Remaster update broke DotM. Error happens when loading any map with the new DotM progs.

Extremely useful for searching for console cvars and commands. Also referred to as "apropos" command.

Also I'd probably remove the view distance slider in the options as its not needed anymore.

Can't properly change it in the menu, but can be changed while on power bunnyhopping.

what files do i need?

Hi there, I'm a longtime user and fan of Joequake. I was wondering if it's possible to do headless video capturing, i.e. rendering video to a file without starting the graphical interface itself, and just using command line. I thought it might be nice to be able to automate this for bulk capture and processing of demo files. Headless mode would just make it a bit easier on my computer and potentially less of a nuisance while doing other things.

As far as I can tell it's not possible, but maybe there are potentially other solutions to this?

Suppose using the QS status bar would be the best solution.

Unable to select the 1920x1080 resolution in the video modes menu.

Game locks up when hitting this trigger in map dm4jam_ww from https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/dm4jam.html

The trigger is right in front of the starting spawn.

Swinging blades are black in ad_magna and ad_necrokeep

Tested in QuakeSpasm and they look good.

There's also swinging blades in ad_lavatomb, but those look good.

I've noticed people have trouble loading Quoth mods in JoeQuake.

QuakeSpasm (looks like its originally from FitzQuake) has a -quoth command line option for loading Quoth and Quoth based mods.

Not a major issue as I've only seen it once, but i assume its some vanilla limitation.

The sky texture

Right now the only way to switch off fog is to enter 'fog xy' at every map start.
To overcome this problem, a cvar could be introduced to store custom values of fog parameters.

Hipnotic mission pack has a hidden feature of playing footsteps when quake guy is walking around. Oddly enough this is enabled by setting crosshair 2. See https://www.gog.com/forum/quake_series/quake_scourge_of_armagon_by_hipnotic_real_footsteps_sounds . I suppose back then they were sure people would only ever have crosshair 0 or crosshair 1.

Unfortunately, the alternate crosshair that JoeQuake provides with crosshair 2 collides with this. So if you want to have that crosshair, then you are forced to play hipnotic with rather ugly footstep sounds that even end up in the demo.

A simple (fully backwards compatible) solution could be to add another crosshair (crosshair 8) that is just the same as crosshair 2 which can then be used for playing hipnotic with that crosshair but without footstep sounds. Another option could be to add a new cvar entirely (cl_customcrosshair or something like that) and use that for selecting custom crosshairs (and maybe keep the old crosshair >= 2 working for backwards compatibility, but don't encourage it anymore). Could also do a variant of any of those two options and not care about backwards comptatibility I suppose, it's not the worst breaking change, users will figure it out. Any thoughts?

.ent files are basically entity list replacement for maps.

https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/apsp1.html is a good map to test this on since there's a hotfix with a .ent file.

When the player reaches the bottom of the opening lift, there's another lift straight across that is out of place without the .ent file loaded.

HUD/MENU gfx don't load/unload properly when switching mods in the menu

https://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/maps/alk1.1.zip is a good mod for testing it.

Buttons that move towards the player can cause the player to get stuck and unable to move.

Example of it happening is in one of the Travail maps https://www.quaddicted.com/filebase/travail.zip

This happens on map sm215_markie from https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/sm215.html

A SSG is supposed to spawn between the shells in the image.

There is a Vore that is triggered to spawn later on top of where the SSG is supposed to be which seems to be causing the issue.

The upcoming Dwell - Episode 2 is gonna be one of the first major Quake SP releases to use lightmapped liquids (-splitturb on qbsp in ericw tools).

It's backwards compatible, so maps compiled with -splitturb work fine if the engine doesn't support it.

