Func_Msgboard: "DarkPlaces Mark V" Release ==> Zircon Engine

"DarkPlaces Mark V" Release ==> Zircon Engine

Posted by Baker on 2023/02/28 10:09:42

The Zircon engine is a touchup of DarkPlaces with 40 small modifications, bug-fixes and slightly polished enhancements similar to the once upon a time "FitzQuake Mark V".

Short list:
1) Streamlined menu with scaling
2) ALT-ENTER fullscreen/windowed mode switch
3) Ctrl +/- adjusts console height
4) Windows scaling fix (so menu is not off-center if Windows scaling is on)
5) FitzQuake noclipping for mapping
6) sv_cheats defaults to 0 for developers/mappers convenience
7) Lower cpu when using the console
8) "folder" "copy" "pos" commands

Hopefully some/all of these will get rolled into official DarkPlaces at some point.

You wouldn't know from here, this is actually getting more interest than I imagined.

I woke up some of the DarkPlaces enthusiasts on Moddb and it was ranked #153 of 52336 earlier.
