Overview:

In addition to a number of new changes and updates, this 1.2 Point Release also

includes the changes from update 1.0.4.0, beta 1.0.5.0 and beta 1.0.5.2. If you

have not previously updated QUAKE 4, this update will bring your installation

completely up to date. If you have previously installed an earlier update, this

update can be installed over the earlier update(s) without problems - there is

no need to re-install previous updates released through the id Software

website. Doing so may adversely affect the proper functionality of your

installation.

PLEASE NOTE:

Older savegames will no longer work correctly once the 1.2 update is installed!

Any Friends List present will no longer be compatible with the 1.2 Point

Release, and will need to be rebuilt by the player after installation. In order

to support the characters "{" and "}" in player and clan names, a new format for

the friends list had to be created resulting in the unfortunate consequence

noted above.

Older demos will no longer work correctly once the 1.2 update is installed!

If you require additional QUAKE 4 technical support, please see the help system

that is included with the game.

Notes for mod users:

Due to the vast number of updates and new functionality in the 1.2 Point

Release, mods will have to be updated to the 1.2 code by each respective mod

author in order to run correctly on the 1.2 version of Quake 4. Information

regarding mods and news related to the Quake 4 SDK can be found at

http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/Quake4SDK. Activision does not provide any

technical support for mods.

Hyper-Threading Technology:

This update enables QUAKE 4 to take advantage of the Hyper-Threading Technology

of Intel(r) Dual core processors. Players who have computer systems with this

processor will notice significant performance gains in QUAKE 4. With the

update, systems with a single core processor which uses the Hyper-Threading

Technology will have a performance jump of up to 25% compared to non

Hyper-Threaded processors. Dual core processors with Hyper-Threading Technology

will see a performance increase of up to 87%. In short, systems with this

technology will see the game run much faster than ever before.

Test for number of processors (HT or Dual core):

To find out if you have Hyper-Threading enabled or a dual core system, perform

the following steps:

1. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete. If a window called "Windows Task Manager" does

not appear, click on the "Windows Task Manager" button.

2. When the window appears, click on the "Performance" tab.

3. There will be a section at the top of this window called "CPU Usage

History." If you have HT or dual core on your machine, there should be two

graphs side by side under the "CPU Usage History" label.

4. If those side-by-side graphs are not present and you believe that the system

should have HT, it may not be enabled in the BIOS. For more information on how

to enable HT in the BIOS, please consult any guides or manuals from your

computer manufacturer.

How to enable Hyper-Threading Technology in the game:

By DEFAULT, the symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)-based acceleration (which is

the feature that enables the performance increase) is DISABLED. If you have a

system with multiple CPUs or cores, please follow the directions below.

From the Quake 4 Main Menu:

1. Click "Settings".

2. Click "System".

3. Click "Advanced Options".

4. Set "Multiple CPU/Core" to "Yes". (You will be prompted that your changes

will not take effect until next time the game is launched.)

5. Click "Back".

6. Click "EXIT" and relaunch the game to initialize the change.

Quake 4 will detect the number of processors in your system and prevent you

from mistakenly activating this option. If you feel that your system has the

necessary hardware to run the SMP optimization, please consult your hardware

manufacturer's guides or manuals for instructions on how to enable the

multi-processor or dual core feature on your system.

As with any new technology, SMP is reliant upon several components working in

unison. Such components include the motherboard, CPU, GPU, and sound card. For

best results, please make sure that your system's BIOS and all drivers are up

to date. If you encounter any instability while using this feature, please

disable SMP and see if the problem persists. To help us resolve any

incompatibilities, please report the issue to http://www.idsoftware.com/bugs,

and include information about your system configuration.

New Multiplayer Maps:

Outpatient (q4dm10) -

Cold, blood-stained hallways and flickering fluorescent lights set the mood in

this once active Strogg medical complex. The heart-pounding pace of this map

will keep players racing through the winding corridors, but only the quickest

will survive. In addition to traditional DM, Outpatient can also be played in

Team Deathmatch and Tourney modes.

