I got QuakeSpasm working fine now, I had picked up the /usr/local/games/quake idea from fodquake, which is supposedly THE qw client to use on OS X, which specifically expects that path. I guess I could just make a symlink from my current Quake folder location where I have QuakeSpasm working to that path, so that fodquake would work as well. 

as it really goes against how OS X works usually. Applications go to /Applications. 

Ah, I had paths a bit confused, fodquake wants: /Library/Application Support/fodquake/id1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMr7BrqCZns&feature=player_embedded 

Is there any chance FOV-locked viewmodels will be added/ported from FitzQuake Mark V?

I'd use just Mark V but it has a few issues (no fov_adapt cvar which bugs me and MP3 music seems to keep playing on level changes) 

By no fov_adapt cvar I mean that you can't seem to disable the effect. Normally the game view just gets shorter if you use a smaller viewsize but in FitzQuake Mark V it also zooms out too, which is something I'd like to prevent. QuakeSpasm lets you turn it off, at least. 

Also, any chance for a cvar to keep redrawing the HUD border tiles? I'm playing from Steam so that would keep the Steam notifications in the corner from staying on even after they go away.

Otherwise, great work on this port! I've been looking a long time for a simple GL port that lets you do independent HUD scaling for things like messages and the status bar and also generally keeps the software-mode feel. I think this is the one I'll stick with. 

Setting the "gl_clear" cvar to "1" should do that. 

How to center the HUD in Multiplayer? 

Using Quakespasm, is there a way to turn ON the nice GL glowing and lightning effects we sometimes see in modern Quake engines, as shown on Youtube ?

I'm especially interested in the ligthning gun rendering, which currently gives me an ugly pixelized effect (default, old lightning rendering). 

If you want super-pretty graphics I think you'll want to use Darkplaces instead of Quakespasm. QS I think strives for authenticity, while Darkplaces is kind of the rebel of the Q1 engines. 

Built binaries from SVN right now. On Linux.

Server where I lowercased all filenames:
quakespasm-svn -game atf -dedicated

Client where I forgot to do so (and thus QS wont be able to find the files):
quakespasm-svn -game atf +connect www.example.com

Using protocol 666

Then what are the rendering options in Quakespasm, for the lightning gun ? 

n/t 

gl_flashblend 1/0 

Thanks Spirit,

but what about other effects ? Is there a list of GL effect commands somewhere, which are working in Quakespasm ? 

try cvarlist (I think)

This will give you a list of all the options to play with. 

Thanks Spirit, fixed at r877. 

Today Quakespasm stopped recording by itself after I did the "record demoname", "reload" procedure.

Haven't tried reproducing it. No idea what happened. 

'prolly a bad condition if (!sv.active... 

A quickload is simply a game load and does a CL_Disconnect() which, in turn, stops a demo in recording which has always been that way. Had you died during game play and pressed your mouse button to respawn, that would allow your recording to continue because it doesn't disconnect from the server, which I think is the case you are confusing with. 

Ah, I see what the problem is. I forgot to "disconnect" before starting the record. In engines that do not support on the fly recording, this gives an error message. QS does support recording at any point though, so it started recording and then what you said happened.

Playback over deaths requires engine support and my capture engine does not support it so I am forced to make separate demos.

Great that QS lets you record at any time now! 

Hello Folks! :o

Haven't been here for a year I think? Due to real life xD

Anyway I wanted to practice some speedrunning and grenade and rocket jumps at certain places in particular but how do I get rid of these infernal monsters! I saw their was a Nomonsters variable, I set it to '1' set Skill to '1' loaded up a map and.. Zee monsters are still there! D: 

not in standard quake. if you have the hypnotic mission pack, you can use impulse 205 to kill all the monsters in a level. 

This feature was also stolen for Quoth - if you enter genocide in the console then all spawned monsters will die. 

I think quakespasm has a "sv_freezenonclients" that locks all monsters/entities in place, but they're still there in the map, and you can still collide with them. It makes it hard to move around because doors/etc. don't work with it on.
