compression ratio is about 79% meaning a file with size 100KiB is compressed to a file that's about 21KiB.1.2.3.4_port. This would make the filename unique for each server. The client has the server's IP address so this should work, but whether this will actually work or not remains to be seen.sv_filetransfermaxsize cvar. File size shouldn't be a problem but if it does the first thing to do is investigate replacing JSON with a message format like Protobuf.cl_dlmax cvar.materials.txt and sentences.txt changesmaterials.txt parser now properly handles comments. Previously a line starting with / was treated as a comment instead of any occurence of // as expected.materials.txt and sentences.txt are now sent to the client. This ensures that the client works with the same data as the client.{

As the branch name implies this does not work, it has been added to show people how far its development got and which portions were finished and how.

}VidInit call is now done using the list instead of manually calling each element as is done in the original SDK.std::vector. Previously all three variables representing hud sprites were in separate dynamically allocated arrays:
// the memory for these arrays are allocated in the first call to CHud::VidInit(), when the hud.txt and associated sprites are loaded.

};m_pSpriteList) is now freed once all sprites have been loaded into the hud sprite list.

It is possible to create more than 2048 entities as long as entities with an index exceeding this don't have any physical presence in the world (i.e. no model, non-solid, no movement) but since the entity index cannot be chosen when creating entities this is impractical. The game will crash in the server-side player physics code if solid entities are created, presumably because that system is hard-coded to a maximum of 900 solid/visible entities with no bounds checkingdelta.lst to the archive again (was accidentally removed in the previous beta)
