Qrack 2.01 beta public release

[rambo]

Waiting for Rambo Edition Qrack fokkk!

Also r00k: im getting that generic left mouse button failure when loading a new map or first connecting. Seems Qrack doesnt like me rushing the load of the new map or the initial map when I connect to a server. Qrack crashes 2 subsquent times after with the same error without me even touching the mouse button. So after the initial failure it crashes 2 more times before it lets me stay on the server. im running 3347.

Hmm so pressing the mouse button during intermission will crash?

It might not be related specifically to the mouse button, but I've seen rare crashes when loading external textures.

Does the crash completely kill the program or just drop you to the console?

Try two things: set cl_footsteps "0", and take out all of your high-res textures temporarily. I'm pretty sure R00k fixed the issue of cl_footsteps "1" crashing the game, but I did have this error at one point when I had it enabled.

MessageBox (hwnd_dialog, "Software Failure.\nPress left mouse button to continue","Guru Meditation #00000002.48454C50",MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP);

Actually, your error message doesnt say left mouse button error, but a generic message. I could have written "Oh the monkies are loose again!"

Your post reminds me of the old IBM PC error "Keyboard Error: Strike F1 to continue..."

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot! That actually reminds me of a funny error message I got on Duke Nukem years ago. I was trying to install the game, and it stopped halfway with the error message, "You're screwed and I don't know why". Mind you, this was the official Duke3d installer.

listen idc about the error, i dont want any =) wtf is going on hahaha

[R00k]

Not sure, might be a varied config conflict. Or a bug that has since been fixed... or something new..

[rambo]

how do i help you determine?

Get this version>> http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/dist/glQrack.exe

Tell me if anything happens bad

@Lightning_Hunter: this version will load 24bit gfx in game folder independent of their extension, though only from the commandline using either -game or "-hipnotic", "-rogue" etc...

[Lightning_Hunter]

Sweet, a new build of Qrack! I'll try it out.
Edit: Ok, so the new build gives me the Software Failure error. I'm looking into what's causing it.

R00k, any idea why some non-24-bit textures look messed up with gl_fb_bmodels "1"? The particular map in these screenshots is "Ramses2". You can download it here:
http://bigfoot.quake1.net/maps/ramses2.bsp

With gl_fb_bmodels "1"


With gl_fb_bmodels "0"

Ok, so I found the software failure error to go away with the newest build when I use -no24bitwad. It only works without that command if I take out all my custom textures, AND pak0.pak that came with the last build of Qrack...

[naustic]

I'm getting the same software error...

[R00k]

The gl_fb_bmodels on non 24bit textures is supposed to work like that.
It's actually a feature. The fullbright bmodels is because that map has values of the texture >224. That particular map looks odd because it's a mappers problem. He converted textures without the Quake palette. Previous version of Qrack didnt support fullbrights on normal textures but dos quake did so I added this to mimic the normal behavior. glQuake also lost this feature.

Crash: It's possible it's loading a texture, (either a particle etc.) that is 24bit that you might not have. Meaning i added something that is supposed to be loaded or, forgot to code if (!no24bit) somewhere... I'll run a debug build with a clean install...

[Lightning_Hunter]

The odd part is that if I remove the texture folder in pak0.pak (as well as all my own high-res textures), the game doesn't crash. You can try uploading your pak0.pak, and I can see if it works though.
