adding -noglsl to the command line does fix it but it still refuses to start a new game.

here is the condump without the -noglsl thanks for the quick help

Since -noglsl fixed it I decided to test out the uncoupled frame rate that spike offers and noticed in the condump that it was using the intel integrated graphics so I went into the nvidia control panel and forced it to use the 1070 I have and now it looks fine and launches a new game gust fine, even without -noglsl. Thanks for the help and I'll provide any additional info I can to fix the intel graphics if you want. 

That helps, I'll see if I can reproduce on a system with Intel graphics 

What is the particle limit currently set at?

For the "teleport-in without particle effects", Are you certain it's a map issue? For example, sometimes when a group of monsters tele-in, only one or two will have the particle effect, while the rest only play the tele sound

When going up, on an elevator, sometimes the player 'sinks into it' then 'pops out', even multiple times in longer rides. Especially if you look up while the elevator is going up

Mark V and FTE you can resize the window on the fly.

FTE has had the ability for a decade.

Note: It is NOT easy to implement at all. Especially with the FitzQuake canvas system for several different reasons.

Plus since FitzQuake never had doesn't have screen-resolution independent settings, it would look exceptionally stupidly trying to do it ... unless you code screen-resolution independent settings in. Which is also a metric ton of work.

And you have to be able to handle unusual FOV situations and unusual aspect ratios (with these, you must pad!). Mark V and FTE can do this only because of screen resizing. Yet even more fun ...

(I enjoying taking concepts that Spike does and trying to take the concept a little further than Spike did, mostly because I think it entertains Spike a little. Plus most of Spike's user interface have been refreshing in a world chalked full of the dull ..) 

What is the particle limit currently set at?

There shouldn't be a particle limit at all in 2018.

This made sense in 1996 when Quake had to run on an MS-DOS PC with 8mb of RAM. In 2018 I don't see any reason for it.

So if free_particles runs out engines should just Hunk_Alloc another bunch of them and eventually everything will settle down at the highest number that the map needs without any artificially imposed constraints. 

Id love to see screenshots take the "message" field (name) of the map to use for naming rather than spasmXXX.png. 

errrrr...

a more reasonable idea would be to use the file name of the currently loaded bsp, but at any rate, ditching the spasmXXX.png naming scheme sounds like a good idea to me. 

longshot but thought i'd just check first...is there an option to suppress the (filename) display when you press Tab whilst playing?

e.g. so player just sees

"The Mouldy Castle of Mould"

instead of

"The Mouldy Castle of Mould (qmouldy014_final_final_rev03)" 

Run QS with the -fitz command line. 

What other things does -fitz change from 'spasm? 

ok i found i think the only place where this is documented:


#3309 posted by mh on 2018/03/23 11:33:29
Going through the source code, the exact and only differences -fitz applies are:

- Don't load the custom quakespasm.pak
- Run the normal demo loop (QS otherwise goes straight to the menus at startup).
- Pop up the Quit prompt (QS otherwise just quits immediately).
- Revert some changes to the solo scoreboard layout.


Would be cool to add this info to the QuakeSpasm documentation. 

not sure about this because I still kinda want the first 3 things -fitz turns off, but not the 4th thing :/

first world quake problems.txt 

On second thought, that won't fix it. I saw the linebreak and my mind instantly thought of the difference in the bottom row of the sbar, but that was just func's doing. 

but maybe it's time to deprecate -fitz, and just have commands you can throw into a config file to restore old behaviours individually, such as the Quit prompt, the original sbar info etc. 

The PAK file is loaded before the configs run (all PAK files are, and if you think about it that makes sense because a PAK file might contain config files). I guess the game-changing code could be tweaked to handle it. 

It would be nice to have a separate cvar for the quit prompt just for the classic feel but you can already get the original sbar by setting the sbar alpha to 1 I believe. Isn't there also a startdemo option for enabling the normal demo loop? 

What I did years ago was pop up the prompt if you quit from the menus but suppressed it if you quit from the console. That may be default Quake behaviour and I may be misremembering if it was a reversion from a prior change or not.

The intent is that if you quit from the console you almost definitely want to quit, whereas if you quit from the menu it might be a slip of the finger on the keyboard.

Another possibility might be to suppress the quit prompt if you've recently saved, otherwise pop it up. The intent here is that if you've not recently saved you may wish to before quitting.

Of course this all falls down because there will always be someone who will say that they don't want the prompt under any circumstances. 

In which case....cvar ftw. 

Other ports list the current and default values for cvars when typing them in console. Would it be possible to add this feature to Quakespasm? 

I've lost count how many times I accidentally quit QuakeSpasm when trying to quick load. F9 and F10 are just so close together.

I'm talking about not showing the map filename (which is basically dev info) in game, which I don't think has anything to do with your suggestion.
