What is the command-line parameter to make FitzQuake execute a specific .cfg file when being run? With FuhQuake it�s possible to do "fuhquake.exe +exec file.cfg", but that doesn�t seem to work with FitzQuake :(

I have several config files in my id1 dir and it�s quite annoying to have to always type "exec configname.cfg" when I run the game. And before anybody suggest it, NO, autoexec.cfg is not a valid solution for my problem.

There is a readme file where you perhaps will find what you are looking for... 

weird... it should work. In fact, i just tried it, and it did work. Maybe you made a typo? 

Did anyone play Vietcong? What did you think of it?

I play this at work loads. It's a pretty old game, but it can be a lot of fun in coop (Which requires the Fist Alpha mission pack afaik.)

I have a feeling that anyone here who did play it would have thought it sucked, but I'm still interested. 

It works for me in FQ (as in all engines), I always run a specific cfg at startup. There must be something special about your setup. What about long filenames (> 8.3)? 

Maybe you do -exec mycfg.cfg instead of +exec mycfg.cfg. Or maybe in not proper place (I dunno, but all "+" attribs should go last) 

Actually, you can mix and match + and - commands. At least, the code (even vanilla quake) is designed to do that... have you had any problems with it? 

Found the problem.

Apparently FitzQuake didnt like the fact that my config contained a "-" character (it was jago-fitz.cfg). Renaming the file to fitz.cfg solved the problem.

On a side note, my Quake map reached 1000 brushes yesterday and I havent even abandoned it yet! Hell has frozen over and pigs are flying. 

that will be fixed in the next version. :) 

and also try to fix the prooblem of running fq on voodoo2 card. 

isn't compliant with the OpenGL 1.2 extensions that Metlslime relies on for the rendering in FitzQuake. But it doesn't hurt to ask, unless he pulls out the Disco FitzQuake.

Interpolation! Shaders! Skelatal Animation with Inverse Kinemetrics!

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme! 

Try putting gl_overbright 0 in your config file. If that fixes your problem, then you'll be happy to know that that i already found and fixed the guilty code. If not, send me an email with more specifics, becuase i guess i'm not aware of the problem. 

when I owned a Voodoo 2 waiting for a promised driver upgrade that incorporated 1.2 extensions never materialized, at least at the time. Perhaps, this is an entirely different matter, somehow. 

Try putting gl_overbright 0 in your config file.

well I tried, but it seems it doesn't help 

PQ's Level of the Week has been updated with yet another Q1SP. This time the honor is given to czg and Vondur's The Slipgate Duplex.

Due to popular demand (relative to the quake playing population) I've made a version of gmsp3 with transparent water (apparently the original couldn't be re-vised). If you're at all interested..

http://www.glassman.mistral.co.uk/gmsp3/gmsp3tw.zip 

The original gmsp3 is very re-visable using my BspInfo utility. And it looks much better, although I can imagine older machines having problems with the increased amount of faces in an already large map. 

I am getting so right now, I am. 

hmmm, I wish I could say the same, but unfortunately, for the past couple of hours, all I'm getting is............

Cannot find server
The page cannot be displayed 

That is of course assuming we are talking about the same thing, gmsp3tw 

Well, I didn't actually try re-vising it myself but someone reported having problems. I guessed it might have something to do with the phantom leak (which I think I fixed now). I'd rather remake it anyway as it needed a couple of minor retexturings (like behind teleports etc.)

VoreLord - the d/l works for me.

It's qw on a bootable cd. Or at least it is after you make it. You have to put all the pak files, your favorite maps and config files into a dir and run the make iso bat file / unix script.

Maybe someone can make use of it. It's nothing but crappy sun machines over here. 

the one who reported it probably used the old bsp2prt utility and it definitely cannot handle gmsp3. That's one of the reasons why I added this functionality to my BspInfo; to increase speed and capacity.

The leak has nothing to do with it, it's just the size of the map that crashes bsp2prt. 

how the heck does quake know when to play the wind2.wav sound? is that hard coded into quake? it seems to only play when the client can 'see' a skyface, so that when you go around lots of vis blockers, the sound no longer plays...

also, what about the water sound? does that only play when the client can see water brushes? i can never get it to work in my maps though... i just never hear the water... what's the deal? 

ambient sounds depending on texture contents and distance from it. There might be some connection with some worldspawn keys also, e.g. "sounds" or "worldtype".

I've also wondered about that, in some maps I hear water even if there's no water near the player.
