Instead of trying to add my software water implementation into our software renderer, I did it in an OpenGL renderer that everyone uses and will use anyway. This code waited for this moment for two year until somebody reminded about it...

It doesn't use shaders, it's really just that software effect implemented modifying the texture and re-uploading to GPU.

I also found some bugs and fixed them. Now it looks even more accurate. Branch isn't merged to Xash3D FWGS master yet, but I sent it for other contributors to review: https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/pull/1475. You can find the binaries in GitHub Actions artifacts, or just wait until it gets reviewed and merged.

the full client works too

no 3d acceleration in vm so it's softpipe performance, not even llvmpipe because mesa probably was built without it

anyway it should work better on actual hardware, there is no reason not to, almost no changes were made to the engine

btw I just noticed that we're working on this engine more days than Uncle Mike did when we're just forked it

I always thought that GoldSrc started off NetQuake and then Valve merged in changes from QuakeWorld.

But I also thought it's happened after Half-Life was released, when shared PMove was added to SDK.

However, nettest1 binaries (sw.dll/hw.dll) seems to have some registered cvars related to prediction which only appeared in QuakeWorld. But HLAlpha doesn't have these cvars yet.

I checked Day One binaries, and they have prediction cvars.

So QuakeWorld migration happened somewhere between September 1997 <-> August 1998.
