This lets the user click a link in a web browser to very easily join a Quake 3 multiplayer game. As browser-based matchmaking websites become more popular, this makes it a lot more convenient and simple to play Quake 3 with others.
The links have the following URI format: quake3://connect/example.com:27950. The format has been designed to be flexible to allow more types of links in the future and avoiding having to make a breaking change. At the moment, "connect" is the only supported command.
ioquake3.x86_64.exe can't load x86 OpenAL32.dll. Using separate
library names allows shipping OpenAL for both architectures.
Though since the dll name is saved in the config file, using both
clients on the same computer will cause one client arch to always
try to load the wrong OpenAL dll and then fallback to the correct
default OpenAL dll. I guess it could be fixed by using separate
cvar names for s_alDriver.
MSYS2 and some mingw builds use mingw64 instead of mingw32. If you run
`make installer` from the top-level, PLATFORM should be set correctly
when building the installer.
