Fitzquake Mark V
I wasn't planning on doing this mini-project, it started as an effort to address some Fitzquake issues, fix them the right way up to Fitzquake standards (i.e. do it right, once and properly versus continual releases) and donate it back.

FitzQuake Mark V Download:

http://quake-1.com/docs/utils/fitzquake_mark_v.zip

Short version: Eliminated most issues in FitzQuake thread, most issues I can even remember hearing of ever and marked every single one clearly with a very minimal implementation.

It may be the case that only metlslime and Quakespasm and engine coders may find this engine upgrade of interest.

Features: 5 button mouse support, single pass video mode, external mdl textures, alpha textures (like RMQ), record demo at any time, rotation support, video capture (bind "capturevideo toggle"), console to clipboard, screenshot to clipboard, entities to clipboard, tool_texturepointer, tool_inspector (change weapons to see different info), clock fix, contrast support, fov does not affect gun, gun displays onscreen, Quakespasm wrong content protection, external ent support, session-to-session history and .. (see readme).

Resetting server-bound keys works. Good feature.

Hm, server-set aliases are cleared rather than reset to user settings. For example, if I set:

alias colors "say colors!"

Then connect to FvF -- which sets alias colors to an impulse to set your colors (including a hack to force the unsupported colors 14 and 15 to work -- which reminds me, how about support for colors 14 and 15? heh).

Then disconnect from the server. Now the "colors" alias is just cleared. I guess you just do an unalias command?

I don't see this as being much of a problem though....


Downloads work. Now do I turn it off? heh. It downloads loc file, which I have no use for.

It TRIES to download fvf sounds, but fails because those aren't located on Quakeone.

It successfully downloaded terra1.bsp 
 
Gunter: Type ... find loc in console. Should tell you what to do ;-)

Want to promote the idea that "find" solves a ton of questions instantly.

I'll add the FVF sounds to the primary depot. 
Hdfolder 
corrigendum

The hd folder can only be selected during the initialisation process and not afterwards.

If the demos are active, the initialisation console is skipped and no further initialisation commands can be introduced.

Once the demos are running, the hdfolder command only generate the following message "please disconnect first".

For users like me .. it can be confusing! 
 
I'll make hdfolder auto-disconnect. I was considering that since "game" already does that. 
 
Ah, the sound downloads work now!

I guess it doesn't download "skins" because they are attached to a model... annnd, yeah, that would be tricky since each server might have a different set of skins attached to the standard player model.... Hm, perhaps Mark V could keep a different folder for each server it connects to, and if it does not have the skinned models for that server, it could grab them. But then I guess that would require a different folder on Quakeone for each server.... Yeah, tricky.

But it could work -- you'd just have specific things in a server's folder instead of general things like the maps.

So like, you have a download folder for "fvf.servequake.com" on Quakeone that contains the FvF files, then when a client gets an invalid skin request, it knows to try and download that model for the server it is connected to, and it will create an "fvf.servequake.com" folder in id1 to store those files....

Though I suppose instead of doing it piece by piece like that, if you just have an "fvf.servequake.com" folder at Quakeone, it could just contain the FvF custom pak file to download, and Mark V could automatically grab it when it connects to fvf.servequake.com

Of course... that would take longer... but it would be kind of nice. Though perhaps that would need a user prompt, "automatically download pak file for this server (15 meg)?"

Wait, were "instructions posted above" adding the -nomultisample -nostencil?


That seems to make no difference, other than adding:

Warning: Stencil disabled at command line
Warning: Multisample disabled at command line

to the log.


Also, I could email this stuff instead of cluttering this thread.... 
Revision #2 
http://quakeone.com/proquake/mark_v_2016-11-16b.zip

http://quakeone.com/proquake/mark_v_dx_2016-11-16b.zip

Everything fixed except ...
1) Icaro HD folder. (Will be fixed in revision 3)
2) mfx/fifth tidle console. (Will be fixed in revision 3)

@fifth - Made 2 mirrors that can see other, the 2nd mirror becomes "non-mirror" in that frame. 
 
What are last 5 lines of qconsole.log when crash on your old XP computer? That may be enough for me.

Be sure to you are using -developer in the command line. 
@gunter 
Stab in the dark .. possible fix.

Let me know!
http://quakeone.com/proquake/gunter_nov16.zip

Make sure you run this .exe which has a different name. Crosses fingers. 
 
Oh, sorry, I missed that small post you made above telling me to use -developer.

I got the new version, and here's what I get as the last lines after crash:



Playing demo from demo1.dem.
Mouse Released
Serverinfo packet received.
Host_ClearMemory
Clearing memory

Using protocol 15
e1m3 loadname
sv.modelname

huh, and if it matters, if I disable the startup demos and just try to load the Start map, the blank lines that appeared after "clearing memory" above (I deleted them because they just looked blank), instead say:


SpawnServer: start
Clearing memory
Programs occupy 403K.
PR_AllocStringSlots: realloc'ing for 256 slots

start loadname

Try the one I just posted that has a possible fix. http://quakeone.com/proquake/gunter_nov16.zip 
 
Sorry again! I missed your "stab in the dark" ... This "forum" page is a bit hard to navigate, heh.

One moment....

Nope, no good. qconsole log seems the same. 
 
You up for one last try in the next 15 minutes?

I think your video card may not support glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE) 
 
Ok... Gunter.

Do it again, with **zero external textures** in your Quake folder.

If it works when you do that, your video card doesn't support glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE)

If it doesn't, it's something else. 
 
Yes, I'm ready to test.
The last GL version I COULD run was:

mark_v_20150416b_windows.zip
mark_v_e.exe

Would that happen to be right before you added glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE)? 
 
Yeah, I disabled (actually, renamed the folders) all external things for testing already.

Running the DX version to check, there are definitely no textures loading. 
 
I'm checking between that and 2015 May 2 version ... see if anything obvious ... 
Nothing Dead Obvious And Easy To Reverse, Sorry Gunter ... I Tried 
I gave it my all to try to make your old graphics card work -- all the possible leads I have would require a drastic rewrite (check out Quakespasm's thread to see insanely stupid and possibilities that bad opengl drivers can cause).

Looks like you'll have to use the DX version, but at least you can set shadows -1 and have weapon transparency now. 
 
Well, gosh darn it to heck. 
 
Solution: update graphics card? 
@fifth And/or Mfx (or Anyone With Issue) 
re: International keyboard support

For some reason I can't seem to pull down the console even though it's bound to tilde. I rebound it to z and it works.

What language keyboard + keyboard version are you using?

Like for example, I'm betting mfx uses German Qwertz. I need to know what the keyboard key you expect to toggle the console (and whether or not you are doing shift).

Shift + ESC should unconditionally toggle the console on any language keyboard as a temp workaround.

In the console, also as a temp measure, typing in_keymap 0 may make things behave as you expect.

Mostly if you guys can communicate to me how it should work, I should be able to get it right ... 
@mugwump 
It's a laptop ... you need to make Gunter mad enough he throws it in a burst of anger. Haha
