📈 Restored cl_maxfps functionality in singleplayer
_sp_cl_frame_delay no longer needed for singleplayer.
📈 Improved stable framerate whilst Sleep(1) thus saving cpu and energy
QueryPerformanceCounter usage as frame loop timer instead of timeGetTime. _sp_cl_cpu_cool have been deprecated in favour of a new cvar _sofbuddy_sleep.
💉 Widescreen Teamicons GlitchFix
Correct positioning of player teamicons above player models in-game when using widescreen.
🌳 HD texture support
Supports different sized/scaled default .m32 textures by hard-coding the uv texture mapping sizes instead of reading them from the .bsp, thus is required when using any HD texture mod. see hd_textures

Either compile the project using make or grab the pre-compiled from release section.
It is recommended to delete your User/config.cfg file before install so that you get optimal defaults.
Ensure/place the sof_buddy.dll file is in your root SoF folder, along with the other 4 scripts.
(dump everything into the root SoF folder)
There are provided 3 useful SoF.exe patchers, which control whether native_wsock/sofplus_wsock/sof_buddy_wsock are loaded. This toggles which mods you want loaded.
sof_buddy will automatically load spcl.dll if it exists in your directory. So SoF Buddy can work _WITH_ sofplus.

Open the .cmd file set_sofplus_and_buddy_sof.cmd. This method works without sofplus too.
View its contents here: set_sofplus_and_buddy_sof.cmd
Open the .cmd file set_sofplus_sof.cmd.
Open the .cmd file set_vanilla_sof.cmd.

If you are on linux, I highly recommend using wine instead of proton. There is less screen tearing, when using true fullscreen (drm.modeset), only noticeable in slight moments. (Because wine has less tearing and less glitchy gun effects/visuals.)
wine SoF.exe +set console 1 +set cddir CDDIR #%command%
However, if you do decide to use Proton, I recommend <= 4.11-13 , else you have to adjust sound frequency each startup. (It sticks to 11, but 22 is better).
Optimal FPS, especially if using wine:
base/autoexec.cfg:
cl_quads 0
ghl_light_method 0
ghl_shadows 0

_sofbuddy_classic_timer
default = 0
Use the classic timer if you are running with vsync ON or are on an extremely old/laggy system or have bugs with non-classic timer. You would launch your SoF.exe with SoF.exe +set _sofbuddy_classic_timer 1. This cvar is write-only and can only be set at launch-time.
_sofbuddy_high_priority
default = 1
This cvar will be saved in config.cfg. If you do not want the process have process priority of HIGH, set this to 0 for NORMAL.
This cvar can be changed at run-time.
_sofbuddy_font_scale
default = 1
The value gets rounded, so whole number multipliers of originally font sizes only apply, 1x, 2x, 3x ... etc.
