🐇 Movement Trick in 🌚OSP2-BE

🙃 Not everyone knows about the AutoHop feature, which allows you to rapidly jump up stairs simply by holding the jump key.
➡️ The script is very simple: while you hold the bound key (usually SPACE), it continuously sends jump inputs.

Benefits:

→ No speed loss while moving up stairs.
→ Enables new movement tricks.
→ Makes it possible to quickly run and climb over certain obstacles—for example, the rocks leading to the Red Armor on Quarantine.

👇 Command:
/bind space +autojump

💰 Quake 3 Microtransactions 💰

Imagine weapon skins being unlocked across all servers and gametypes (TDM, CTF, FFA, etc.), with challenges like:

💀 10,000 Rocket Launcher kills
🏆 500 impressives medals
🆘 250 Quad Damage frags

📦 ...or just by opening loot boxes.

P.S. The complete Q3Elite weapon set provides a +10% damage boost. 🌚

🧠 Anti-Down System in Quake 3 Chat

If you're dealing with spammers or players trying to flood the chat, here are a few ways to handle it. 🙄

🧐OSP2/🌚-BE Mute System

OSP2 includes a mute feature that 🔞hides messages from muted players in the SuperHUD chat and on the left side of the console.
Note: Messages will still appear in the right-side console in 😈XQ3E, but without the chat beep.

✨ Mute Command /mute [ID]
When you mute a player, their nickname is automatically added to the chatfilter.txt blacklist. This means you don't have to retype it after every map change.
Player IDs may change between maps, but the nickname stored in the file will remain.

👤 Display Player IDs
/cg_scoreboardShowID 1 → Shows each player's ID on the left side of the scoreboard.
If several players are using the same nickname (such as NONAME), you can use:
/cg_playersXID 2 → This displays a config-based ID, making it easier to distinguish players with identical names.

😈XQ3E Chat Filters
XQ3E also provides built-in anti-spam filters
For example, if someone sends:
v pomoiky mraz
v pomoiky mraz
v pomoiky mraz
you will only see one instance of the message and hear a single chat beep.

👇 Commands
x_con_chat_antispam_all
x_con_chat_antispam_team
x_con_chat_antispam_private
The private-message filter works with /tell messages.

🌟 Alternative: Quiet Chat Mode
/cg_noChatBeep
/cg_noTeamChatBeep
These commands disable chat notification sounds.
However, I think that removes some of Quake's soul 🙃

🖤 Chat Window Update in 🌚OSP2-BE

🌚Divoc is currently working on the next interesting feature for 🌚OSP2-BE: an external chat window with emoji support, mouse interaction, and several useful improvements, such as using TAB to switch between global and team chat modes.

✔️ Like other features in the mod, the chat window supports dynamic resizing via commands, custom fonts, adjustable position, font size, message fade time, and emoji name prediction with TAB completion.

📁 It also includes chat history, filtering of repeated messages with an xN counter, and extensive keyboard support, including word-wise cursor navigation, chat scrolling, and navigation with keys such as END and PGUP.

👁 One issue I found is that the Caps Lock state is not being detected correctly (Shift works as expected). Since the mod itself cannot directly access the Windows OS state, this is somewhat problematic, but the feature is still in alpha, so a solution may yet be found.

🤩 I also suggested adding mouse cursor positioning and support for Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V copy-and-paste functionality.

🌟 Draw Spawns Feature in 🌚OSP2-BE

A beta version of the new Draw Spawn feature has been created. It helps you learn and check respawn locations on new maps much faster. This is especially useful for FFA, Duel, and CTF.

The feature reads spawn points directly from the local .BSP file, which means:
➡️ It may differ from the server's spawn entities (.ent file), although this is uncommon in Quake 3.
➡️ It also works in team game types, including CTF.

👇 Commands
/cg_drawTPexit 1
/cg_drawSpawns 1 → Displays a ghost player model with a shadow at each spawn point.
/cg_drawSpawns 2 → Displays a plasma marker at each spawn point.

✨ Planned Improvement
I suggested that 🌚Divoc add a +showSpawns command (hold a key to temporarily display spawn points), since on many maps and game types you don't need the feature enabled all the time.

😽 Shadow Items Feature in 🌚OSP2-BE

A small follow-up to yesterday's update: ghost picked-up items, similar to Defrag. 🐇

🆘 After an item is picked up, it no longer disappears from the map. Instead, it becomes transparent ("shadowed"), making it easier to learn new map layouts and item placements.

🌚 This feature reads item data directly from the local .BSP file, so it may be inaccurate on servers that use custom entity positions.
It also supports custom item layouts based on the current gametype (FFA, TDM, CTF, etc.).

🔄 The function uses a bitmask. Type:
/behelp cg_shadowItems to see all available bitmask values. They can be combined (for example, 1 + 2 = 3).
I recommend using it together with:
/cg_itemsFX 3 - looks much smoother and synchronizes nicely with the shadow items feature.

👇 Commands
/cg_shadowItems 31 → shadow effect on all picked items, except flags
/cg_itemsFX 3 → Disables 3D items' scaling animation while respawn, fits good for synchronize with the previous function

😈 SuperHUD function in 🌚OSP2-BE

⭐ SuperHUD is a powerful customization system that lets you build your own HUD with complete freedom. Every element can be positioned anywhere on the screen and customized with any size, font, or color.
It supports not only images but also shaders, allowing effects such as:
➡️ Rotating countdown timers
➡️ Animated HUD backgrounds
➡️ And many other dynamic elements

The ESC menu includes several ready-to-use HUD presets that can serve as inspiration or as a starting point for your own design.

✨ Extra HUD Features
/cg_shud_style Switches between alternative HUD styles (for example, with or without the weapon list).
/cg_exec_shud 1 Enables execution of HUD-specific binds and settings, such as:
➡️ Mini statistics table
➡️ Pressed movement keys display
➡️ Lagometer
➡️ Other optional HUD features

🔄 Creating Your First SuperHUD
The easiest way to get started is by modifying one of the existing HUD presets.
Browse the included HUD files and copy or edit the elements you want.

📁 Files are located in:
Q3/OSP/zz-osp-pak8be.pk3/hud
Q3/OSP/zz-osp-pak8be.pk3/docs/superhud_info.txt (documentation)

✔️ Create your own HUD file:
Q3/OSP/zzz-your-hud-folder.pk3dir/hud/MyHud.cfg
Q3/OSP/hud/MyHud.cfg (hud name must be unique)
Load it in-game:
/ch_file MyHud
Now simply edit MyHud.cfg in your text editor and refresh it in Quake 3 with:
/reloadHUD
No restart is required.

🙄 Notes

SuperHUD uses a 640×480 virtual grid and automatically scales to any resolution or aspect ratio.
Fonts and images look best when using a 4:3 aspect ratio. For example: fontSize 9 12; This preserves the intended proportions on the virtual HUD grid.

🙃 New Quake Game?

On March 3, ZeniMax Media renewed the Quake trademark. Today, July 6, reports emerged that Bethesda will be focusing on its five core franchises — with Quake among them.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Microsoft's restructuring of Xbox will see Bethesda focusing on a handful of franchises going forward: Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake. These five franchises are expected to be a priority, with at least three of them already having games in development.
