1. About
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.
<http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net>
2. Downloads
o <http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/download.htm>
3. Hints
Visit the FitzQuake Homepage <http://www.celephais.net/fitzquake> for
a full run-down of the engine's commands and variables.
o To disable some changes, use "quakespasm -fitz"
o For different sound drivers use "SDL_AUDIODRIVER=DRIVER
./quakespasm" , where DRIVER may be alsa, dsp, pulse, esd ...
o Shift+Escape draws the Console.
o From the console, use UP to browse the command line history and TAB
to autocomplete command and map names.
o There is currently no CD Music volume support. cd_sdl.c needs
replacing with cd_linux.c, cd_bsd.c etc..
o In windows, alternative CD drives are accessible by "quakespasm
-cddev F" (for example)
o Quakespasm allows loading new games (mods) on the fly with "game
GAMENAME"
3.1. Music Playback
Since version 0.85.4, Quakespasm can play back external MP3, OGG and
Wave music files.
o Tracks should be named like "track02.ogg", "track03.ogg" ... (there
is no track01) and placed into "Quake/id1/music".
o Unix users may need some extra libraries installed: "libmad" or
"libmpg123" for MP3, and "libogg" and "libvorbis" for OGG.
o To prevent tracks from being downsampled, use the "-sndspeed"
option to set a sufficiently high sample rate.
o Use the "-noextmusic" option to disable this feature.
o See <README.music> for more details.
4. Compiling
To check-out the latest version of QuakeSpasm, use :
svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/quakespasm/code/trunk/quakespasm
4.1. Linux/Unix
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
o make DEBUG=1 for debugging
o 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).
4.2. Windows
The QuakeSpasm developers cross-compile windows binaries using MinGW
<http://www.mingw.org> and Mingw-w64 <http://mingw-w64.sf.net>.
The project can also be built using Visual Studio 2005 (or newer).
4.3. Mac OS X
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.
5. Known Bugs
Some versions of Xorg and SDL have brightness issues.
Try setting "export SDL_VIDEO_X11_NODIRECTCOLOR=1", or if you have
Xorg >= 7.5 and broken brightness, these patched libSDL binaries may
help.
o Gamma patched libSDL (i686-linux)
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/quakespasm/files/Support%20Files/libSDL_gamma_patched.tgz/download>
o Gamma patched libSDL (x86_64-linux)
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/quakespasm/files/Support%20Files/libSDL_gamma_patched-
AMD64.tgz/download>
OS X has a well known gamma issue where the screen turns dark, but we
currently have no fix.
6. Changes
6.1. Changes in 0.85.10
o Support for Opus, FLAC, and tracker (S3M/UMX) music (as compile-
time options).
o Better Hor+ field of view (FOV) scaling behavior.
6.2. Changes in 0.85.9
o Fixes for several undefined behaviors in C code (gcc-4.8 support.)
o 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.
o Adjusted string buffers for PR_ValueString and friends to fix
crashes with excessively long global strings seen in some rude
mods.
o Toned down warning messages from PF_VarString() a bit.
o 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.)
o Fixes/cleanups in chat mode handling. Client no longer gets stuck
in chat mode upon disconnect.
o Mouse grab/key_dest fixes and key cleanups.
o The "speedkey" now acts as "slowkey" when "always run" is on.
o Support for demo recording after connection to server. (thanks to
Baker for a patch)

C-style /*..*/ comments.
o Changed lightmaps to GL_RGBA instead of GL_RGB.
o Better parse for opengl extensions list (from quakeforge.)
o Vsync saving/loading fixes.

o Multiple cleanups in gl_vidsdl.c.

o Music playback: Made sure that the file's channels count is
supported.

Mac OS X.
o Better support for building the Mac OS X version using a makefile,
support for cross-compiling on Linux.
o Fixed a minor intermissions glitch.
o Increased string buffer size from 256 to 384 for PF_VarString to
work around broken mods such as UQC.
