Half-Life 1 updated
Features in this update include:
- Returned mouse input to using windows messages rather than raw input, this should correct the sensitivity change people have seen
- Added a "Raw Input" checkbox in the Mouse tab of the Options dialog. This button toggles the "m_rawinput" cvar. If selected raw input API's will be used to get mouse input, usually with lower latency but missing the post processing from your OS's Window manager
- Added a "Low video quality" option in the Video tab of the Options dialog. Use this check box if you have an older GPU and want to trade off visual quality for FPS
- Re-enabled a fps cap of 100. You can override this behavior if you want to run faster by setting fps_override to "1" but some mods may not behave properly
- Added support for binding the multiply key on the numeric keypad, the engine bind name for this new key is "kp_mul"
- Added support for binding Windows key, key name "win". Be careful binding this key, your OS may also act on presses from it
- Made keypad enter key activate an item when pressed in the server browser
- Made the "timerefresh" command require sv_cheats be set for its use. This command is for developer profiling and shouldn't be generally used
- Added listing of games from the valve_downloads folder in the New Game dialog
- Added "speak_enabled" cvar, if set to 0 then the "spk" and "speak" commands are disabled
- Added "edicts" option to liblist.gam file, for use in mods that want more than 900 entities in their maps
- Improved HTTP download performance
- Improved movement when running at more than 100fps
- Removed now unused sv_voicecodec and sv_voicequality cvars
