i was thinking there may be some mod that executes commands from a config to set things up and maybe they typed the command with/without caps. 

Is fence texture support on .mdl planned? 

Is there a way to change water color? Underwater everything is beige and in dark corridors I can't see anything. 

try setting "gl_cshiftpercent 50" in the console (default is 100) 

Mark V has a cvar r_watercolor for the underwater cshift color. There is also r_lavacolor, r_slimecolor.

In the engine code itself, it is referred to as called r_watercshift as a more descriptive internal name. 

Thank you, ericw. Now underwater fights aren't a pain anymore.

PS. I'm planning to speedrun a forgotten map pack. 

Am I correct in understanding that, on OSX, there is no way to suppress the Quakespasm launch dialogue (which allows the selection of command line parameters and resolution)?

I am writing a shell script to compile my map and then launch it in the game and it would be great if I could pass an argument that tells Quakespasm to suppress the launch dialogue and go straight into the game engine. 

open ./QuakeSpasm-0.91.0-beta.app --args -nolauncher

Substitute the correct bundle name, of course. 

Excellent, thank you. 

how do you launch this engine windowed with a specific size?
when working on maps, i prefer to keep it windowed... i am using these args:
-vid_fullscreen 0 -width 1440 -height 900 -bpp 32
it starts windowed, yet it is not using the size i specified with width and height... 

Any chance of a command similar to "kill", but...

like kill, it reloads the map but it preserves the player's position, angles, and flags such as god, notarget, noclip etc...

When mapping I find the time it takes me to noclip over to the distant area I was working on after each map reload, really adds up, especially when making millions of tiny incremental tweaks to lighting and things... 

This works fine for me:

c:\quake\quakespasm.exe -width 400 -height 300 -window 

cool, thanks. looks like -window does the trick :) 

Use "testplayerstart"? 

wassat?

not a command it seems 

could you do that by relying on an alias with multiple commands and some QC support?

impulse 50; kill; impulse 51

eg: impulse50 encodes player position and angles into temp1, kill restarts the map, impulse 51 uses data in temp1 to reset position? 

well I was hoping there would be a solution that doesn't require the use of a custom mod 

ok I can abuse the save/load system to reload the world whilst preserving the entity state of everything...

that may do for now :} 

It is an entity i place to avoid noclipping 2000 units over and over.
AD doesn't have it, i used the normal "info_player_start" there.

You'll see a warning of multiple start entities in the engine, usually the engine picks the first it finds to place the player. (or was it the last?eric?) 

Right - I have never managed to get region compile to work in netradiant, so I'd have to stick to using one info_player_start and keep moving it around with me, which would be a pain.

Meanwhile, I have stuck this in my config:

bind "F5" "echo Dev Reload...; wait; save devsave; wait; load devsave;"

Of course no entity changes can be viewed with this, but it works a charm for refreshing the world geometry and lighting, which will save me a bunch of pain already. 

Windows Defender is now detecting the latest QuakeSpasm as malware:

See: http://i.imgur.com/UfR6zS9.png

It detected it when I tried to run the version already on my computer, and then when I tried to download the engine again, it caught it again on the download. 

Lets move this project to github? 

^ 

This image shows the culprit file when it detected it on my existing installed version:

See that it flags the file quakelibopusfile-0.dll

I'm assuming it's a false positive, but it's stopping me from playing it right now :( 

delete your HDD, throw the screen out the window(just to be sure), and melt your HDDs with thermite(to be super sure). Thanks Sourceforge!
