ProQuake 4.93 (F5 key = Server Browser)

[Mindf!3ldzX]

I love reading stuff like seen in this discussion and MH's blog.

Technical Jibba Jargon Jabba I don't understand, but what I DO understand, is that Quake1 is getting the Red Carpet Treatment from all you engine authors.

You deserve


Beer.

MH is an other bona fide Qua-keteer, with a beer .

ok, someone go over with me the pq_password. i set it in game, but what am i not doing to "log-in" to where it requires me to enter my password after i've set it?

also, this may only be isolated to strikers server, but when i connect to a server the first thing that scrolls is "network performance enhancements(OFF)".... and that does what?

There isn't the infrastructure (here at this site) to support the stats tracker id yet. The client itself supports it. I have to code some stuff into the site and bother Solecord with some questions. You'll know when it is available because it will need some live tests.

Little problem , I always join using qview when I start playing.
But now it seems not to connect properly and plays the demo instead.
In quake I use the great server browser of course !

I'll look at see what is causing that. I think I know.

I think that might have something to do with CAx. Doesn't have anything to do with ProQuake 4.93 as a client. I think it might be a mod option to not spawn gibs when someone dies, bubbles underwater when someone dies, etc.

Another small problem I noticed is that if I launch quake its always using vid_refreshrate 85 hz, its set to 120 hz in config.cfg and autoexec.cfg
I always need to typ in console vid_force_restart to make it 120hz.

I've looked into that several times (a couple of times almost obsessively). On my desktop I cannot get Windows API to report all the available refresh rates. MSDN's API documentation and even Microsoft samples for doing such aren't reporting the extra refresh rates (for a monitor I have that supports maybe 10 different refresh rates or more).

So ... unless, say, MH knows something special on this topic [EnumDisplaySettings] (he often does), I don't see I can directly support refresh rates that exist, but that Windows won't tell the engine about

I did not have that problem with version 4.51, 4.52.

Temp fix I added vid_force_restart to the autoexec.cfg file.

The D3D8 stuff won't build clean with any kind of recent Windows SDK. The trick is to move the include and lib directories to the bottom of the search order in their relevant categories.

For DirectQ I use MSVC 2008 but I do the occasional port up to 2010 for testing and verification purposes, so I'd expect it to build (it won't build on 2012 though). Baker, for some ungodly reason, still uses 6.

Incidentally, for porting from 6 to 2010 I've often found it best to take it through 2008 as an intermediate step. A 6 project will upgrade reasonably clean to 2008, but there may be issues going to 2010.

Thanks MH, I'll try if this work (gotta find and install an MVS8 build first.)

Bye!

Network performance in CAx was for hpbs that turned off gfx like bubbles and wall torches it's pretty obsolete now which is why u see its turned off

Personally, I use F5 for team message in ctf so I don't like to isolate a key for a function. IMHO a user can bind x "server browser" if they want that functionality...

I looked at the stat login code in PQ but couldn't return a login Id except the number I punched in like "stats_login 1" would just return 1

The F5 key isn't hard coded, "menu_multiplayer" is bound by default to F5.

I only changed what "menu_multiplayer" does so that it pulls up the server browser.

You could bind something else to "7" than "impulse 7", but few people do. Likewise, with the defaults F5 pulls up the server browser.

wurd.

7. Added 2 testing command line parameters for potentially addressing Polarite keyboard issue.

Baker what are those command line parameters ?
I want to test that because I'm still getting these weird key binds after alt-tab.

bugg report: When I typ in console record "demoname" , that will crash glpro493 here.
