That's the realm of QuakeC, and not something that can be done in engine without the hideousest of hacklets.

Not sure if this helps but all non-music sounds must be mono in Quakespasm. Maybe there are some stereo files in that pack designed for use with other less compatible Quake engines.
Really?
#3400 posted by Qmaster on 2018/05/30 20:30:36
That explains why some of my sounds from a few mods fail in game.
@qmaster
As far as my tests this is the case with QS. I don't have a PC at work today so I can't confirm. But as I see in the DP docs stereo support is mentioned. "Stereo sound file support (useful for cd tracks)" I'm assuming that this was added, some mods were created with stereo files that break compatibility with Fitz variants. Which mods are messed up? I'd like to pursue this further and if you want I can mix the tracks down to mono for you.
@qmaster
I read a bit further in the docs and I am right -- DP added stereo sound playback for mods.

stuff like this is why I made QSS convert stereo to mono on load.
also, change sndspeed to anything other than 11025 and that will disable quakespasm's low-quality filter.
I'll Have To Check
#3404 posted by Qmaster on 2018/06/01 00:38:52
To save myself the headache of changing precache file paths in the qc when merging in from mods, I kept the files in the same folders.
This had the drawbacks of not being able to tell which files came from which mods as well has name conflicts.
So...might be a while before I can tidy up and get a comprehensive list to find those again.
@qmaster
Don't sweat it. I can peruse the files and check on my end if they are included in keep.

PNG Screenshot File Sizes
#3408 posted by anonymous user on 2018/06/17 09:58:11
It seems like the PNG screenshots that QS writes are larger than they have to be? If I resave them in Paint or Paint.NET the file size is halved with no apparent difference in quality.
Also, I would greatly appreciate an option to disable the "wrote xxx.png" message.

And why does that bother you?
#3410 posted by muk on 2018/06/17 18:34:23
speaking for myself:
When taking multiple screen shots in a row to perhaps catch a monster in a specific position, for example, you have to wait for that message to go away or to use host_timescale to slow down monsters.
When I have r_drawviewmodel 0 and crosshair 0 for screenshots, itd be nice to have some sort of way to avoid all on screen prompts and such.
Freezeall
You can freeze monsters at will. Mark V has the freezeall command and other engines have sv_freezenonclients 1
#3412 posted by ericw on 2018/06/17 19:37:33
The large PNG's are intentional to try to limit hitching. They're compressed in the main thread of the engine, and default settings of png libraries I tried caused unacceptably long freezes in the game (like 0.5 seconds - 1 second depending on the resolution.)
If we moved the PNG compression to a background thread, we could use good but slow compression settings - this is just more work to set up.
Agree with a cvar for hiding the "wrote" message.
#3409
Sometimes I like to take multiple shots at once, but then the best "takes" have the message printed on them which isn't too good aesthetically.
#3414 posted by metlslime on 2018/06/17 20:24:32
There is a cvar called "con_notifytime" or similar which controls how long the console text appears at top of screen. Try setting it to zero, maybe even make a alias that sets it to zero before your screenshot and then back to default after?
#3415 posted by muk on 2018/06/17 20:26:34
Thanks, metl. That works. Doesnt show on screen but still shows in the console so one can confirm screenshots have been taken.

What mukor said. I've never seen a screenshot with the message showing. Maybe an older version of QS?

Screenshots And Messages
#3418 posted by mh on 2018/06/18 10:41:39
One way of handling this is, rather than taking the screenshot immediately, just flag an "scr_screenshot" qboolean to true, then run SCR_UpdateScreen and if scr_screenshot is true selectively suppress certain UI elements. Finally glReadPixels and capture the screen.

yes, taking one screenshot wont display the message in the screenshot.
spam the screenshot key and youll get the message in the screenshot.
some people implement real world photography concepts into screenshots and one of those concepts is to take a quick series of images to then pull the best one from.
Think of skateboarding where they use shutter speeds to capture the whole trick then pick one of the pictures to use on the cover.
