QuakeSpasm

QuakeSpasm
is a modern, cross-platform Quake engine based on
FitzQuake.
It includes support for 64 bit CPUs and custom music playback, a new
sound driver, some graphical niceities, and numerous bug-fixes and other improvements.
Quakespasm utilizes either the SDL or SDL2 frameworks, so choose which one works best for you.
SDL is probably less buggy, but SDL2 has nicer features and smoother mouse input - though no CD support.
Visit the
FitzQuake homepage for a full run-down of the engine's commands and variables.
- To disable some changes, use "quakespasm -fitz"
- Quakespasm's custom data is stored in "quakespasm.pak". Install this file alongside your id1 directory to enable the custom console background and other minor features.
- For different sound backend 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 and SDL2 doesn't support CD audio. 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 {-quoth/hipnotic/rogue}"
- Use "quakespasm -condebug" to save console log to "qconsole.log". SDL2 builds no longer generate stdout.txt/stderr.txt.
Quakespasm can play various external music formats, including MP3, OGG and FLAC.
- 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.
- As of 0.90.0, music is played back at 44100 Hz by default with no need to adjust "-sndspeed".
- Use the "-noextmusic" option to disable this feature.
- See
Quakespasm-Music.txt for more details.
The SDL2 variant of Quakespasm supports Xbox 360 style game controllers.
The default configuration uses the left analog stick for movement and the right for looking.
If your controller doesn't work you can try placing
this file in your Quake directory, it is a community-maintained database that adds support for more controllers to SDL2.
Cvars
- joy_deadzone - Fraction of the stick travel to be deadzone, between 0 and 1. Default 0.175.
- joy_deadzone_trigger - Fraction of trigger range required to register a button press on the analog triggers, between 0 and 1. Default 0.2.
- joy_sensitivity_yaw/pitch - Max angular speed in degrees/second when looking. Defaults are 300 for yaw (turning left/right) and 150 for pitch (up/down).
- joy_exponent - For the look stick, the stick displacement (between 0 and 1) is raised to this power. Default is 3. A value of 1 would give a linear relationship between stick displacement and fraction of the maximum angular speed.
- joy_invert - Set to 1 to invert the vertical axis of the look stick.
- joy_swapmovelook - Set to 1 to swap the left and right analog stick functions. Default 0, move on the left stick, look on the right stick.
- joy_enable - Set to 0 to disable controller support. Default 1.
Buttons
Some of the controller buttons are hardcoded to allow navigating the menu:
- Back - alias for TAB
- Start - alias for ESC
- DPad, analog sticks - mapped to arrow keys
- A Button - alias for ENTER in menus
- B Button - alias for ESC in menus
These buttons can be bound normally:
- LTRIGGER - Left trigger
- RTRIGGER - Right trigger
- LSHOULDER - Left shoulder button
- RSHOULDER - Right shoulder button
- LTHUMB - Clicking the left thumbstick
- RTHUMB - Clicking the right thumbstick
- ABUTTON
- BBUTTON
- XBUTTON
- YBUTTON
quakespasm.pak contains a default.cfg which has been updated to give some default bindings. L/R shoulder buttons are bound to weapon switching, and L/R triggers are jump and attack.
The controller support started as Jeremiah Sypult's implementation in Quakespasm-Rift and also uses ideas and code from LordHavoc (DarkPlaces).
See the Downloads section to get the sourcecode, then below for platform specific instructions.
Quakespasm can also be built with the cross-platform Codeblocks.
Quakespasm's (optional) custom data is now stored in the file quakespasm.pak. This file should be placed alongside your quakespasm binary and id1 directory.
After extracting the source tarball, "cd Quake" and edit the Makefile for music options.
Streaming music playback requires "libmad" or "libmpg123" for MP3, and "libogg" and "libvorbis" for OGG files.
Then type "make" to compile the program, and copy the "quakespasm" binary (and "quakespasm.pak") to your Quake game directory.
Compile time options include
- make DO_USERDIRS=1 to include user directories support
- make DEBUG=1 for debugging
- make SDL_CONFIG=/PATH/TO/sdl-config for unusual SDL installations
- make USE_SDL2=1 to compile against SDL2 instead of SDL-1.2
QuakeSpasm developers cross-compile windows binaries using
MinGW-w64 and
MinGW.
The project can also be built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and newer versions.
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.
QuakeSpasm 0.94.0 has initial support for playing the 2021 re-release content: Copy the quakespasm binary to your rerelease installation and run quakespasm as you normally do.

- Reject lit files if they're the wrong size (eg hipnotic/start.bsp vs id1/start.lit or just a bsp that no longer has any coloured lits, etc)
- External ent files are now versioned using 4 digit crc of the original map's ents, like e1m1@c49d.ent, which is much safer. The old method (e.g. e1m1.ent) still works but isn't recommended.
- Support for external vis files.