I spent a bit of time debugging this, and the short version is that after the demo ends, the 3d scene is no longer rendered, but the intermission screen still is, effectively on top of garbage memory. The sequence of events that causes this is:

• svc_disconnect is parsed, calling Host_EndGame, which in turn calls CL_Disconnect, which sets cls.signon to 0
  

  JoeQuake/trunk/cl_parse.c

  Lines 1264 to 1265 in 69b8359

  	case svc_disconnect:
  	Host_EndGame ("Server disconnected\n");

  
  

  JoeQuake/trunk/host.c

  Lines 127 to 128 in 943c135

  	if (cls.demonum == -1 || !CL_NextDemo())
  	CL_Disconnect ();

  
  

  JoeQuake/trunk/cl_main.c

  Line 212 in 48915dd

  cls.signon = 0;

• when the next frame is rendered, SCR_UpdateScreen calls SCR_SetUpToDrawConsole, which sets con_forcedup to 1
  

  JoeQuake/trunk/gl_screen.c

  Line 1086 in dfe905f

  SCR_SetUpToDrawConsole ();

  
  

  JoeQuake/trunk/gl_screen.c

  Line 584 in dfe905f

  con_forcedup = !cl.worldmodel || cls.signon != SIGNONS;

• SCR_UpdateScreen then calls V_RenderView, which checks con_forcedup and returns (without clearing the screen or rendering anything)
  

  JoeQuake/trunk/view.c

  Lines 1482 to 1485 in 53032d6

  	void V_RenderView (void)
  	{
  	if (con_forcedup)
  	return;

• SCR_UpdateScreen continues, reaching a block of code that checks if cl.intermission is 1 and if key_dest is key_game, and then proceeds to render the intermission screen
  

  JoeQuake/trunk/gl_screen.c

  Lines 1115 to 1122 in dfe905f

  	else if (cl.intermission == 1 && key_dest == key_game)
  	{
  	Sbar_IntermissionOverlay ();
  	SCR_DrawVolume ();
  	if (con_notify_intermission.value)
  	SCR_DrawConsole();
  	}

An easy fix would be to reset cl.intermission to 0 in CL_Disconnect, which is what QS and vkQuake do:

Just in case you decide to look at it again :) getting an pf_ function error when trying to play nehara, strangely the demos work.

AMD did some serious work on their Open GL drivers recently. I'm getting about double the FPS on some maps.

But with that came some errors in the console.

Rumor has it Mazu's map in the upcoming Dwell - Episode 2 will have 1155 monsters

Commit for it on Ironwail. andrei-drexler/ironwail@85d042a

Map 1kknights from https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/dknights.html has 1111 monsters if you're looking for a quick map to test it.

This is from a dev build, not the public 17.4.

I assume its from the swinging blades fix fdd634b

For example as seen in Melbo's stream at 1:02:14:

The bar should grow from the left when positive (works):

and grow from the right when negative (doesn't work):

The map s2m6_alexunder from https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/snack2.html is a reliable map to test this on as there are two dead ranger mdls at the start.

This should fix the respawn time issue in Horde mode.

I've seen this requested a few times, its pretty useful. It logs center printed messages to the console.

There's no commit for it as its originally from FitzQuake, but here's the search results on QS https://github.com/sezero/quakespasm/search?q=con_logcenterprint&type=code

Remaster update made changes to the localization strings and some other stuff.

https://github.com/sezero/quakespasm has commits for the changes/additions.

As the title suggests. Specifically the type where all the levels are in a single .dem file (the kind that JoeQuake now produces). In terms of implementation it will be easiest to have the ghost start in sync with the player at the start of each level, rather than carrying over time delta from the previous level. It'd be nice to have the option of carrying the time delta over, though.

The camera angle of 'cutscenes' during demo playback on map https://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/maps/parallax.zip is incorrect.

Happens in this demo https://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/demos/ER/para_410.dz at 1:35

Tested the demo in QS and the camera angles are correct.

Map in image is bm_chrisholden from https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/bluemonday_v2.html

This happens in the version you sent me with the fixed vertex lights. It doesn't happen in the public 17.2 release.

Currently get the "couldn't load gfx.wad" message, which is rather cryptic for a newbie. Maybe something like "could not find pak0.pak. This file should be copied in from a retail Quake installation (eg. Steam / GoG / CD-ROM). See the installation guide at https://speeddemosarchive.com/quake/guide.html"?

Error happens when loading any map.

Maps load fine if you remove the progs.dat

The mod author said "I wonder if JoeQuake has some older pr_cmds size limitation preventing it from reading the full progs.dat or something. It is rather large. For a progs anyway"

Tested with QS and the maps load fine.
