# Armagetron Advanced is fully compatible with old clients down to 0.2.0
# with the default settings. This changes if you alter some settings from
# the default: the most glaring example would be changing the map to
# play on. The following settings determine what happens when an old
# client connects and some settings the client does not yet understand
# are not on their defaults. Set the configuration items to 2 to simply
# block the client, set it to 1 to allow the client in and revert the
# relevant settings to their default (this may be confusing to users
# of a newer client, they'll experience the change and have to adapt),
# or 0 to just leave the settings as they are, but allow the client in
# anyway. Choose 0 or 2 to be nice to new clients, 1 to be nice to old
# clients.
#
SETTING_LEGACY_BEHAVIOR_BREAKING 2 # For settings that absolutely break the client and make play impossilbe. Example of an affected setting: MAP_FILE
SETTING_LEGACY_BEHAVIOR_BUMPY 2 # For settings that allow play on old clients in principle, but with severe limitations (cycles bouncing around, player commands not executed on time). Example: CYCLE_DELAY_TIMEBASED
SETTING_LEGACY_BEHAVIOR_ANNOYING 0 # For settings that only cause minor annoyances on old clients, like enemy cycles stopping for .1 seconds after each turn. Example: CYCLE_RUBBER_MINDISTANCE
SETTING_LEGACY_BEHAVIOR_CHEATING 2 # For settings where the default behavior could be considered cheating if nondefault was set. Example: DOUBLEBIND_TIME
SETTING_LEGACY_BEHAVIOR_VISUAL 0 # For settings that only affect status displays and visuals, not game physics. Example: CYCLE_RUBBER_* (the client displays the rubber meter, but it's not used for anything)
#
# Instead of selecting the behavior per group, you can override the
# behavior of the affected configuraton one by one: to change it
# for a variable named FOO, set FOO_OVERRIDE to 1 to revert FOO to
# its default when an old client connects, or 0 to let the old client
# in and leave FOO as it was. The default is always 3, which means
# to use the setting of the class corresponding to FOO. For map
# settings, this means concretely:
#
# uncomment the following line if you want to revert to the default map as soon as a client that
# does not yet support maps connects.
#MAP_FILE_OVERRIDE 1
# uncomment this line if you want to use a nondefault map even if old clients are online
# (useful for example if your map only differs from the default map in the spawnpoints)
#MAP_FILE_OVERRIDE 0
# default override setting: let the setting class decide. In the case of maps, the class
# is BREAKS (old clients can't cope at all with nondefault settings), so old clients
# are not allowed to connect if MAP_FILE differs from the default.

# points (visibility targets), one in front of the cycle, two by its sides.
# these settings control how they are handled: the front and side distance
# of the targets is determined by _EXTENSION, and the side targets will be
# put forward relative to the cycle by _SIDESKEW. Rays will be cast from the
# cycle to the so determined positions and the real targets will be placed
# at _WALL_DISTANCE times the maximal unblocked distance. Additionally, if the
# targets have been blocked by walls the last frame, they won't snap to the
# full allowed distance right away, but only slowly move there, determined by
# _RECOVERY_SPEED. Lastly, _CLIP_SPEED determines the speed the camera will
# be moved with to keep the extra targets in view.
CAMERA_VISIBILITY_RECOVERY_SPEED 1 # the speed the external visibility targets recovers from wall hits
CAMERA_VISIBILITY_WALL_DISTANCE .5 # the distance the visibility targets keep from walls

CAMERA_SMART_HEIGHT_EXTRA .5 # extra factor for height. Either this or the previous setting is redundant :)
CAMERA_SMART_HEIGHT_TURNING .5 # influence of turning on camera height
CAMERA_SMART_HEIGHT_GRINDING 0.0 # influence of grinding on camera height. In 0.2.7.1, this was set to 2, causing the camera to tilt down too far.
CAMERA_SMART_HEIGHT_OBSTACLE 1.0 # influence of obstacles in front of the cycle
# these settings determine the focal point calculation
CAMERA_SMART_CENTER_POS_SMOOTH 6.0 # speed of cycle position smoothinga

# server browser query settings
BROWSER_QUERY_FILTER 1 # query filter. Set to 0 to poll all servers, 1 to query servers with nonnegative score bias, 2 to query only those with positive bias and 3 to not query at all. Non-queried servers will appear to have ping 999; the player info comes indirectly from the master server.
BROWSER_QUERIES_SIMULTANEOUS 10 # max. number of simultaneous query messages that are sent
BROWSER_QUERY_DELAY_SINGLE 1.5 # time delay between queries of the same server
BROWSER_QUERY_DELAY_GLOBAL 0.05 # time delay between all queries
BROWSER_NUM_QUERIES 3 # number of queries per try
BROWSER_CONTACTLOSS 4 # number of failed contact attemps before a server can be considered lost
TIMER_SYNC_START_FUDGE 0.1 # fudge factor: the game timer tends to be late at the start of the round. This fudge factor compensates for it by hacking it a bit into the future.
TIMER_SYNC_START_FUDGE_STOP 2.0 # the round time at which fudging is stopped.
ARENA_WALL_SHADOW_SIZE 0.1 # maximal size of the arena wall shadow compared to the camera/wall height
ARENA_WALL_SHADOW_SIDEDIST 10.0 # shadows are drawn when the cycle gets closer to the line the wall follows than this
ARENA_WALL_SHADOW_DIST 30.0 # shadows are drawn when the cycle's path gets closer to the wall than this
ARENA_WALL_SHADOW_NEAR 1.0 # getting closer to the wall than this distance does not increase the shadow much
# On some occasions, to avoid phasing bugs, we let a cycle drop its trail and
# build a new segment. This is invisible to the player, but the code is better
# at handling the dropped segments. This value determines in which intervals
# this can happen, as there is a performance price both in local CPU usage
# and network bandwidth consumption.
CYCLE_MIN_WALLDROP_INTERVAL .05
# Slicing and dicing time
# Sometimes, due to real world glitches, large timesteps need to be simulated.
# Simulating them all at once is a recipe for disaster, so we slice the
# big timestep into many small ones. Care needs to be taken, if the
# small steps are too small, a weak server may not be able to keep up with
# the action. When the two settings contradict each other in a given situation,
# TIMESTEP_MAX_COUNT takes precedence.
TIMESTEP_MAX .2 # the maximal size of the small timesteps
TIMESTEP_MAX_COUNT 10 # the maximal number of small timesteps to divide a large timestep in
# If the cycle simulation code on the server thinks that a client cycle control command is missing
# due to packet loss (and a later command has already arrived), it will wait for this long
# times the ping for the missed packet to arrive.
CYCLE_PACKETMISS_TOLERANCE 3
# deprecated settings, they'll go away unless there are protests
CYCLE_RUBBER_MALUS_TURN 0 # rubber usage gets increased by this amout after each turn...
CYCLE_RUBBER_MALUS_TIME 5 # but the effect wears off after about this many seconds
