I don't like the new gamma... depending how I set it, for atcs, the inside is too dark and the outside is too bright... My old setting was too bright everywhere.

EDIT: I only get this behavior on the AA server... wierd. Tremor basement has the same issue though, at least on ACR

Okay, I'm just coming back from years of not playing Trem so I want to make sure I'm doing this right:

1. Go to http://releases.mercenariesguild.net/client/win32/
2. Download tremulous.x86.exe
3. Download SDL.dll
4. Place tremulous.x86.exe in the Tremulous directory
5. Place SDL.dll in the Tremulous directory
6. Run game
7. Load mod
8. Kick butt

right?

You'll also want the other DLL files that are there as well: libfreetype and zlib. The "load mod" step is generally unnecessary since servers (sv_pure 1 ones, anyway) will load whatever mod is necessary on their own, assuming you have it. If you intend to play mods, you'll want to set cl_allowDownload 1 so that you can download them automatically from servers.

zlib? why is it needed?
Is freetype dll required to run the client?

This is dynamic loading.
are you loading the shared library at runtime?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_loading
Then why is the dll a requirement. If there is no freetype.dll then dont use truetype fonts
So do you have that fallback mechanism?

The dll is loaded at runtime, therefore this is dynamic linking. What we don't have on the other hand, is a fallback mechanism.

Are you using an international keyboard layout or anything unusual like that?

Build it again with BUILD_FREETYPE 0 in the Makefile if you don't like the oh-so-terrible burden of placing a second file in the same directory next to the first file.

Curl is an optional extra that isn't needed for operation.
Assuming this makes it into ioq3, then there is no reason for 1.2 to continue support for the old style fonts, not least of which because ttf font support is one of the big requirements for i18n.
Thus it makes sense to design ttf support with this in mind.

It uses freetype only once; to generate the textures and the dat files
After that it will use the textures directly

I'm talking about the console font. Yes, the texture fonts are generated from ttf fonts but they look horrid at high resolutions.

Lakitu7 would like to know the public's opinion on adding bloom to the MG client, as it seems to be a standard feature of every other unofficial Tremulous client. Currently, I use the MG client with bloom applied. It is very nice and it compliments Tremulous very well if configured right.

If anyone needs any screenshots with bloom enabled, please ask. I will be happy to provide them. I can also do side-by-side comparison shots.

Frame Buffer bloom looks better(also faster) But It will not work on old hardware.
...
My idea is please do not add bloom. There are many feature bloat clients floating around. Please keep it simple

It also blooms the entire screen(including the UI) which looks terrible.

The bloom code is very small(in fact I can paste it here without going over the character limit, I think) and would not really bloat the client that much. It includes one file(tr_bloom.c) and a few modifications to the renderer.
