Func_Msgboard: Quakespasm Engine

Posted by Baker on 2010/08/20 23:27:49

This engine needs its own thread.

Feedback: I like the OS X version, but I have to start it from the terminal for it to work and can't just double-click it like a traditional OS X app. I'm sure you guys already know this, either way great engine.

Looping Sound Fix

#606 posted by ericw on 2014/01/07 02:38:35

I tracked down a bug in sound looping last night, which appears to have been in Quake since the source release. It causes an intermittent 'pop' when looping sounds wrap around - this has been driving me crazy for years!

https://sourceforge.net/p/quakespasm/patches/12/

This will have good synergy with my "audiophile resampling" patch when I finally dust that off and finish it

Not Sure If Its Been Mentioned In This Thread

... I did look through and didn't find anything.
RMQ works wonders for me
Whenever I load maps in Quakespasm, however, they almost invariably slow to a choppy crawly barely playable state.
Thus my apparently ungainly habit of not using Quakespasm, and instead using RMQ engine, to record demos and so forth.
I am a luddite. Keep that in mind.
And yes, I did use a big heap size.

It Could Be A Setting Problem

that RMQ has created that Quakespasm doesn't like.

Try running quakespasm on a clean install with no .cfg files to start with and then build your settings from there.

Try r_dynamic 0 and if that solves your problem, move to Fitz Mark V which fixes that behavior.

Are the exes compiled to include the ultimate patches? If so are they on the Quakespasm site?

I checked the changelogs but can't see anything mentioned.

Sorry, I don't have an exe with the patch applied. The QS guys haven't had a chance to review the sound loop one yet.

#612 posted by ijed on 2014/01/07 21:10:06

I have an engine to test on, although it's not 100% feature complete.

Oh,

but szo made windows and osx builds on dec 25 with my bsp2 patch (runs telefragged.bsp). They're here:

Does my cross-compiled soundloop exe work ?

It Does :)

My mouse gets stuck if I alt-tab out of the engine to do a level hotfix.

to open the menu. That should free the mouse.

Will Give That A Try

I enabled wheel mouse to scroll the console, so please document any nasty issues.

Mouse

Is still locked in top left corner if I alt-tab out, from the menu, console or otherwise.

This Is On Windows, Right?

Yeah

Having to close the engine to do map fixes, I'm pretty happy with the engine. All features are in and working, everything looks crisp, and it's multi-platform.

Cool.

Engine.

Just thought I'd say that again.

Would You Guys

Be interested in implementing support for 'proper' rotatings code?

Essentially it's true collision on rotating objects, without dicking about with multiple entities all over the place.

We had it implemeted in RMQ and it works like a charm. Obviously a way to mark the pivot (info_notnull) is still needed, but the rest is just making the brushes and configuring them.

Basically takes the pain out of making rotating objects.

Haven't got time just now but I can dig out the specs if anyone is interested.

#628 posted by oh, that person on 2014/01/10 13:55:30

Also, consider the dynamic light bottleneck fix!

Is anyone seriously going to say no? :)
