A number of old releases were made for GLQuake and never tested in WinQuake or an engine that supports fullbrights. And as a result, you have fullbright patches in the map textures.
It is possible that in the future, some sort of informational only external Similar to the idea of producing external I'm just filing this thought here. I have problems with these on practical grounds.
A A There's no such comparison available for Sure, you can do string comparisons of certain fields in the worldspawn entity but it just doesn't seem as robust. I'm aware that Quakespasm has it's own way of checking these, by means of only loading them from the same gamedir, but I can see a case where someone might want to keep these modifications in a second gamedir so they have the option of playing with either the original content or modified content. I personally have the extended Dismal Oubliette (among other things) in a pak2.pak in ID1 so how can I be sure that a hypothetical I don't pretend to have an answer to this, just highlighting potential issues as they occur to me so that we don't end up with another half-baked standard that isn't as robust as possible from the outset. How can you determine if an external
Right now, you can't. But I guess a how about... don't use the
i.e. id1/maps/e1m1.ent won't override mymod/maps/e1m1.bsp likewise, a how about... don't use the
I'm not saying this is something that does happen, but I'd prefer a solution that can handle a case where somebody manages to get e.g a hipnotic start.ent into their ID1 directory. This is mostly coming from reading various QuakeOne threads and observing the difficulties that people have with even getting the most basic stuff set up right. i think my suggestion would handle that by rejecting the start.ent (start.bsp would be later in the search path in that case.)
Hmm... Actually a pretty good check would be to compare number of submodels in the bsp... since they are referenced in the That would only fail if the I think QS already does what metl suggested; here's a comment from gl_model.c:
// use ent file only from the same gamedir as the map // itself or from a searchpath with higher priority. Shouldn't happen, I'd like to be able to reproduce that. Can you give me a scenario where it happens, like any command-line flags (heapsize), mod/map. Assuming the win32 0.90 exe? You're just pressing space to restart when dead, not loading a save? Can you see an increase in the frame times reported by r_speeds?
the powerup flash is built in and can't be disabled.
although, amusingly, if you type 'bf' into the console, it will play it. i forgot, but it's not actually 'built in', but is part of the progs.dat.
The code actually sends a 'bf' console command when you pick up items. In theory, you could make a mod to disable it. You could also create a modified engine that makes "bf" a command that does nothing - or have a cvar that introduces that change. I read ranger's post as looking for such a cvar, dunno if it's an existing feature in quakespasm or elsewhere...
This one is a really minor issue. It's about as non-urgent as they come, since working around it merely requires typing in the console commands separately.
I noticed that you cannot autocomplete map names when joining multiple console commands using a semicolon. The following happens to me on QS 0.90 using the Quoth mod as an example. Any collection of Quake maps will do. I start the engine and enter the command "game quoth". There are now maps titled breakable, e1m1quoth etc. available to launch from the console. If I type "map " (including the space), I can press tab to autocomplete them. This works as intended. Let's say I want to play on Hard. I type "skill 2; map " and try to autocomplete the maps now. It doesn't work. It only offers to autocomplete commands instead of map names, which isn't right in this context. If I type in a proper map name, the commands still work, as you'd expect. Presumably the autocomplete logic considers the whole console command line and not the part after the last semicolon. This would be a nice little thing to fix if you revamp the autocompletion feature some day. SQ saves unneeded levelshots TGAs in the game's maps folder.
These image are never seen ingame and the files take up space, so QS should not generate these files anymore I was wondering if anyone with AMD/ATI cards could try this build for me (I've tested some intel and nvidia cards already, but if you have those you're welcome to try it too):

A good commandline would be: "-heapsize 256000 -game jam3 +map jam3_tronyn" then check the first number of the r_speeds when looking at the demon face. If it's not too much trouble, checking the r_speeds with QS 0.90.0 for comparison would be great too. With any luck, the frame time should be half of what it was in 0.90.0. Thanks! I guess you mean the start of jam3_tronyn. On my HD 6750 it improves from (some version of 0.90) ~ 13 ms to under 5 ms.
Havent played that map yet. Third of the way through now... Not bad :)
