What's the purpose of the command anyway?

thanks for?
profile dumps stats on which progs functions are being called the most. you can use it to see which functions are using up the most cpu time and take measures to either make them simpler (thus requiring less calculations) or make the functions get called less often.

 Fitzquake Not Saving Config
#412 posted by Ether on 2010/08/12 22:51:10
Good Day folks, pleasure to see Quake enthusiasts are still alive and kicking, even if the golden era of the mapping scene has long died away.
Simply put, upon modifying console cvars such as "scr_conalpha, r_lerpmodels, r_shadows" Fitzquake won't save this settings upon exit. I've tried setting 'Savedgamecfg' to '1' but to my frustration no effect. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you!
 Gun Models Sit Below The HUD
#413 posted by Ether on 2010/08/12 22:56:31
This bug has always befuddled me but in both conventional GLquake and Fitzquake the weapon models appear from below the HUD rather than sit above it. Needless to say, it looks awkward and I've seen a YT vid of GLQuake where this problem does not occur

 Skin Trashed (ARWOP)
#415 posted by Baker on 2010/08/24 16:30:17
I thought this was fixed in FitzQuake 0.85 versus FitzQuake 0.80 but somehow it happened:
http://quake-1.com/docs/any/arwop_skin_trashed.jpg
Situation:
FitzQuake 0.85 on windows hosting a coop game in listen mode with maxplayers 2 playing ARWOP with other client being a QuakeSpasm client (not that I can see how that'd matter).
On ARWOP start map, other player's skin is fine but after advancing through changelevel teleporter to first ARWOP map, other player's skin is trashed.
#416 posted by necros on 2010/08/24 21:47:22
is this the heapsize thing? i had a problem with the player skin getting mangled (along with other textures) and solved it by increasing heapsize.
but your question leads me to believe this isn't the same thing.
#417 posted by mh on 2010/08/25 00:24:04
That looks more like a texture cache problem to me.
#418 posted by mh on 2010/08/25 00:31:19
More info: Fitz's texmgr uses CRC to identify matching textures, but CRC is horribly prone to collisions. RSA have published some nice public domain MD5 code that I would generally recommend be used instead.
 5 Mousebutton Support
#419 posted by megalodonNL on 2010/08/25 22:16:17
I'd love to see 5 Mousebutton support being added to FitzQuake so I can use it as my default SP engine.
 Ooo
#420 posted by necros on 2010/08/25 23:28:03
yeah, this! ^^^
well, actually if all engines supported more than just mouse 1-3 that'd be awesome. :)
 Reason
#421 posted by megalodonNL on 2010/08/26 00:04:13
The reason for 5 MB support is that I have +/-attack aliases for the weapons. As far as I know, all good players, like speedrunners, need to be able to fire the correct weapon instantly, without having to cycle through them to select and then using another button to fire. That is just stupid and you'll never get good in Quake that way, you only think you are.
It's painful enough that there's no 'bestweapon' support, which is supported by ProQuake, JoeQuake, DarkPlaces and QRack, but it feels even more handycapped when I can't at least use the extra mouse buttons to create some simple aliases.
Yes, I know that there's this little group of people here that is against everything that's different from how Quake was in '96 in terms of movement and weapon scripts, but I'm bringing it up once more because if FitzQuake would have these things, it can become much more popular in the SP scene and people like myself would actually be interested in playing all these great looking maps (from the screenies it looks great).
If you wanna be oldschool yourselves, fine. But at least let people have the choice for THE shooting-experience that sets Q1 apart from the sequels...and perhaps all other FPS games for that matter.

Bah, you don't need such binds for singleplayer unless you are a pussy. Just like FOV 90 (or the widescreen equivalent) is fine.

#426 posted by mh on 2010/08/26 20:16:44
I actually think that in terms of features FitzQuake is pretty fine. Maybe it errs a little on the side of features for maps/mods while in development at the expense of features useful for actually playing the game, but that's understandable enough given the author's background, and overall there's nothing dramatically *wrong* with it (in terms of general features that is; I do think that there is some room for improvement elsewhere). A few nips and tucks in places is really all that it needs (let's have mouselooking enabled by default in the next version *please*).
#427 posted by metlslime on 2010/08/27 00:57:31
I welcome these types of requests... if I haven't added a feature to fitzquake yet, it's usually because my to-do list is huge; not because I think the feature is a bad idea.
Also Baker: Thanks for the bug report; is it consistently repeatable? I'll see if i can track it down. It seems unlikely that it's a cache/crc problem (player skins are allocated specially) but it could be anything at this point.

#428 posted by Spirit on 2010/08/27 01:05:19
I am serious. I used a bind to fire grenades with a key for ages but it felt like cheating.
Also I played with FOV 120 for a long time (because I was like OMG I CAN SEE SO MUCH MORE AND IT FEELS FASTER TOO!!!1), then I realise that it was idiotic. So I gradually went down again. 110 for a while, then 90. Now I have a widescreen monitor where ~110 is like old 90 according to some list by LH.

#429 posted by Baker on 2010/08/27 12:41:53
I haven't tried to cause it to do it again, but I'll try to repeat the issue to verify it wasn't some one-time weirdness.
There is an outside chance it could have been caused by something silly like FitzQuake briefly losing focus during startup while video initialization was going.
@ Spirit
The reason "bestweapon" is "acceptable" to a Quake conversative is because the behavior is already attainable via other methods. It just reduces the number of keys you have to use and makes it so you don't have to write complex aliases.
So the effect of a bestweapon command is:
1. Reduce the number of keys you use
2. Reduce the complexity of binds
3. Make that kind of functionality available to non-experts in easier fashion.
It's kind of like impulse 10 and impulse 12, really. Of video mode switching. It doesn't offer anything new, it is just less of a pain.
#430 posted by Spirit on 2010/08/27 13:07:08
I have nothing against people using it, I just think it is kinda lame. And potentially bad. If you eg have the SSG or SNG as "better" weapon than the SG/NG, then you are wasting ammo. How do people actually use it?
I am obviously talking about singleplayer.
 Binds
#431 posted by Baker on 2010/08/28 04:08:20
I like using 3 keys:
1. One that switches the strongest non-explosive weapon. Lightning gun, SNG, etc.
2. One that throws a grenade and then switches me back to some safe weapon that won't kill me in close combat.
3. Something that switches to the rocket launcher or a fall back to the grenade launcher. To deal with clusters of enemies or zombies.
Pressing 1 through 8 is a bit slow and inconvenient. And impulse 10 and 12, while very useful and bound to my mousewheel, aren't always a good fit.
Not having those available just means I have to play more conservatively and save more often instead of playing more naturally.
I'm sure different ppl have different preferences.
