Lately I've been spending most spare moments of thought on how to get an update out with virtually no "true" free time.
I'm rather determined to get an update out --- I'm just trying to figure out "the how". Some of the great stuff in "Final Mark V" is irresistibly fun --- and I'm still quite irritated about the collision bug. I hope you are doing well, SleepWalkR. Admittedly, my finite time I haven't had much time to read up on your massive contribution to Quake mapping in TrenchBroom. :( Read me: http://quake-1.com/docs/utils/fitzquake_mark_5.txt
Download: http://quake-1.com/docs/utils/fitzquake_mark_v_final.zip Weight: 448k (the engine) Speed: Yes Features: Some Code: Better Map Editor Used: Notepad.exe Is Bug Free: Should be (cross fingers) QuakeC Version: Depends on gamedir Recap of features: Faster, auto-completes about everything including key names, brightness only affects window, skill level recorded in demo, optional multisample capability. Borrowed some of Quakespasm's finesse and tried to largely sync with entirety of Quakespasm's codebase. See read me. External Short version: Light, fast, quick, better. You won't likely notice any of the changes because they were implemented very softly and subtly, in FitzQuake style. Last version of Mark V. on my surface pro...
Seriously I have no idea what's up with this thing. It only runs DirectQ. fifth? what's the problem? spazzes out spining wildly?
that happens when the operating system ignores calls to set the mouse cursor position. you can avoid such calls with a the -dinput argument to most engines (often alternatively settable with in_dinput 1;in_restart). If your engine supports rawinput, that can also be used instead, fixing the issue in the same way. In FTE, _windowed_mouse 0 will enable the touchscreen mode that I hacked together for android - other engines that retain that cvar will simply disable the mouse entirely instead. DirectQ presumably uses dinput by default, hence why its the one that works out of the box - pretty much every other engine can use dinput too, they just don't by default. but it fails to load, just crashes when you click on it. And windows 8 doesn't give any explanation to why it wont load.
I reckon it's probably driver related to be honest. As per usual. I don't claim to have any working knowledge of a Surface Pro, but you could type "nomouse 1" in the console or add that to your config.
On an iPad, I know how it would interpret mouse events and if I had any free time would consider an enhanced merge of FitzQuake Mark V + Quakespasm + iPhone Quake and peek at FTEQW's Android stuff. I really was trying to complete merge Quakespasm and Mark V back in the spring -- but ran out of time before I could get it ready for a Mac OS X build. :( /End Dreams I was glad I was able to use a sizable chunk of the ideas that Spike and MH suggested to streamline the code. And something invaluable that Reckless provided.
Spike supplied a treasure trove of great info --- and many of these things are implemented like skill level and gamedir is recorded to demo (as one example) --- but he gave me tips on how to do some really awesome stuff. Alas. I ran out of time. fitzquake 085
heapsize 512000 game quoth map dis_sp6 die alot fitzquake mark5 final heapsize 512000 game quoth map dis_sp6 hunc alloc failure I had the idea of disappearing forever with the earlier post being the last trace of "Baker" ever on any noticeable forum.
And distrans, you ruined it all! Thanks for the bug report, I suppose I have only myself to blame. /Will investigate, solve and all that. Rats!@!@!@ Yes - thats a classic. But a womyn !?
...some would say that's not a bug i.e. more favourable than actually playing dis_sp6 :)
"Got it to work (dunno how long for), using driver version 9.17.10.2867 from 05/12/2012.
This was from going to settings and "refreshing" the system, not a complete reformat. There's definitely some driver issues with the surface pro. " Again, this does work on certain driver versions. Redownload:
http://quake-1.com/docs/utils/fitzquake_mark_v_final.zip @Others: ragequitting + jokes Well, I never thought of it like that. I'm just tired and worn out and at times I wonder if I have anything positive to contribute or have been some sort of Quake villain -- which was never my intent. SA: So all we have to do to keep this project ticking is find bug reports for Baker :) Haha, maybe first good laugh I've had in a while. Either way, I guess I'll keep the door ajar a bit the MarkV engine would support 'sv_freezeonclients' from the DarkPlaces engine. It is perfect for taking screenshots and checking out what AI are doing without affecting the player or console speed.
it would've been a total cheating?
you should also ban god, notarget, noclip and impulse commmands! ;) krimzon_sv_parseclientcommand can be used to block them if you really want that. they're already blocked in deathmatch.
"freezeall" command is what you seek.
I made it a command rather than a cvar for some technical reasons that are rather tedious to explain. freezeall is a toggle and is supported in Mark V in the server too as a recognized command.
