Latest ezQuake features
As ezQuake development soon approaches 2.0 beta, it's time to repeat the latest significant features so that in the beta stage only minor bugs are tracked down.

The most important changes from the total 55 commits in the last 2 months are:
Mumble positional audio, simple items and better options menu...
biomass added Mumble positional audio support
As you may know, Mumbe voice communication software is hosted for free on quakeworld.nu. Now you can take benefit of its Positional Audio feature. In combination with the ezQuake client you now can hear the voices of your teammates coming from the actual direction where they are standing in the game. Closer description.

qqshka added simple items support
Long requested feature was added about two months ago. Description, simpleitems textures by PrimeviL: download

A-A-S reorganized options menu
Like suggested by various people on the forums, the Options menu structure is now similar to menus in modern games, hopefully making it more convenient for newcomers.

All these changes are available in latest ezQuake nighly builds.

Cheats! fuck! shit! ban! Now you can know automatically from where your teammate comes even without looking into the team messages if he talks! Mystically a radar appears in your sight! Sassa, wanna fight this with everything you got?!?!

Used reorganised menus a little today.

Think its totally cheat and will fight against it as hard as I can.

it makes you change options very easy and takes the QW spirit away.. why not then change bunnyjumps to the way PK has it, that u don't even need to strafe!!!

I like the mumble support and the "argument" to use that over any other VoIP - now I can ditch wine ./ventrilo and also teamspeak that got hard masked on gentoo the other day :p

I've tried simple items and they seem to work fine so far. Just some white annoying border when I reach a certain distance from the item. I think this can be seen on the link AAS posted.
