New version of JoeQuake...

[Sikkpin]

Since it's not updated on his news page, I just want to let people know that there is a new version of JoeQuake out with some nice additions to it.

You can get here

Cool! I wasn't sure that Joszef would be doing any more updates.

I took it from the Zip file:

version 0.15 build 1862
-----------------------

-fixed bug when playback of demo file with corrupted header got system to hang up.

-extended the effect of gl_picmip to .mdl and .md3 files either.

-added particle muzzleflashes from QRack. You can enable/disable it via the
gl_part_muzzleflash cvar. Note that you need to restart the map if you change
it to take effect as it requires the model to be reloaded.

-added decals from QRack. Cvars are gl_decal_blood, gl_decal_explosions,
gl_decal_bullets and gl_decal_sparks. They all speak for themselves. Also gl_decaltime
for the amount of seconds and gl_decal_viewdistance for the distance how far the
decals can be seen.

-added stencil shadows, "r_shadows 2" to use it. I kept the old shadow too since
the use of stencil buffer results a massive performance loss.

-fixed a bug with video capturing when the game got freezed if capturedemo was
stopped with capture_stop command.

-fixed a bug when compressing the audio to mp3 during video capturing. If there's
any mp3 encoder exist in the system, Quake _does_ find and use it.

-added r_fullbrightskins 2 mode: among the player, it also changes the skin of
monsters to full bright as well.

-made a workaround for the "e2m2 bug" which occurs when playing on easy skill and
the players shots only one button at the beginning to enter the citadel and the
game freezes. It won't crash from now on, but results a Host_Error call.
I know I could've fix this bug for real I mean to not even drop the Host_Error
but keep running. The problem is (once again) loosing backward compatibility with
older Quake engines if a demo recorded in e2m2 using JoeQuake gets played in an
other engine, it will still cause the crash.

-added lightstyle interpolation to both GL and software versions.
Start e1m1 and check the flickering light at the beginning of the map to see the
effect. In my opinion it rocks skyhard

Hmm. This looks nice but how does it differ from Darkplaces or any of the other "advanced" clients?

[Canadian*Sniper]

It's based off fuhquake if I recall correctly. And fuhquake is a qw client based off ZQuake if I recall correctly. It was one of my favourite quake engines at the time with some nice eye candy.