- Change the "always run" menu option to offer three choices:
off (cl_alwaysrun 0, cl_forwardspeed 200, cl_backspeed 200)
vanilla (cl_alwaysrun 0, cl_forwardspeed 400, cl_backspeed 400)
quakespasm (cl_alwaysrun 1, cl_forwardspeed 200, cl_backspeed 200)

- Updated some of the third-party libraries.
- SDL2 Game Controller support.
- Contrast support with new "contrast" cvar, behaving the same as MarkV. It may be a useful alternative to the existing gamma control for laptops in a bright environment, etc. Raising contrast gives less of a gray/washed out look than raising gamma, but at a disadvantage: colors near white get clipped to white.
- RMQ protocol (999) support, adapted from RMQEngine.

- Fix a rare incorrect mdl lighting on 64-bit builds.
(details here.)
- Fix fullbrights turning black after "kill" command (bug introduced in 0.90.0).
- Clear all fog values on map change to prevent colored fog carrying over to jam3_tronyn.bsp.
- Allow loading saves with } character in quoted strings, fixes issue with retrojam1_skacky.bsp.
- Fix viewmodel not lerping on extended-limit maps.
- Fix crash on out-of-bounds skin number.
Performance
- Use multithreaded OpenGL on OS X for better performance.
- New, faster mdl renderer using GLSL. Disable with "-noglslalias".
Visual improvements
- New gamma correction implementation using GLSL. Fixes all known gamma issues (affecting the full display, persisting after quitting, or darkening the screen on OS X). Disable with "-noglslgamma".
- Use high-quality water by default (r_oldwater 0).
- Shadows use stencil buffer to avoid overlapping artifacts (from MarkV.)
- r_noshadow_list cvar added (from MarkV.)
Interface improvements
- Support pausing demo playback with the "pause" command.
- Autocompletion for "game", "record", "playdemo".

'make DO_USERDIRS=1' to enable it.
- SDL2 support. Disabled by default, 'make USE_SDL2=1' to enable it.
- Revised keyboard input code.
- Revised/improved the 'game' command, i.e. on-the-fly mod changing. It now accepts an optional second argument for mission packs or quoth support i.e. -hipnotic, -rogue, or -quoth. For example, for WarpSpasm: "game warp -quoth"
- Command line: "-game {quoth/hipnotic/rogue}" is now treated the same as -quoth, -hipnotic, or -rogue.
- Console speed now resolution-independent.
- Disabled gl_zfix, which caused glitches and is undesirable for new maps. Replacement .ent files to fix z-fighting for several id1 maps added to quakespasm.pak.
- PF_VarString buffer bumped to 1024, avoids truncated centerprints from the 'In The Shadows' mod.
- Support for opengl non-power-of-two-textures extension (disable with command line: "-notexturenpot".)
- Support for OpenGL vertex buffer objects (VBO, OpenGL 1.5 or newer) for world and brush models (disable with command line: "-novbo".)

- Support for Opus, FLAC, and tracker music (S3M, IT, UMX, etc.), as compile-time options.
- Music and sfx now mixed at 44100 Hz to avoid downsampling music. Low-pass filter applied to the sfx if -sndspeed is 11025 (the default), to preserve the same sound quality as 0.85.9. New -mixspeed option sets the rate for mixing sfx and music, and output to the OS (default 44100), setting it to 11025 reverts to 0.85.9 behaviour. New snd_filterquality cvar, value can be between 1 (emulate OS X resampler) and 5 (emulate Windows resampler), controls the sound of the low-pass filter.

- Fix cvar cycle command not working sometimes.
- Host_Error upon missing models. (Prevents segmentation faults.)
- Change sv_aim default value to 1 (i.e. turn off autoaim)
- Add 'prev' and 'next' keywords to the 'cd' command.
- Work around a linux cdrom issue (playback might not start for a while after a stop).
- Quakespasm content customization moved from engine-embedded into a new optional quakespasm.pak file.
- Version bumped to 0.90.0 (because Quakespasm has a decent life of it's own)
- Other fixes and clean-ups.
- Fixes for several undefined behaviors in C code (gcc-4.8 support.)
- Implemented Hor+ style field of view (FOV) scaling, useful for widescreen resolutions. Configured by new cvar fov_adapt: set it to 1 and your fov will be scaled automatically according to the resolution. Enabled by default.
- Adjusted string buffers for PR_ValueString and friends to fix crashes with excessively long global strings seen in some rude mods.
- Toned down warning messages from PF_VarString() a bit.
- Fixed Fitzquake's map existence check in changelevel (used to leak file handles which would end up in a Sys_Error() due to consuming all free handles if many maps reside not in pak files.)
