Func_Msgboard: Fitzquake SDL Version Beta

Posted by SleepwalkR on 2008/03/08 00:05:21

I just published a beta release of my SDL version of the Fitzquake engine. The main goal of this version is to allow Fitzquake to run on all major platforms. I provide builds for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Grab them at http://www.kristianduske.com/fitzquake/

Windows and Linux users take note that you have to install SDL 1.2.10 or better.

Windows users please also be aware that this port does not do anything better on Windows than metlslimes original version. Actually, it does less, but I would still like to get your feedback because there's a chance that the official version will be switched to SDL eventually. That would go a lot smoother if we ironed out the bugs on all platforms first.

Have fun and don't forget to send in your feedback and bug reports.

This is good stuff! Runs nicely on my Mac. Thanks man, great work! Now I can try some of these newer maps...

Excellent!

What is it with you Mac users that you don't know how to exclude those __MACOSX folders from archives. ;p

We can't see that there are such folders :-). I'll fix that later.

It's probably the same as Windows users unknowingly include thumbs.db and desktop.ini.

"It's probably the same as Windows users unknowingly include thumbs.db and desktop.ini."

Exactly. It's hidden on our end.

Haaa

This would never happen if you used Lunix!
I didn't mean to spawn a discussion about this btw, just wanted to mention it.

Yeah

Perfect would be FitzQuake with its ultimate graphics to run smoothly online like FuhQuake. What is it that makes FitzQuake look better than GL FuhQuake actually?

the secret ingredient is metlslime :-). What is it that makes FuhQuake run more smoothly online than FitzQuake?

I would think the fact that FuhQuake is based on QW has something to do with it. :)

The main thing that makes FitzQuake look better than any other GL engine is the improved lighting model. Not sure exactly what metlslime has done there, but it's certainly nicer than the other GL ports.

p.s. Sleepy, good work on the ports. I have no use for them but it's good to know that mac and linux people can enjoy the best version of Quake on their systems!
