Quake 3 point release patch 1.32

After a long quiet period on the Quake 3 front, Robert Duffy updates his .plan file with word that a version 1.32 patch has been released with the major addition of Punk Buster support. Here are some of the changes:

- new network protocol, 68
- network code:
improved fragmented messages handling
map change while client loads map no longer causes an 'Invalid .PK3' error
map_restart while client loads map no longer causes a reload
fixing donedl being ignored after autodl if map_restart'ed
- the demo command has a list of compatible protocols, it will loop through 66 67 68
you can do '/demo four' and it will try four.dm_66 four.dm_67 four.dm_68
or you can explicitely give a '/demo demoname.dm_??'
- added mousewheel support in the console:
wheel to scroll, ctrl+wheel to scroll faster, shift+wheel to scroll history

This patch includes PunkBuster -

What is PunkBuster?

PunkBuster is an automatically self-updating Anti-Cheat software system. The PunkBuster system is designed to hold all participants accountable by scanning the game computers looking for known cheats, game hacks, and exploits similar to the way Anti-Virus software would scan a computer looking for a virus. PunkBuster is optional, however, without it you will not be able to play multiplayer on PunkBuster enabled servers.

PunkBuster does not transmit your private data to any other computer nor keep any type of centralized database that tracks any information about your personal files. PunkBuster basically just looks for known cheats and game-hacks while you are playing online. A PunkBuster enabled game is an effort to authenticate your installation as "clean" for the purpose of consensual multiplayer online gaming.

CS needs something like Punkbuster. I don't appreciate being shot through a wall or with someone using auto-aim.

Good patch, but I wish there were more updates...
