QuakeSpasm
QuakeSpasm 0.85.5 (11 May 2011)
QuakeSpasm is a Quake 1 engine based on the SDL port of FitzQuake.
It includes 64bit CPU support, a new sound driver, several networking fixes and a few graphical niceities.

Visit the
FitzQuake Homepage for a full run-down of the engine's commands and variables.
- To disable some changes, use "quakespasm -fitz"
- For different sound drivers use "SDL_AUDIODRIVER=DRIVER ./quakespasm"
, where DRIVER may be alsa, dsp, pulse, esd ...
- Shift+Escape draws the Console.
- From the console, use UP to browse the command line history and
TAB to autocomplete command and map names.
- There is currently no CD Music volume support. cd_sdl.c needs replacing with cd_linux.c, cd_bsd.c etc..
- In windows, alternative CD drives are accessible by "quakespasm -cddev F" (for example)
- Quakespasm allows loading new games (mods) on the fly with "game GAMENAME"
Since version 0.85.4, Quakespasm can play back external MP3, OGG and Wave music files.
- Tracks should be named like "track02.ogg", "track03.ogg" ... (there is no track01) and placed into "Quake/id1/music".
- Unix users may need some extra libraries installed: "libmad" or "libmpg123" for MP3, and "libogg" and "libvorbis" for OGG.
- Use the "-noextmusic" option to disable this feature.
- See README.music for more details, if necessary.
To check-out the latest version of QuakeSpasm, use :
svn co https://quakespasm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/quakespasm/trunk
After extracting the source tarball, browse the Makefile and edit the music streaming options, then
make
cp quakespasm /usr/local/games/quake (for example)
Compile time options include
- make DEBUG=1 for debugging
- make SDL_CONFIG=/PATH/TO/SDL-CONFIG for unusual SDL installations
Streaming music playback requires "libmad" or "libmpg123" for MP3, and "libogg" and "libvorbis" for OGG files.
HOME directory support can be enabled via Misc/homedir_0.patch
The project can also be built with Codeblocks (project files included).
The QuakeSpasm developers cross-compile windows binaries using
MinGW and
Mingw-w64.
The project can also be built using Visual Studio 2005 (or newer).
A Quakespasm App (including program launcher and update framework) can be made using the Xcode template found in the MacOSX directory.
Alternatively, have a look at Makefile.darwin for more instructions on building from a console.