Skeleton Crew (q4dm11) -

The dark empty void that surrounds this stranded space station offers no pity

for those lost in battle. This multi level arena generates fast paced action

that commands the attention of players in all skill levels. Expert navigation

of the twists and turns that lead from deck to deck will be your only ally.

Engage your foes in Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch games. As an added challenge

you can also battle it out 1v1 style in Tourney mode.

Mind the Gap (q5ctf6) -

This massive processing factory uses alien technology to mine from the core of

Stroggos itself - be sure to Mind The Gap in each base which only leads to an

inescapable abyss and your death. This multi-tiered structure defies

description and will leave only the heartiest and most cunning soldiers as the

victors! Contest your team s supremacy in CTF or Arena CTF modes.

Double Edged (q4ctf8) -

Double Edged revisits the Quake II(tm) classic& with a twist  Capture the

Flag! The battle arena has been doubled so brush up on your long range weapon

skills, but don t fret if your Rail isn t exactly "impressive." You ll also

find some tight corridors for those of you more comfortable with in-your-face

combat. Destined to be a classic in its own right, settle those team grudge

matches in this remix of a classic in CTF or Arena CTF battle.

Campgrounds Redux (q4dm9) -

With QUAKE 4's updated technology, Campgrounds Redux now has a fresh look and

feel, revitalizing this QUAKE III(tm) classic. Excellent for any number of

players, this updated version supports Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and

Tournament modes, where hard-core QUAKE fans can get crazy with this throw-back

to one of their old favorites.

Railed (q4tourney1) -

Set in an abandoned, rusting Strogg facility, the environment in Railed

produces fast-paced frenetic tournament style action! This new map is all about

close-quarters combat and hair-trigger reflexes as players hustle through the

winding, multi-tiered corridors. Designed especially for Tournament play,

Railed also supports Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch game modes, and is

guaranteed to provide some thrilling fast-action gameplay.

Tremors (q4ctf7) -

Built within a twisting underground cavern and peppered throughout with pipes,

bridges, and catwalks, Tremors demands tactical expertise. Enemies attack from

above and below in the enormous, multi-tiered environment, making team-play

invaluable. Tremors is perfect for huge Capture-The-Flag games, and also

supports the Arena Capture-The-Flag gameplay mode.

To use the new maps in the map rotation cycle, a new map cycle script file has

been included, called mapcycle-mp2.scriptcfg. To use the new map cycle script:

1. On the Multiplayer- Create Server screen, click "Advanced Options".

2. In the "Map cycle script file" field, enter "mapcycle-mp2.scriptcfg".

3. Click "Close advanced options".

4. Start the server.

Fixes & Updates in 1.2:

General:

The Screen Size setting will only display resolutions supported by Windows and

your hardware.

Shotgun reload animation will now play correctly.

Corrected an issue with skipping the ending cinematic.

Pentium(r) M processors will now be properly detected.

When using right-click to lower the video quality, the user will be prompted to

apply the change immediately.

Corrected a stability issue related to old sound drivers.

Added doImpulse and doButton commands to support button actions and impulses

via the console. For example:

bind l "doButton +_moveup; wait 5; doButton -_moveup;"

bind l "doImpulse _impulse1; wait 10; doImpulse _impulse5"

Several sound issues have been corrected.

Added mouse acceleration functionality with the m_accel cvar. This is only

available through the console. Higher values give more acceleration.

Video option changes can be applied immediately instead of restarting the game.

Widescreen option will no longer affect the menus adversely.

The FOV (g_fov) can now be adjusted higher than 110. We do not recommend values

higher than 110.

Application stability improved when setting the Sound Device to General

Software with a Creative X-Fi sound card.

Implemented an AddOn PK4 system similar to Doom 3(tm) v1.3. Please see

http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/LevelEditor_MPMapDefs for more info.

Resolved an issue with the level editor not working correctly with SMP enabled.

