Func_Msgboard: Quakespasm Engine

Posted by Baker on 2010/08/20 23:27:49

This engine needs its own thread.

Feedback: I like the OS X version, but I have to start it from the terminal for it to work and can't just double-click it like a traditional OS X app. I'm sure you guys already know this, either way great engine.

I Use

#1818 posted by ijed on 2016/01/18 19:47:25

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

#1825 posted by Spirit on 2016/01/18 21:41:03

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

Thanks for the new Quakespasm update. You guys are awesome.

Agreed!

MD3 For The Shambler In QS Engine? :)

#1831 posted by Skiffy on 2016/01/23 20:45:45

So yea... this guy has an MD3 version as well... I convert him to MDL afterwards.

I would love to include a more precise version for folks to use in Quake Spasm in the future. If that lovely tech gets added then I would just for joy.

OK here is my wishlist:

What are the chances of sticking in a simple external file read/write ability, accessed via QuakeC?

Something a bit like this? http://www.quake-1.com/docs/quakesrc.org/144.html

#1833 posted by Quakeisdead on 2016/01/24 16:46:51

I posted it in the thread for the new Q1SP map, but whenever I try to start a game with this new updated client, the game exits to the desktop. Anybody know what's going on?

Is this with the "Experimental build" in the oms3 thread (quakespasm-rf6d[...].exe)?

Argh, crash to desktop is the worst. No error message / dialog I assume?
Could be some dll conflicts.
If you don't mind trying a clean setup, this could help: create a empty directory. Extract all files in the QS zip. create an "id1" subdirectory in the same dir, and copy your pak0.pak/pak1.pak files to there.

#1835 posted by quakeisdead on 2016/01/24 19:11:49

Haven't tried with the one in the oms3 thread, just the newest one in this thread and on the quakespasm site, 91 i believe. I'll try a clean install when I get the chance and report back.

#1836 posted by quakeisdead on 2016/01/24 20:16:20

Alright so making a clean install didn't work either. To answer the previous question yep, no error message at all, just exits to desktop.

#1837 posted by Spirit on 2016/01/24 22:20:41

Run it from a cmd window, might show something

#1838 posted by ericw on 2016/01/25 04:16:11

quakeisdead, ok, thanks.

Did a previous version of QS work for you?
There are 4 QS build to choose from for windows, 32/64-bit and SDL1/2 - which are you trying, or do all fail? the full download list is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/quakespasm/files/Windows/

One thing to check is enter "gl_info" in the console. It'll print a bunch of GL extension info, but scroll up with PageUp and check the GL_VENDOR, GL_RENDERER, GL_VERSION.

Another idea is launch with the "-condebug" command line option (create a shortcut and put it in the end of the target field.) This creates a qconsole.log file that may have some info on the crash.

QC File Access

#1839 posted by mh on 2016/01/25 11:20:43

If you're going to implement this, then I strongly recommend that you first implement a Sys_FileOpenAppend function in your sys_*.c rather than using the zone-memory nastiness in the original tutorial. I have no idea why the original authors didn't do this.

#1840 posted by quakeisdead on 2016/01/26 05:11:08

Not a mapper or a programmer so I have absolutely no idea what any of that is. I guess I'll wait til the next stable release of Quakespasm to play again

Case-sensitive Console

#1841 posted by parubaru on 2016/01/26 12:54:50

I just realized you can type in small or big.

Is this a feature for case-sensitive OSs?

In Windows versions it does not seem to be a very useful feature, because if you happen to use a capital letter in a console command it says 'unkown command'.

RE: Case-sensitive Console

#1842 posted by szo on 2016/01/26 17:26:36

Seems like it is not case-sensitive for commands, but it _is_ so for cvars. The behavior seems to be the same in the original quake source too.
