ProQuake 3.60 - An unofficial update to an old school engine

[Baker]

Ok, that's now implemented.

unfortunatly lordhavoc's dp cant support cax or else my server would be running it.

unfortunatly lordhavoc's dp cant support cax or else my server would be running it.

CAx has some QCCX'd code in it, which almost no engine except the original WinQuake and wqpro/sqpro can run.

Similar functionality can be done using FRIK_FILE (an engine extension) in most cases, but it is a real hassle converting the code.

In time, I am very sure a lot of things everyone wants will happen.

still doesn't work. qwpro362 doesn't work either, but it gives a different error:
z_malloc: failed on allocation of 36 bytes

the GLQuake1.32 archive from the link you posted has a number of .c and .h files in it, is that normal? and if so where do I copy those? also, when I open the archive it says "unexpected end of archive".

I did run Qrack, JoeQuake, and Darkplaces before and had no problems with launching those.

[Baker]

There should be a glquake.exe in the Enhanced GLQuake zip file. That's all you need. The .h and .c files are source code files to self compile, they are not required to run the supplied glquake.exe (which is the only thing you need to extract.)

Since it is bundled with the source, sometimes you have look around a little in the zip to find it.

You might need to re-download the file if it says unexpected end of archive when opening the zip.

Taxi, I am going to private message you with one more compile, a GLPRO 3.63 here in a few hours and if that doesn't work, aguirRe has recommended something that we try if you don't mind.

[TAXI]

yeah, I guess it was something wrong with archive. maybe it didn't DL it completely. I just reDL'd it and .exe was there. Both GL and WinQ work fine. I guess it's just GLPro3.62 I hope we can make it work

[TAXI]

well, I'm off for now. need to wake up in 3 hours and go to work. I should be on in the evening or tomorrow during the day.

[aguirRe]

Taxi, if you just got a messagebox in 3.62 with the z_malloc error, try adding "-zone 2048" on the cmd line. I believe Baker increased the default value to 1024, but maybe that didn't suffice in your case.

[Baker]

Not that I even DM anymore, but does this allow for Windows Key and Windows-Context-Dropdown-Menu Key (whatsit?) binding?

I hadn't enabled those; but I just did. The next download will have that.

After whatever is causing Taxi grief is resolved, I'll release an update that has a few more features.

3.60 already writes a more intelligent config. I have been thinking about video cards and how aggravating those can be.

The new config.cfg format looks like this:

// *****************************************

Todo with smart config.cfg: add date/operating system and if not too difficult sort the cvars; something that needs done with cmdlist and cvarlist as well.

Note to self: Implement FuhQuake sys_winkeys 0|1 to disable windows keys. First glance at the code, it requires an external DLL like 8 button mouse support so whenever I get to that, I'll do both.

[gulliver-trans]

I hadn't enabled those; but I just did. The next download will have that.

Awesome. Thanks, Baker!

[spooker]

you should put the qrack autodemo feature into proquake. it wouldnt change the feel of it at all, and most people wouldnt even know its there, but those who cared could use it

[Baker]

Taxi, it looks very much like the problem you are having has been identified.

It appears to relate to the demolist command at startup and/or possibly the maplist command. Both commands read thru the list of demos/maps and created a sorted list in memory.

Based on the fact you have this problem with both glpro360 and wqpro360, this makes a great deal of sense as the probable cause of the issue.

I'll make a modified version for you without that functionality to confirm this is your problem. I managed to get the crash on my computer with a demo with a huge name which disappeared after I renamed it but I could see your problems being caused by having a ton of maps and/or demos.

you should put the qrack autodemo feature into proquake.

It is Type cl_autodemo 1. I don't have it save to config.cfg because it has some annoying consequences in single player (makes a new demo every time you die). Once I address that (not hard at all), I'll make it save but still beware of racking up thousands of demos.

Note to self: make a notification somewhere if maxfps is the default (72). Most players don't want that and it sure helps configuring if you know that your maxfps is default so you can change it. No glpro360.exe does not have vid_vsync 0 at this time -- it is planned at some point.

Thank you Baker. I'll try it out as soon as you will make it.

Could you put the ability to dynamically edit the console text that you type in instead of if you type in a long command and theres a spelling eror at the beginning of it you have to retype the whole thing? Qrack does this nicely, and it doesn't seem like it would effect anything other then being useful

Yeah sure, I'm going to be looking at integrating the type of console editing either in FitzQuake or Qrack/JoeQuake.

I just want to keep the feel old school style in the console, but I want all the convenience in there.