Corrected a few localized string errors.

Added a new cvar for adjusting the look speed while zoomed: pm_zoomedSlow

(defaults to 100). This can be adjusted from 1 to 100: lower numbers are

slower.

Finalized network demos: replay client or server recordings of network game or

run performance tests. Please see http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/NetworkDemos

for more info.

Multiplayer:

New Features:

Brightskins added! Pro models for Marine and Strogg have been added. They can

be selected from the Multiplayer menu. Their names are "Pro Marine" and "Pro

Strogg".

When Ready mode is enabled, player's Ready state now shows on the Scoreboard

screen.

Voice chat for Multiplayer is now available! To use voice chat, a microphone

must be present and working on the system. After setting up the microphone

correctly in your operating system, a Voice Chat key must be set in the

Settings/Controls/Other tab, which is accessed from the Main Menu.

Configuration of the voice chat options such as Mic Input Volume, Receive

Volume, etc can only be accessed in the ESC menu s "Voice Config" option once

you have successfully loaded into a multiplayer match. When in any team game

(TeamDM/CTF/ArenaCTF), only teammates can hear the speaker. When in a non-team

game, all players can hear the speaker.

Added sorting functionality for the Multiplayer Friends List.

Added a forcemodel option. Typing one of the three commands below and using tab

complete will bring up a list of usable models for that command:

g_forceModel forces all players displayed on the client machine to one of the

models listed below, in non-team gameplay modes. The available models are:

model_player_failed_transfer

model_player_slimy_transfer

model_player_corpse

model_player_tactical_elite

model_player_tactical_command

model_player_marine

model_player_marine_morris

model_player_marine_voss

model_player_marine_cortez

model_player_marine_helmeted

model_player_marine_helmeted_bright

model_player_marine_medic

model_player_marine_officer

model_player_marine_fatigues

model_player_marine_tech

model_player_tactical_transfer

model_player_tactical_transfer_bright

model_player_kane_strogg

g_forceMarineModel will force all Marine players displayed on the client

machine to one of the models listed below, in team gameplay modes. The

available models are:

model_player_marine

model_player_marine_morris

model_player_marine_voss

model_player_marine_cortez

model_player_marine_helmeted

model_player_marine_helmeted_bright

model_player_marine_medic

model_player_marine_officer

model_player_marine_fatigues

g_forceStroggModel will force all Strogg players displayed on the client

machine to one of the models listed below, in team gameplay modes. The

available models are:

model_player_tactical_transfer

model_player_tactical_transfer_bright

model_player_kane_strogg

Variables for private clients have been implemented. All of these options must

be set from the console or in config scripts:

si_privatePlayers: This is the number of private player slots reserved on the

server. It subtracts from si_maxPlayers, so a server with si_maxPlayers 16 and

4 private player slots will only allow 12 public players to connect.

g_privatePassword: This is the server-side password setting.

privatePassword: This is the client password used to access a server's private

player slots. This must be set from the console.

Added a voting option to shuffle teams. PLEASE NOTE: If auto-balance is on, use

the shuffle teams function to redistribute players evenly. Only restarting the

map will not shuffle players.

Added a one-minute warning for tournament matches.

Added a server-side console variable that will allow enabling or disabling of

voting options. si_voteFlags (which defaults to 0, meaning nothing disabled) is

the variable, and it uses a bit mask system:

bit 0 (+1) restart map

bit 1 (+2) min players

bit 2 (+4) auto balance teams

bit 3 (+8) shuffle teams

bit 4 (+16) kick player

bit 5 (+32) change map

bit 6 (+64) change gametype

bit 7 (+128) time limit

bit 8 (+256) tourney round limit

bit 9 (+512) capture limit

bit 10 (+1024) frag limit

Sum the total of the parenthetical numbers for each of the vote options you

want to disable. For example, to disable voting on "kick player," "change

gametype," and "frag limit," add the numbers: 16, 64, and 1024 (total of 1104),

and set on the server: si_voteFlags 1104. Please note that any changes will not

take effect until after a map restart, and anyone viewing the voting options

during that transitory phase will not see the changes unless they back out to

the game and then enter the shell again.

