Thanks for your efforts eric, AND all you other guys! 

looking forward to the sdl2 stuff, since the secret sdl2 haxx0r build I was given is the only one that runs on my mac. Everything "just works" on my windows box ;) 

if anyone's bored, i'd love help testing this build! http://quakespasm.ericwa.com/job/quakespasm-ericwa/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/quakespasm-recf89c033cb2aa771388a92e76be36062d1df81f.zip

does it sound good?

leave "-sndspeed" at the default of 11025; it will actually output at 44100 but it does the filtering to 11025 internally. Mostly I'm interested in whether I have the filter set up right - is sound too soft/muffled, or just right? It is a bit less harsh sounding that windows' resampler, but I can tweak it.

the point of this is, if you use music, it will be mixed in at full quality (44100) :) 

I tried it on Win7. Seems like it's working to me:

I compared the test build to v0.85.9, either using "-sndspeed 44100" or not, loading directly into DM4 to hear the Quake theme music.

The test build's music was the same quality as the sndspeed 44100 music for 0.85.9, regardless of whether I specified sndspeed for the test build.

sndspeed did affect other sound effects on the test build. 

If there are nuances of the test build's sound I'll probably miss them, but I'll keep using it for a while to see if anything else occurs to me. :-) 

Actually (sorry to post-spam) I am noticing something. I turned the music off to check the in-game sounds more carefully for a bit.

I immediately noticed something when doing a sequence of: pick up LG ammo, pick up LG, pick up armor, lava-dive and discharge.

The initial sound attack, some of the high frequencies, and even the hiss noise at the end of some of the sounds is noticeably more muted in the test build compared to 0.85.9. I also checked the original GLQuake and yeah, 0.85.9 is more like the original.

I guess I'm kind of imprinted on the original sounds to the point that even missing the noise hiss is a little odd. 

Windows has a fixed output rate anyway, the engine should always match that to avoid any undesired resampling.
iirc its generally set to 48khz by default in vista+, while xp will avoid resampling if there's only one source (read: audio buffer), without saying what rate it'll resample to.

plus there's lots of ac98 chips out there that support only 48khz, so windows resampling is handy. 

That helps, and matches what I hear too. I'll try tweaking the filter to match the 0.58.9/Windows sound more closely and post another build here.

I understand having the sounds imprinted a certain way, so I do want to be very careful about changing this.

Hope the general idea is good. For me, never having owned quake on CD, it was a revelation to hear the full-quality music and -sndspeed 11025 sounds together. :-) 

I got the patch. . I never play with CD/music myself. 

Start Quakepspasm r939 with no gamedir.

In console type: map e1m1.

Then disconnect.

Type game zendar; map zendar.

Crash.

(Quakespasm 0.85.9 + Mark V won't crash, but will say AllocBlock Full. FitzQuake 0.85 will crash. )

What I think is going on, all the cached brush models have been cleared (shells, nail boxes) and is using invalid data to generate lightmaps. 

... fix 

Fixed differently:

Eric's build bot at http://quakespasm.ericwa.com/job/quakespasm/ should generate a new build soon.

Freezes with red screen immediatly after start. No console or nothing. Had to alt+tab out.

Win7 on new Lenovo laptop. 

Just tested both the win32 and win64 builds on win8.1/x64 (took and unzipped the zip, put in my id1 folder and ran). Both ran fine for me.. 

i get just a red screen, but i can hear the sg firing.. which relaxes me a bit:) No clue, seems the onboard gfx cant handle it..

Mac build is fine btw. 

Played on e3m1 just fine on retina macbook with OSX 10.9.4 

I tested the OS X version with Sock's Jam1 map. Everything looks fine.

But please guys, consider adding antialiasing (FSAA) and the command-Tab feature to switch to other apps without quiting Quakespasm (like Q3). That feature is most wanted ! 

No clue..

iirc, you are running fullscreen? if you do, and if you run it windowed instead of fullscreen, does it work? if it does, does changing to fullscreen from within the game work properly??

also, does an earlier qs, such as 0.85.9, work properly on the same setup? (if it does, we screwed up something...) 

previous build were fine, yeah. So i start fullscreen, immediate lockup in red. no change possible, though i can hear and use the menu and console.

windowed looks like this:

I see. How about Eris's auto-build? from here:
http://quakespasm.ericwa.com/job/quakespasm/ 

I have some special versions for german kb layouts from him. No problems til now, so i�m a bit confused to be honest. I overwrote all dlls and stuff with todays build, previous test builds still work, just todays not. 

So, to clarify, this particular one does not work:
http://quakespasm.ericwa.com/job/quakespasm/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/quakespasm-r944.zip

... but this one does?
http://quakespasm.ericwa.com/job/quakespasm/20/artifact/quakespasm-r940.zip

(RE: DLLS: Please use the dlls from our zips as they are.) 

Both don�t work.. 

To test a theory can you please:

- take the win32 build http://quakespasm.sf.net/devel/quakespasm-0.85.10-r944_windows.zip

- and replace quakespasm.exe in it from this: http://quakespasm.sf.net/devel/test1.zip

... and see if it changes things?
