* "retrojam6_breezeep" crashes after opening silver door (after the ambushes)
** console text still tiny 
 
Are you using the latest version of Quakespasm? I've never heard if sucheck a thing happening in my map. 
Scr_conscale 2 Is The One 
If 2 is still tiny for you, use a higher number then. Just type the command in the console. Do you play Quake on a cinema screen?

Regardless of font size, you can just type "condebug" after the crash and copy the error message from condump.txt. Probably trying to run the map in AD or some mod. 
Scale Stuff 
Quakespasm has a Scale slider in its preferences menu which tweaks multiple things at once. That has always worked well for me. 
Recording Demos 
I have some video gear from my previous business that would make it extremely convenient to record demos posted here. I was wondering if people who post .dem files would mind if I recorded and posted theirs on a YT channel?

So for example I'd take some MapJam .dems record them and post them. I'd put a graphic on screen to give credit to the player and of course the map author as well.

I like watching Quake Grave etc. using Chromecast on a tv so that's why I gravitate more to streaming as opposed to just watching dems in game.

What do people think? Would you be cool if CI recorded an posted your gameplay .dems? 
That's A Cool Idea. 
You're welcome to mine whenever I post them! 
@bloughsburgh 
Excellent! I will probably do a trial run later this week and will startbwith some of yours. 
I Like This! 
You could check my speedrun of my first map on http://www.quaketastic.com in the demos/speedrun folder (file is gravelpitdayaspeed.zip, and needs quoth to play) 
@daya Will Do 
And it's a good choice as I have yet to play Quoth! 
Very Nice Idea 
tho videos with commentary are more appreciated 
 
A webtool to play, rec and upload .dem's automatically would be awesome. 
More On .dem Videos 
I'm trying to get my hardware to behave and record at 60hz/fps correctly. Something's going wrong in the pipeline tho. I'll figure it out. The way my setup works is HDMI out into a device called a Pix240i.

https://www.videodevices.com/products/portable-video-recorders/pix240i

That's a specialized recorder for digital cameras I had left leftover from my production business. I can pipe in a mic to the recorder and do commentary but I'm not sure I'll do that for every video. Thanks for the feedback. Hope to have the refresh rate solved by the weekend so I can do some of these.

The Pix cost me a fortune and I want to put it to use instead of buying another solution or using Fraps.

Baker pretty much disappeared from everywhere after February 20... 
 
Hope they're ok :( 
#28996 
Mugwump (aka bfg666) disappeared too, from both func_msg and quakeone.com Last login in January.
He was a huge spammer, so I wonder how no one noticed this anomaly ;) 
Don't Think That I've Left This Community Entirely. 
I usually pop in here to see anything new going on. When there isn't a new q1sp or a map jam announcement, I lurk. 
 
#28994 neat.

For q1sp I imagine it would be complicated. This tool seems geared to more standardised maps / engines etc as it is online play

Would need a way of uploading the necessary map/egnine and parameters for q1sp. Doable but.

Why not with a nice beast of a machine and have it rendered in 4k just because. 
 
That's an interesting point about maps. I don't see a description anywhere of what maps igmdb supports for the different games... it's not just official maps, because e.g. in the Quake renders I see aerowalk and QW race maps, but yeah it has to be some limited set and there's no option to upload the map. 
Fucking RL Rant 
I'm 49 and have a wife, two teenaged kids and a dog. By the time I get off work I have zero fucking mental energy and desire to sit in front of a computer to map. (I sit in front on one all day) I have a metric fuckton of personal things I need to take care of too. My to-do list is exhaustive. It's depressing. Just had my yearly physical yesterday and the doc say I HAVE to lose weight and get more exercise. Big fucking surprise.

I have a great life - I really do have a lot to be thankful for - but man it would be so much better if I had more free time. It bugs me to read this forum and then not have time to do what I really enjoy - which is mapping.

Just venting. Thanks for reading! 
Oh Man. 
I need to map my ass off before I turn 30. 
@otp 
Yes. Highly recommended. :) 
 
Yeah IRL shit is kicking my ass at the moment as well. I havent really mapped since the speed mapping/24 hr jam.

Best of luck! 
Reallife 
I think Quake is a great opportunity to escape reallife, at least for a moment. 
Bender ^h^h^h Baker's Q1 Sig 
Being exactly one-half good and one-half evil has advantages. When a portal opens to the antimatter universe, my opposite is just me with a goatee....
