Qrack 1.90

[=peg=]

nope..

edit:
Ok after some more testing I tracked it down to gl_subdivide_size
I had this set to 4096 in my autoexec.cfg and apparently qrack does not like that..

Funny thing is tho, when I set it to 512 in autoexec.cfg -> load the start map (works fine now) -> then change it in-game to 4096 -> reload the map -> it works fine!

edit2:
As soon as I connect to EuroQuake -> crash! (auto-download worked fine tho)
The map that was being played at the time: Cleaver
When I load the map offline -> works fine -> OK.. -> connect again -> Crash!!

Also, my mouse buttons only started working after ALT-TAB to windows and back

commandline:

glQrack.exe -mem 64 -zone 8192 -width 1024 -height 768 -bpp 32 -refreshrate 75 -dinput -noforcemparms -window -startwindowed

Rook,

just tried the new qrack 2.01 build 2878 and i must say its sexy. while it leaves me wanting more i have so much fun giving into using it daily. as good as all that sounds i have stumbled onto a problem with the latest build. but let me explain some stuff 1st. i have things setup so when quake launches, specific cvars and other aliases are loaded at startup

the problem is when i load a map, my aliases are forgotten !??? dbl u tee f
this does not happen with qrack 1.90 build 2422 and heres how i have things setup. now as mention all the aliases in dev.cfg are forgotten when i load a map and requires that i re- exec dev.cfg for them to work again untill next map change.

in autoexec.cfg i have

exec dev.cfg
exec settings.cfg

in dev.cfg i have aliases like

alias "gamma" "gamma6"
alias "gamma6" "gl_gamma 0.51; alias gamma gamma5"
alias "gamma5" "gl_gamma 0.52; alias gamma gamma6"


alias "video" "startrecord1"
alias "startrecord1" "capture_start mysegment1; alias video stoprecord1"
alias "stoprecord1" "capture_stop; alias video startrecord2"
alias "startrecord2" "capture_start mysegment2; alias video stoprecord2"
alias "stoprecord2" "capture_stop; alias video startrecord1"

in settings.cfg i have cvars like

map start
m_filter "1"
+mlook
sv_aim "1"
cl_bob ".01"
cl_bobcycle "10"
cl_bonusflash "0"
cl_clock "1"
cl_clock_x "1"
cl_confirmquit "0"
cl_gun_fovscale "0"
gl_decal_blood "0"
gl_picmip "0"
r_drawviewmodelsize ".45"

its not a big deal, i just bind a key to exec dev.cfg but is this a bug?

[ungod]

another problem

crashes everytime i pick up ring of shadows

also noticed -window command is not working

rook, i would like to add a few suggestions for upcoming releases
Numberpad support-would be nice if those keys worked in the console to enter in values from the numpad and hit kp_enter to enter because its so much easier that way.

customizable mouse acceleration-as described by mh in this thread Inside3d Forums :: View topic - Dynamic Mouse Acceleration that would be pretty sweet.

gl_sub_divide will actually render water textures at a different scale. I should put a fail-safe cap in it. If you set gk_sub_divide 16 your 'liquid' textures will look HUGE, and vice verca for large values.

on your command line, -dinput overrides the -noforcemparms. No force OS mouse parameters can only be used if direct input is disabled.

Edict limits and other quake standard limits are being ratified, so alot of these errors will diminish in future versions.

Ungod: I know whats the problem, I make it so that all alias commands get cleared between servers. I should cvar that so u can disable it.

just
wanted to add something i forgot to mention earlier

fix scourge of armagon so that the annoying bullet hole sprites do not show up in qrack because there already is gl_decals_bullets and looks so much better.

I agree, R00k. you should make a special cvar to disable s_bullet.spr in SOA.

ungod, download this and put it in your HIPNOTIC pak0.pak under progs. it basically takes care of the problem completely..let it overwrite the original s_bullet.spr.

also R00k, regarding SOA.

when the player model switches to playham.mdl as you choose the Mjolnir, you make footstep sounds standing still. I was also hoping you can make playham_0_shirt and playham_0_pants recognized so the player 24-bit colors correspond still.

*EDIT*

I see you already solved the footstep problem as I just tried it on the latest build, thanks! now I only wish for playham shirt and pants to work =]

Does this mean some of those very large SP maps that were designed for limit-removing engines will work in Qrack? That would be VERY awesome.

Hey R00k, how do I get Frikfile support working in Qrack? I tried dumping the waypoints to a quakec file using the menu in Frikbot editing mode, but it says, "save waypoints requires frik_file support from www.quakesrc.org to be present in the engine code". I thought you added support for this?

The reason I now need to use this so bad is that I have to convert all 400 waypoints I've made for the Frikbots to .qc format. It turns out that my pack is not compatible with Quakeworld using external .way files, so I need to convert them all to .qc format (so the Quakeworld users can use my waypoints). If frikfile support is what I think it is, then it will SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the amount of time it will take me to do this.

[R00k]

Thats weird it worked when i tested it... lemme fire up Frikbot X and test it out...
hmm something seem broken, in the mean time u can use DP to convert your 400 .way files
