Enjoyable Changes
Raised limits:
Default max_edicts 8192 (was 2048) and no longer saved to config.cfg.
Default heapsize 256 MB (was 64 MB).
Default zone 4 MB (was 384 KB).
Raised MAX_SFX to 1024 (was 512).

default zone is nice. it's a mostly unknown setting, and most people don't notice it like they would -heapsize, but it causes crashes if not set high enough. thanks for that!

Someone should add a "-singleplayer" command line or something that just jacks everything to the max. I'm not networking, I don't care ... I just want to play this level without crashing. :)

That's not actually necessary: the engine should be able to detect when a single player game is being played (if (sv.active && !dedicated && svs.maxclients == 1) or something similar, and automatically tune itself.

Anything that means people have to write less crud in configs and command line arguments is a positive step.

mh - That would be awesome.

None of those new defaults has anything directly to do with networking or single player, by the way.
max_edicts was a cvar in FitzQuake dating back to at least 0.80 because in earlier times some people would use GLQuake or another custom engine (there used to be tons of them) and GLQuake had a max_edicts limit of 640.
FitzQuake allowed you to set max_edicts from 2048 to 640 to make sure things worked in standard Quake without using a different engine so a mapper could ensure wide compatibility.
Site Blocked

Just as an FYI, I recently installed uBlock Origin as I finally got sick and tired of the increasing amount of ads online and mainly because the latest version of Chrome had a terrible freezing problem. One of the filter lists this plugin uses blocks Sourceforge. It can be disabled, but just thought I would let you guys know. Maybe switch hosting of the site to Github Pages?

So you have an adblock plug-in that blocks SourceForge ...
And your idea is that to accommodate your adblock plug-in, that the Quakespasm guys should uproot all of their machinery and tools from SourceForge to GitHub because of your plug-in?
Is this a correct way to understand what you are suggesting to the Quakespasm guys?
Lmao

I use uBlock Origin too. Just click "Temporarily" olol

I use FireFox + AdBlock Plus and Quakespasm's SourceForge page works just fine. That's all I'm saying!

Not telling anyone to move anything. Just letting them know. Sourceforge has bigger problems anyway.
I'm a savvy user so yes I unblocked it. I was just posting an FYI.

Adblock. The original one written by one guy.
I don't really trust the others since I got massive slowdown from Adblock Plus one time and another from uBlock.
#1819 posted by JneeraZ on 2016/01/18 20:06:32
Adblock ... I also installed a YouTube specific ad blocker.
#1820 posted by JneeraZ on 2016/01/18 20:07:08
Called, surprisingly enough ...
"Adblock for Youtube"
Heh.

I was just saying suggestion sounds a bit extreme. ;-)
And if other adblockers don't have issue, sounds like uBlock needs to get on the ball.
#1822 posted by Kinn on 2016/01/18 20:40:21
Adblock seemed to hog resources. uBlock Origin is light as a feather, in my experience (Chrome). All the kool kids seem to use uBlock Origin also.
Huh
#1823 posted by ijed on 2016/01/18 21:08:34
I use adblock on its own to block youtube crap as well, seems to work fine.
It does have a problem with more than one ad blocker installed at once though (on chrome) because each becomes a new instance that doesn't play nice with the others.
I use ABP... seems standard

Just fyi �block Origin is the best ad-block around, especially in terms of performance.
Pro-neckbeards might like �Matrix.

I don't have any ad blocker specifically, just NoScript and Ghostery. However, my HOSTS file is nearly a megabyte in size and has close to 30,000 entries.
It's extremely rare for me to be blocked from a reputable site, and I almost never see an ad.
Thanks
