any particular reason the

-"elevator sinking bug", (plus airquake tank turret updating bug)
-the "stuck on convex angle bug",

still not fixed after all these years?

...at least you guys fixed the mouse glitch bug 

Some bugs are content bugs in the maps, not engine bugs. 

i don't recall these bugs happening in winquake

particularly the "elevator sinking bug" (and airquake tank turret updating bug) 

the "elevator sinking bug" doesn't happen in it... 

Stuck on convex angle is 100% reproducible in ID Quake and happens in e1m1; it was fixed in the Kex reissue by altering the map geometry. 

I'm looking at this page but couldn't find such an option, does it exist? Thanks!

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/quakespasm.1.html 

just adding “+map mapmame” should do it 

 

If you start and quit Quakespasm, multiple times (like 5-6),

the game will suddenly not boot up/be a black screen when you try to run it again 

Also sometimes Quakespasm will freeze or not be able to return to the game, after you minimize it 

Compound model monsters, like in Malice, often the upperbody/subordinate part missing), this bug doesn't happen in WinQuake 

You might want to file these bugs or check and see what the status is, if they have already been reported.

@ dumptruck_ds I don't see this issue listed there?

also I've narrowed it down

something is wrong with QS's MOVETYPE_PUSH, MOVETYPE_NOCLIP, MOVETYPE_STEP... because when used for body compound mdl monsters, the attached body is either invisible or not updating fast enough - so looks jittery (like I mentioned these bugs don't happen in winquake) 

I don't have malice or whatever, therefore I don't know what it is about. If someone has a well-tested patch, that would be welcome of course. 

airquake tanks also have a similar problem... try it yourself; look at the enemy tanks' turrets when they drive around

Do ironwail and/or vkquake (or any other source ports) have this issue? 

Do ironwail and/or vkquake (or any other source ports) have this issue?
yup

I think joequake or some port with the old quake underwater effect didn't have this issue 

OK, created a ticket for this at https://github.com/sezero/quakespasm/issues/118

(For future reference, I don't follow this thread daily, I just happened to notice it by chance: Please use the issue trackers that dumptruck_ds noted above, like everyone else, otherwise bug reports here will easily get forgotten.) 

like MOVETYPE_BOUNCE would properly bounce down slopes... etc?

but be sv cvar so only clinet & server with same value won't mismatch? 

Hey there... long time no see you guys. Anyway, I tried to join to a local dedicated Quakespasm server but even with a clean Quakespasm install it's failing. It keeps sending keepalive messages but the connection never completes.

Am I doing something wrong ? AFAIK there's no blocked ports, but... Here's a screenshot for more details: https://ibb.co/3NMMZ3Z 

Maybe someone can help me?
In the file "effectinfo.txt" there are lines, for example, "text 62 64" - these are the coordinates of a certain effect. How many X and Y parts is the file "particlefont.tga" divided into so that I can understand which values can be used to change the visual effects? 

Like a "delete save" button in the menu?

or a "load map" button? (so I don't have to minimize the game to manually search through the maps folder for the map name to paste into console?) 

there is a “maps” command that prints a list of available maps. 

to only shows the maps in the current mod?

currently seems to list all maps, including in the ID1, which might not be mod compatible 

Also can the old school quake underwater effect be brought back as a "r_waterwarp 2"?
