Visit the
FitzQuake Homepage for a full run-down of 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 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"
Music Playback
From 0.85.4 Quakespasm can play back external MP3, OGG and Wave music files.
- Tracks should be named "track01.ogg, track02.ogg" ... (for example), and placed into "Quake/id1/music".
- Linux users may need some extra libraries installed : libmad for MP3, and libogg and libvorbis for OGG.
- Use the "-nomusic" option to disable this feature.
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 SDLNET=1 to enable SDL_net (Otherwise the socket api will be used directly)
- make SDL_CONFIG=/PATH/TO/SDL-CONFIG for unusual SDL installs
Streaming music playback requires "libmad" for MP3, and "libogg", "libvorbis" for OGG files.
HOME directory support can be enabled via the Misc/homedir_0.patch diff
If for any reason this doesn't work, the project can also be built with Codeblocks.
This is a large, free, integrated development environment that requires wxWidgets and cmake to install.
The process is not for the faint hearted
.
- Implement music (ogg, mp3, wav) playback

- Much needed OSX framework stuff from Kristian
- Add a persistent history feature (thanks Baker)
- Add a slider for scr_sbaralpha, which now defaults to 0.95 (slightly transparent, allowing for a nicer status bar)
- Allow player messages longer than 32 chars

- sv_main.c (localmodels) Bumped array size from 5 to 6 in order for it to operate correctly with the raised limits of fitzquake-0.85
- Accept commandline options like "+connect ip:port"
- Add OSX Makefile (tested?)
- 64 bit CPU support
- Restructured SDL sound driver
- Custom conback
- Tweaked the command line completion , and added a map/changelevel autocompletion function
- Alt+Enter toggles fullscreen

- Show helpful info on start-up
- Include real map name (sv.name) and skill in the status bar
- Remove confirm quit dialog

- Default to window mode
- Withdraw console when playing demos
- Don't play demos on program init
- Default Heapsize is 64meg
