Carmack .plan Update -- 8:49 pm CST, Update by The Master

John Carmack updated his .plan with another Q3A worklog. Check the highlights:

• allow cg_thirdPerson and cg_thirdPersonRange in games
• single pass plasma explosion effect to save overdraw
• rescaled and sized gib and mark blood to save a lot of overdraw
• fixed cg.time < snapshot time on vid_restart
• back to requiring a before commands on the console to distinguish them from chat messages. Tab completion automatically adds the slash.
• new tab command completion with complete to longest common, multiple match listing, complete first token, etc
• separate version check for game/cgame in addition to system

Lots of speed improvements and cheat protections here. And THANK GOD for the "" requirement on the dang command line! That has annoyed me WAY too much in Q3A.
