Distrans' latest map
http://shub-hub.com/files/maps_singleplayer/dis_sp6.zip
crashes my box, just after the intro fininshes. Seems sound related, as "-nosound" is fine.
Hoping for a new beta post sometime ;> 

It works very fine for me. I am using "fitzquake -sndspeed 48000 -heapsize 128000" as default.
Maybe you didn't increase the heapsize?

Making the console log to the shell the game was spawned from would be so helpful for these things. *nudges Sleepwalkr* 

fog is broken
density can only be 0 or 1 for me, values <1 are treated as 0. Could be an driver issue maybe (no idea) so someone please try and confirm. 

How can I test this fog problem? Dammit, I guess I'll have to finish the network code sooner or later and release it. 

load a random map and type this in the console:
fog 1 1 1
White thick fog should appear. Now type
fog 0.9 1 1 1
The fog should be a bit less thick (density). At the moment it disappears completely. 

fog 1 1 1 1
for the first one of course, not only three 1s.

Hmmm.. Thanks. Works here too.

I think i nag too much, but... I'd like to see engine authors increase the defaults on these f-ing hard coded memory sizes, especially pro engines like Fitz.

Played out dis_sp6 last night. No probs.. 

I compiled it on Debian Etch using SDL 1.2.11. Sound has a high frequency crackle.

Card is Realtek ALC885 chipset using ALSA with snd-hda-intel driver.

Problem is present at -sndspeed 11025.
Using -sndspeed 44100 makes it more noticable.
With -sndspeed 48000 it becomes so subtle you wouldn't notice it if you weren't listening for it, the only cue you get is an occasional slowdown.

Respect for the port, the sound actually works on this one which is much better than the weird hacks you have to do to get the OSS mmap() thing to work with ALSA. 

I noticed the same, but thought it was fine with sndspeed 48000. I'm not sure how to fix it or whether it is a bug in the quake code and not SDL. Since I'm not a Linux user and have limited time, I will probably not fix this problem. 

SpleepwalkR, can you see if your IDE (assuming you're using such a thing) has the option to output a simple Makefile for the Linux version instead of its project file?

Those of us that simply use gcc in a terminal to compile their stuff would surely benefit. The project file isn't too useful here.

To see what a Makefile looks like, just look at the Joequake or Tyrquake source or whatever. :-)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be grateful. 

And if you don't want to make a makefile (who would!) just provide a gcc command to compile the whole thing. 

If inertia was a program he would be a open-source nag-screen.

I am eternally grateful for Sleepwalkr doing this hard work. The programming IDE he uses (Codeblocks) happens to be open-source and free. So, if you want to play with the code, why not use that. Or find the gcc command yourself, you leet FOSS haxx0r. You can only profit from learning new stuff.

gp: I tried when this was new and I think there either was no such function or it was not working. At least I did not manage to get any makefile. 

presumably he uses xcode, which is free. so you could download that. 

codeblocks? i take it back, then.

See posts #40 - #56 for about compiling the thing. ...And I realised the other day that fitz is the only engine to chew up a miserly 20% cpu. Cool. 

Really, folks, I'm just doing this because I want a decent engine for OS X. The linux version is just a byproduct, which is why I'm not going to be overly motivated to dig around CodeBlocks or whatever to generate makefiles. As Spirit pointed out, CB is free and you can try yourself. 

is the performance supposed to be not as good when running this version on mac leopard vs regular glquake on win xp? 

In my experience there's a loss of around 10-30% with SDL. And XP is possibly the most optimised PC gaming OS ever, so Mac will be behind at least a little extra here. 

I've been using this version of fitz in windows for all my betas and haven't noticed any problems - if anything does crop up I'll post. 

i wasn't complaining, i just wanted to check if there was something i was doing wrong. :) 

I have just released a new beta of the engine. It fixes lots of bugs and has TCP networking through SDL_net.

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

- is good news. Works nicely here :> 

glad to hear that 

Lots of improvements and fixes... Evrything works like a charm now on Mac Osx!

But... The engine doesn't allow to set the command key to strafe right, as I'm used to(strange choice, I know). So I'm stuck with only left strafe. And this sucks.

Any ideas of a workaround?

Great, great job, though, keep it up!
Thanks!
