  QuakeSpasm 0.85.3 (unreleased) (18 September 2010)


  1.  About


  QuakeSpasm is a Quake 1 engine based on the SDL port of FitzQuake.  It
  includes 64bit CPU cupport, a new sound driver, and a few graphical
  niceities.  The main feature is it works on virtually all platforms,
  and supports large Q1 mods.

  QuakeSpasm Homepage <http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net>

  To disable some changes, use quakespasm -fitz

  For different sound drivers:
  SDL_AUDIODRIVER=DRIVER ./quakespasm
  Where DRIVER may be alsa, dsp, pulse, esd ...

  Shift+Escape now draws the Console.

  4.  Compiling

  Just extract the source tarball, then

  ______________________________________________________________________
  cd quakespasm-0.85.3
  make
  cp quakespasm /usr/local/games/quake (for eg)
  ______________________________________________________________________


  Use make DEBUG=1 for debugging.
  Optionally, HOME directory support can be enabled via the Misc/home-
  dir_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 envi-
  ronment that requires wxWidgets and cmake to install.  The process is
  not for the faint hearted.


  5.  Todo


  o  Ogg/Mp3 music file support

  o  Tested HOME directory support

  o  Fix Centerview (V_StartPitchDrift)

  o  Fix compiler warnings

  o  Tie down the "-window/-fullscreen" options / behaviour ?
