QRACK v1.80

[R00k]

YA CL_MAXFPS <10 SHOULD REVERT BACK TO 10. could add 0 code easily.

edit:

qboolean Host_FilterTime (double time)
{
double fps;

realtime += time;

if (cl_maxfps.value == 0)
cl_maxfps.value = 4096;
else
{
cl_maxfps.value = bound(30, cl_maxfps.value, 4096);
Cvar_SetValue ("cl_maxfps", cl_maxfps.value);
}

fps = max(1, cl_maxfps.value);

if (!cls.capturedemo && !cls.timedemo && realtime - oldrealtime < 1.0 / fps)
return false;

Ya, that was requested, looks cool, and doesn't cost any fps!
In singleplayer (or Frikbots) try cl_footsteps 1...

The new conback was tweaked by Lightning Hunter! :d

R00k, I wan't able to test out your latest offering of qrack until yesterday; I am still having the ati video graphics layering issue.

Try setting gl_conalpha 1. Set in your config and restart the engine, and/or turn off multitexturing -nomtex in the command line.

[Mr.Burns]

It's just a thought but for those of us who sometimes struggle with ping or who have limited graphical hardware,would it be possible to have an additional graphics mode in Qrack, like 'classic', that optimises the settings for low detail, high fps, lowest ping possible gameplay? There must be a myriad of tweaks that can be applied to speed things up or even just make the game a little more 'fluid'. This may well increase Qrack's appeal to our lower spec users.

Kind regards

I'm sorry if the screenshot showed that the console had some sort of influence; it did not. I simply had the console down to demonstrate the qrack version and build I was using. Those blue texture glitches were there with or without the console. Additionally, I am already using -nomtex in the command line.

Wow i should pay you to make a Qrack manual

ya basically if u flip thru the menus u can tone down alot of the whoop-de-doo bullsh!t in qrack... I had even started making a streamline version of Qrack called QrackLE (Light Edition) which has the very most basic (interpolation, 24bit textures, etc..) that doesnt hinder older MX cards.. as for ATI, honestly my experience with ATI and quake was always poor. I had a 3dfx card then got an ATI then returned to get an nVidia and have since gone that route. I just think that ATI and M$ dont give a sh!t about openGL!! Hell look at the shotty drivers in Frickn VISTA!

I should really branch to SDL, via linux or BSD etc. But then again My rig is a bubble that works for the moment.....

[Mr.Burns]

Thanks for the replies. I'll paste that into a seperate .cfg file for use on 'long range' servers such as Shmack, Fear, etc

Kind regards

feature request..

I noticed Qrack does not render environmental textures behind (or from the inside of) another environmental texture (teleport, water, slime, lava) with r_wateralpha <1

I created this little test map to explain what i mean... use godmode to swim around in slime and lava and compare to other engines like Fitzquake.. could u make Qrack render combined env's the way Fitz does?

[R00k]

Well, I made r_wateralpha ignore teleport and lava textures, is that what u mean?