When aiming at a teammate in a team game, their health and armor level shows

under their name.

When spectating and following, viewing the MP Statistics (default key 'Z') now

shows the stats of whoever you are following.

The Game Browser now has scroll bar arrows to scroll through one server at a

time.

Players will be notified when teams are rebalanced.

There is a new system by which players may anonymously report their usage

statistics to the developers, such as type of video card, amount of system RAM,

the presence of a DVD drive, etc. After installing the 1.2 patch, the first time

the game starts, a confirmation window will appear. At this point, the player

may choose to enable anonymous usage statistic reporting. Alternately, this may

be set ahead of time with a cvar, net_reportUsageStatistics.

Added a "simple items" cvar so that item pickups will appear as icon

representations instead of the actual model. Use g_simpleitems 1/0 to enable

and disable. This is only available in the console.

Adjustments:

The variables pm_bobpitch, pm_bobroll, pm_bobup, pm_crouchbob, pm_runbob,

pm_runpitch, pm_runroll and pm_walkbob are no longer cheat protected but

clients will not be able to override the server settings.

Selecting a screen size or aspect ratio that cannot be supported on a system

will revert to safe defaults and display the correct safe settings values in

the System menu.

instead of Desktop Stereo:

1. From the Windows(r) Control Panel, select "Sounds and Audio Devices."

2. In the "Speaker Settings" area, click the "Advanced" button.

3. Make sure that the speakers are set to "5.1 Surround" or "Surround 5.1"

General:

Copied map files can now be overwritten/deleted without quitting first.

The console command "com_allowconsole" will stay set after leaving the game.

Interface:

Improved Game Browser sorting and filtering: You can sort by up to three

criteria, which will be displayed just under the server list, with the more

recently clicked criteria sorting first. For example, to sort by ping time,

then number of players, then gametype, click them in the reverse order: Click

"GAMETYPE," then "PLAYERS," then "PING." The server list will be sorted by the

fastest ping, then the servers with the fewest players, then the gametype.

Clicking a category more than once will keep its position as the primary

sorting criteria, but will change the sorting order. After cycling through all

available sort types, clicking the category a final time will remove it from

the sorting. Each criteria has specific behavior with one or two clicks, as

listed:

Favorite Server: Display only favorites, or only non-favorites.

Password Enabled: Display only locked server, or only unlocked servers.

Dedicated Server: Display only Dedicated servers, or only Listen servers.

Punkbuster Enabled: Display only PB-enabled servers, or only PB-disabled

servers.

Server Name: Sort server names A to Z, or Z to A.

Ping: Sort by ping Low to High, or High to Low.

Players: Sort by Players High to Low, High to Low (non-full), Low to High, or

Low to High (non-empty).

Gametype: Sort by Deathmatch, Team DM, Tournament, CTF, or Arena CTF.

Map: Sort by map CTF1 to DM9, or DM9 to CTF1.

The Game Browser now displays more than 1000 servers.

Fixed a problem with the refresh time on the Game Browser.

Added a Game Browser filter for full or empty servers.

Players can now connect to a server while the Game Browser is refreshing.

Game Browser sorting will display the correct server information without the

need to refresh the list.

Clicking anywhere on the scrollbar except the button itself will advance a page

up or down instead of shifting to that position.

Non-full server sorting now disregards full servers.

Game Browser hover window updates when sort order is changed.

Fixed a Game Browser slowdown issue with high numbers of servers.

Added Game Browser server list scrolling with the mousewheel, keyboard arrows

up/down, and keyboard Page Up/Page Down.

The Game Browser hover window will only appear when mousing over a highlighted

server.

Sorting by server name will now ignore colored names, brackets, etc.

Multiplayer:

The dedicated server window will now be titled with the si_name setting instead

of "Quake 4".
