And what about support for FSAA (antialiasing) on OS X ?

And what about the command-H option to switch the app into background, as in Quake3 ? 

I have searched google trying to figure out what this command does, but have found contradicting answers. I'm making a high quality config that will render quake to look the best that it possibly can. I know that it has to deal with perspective correction on player models, but I don't know which value will effect this change. I want the models to have maximum quality so what should gl_affinemodels be set as? 1 or 0? 

0 

Thank you very much czg. 

(Theoretically) enables or disables perspective-correct texturing for MDLs. Set to 1 to disable perspective-correction, 0 to enable it.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping#Perspective_correctness for an example of what effect perspective-correct terturing can have.

So, enabling it (gl_affinemodels 0) can be better quality but at a performance loss; disabling it (gl_affinemodels 1) better performance but at a quality loss.

Important note coming up.

This is a HINT. That means you're telling the driver "this is the setting I'd prefer if you can do it but I'm not going to lose sleep over it if you can't"; as in - drivers are not obliged to obey hints; some may ignore them completely and give you performance or quality depending on their own internal settings (and possibly driver control panel settings).

See http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/glHint.xml for more.

So for a preference for quality set it to 0, but don't depend on that having any effect and don't get annoyed or waste time figuring why it's not working if it doesn't work. 

Thanks! This release works for me on OS X 10.8 (the switch to libmad I guess?) 

If you were unable to run the previous versions, then yes, possibly the switch from mpg123 to libmad helped you. I took care not to having any foreign dependency and packaged all needed libraries in the binary distribution. 

szo,

why aren't there any antialiasing (FSAA) options ?

And what about the ability to put the app in background, as in Quake3, using command-H ? 

Once you ask ten times a glowing fairy appears, says ello guys, waves his fabulous magic-stick and those features will exist. 

I don't get AA options on ANY engines, except for DP. Radeon FTF. 

Command-H backgrounding and FSAA support added to TODO list for the next release. 

hello,

i've noticed that i can disable vertical sync only via ingame menu, and it automatically resets to enabled every time i start the engine. quakespasm seems to ignore "vid_vsync 0" variable stored in autoexec.cfg as well as command "+vid_vsync 0" in bat file. still, i can turn off vsync during the game session via menu, it works until i close the program. i've checked config.cfg, cvar is set to 0 there, anyway autoexec and launch parameter should override it afaik

i'm currently using latest quakespasm release 0.85.8 for windows.

my sys specs:
windows 7 x64
amd phenom II quad-core processor
nvidia geforce gtx660 ti with the latest 306.23 drivers

i've checked setting in nvidia control panel as well, quakespasm is shurely allowed to control swap interval

thx to developers for great engine anyways =) 

From their help text on vsync:

...turn Vertical sync on and off in the NVIDIA Control panel for OpenGL games... 

thx for answer.

so this behavior is purely a driver feature from NVIDIA, did i get it right? looks strange, because darkplaces, e.g., is opengl engine as well, but it seems to apply vsync cvar correctly on the startup. 

That's a bug you found there. I just pushed a change to svn (r778) that should fix it. Can you test it and report the results? (My card doesn't support vsync toggling so I can't test it myself.) 

would be glad to help, but unfortunately i'm not familiar with code compiling at all =( 

Raspberian (I guess from Debian actually) repo has some patches you guys might consider bug reports (linking and some minor hurd things): http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/q/quakespasm/ 

http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/tmp/qs_r778_win32.zip 

Update: try this one instead... http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/tmp/qs_r779_win32.zip 

nope, didn't work for me. everything is like before, had to use nv control panel to disable vsync permanently.
new console message appears on startup, however: "Cvar_Set: variable vid_vsync not found" 

That message appeared in r778 because of a sloppy mistake of mine, but it shouldn't be occurring in the updated r779 that I posted; did you try that second link? 

oops, missed the update somehow, my bad. but no, r779 hasn't solve the problem either. 

OK, one more: http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/tmp/qs_r780_win32.zip

If this doesn't fix it, is there anywhere off-forum where I can contact you so we can stop spamming this thread? 

all the same with this rev(
