Darkplaces single player bug?

[grzesiek311]

Hello,

I've got a strange problem with Darkplaces Quake 1 single player game. When I try to insert myself into the slipgate I recently die, and the game tells me that 'Player tried to leave'.

I've downloaded DP from its official website. That is realy annoying

You are using a weird configuration. Start from scratch with a clean installation and then start a new singleplayer game.

He has noexit 1 set in his configuration.

cvar_t noexit = {CVAR_NOTIFY, "noexit","0", "kills anyone attempting to use an exit"};

I've checked this and i've seen that 'noexit' equals '0'.

Still no progress.

It's strange cause this is only Darkplaces problem. Winquake and glquake are ok and I can play.

Easiest option would be to delete all the .cfg files and try again. This will reset everything (controls, options, ect).
One thing to check though, open up any autoexec.cfg's and ensure that noexit is 1 as autoexec.cfg overwrites what config.cfg has set (it's loaded last).
If you manually set noexit to 0 after it was 1 - be sure to restart the level as that option needs a map restart to take effect.

I thought it might be a multiplayer game.

Same here, clean install with texture, model and weapons pack and this bug... any1 knows what is it ?

Which build are you using? I just moved to the latest development autobuild release and it's so far the best DP has been running for me.

Also, what level(s) does this affect? Is it right at the start map when choosing an episode?

That's not a clean installation. Try without those packs. If the problem persists, tell us every key you press.

I've downloaded client, then used id1 for base catalog in Darkplaces, then installed texture packs. I've stated game, choose single, after choosing dif, normal, hard nevermind, i want to choose lvl, step on portal and it killed me everytime ...

That's still not a clean installation.

Do what Spirit said. Darkplaces, ID1 folder (containing nothing aside from pak0 and pak1 - no configs, no texture packs, no model packs, no music, nothing).

Then try it.

I think he should also run darkplaces.exe and not a shortcut (if he is) - as it could be causing it too if the parameters are setting noexit to 1 also.

Bit of a retraction here. My move to the latest stable DP autobuild is NOT the best DP has been running for me, anymore...

Seven pointed me to this link. I moved to that build and with a very small amount of testing found it to be better.

I don't think it will fix the issue this thread is focused on, just something to consider if you're going to start a clean DP build as some others have suggested.
