'1' uses fov and scopefov of the spectated player, '0' uses spectfov
and the local scopefov, default is '0'
maxrollremote sets the maximum roll to be shown during spectating

The demo data is collected, hashed and compressed fully in memory, mostly
in a worker thread.
While in memory, each demo is identified by an unique sequence number,
which is, for example, used to request a download by the client.
If so configured, the demo is written to file by the worker thread.
If F10 is pressed later than two minutes into the next game, instead of
downloading the last game, the current game is scheduled to be
automatically downloaded when it ends.
At the end of a game, all clients and the server sign the demo file.
Server owners can overwrite values on a server, which then don't get
updated from file anymore. With a reset command, all parameters get read
from file again. Implemented as "serverextensions".
serverextension servpar::get parname
print parname and value
serverextension servpar::set parname:value
set parname to value
also disables reading of this parameter from file (otherwise, the
new value wouldn't last very long)
serverextension servpar::reset
set all parameters to be read from file again
serverextension servpar::dump
prints unsorted list of all parameters, values, limits and descriptions
mapartist print|set|get|clear
print: prints the map artist player ID
set: sets the map artist player ID to the currently logged in player
get: returns the current map artist player ID
clear: erases an existing map artist record in the current map
modeinfo list|get|clear|<modelist> <modeflags>
list: lists current modeinfo entries
get: returns list of current modeinfo entries

<modelist> <modeflags>: specifies flags for a list of modes

The server keeps track of every player ID that ever connected successfully.
This database stores the last names and IPs used by the player and the
last countries the connections came from. Some stats are counted, like
"time connected" and "total tks". Most importantly, the database stores
rights (like admin) and restrictions (like ban). All rights and
restrictions are kept as dates (or timecodes), so, for example, if your
ban date is in the future, you are banned - and if it's in the past, you
can play. The collected stats are meant to help server owners at managing
players - especially, if they want to give someone admin rights.
The database is periodically saved to a file and read from that file on
startup. The default file is config/servervita.cfg and one backup is kept
in config/servervita_bak.cfg. During server start, if the regular file
can't be loaded, the backup is tried instead.
While the server is running, it checks periodically for a file named
config/servervita_update.cfg, and if the file exists, it is renamed to
a backup filename including a timecode and read and merged into the
database. The automatic rename makes sure, that a file is only read once.
Using such updates, a server owner can easily give several people admin
rights or for example, add clan tags for a whole list of IDs. (Yes, the
database also stores a clan tag for every ID...)
The database also stores two short comments for every ID. One can only be
read by server admins, but the other one is public. The public reason, for
example, can state a reason for a ban.
One database record takes up 264 bytes of RAM. During autosave, accounts,
that have not been used for a specified time (default 12 months), will
not be written. After a server restart, those old records will be gone.
Currently, there is no process in place, to also clean up old records
from RAM. Maybe, that'll be added later...
Instead of a list of specific map+mode combinations the maprot now only
contains general rules for maps and game modes. The server then calculates
the list by itself when needed. The server accounts played maps and modes
(and map+mode combinations) and calculates the list specifically not to
overplay maps or modes.
May need further testing.
- collect most sound infos in one table and use it to generate the menus
- no more sound category checks with ranges
- now only PAINx and FOOTSTEP* sounds use hardcoded index numbers
enumsounds <list of categories>
Lists sound index numbers and short descriptions for all sounds of one
or more categories. The argument should contain one or more of PAIN,
OWNPAIN, WEAPON, PICKUP, MOVEMENT, BULLET, OTHER, VOICECOM, TEAM,
PUBLIC, FFA, FLAGONLY. All sounds with at least one of the flags will
be listed. Flag names prefixed with "!" will exclude all matching
sound from the list.
Example: /echo (enumsounds "VOICECOM !PUBLIC") will list all voicecom
sounds that are for teams only.

The edit protocol now allows the following commands in multiplayer:
arch, slope, edittag, edittagclip, selectionrotate, selectionflip
also:
mapenlarge has been limited to size 10 in multiplayer
entitiy undelete in multiplayer has been fixed
SV_EDITS, SV_EDITD and SV_EDITE are to be cleaned up with a protocol bump
DOCREF arch slope edittag edittagclip selectionrotate selectionflip
Attribute 7 of clip- and plclip-entities now allows four different shapes
for the clips:
0: basic rectangular (like in older AC versions)
1: tilted in direction of x-axis
2: tilted in direction of y-axis
3: rotated by 45 degrees
The shapes 1 and 2 use the value of attr6 as slope angle.
The player only can walk upwards a tilted clip, if the height (attr4) is
at least 0.6 cubes. Slopes steeper than 5.0 can not be walked up (same
maximum step size as for sloped map geometry).
Mappers, please keep in mind: especially tilted clips are more expensive
than regular clips, but they are much cheaper than stairs built from a
bunch of regular clips. Large and small clips cost exactly the same, so
try to combine clips to keep the total number down.
For example, direction angle values can be reduced to +- 360 degree.
(0..360 would be sufficient, but some people like their angles negative)
This is not a reduction of functionality or a security measure - it's for
convenience only: values now wrap around at the borders of their useful
ranges.
Interpret the values for entity yaw angles and clip entity sizes as
fifths or tenths of cubes or degree.
This makes some entity attributes appear as float values to the user.
The map file still only keeps integer values - but now they are
interpreted differently - for example, a health pack elevation value of 6
now means 0.6 cubes instead of 6.
Note: the scaling factors are hardcoded - use ENTSCALE5 or ENTSCALE10
whereever possible. For generic entity editing, the scaling values are
also stored in entscale[] - but that table can not be changed without
breaking the map format! This scaling is similar to the treatment of the
vdelta values of map cubes.
* new command "listoptions" lists the argument options for several
argument types like entities, weapons and teamnames
* "burstshots", "weapon", "magcontent", "magreserve", "fragmessage" and
"gibmessage" now allow guns to be specified by name
* "addpunct" allows plaintext arguments like "brackets" and "quotes"
* the "team" command now understands numeric teams
* entity types can now be specified by type index number
* removed some lists from the config files (now provided by listoptions)
* added argument completion for several commands
* change nextprimary from integer to string variable
