try gl_ztrick 0 
 
frib/than: there's no ztrick in fitzquake, so that shouldn't help (if it does anyway, i'm confused) 
Metl 
There is, and it does.

My display was completely fucked in Fitz when I got an ATI card. It took me ages to figure out what it was. I just had gl_ztrick 1 lingering in my config files from the old days.

Apparently gl_ztrick 1 uses a slightly dodgy method of clearing the depth buffer that isn't supported on ATI cards/drivers. At least that's what a graphics programmer at work said when I asked him about it - he could just be guessing. I suppose if anyone would know, it'd be you metl :D 
Actually, Metl 
You're probably right... my memory of this is very hazy (obviously) but now that I think about it, I think what really happened to me was that everything except FitzQuake was fucked, and FQ was the only one that worked properly.

I still had to figure out the problem and fix it so I could get my QW client and everything else working properly, but if this was the way it all went down then as you suggested, FitzQuake is the win and the rest lose.

try gl_ztrick 0

Not old enough to shut the fuck about it though. 
 
There might be a word missing from that post. Not to worry, it'll show up somewhere else. 
Up 
 
 
it'll show up

oooo, subtle.

It still worked. My brain inserted the missing word anyway. I actually had to read it 3 times to determine what was missing when you mentioned it... 
 
I love when the brain does that. Someone corrects something and I have to go back and look for the error since it was auto corrected in my head. 
This Is Mission Control...

Or The Valve Pack 
$100 - if you don't have the Orange box - comes with all Valve games.

Probably not much use to anyone here. 
Space Gameplay / Map 
you guys have ideas how to make space interesting in a space ship game? it annoys me that it's just some empty box with no real strategic stuff in it :(

It's obviously interesting for fps wing-commander likes, but for other game types? I'm thinking rpgish and/or tactics.

Homeworld somehow pulled it off.. but i can't really remember how they did it besides ressource asteroids. there was one (annoying) mission where you couldn't leave a certain path because of radiation around it. Probably can use nebulas that effect sensors,etc., too.

How do movies make space fight interesting? i remember something star trekish where they hid inside nebula.. 
Umm Well 
Gravity is extremely fascinating. And what about avalanche effects with asteroids. Theoretically you could send a huge asteroid to earth by pushing a small rock just a little in the asteroid belt if you had infinite calculation capability and infinite time - how they all affect each other and effects start to build up etc.

But you need different timescales to this than traditional airplane battle style space sims.

Think about the curved paths in space, slingshots from planets, everything...
