New console varables for Quake Live

•Added cg_deadBodyDarken <0|1> (default = 0) Toggling this cvar on will darken 'bright' players as soon as they become corpses.

•Added cg_deadBodyColor <0xRRGGBBFF> (default = 0x101010FF) Altering this cvar allows you to customize the color applied to dead bright bodies when cg_deadBodyDarken is enabled.

•Changed shotgun pattern to use 20 pellets in a diffused 3 ring pattern, each dealing 5 damage for a total of 100 damage.

•Added cg_smokeRadius_NG <0-16> (default = 16) Lowering the value of this cvar will scale the radius of the smoke puffs drawn in the nailgun trails. A value of 0 will entirely disable the smoke trails.

•Added cg_bubbleTrail <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the underwater bubble trails drawn behind many bullets and projectiles while underwater.

•Removed cg_noProjectileTrails due to the addition of the cg_smokeRadius_NG and cg_bubbleTrails
.
•Added cg_waterWarp <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the minor under-water warping effected that exists when submerged underwater. The effect has little impact on gameplay but can be induce disorientation in some players.

•Added cg_zoomScaling <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the zooming in / zooming out scaling effect that is used as a transition between your cg_fov and cg_zoomfov; causing the +zoom to act as a quick snap to and from the zoomed fov.

•Added cg_zoomToggle <0|1> (default = 0) Toggling this cvar on alters the behavior of +zoom such that a single key press will enable zooming and a repeated keystroke disables zooming, no longer requiring players to hold the key down while zooming.

•Added cg_zoomSensitivity (default = 1) The value of this cvar is multiplied to our current zoom sensitivity, allowing the user to increase or decrease their sensitivity while zoomed. A value of 0 will revert the zoomSensitivity code to the Q3 legacy code that was previously available in QuakeLive.

•Added cg_drawFragMessages <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the 'You Fragged So-and-So' centerprint message from drawing on your screen. The shorthand obituary will still print to the HUD to make note of any kills.

•Added cg_buzzerSound <0|1> (default = 1) Toggling this cvar off disables the end-game buzzer sound in all gametypes.

•Changed cg_allowTaunt <0|1> (default = 1) to now also disable gesture events clientside in addition to disabling Team Arena style VO taunts when this cvar is disabled.

•Added cg_lightningStyle <1|2|3|4> (default = 1) Altering this cvar will cycle through various lightning stream effects: Default Q3/QL, QuakeWorld inspired, Team Arena shaft, and thin shaft options.

•Renamed cg_oldRail <0|1> (default = 1) to cg_railStyle <1|2> (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference 'old' is lost between iterations of the game.

•Renamed cg_oldRocket <0|1> (default = 1) to cg_rocketStyle <1|2> (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference 'old' is lost between iterations of the game.

•Renamed cg_oldPlasma <0|1> (default = 1) to cg_plasmaStyle <1|2> (default = 1). The new naming structure fits in line with the cg_lightningStyle and the old convention made little sense, as the reference 'old' is lost between iterations of the game.

•Added cg_speedometer <0-3> (default: 0) to monitor your horizontal velocity:

0 = disabled
1 = lag-o-meter style graph
2 = value and graph under crosshair
3 = value under crosshair

•Added cg_HitBeep <0/1/2/3> (default: 1) to play different tones based on the amount of damage done to an opponent. 0 = off, 1 = single tone (old style), 2 = new multi-tone option, 3 = reverse multi-tone option.

•Added cg_crosshairHitStyle <0-8> (default: 0) to allow the same information given by cg_HitBeep to be displayed via the crosshair.

Styles breakdown as follows:
0 = Off (the default)
1 = Colorize the crosshair based on damage dealt.
2 = Colorize the crosshair to color designated by cg_crosshairHitColor.
3 = Pulse the crosshair. (This is an exaggerated/scaled pulse)
4 = Colorize by damage and Pulse the crosshair.
5 = Colorize by cg_crosshairHitColor and Pulse the crosshair.
6 = Pulse the crosshair with a smaller pulse. (same size as the cg_crosshairPulse uses when picking items up)
7 = Colorize by damage and pulse with smaller pulse.
8 = Colorize by cg_crosshairHitColor and pulse with smaller pulse.

NOTE: If using the exaggerated pulse, you may want to set your cg_crosshairSize to 16, as the default 32 can be a bit overboard.

•Added cg_crosshairHitColor <1-7> (default: 1) for hit styles that have a fixed color. For example, some players simply want the crosshair to turn red when a hit is made, rather than change color based on damage applied.

•Added cg_crosshairHitTime (default: 200) to allow players to modify the amount of time the crosshair hit effect is displayed.

•Added cg_screenDamage <0xRRGGBBAA> (default: 0x700000C8) to colorize the on screen damage indicator; use "cg_screenDamage 0" to disable.

•Added cg_screenDamage_Self <0xRRGGBBAA> (default: 0x00000000) to toggle the on screen damage indicator for self damage. (for example, damage from rocket jumping)

•Added cg_screenDamage_Team <0xRRGGBBAA> (default: 0x700000C8) to colorize the on screen damage indicator for team damage; use "cg_screenDamage_Team 0" to disable. (Friendly Fire in Team Deathmatch)

•Added cg_zoomOutOnDeath <0/1> (default: 1) to reset player FOVs back to normal on death. This is useful if you use the cg_zoomToggle cvar.

NOTE: The new cg_hitBeep and cg_crosshairStyle additions give you an idea of how well placed your shot was.

They do not indicate how much health/armor your opponent has

Added the ability to colorize the ‘bright’ skins for Keel, Visor, Tankjr, and Crash. Colors can be easily set by two new cmds: setteamcolor and setenemycolor

These commands accept one to three parameters to colorize the upper body, lower body and head of the bright skin. These parameters are entered in the form of letters, with a to x representing the rainbow, and two additional arguments of y (white) and z (gray). You may use a single color parameter to colorize the entire model one color, or up to three arguments to customize the players chest, legs and head.
Examples:

'setenemycolor h' will set the entire model green
'setenemycolor hy' will set the models chest green, legs & head white
'setenemycolor hyz' will set the models chest green, legs white, and head gray

If you wish to have a greater control over their color options, you can configure the individual cvars that the setenemycolor and setteamcolor commands assign values to. These cvars accept only RGBA hexadecimal parameters, such as 0x00FF00FF for bright green (0xRRBBGGAA format).

Setting these cvars are not required if you use the simple setenemycolor and setteamcolor cmds:
cg_enemyUpperColor
cg_enemyLowerColor
cg_enemyHeadColor
cg_teamUpperColor
cg_teamLowerColor
cg_teamHeadColor
