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(

Save crash should now be fixed in the svn as of rev. 791. 

What is your command line ?
Can't you save game at all ? I can't reproduce this. 

Interesting looking mod :) 

Not dependent on command line, depends on compiler. The crash was due to long global strings from the progs not fitting into an 256 chars long array (a stupid sprintf crash.) Grep your saves for "STORY_??" and see.

You said it was a QC error in my dev progs, but it's definitely a bug in the Quakespasm code. I just tested my new map in several other mods (including ID1 1.01) and it's reproducable in all of them, albeit not at every instance of the hack. No other source ports have a problem with it.

I also noticed a slightly teleporter and monsterjump behavior in comparison to Fitz085. Monsters teleported into a monsterjump trigger that worked fine in Fitz would either be kind of pushed out of the teleport destination and miss the trigger, or not be pushed in the same way (speed/height). This may or may not have to do with the fact the jump triggers are point entities using the bounds of another ent. I didn't examine this behavior in detail, though, just adjusted the entities until it worked in both ports. 

I'm wondering if this is a known issue or if there are some relevant console settings I could tweak.

I've ripped my Quake CD to OGG and MP3 forms. When the soundtrack files are played using DarkPlaces, Fitzquake Mark V, or DirectQ, they sound "right". With QuakeSpasm though they don't.

My usual test track is the first one ("Aftermath") that plays during the intro demo as well as on DM4. In the "DA NA NA - DA NA NA NA" hits, correct playback has some high frequencies in there that give those hits some prickly edges, but in QuakeSpasm they just sound kindy sludgey. 

That's because the tracks are downsampled to 11025 Hz by default. With "-sndspeed 44100" they'll sound as expected.
