Other thing:

Unfortunately, the fix for finale text length from build 15 still isn't enough for some addons.

I picked Rapture for testing since it has extremely long texts, and there the text is still cut off as you can see here. On this screenshot, 5 lines are not shown. I dunno if you can push this fix any further, but maybe if it doesn't fit on the screen you could try shrinking the font size automatically or something.

Other than that, I checked Malice map d13 once more and the crash with respawning Vasquez sisters is definitely gone. Thumbs up! 

The text is cut off in fitz085. This is rainend.bsp.
winquake is OK: http://imgur.com/DaISTRW

I don't know the code that draws these but my suggestion is:
- check the buffer size winquake uses
- calculate the actual height of the full message, so it can be centered on screen properly. 

It is far better to find out about all these edge cases now so they can be addressed while the iron is hot. 

Something else to think about in the meantime: Checking RRP, I get a crash to console in "Telefragged".

It happens like this:
After picking up the yellow keycard, I go around the corner and approach the yellow keycard door. Game crashes to console with a message like:

call0 2303(multi_trigger)multi_trigger()
... <-- couple of lines with subs.qc/triggers.qc etc here
(no function)
stack overflow
host_error: program error

Try if you can reproduce it with these savegames and autodemo (1.07 MB). Quicksave gets you right after picking up the keycard. Go around the corner and watch the game crash (probably). Autodemo shows the whole procedure. 

that is a known bug in telefragged.bsp on easy skill, not an engine issue 

I did a rough calculation of the text length and it comes out at ~900 chars. Now, Quake copies the centerprint text to a 1024 char buffer (in SCR_CenterPrint), so it's possible that this particular text is exceeding the buffer size and being chopped. That's possibility one.

Quake also counts the lines of text (stored to scr_center_lines) and I make it 29 lines, or 232 pixels high. Now, FitzQuake implements a GL_SetCanvas mechanism for laying out the 2D GUI elements, and centerprints use CANVAS_MENU, which is constrained to a 320x200 viewport (via a glViewport call), so anything outside of that viewport gets discarded by the driver. Add in the "Congratulations" banner and you can easily see why the text gets chopped. That's possibility two.

Possibility one is unlikely but it is nonetheless something that you should try to fix.

Possibility two is definitely what's going on here; the text is just too large for a 320x200 viewport.

Unfortunately this is a case where the mod author was careless: the same problem would occur on any engine running at a sufficiently low resolution. It doesn't occur on non-Fitz-based engines at higher resolutions simply because they don't use the same constrained viewport.

I'd chalk this one down to "bad content", of a similar class to textures containing fullbright texels, but it's up to you whether or not you think engines should support bad content like this. 

Windows GL | WinQuake - Probably fixes the Rapture end text for Open GL by expanding the canvas height to 480 or the largest it can do for the screen resolution being used while keeping the completion plaque or congratulations plaque in the same place.

@mh - Well, I'm sort of the mindset that 320x200 should be supported but also if original Quake does it then it can't really be a bug.

I am particularly interested in coop and I'm hoping to acquire ZQuake into the engine this week. In previous times, I wouldn't have had the right kind of knowledge to make this happen. It is possible I may discover I still don't. Finding out is half the fun. 

With the new build, now the "Congratulations" panel shows in 5:4 modes, but text remains cut off. In 16:9 however, the panel isn't visible while the text is displayed completely.

I was trying this with scr_menuscale 1 and higher, wouldn't make any difference. 

So I played the last two levels of Malice. While I didn't expect anything to go wrong there any more, it unfortunately did.

In d15 (boss map), the game seems to change your FOV, I guess as a side effect of the boss attack when he pulls you towards him or something. This effect should only be temporary and restore your original FOV afterwards, of course. However, sooner or later this causes a crash to console with this message:

host_error: bad fov: 180.000000

I had my FOV set to 105 in config.cfg before this happened, and when I checked after the crash, it was 170. it also happened when setting my initial FOV to 90, so this doesn't seem to be causing it.

Check autodemo and savegames here (136 KB)
(Last savegame and quicksave are relevant - I recommend activating godmode immediately.)

This should be the last issue with Malice.

At least, it seems pushing small crates works after all. No idea if it was something with latest builds that fixed it or I just didn't try pushing at the right angle. Main thing is you can push these crates, so I believe there is no need to look into it after all. 

Yeah sorry about that, complete oversight on my part - nobody tested in easy :[ 

Is there a fix anywhere for this map? Or would it be possible to make one? It's not the first time it has been requested. :P
