set fs_pluginpath to point to the right dir, and set snd_plugin to pick a sound
plugin.
Current issues:
- alsa 0.5 won't build properly, dunno why
- segfault on exit. I think I know the cause of this, and how to fix it
- alsa 0.9, gus, sgi, sun, and win32 havn't been tested
cl_max_particles now lives in *part.c - in GL it dynamically changes the
amount of particles on the fly! Needless to say this is fun, and this is
proboably the third cvar that uses the callbacks function at all - which
IMHO is really a cool trick Taniwha.
However I'm losing my SANITY in r_part.c - if someone could take a look,
I'd be greatly appreciative. It should be obvious to any developer that
I'm having a few problems. :P Basically the dynamic code is completely
and totally disabled, and I hacked in code which *works* but shouldn't
EVER EVER EVER be left there after we fix this as it is downright EVIL
the way I implimented it. SW client does work, and does still work with
+set cl_max_particles - however the hacks I made to get it to do that...
*shakes head* Tread softly in there, it's a mess.
Other notes of interest:
I changed show_time so it archives its setting. Got annoyed with it. If
someone finds this change to be bad, change it back. :)
glspeed.cfg got updated with a setting of 60 for cl_max_particles. 60
works nicely, and doesn't use too much speed on my aging hardware, so
I'm sure newer systems will just plain FLY with this on.
I also changed the cl_maxfps setting as 72 is great if you aren't using
a modem !.! due to the way cl_maxfps works, the higher it goes, the more
data is sent to you by the server. This causes a heck of a lot of lost
packets if you don't have the bandwidth OR if your card can't keep up
with the framerate. Either of which is bad. I set it to 30, the default
of the cvar is 0/32 so go figure out what works best for you I say.
Let me know if this blows up in your face and ESPECIALLY let me know if
you can fix the r_part.c problems!

remove includes of qdefs.h and compat.h
pr_comp.h:
merge pr_comp.h from quake and qfcc, removing the copy in qfcc
cmdlib.[ch]:
nuke the endian code.
qendian.c:
initialise the LittleLong etc pointers at compile time rather than run
time
com.c (both nq and qw):
nuke the LittleLong etc init code
everything else:
fix up after the qtypes.h cleanup
new cvar: cl_max_particles. This cvar is archived, has no lower or
upper limits (well, less than 1 is not allowed) and can be changed in
game at any time.
BUGS:
Only one so far. I can't figure out why it's doing this, but in software
clients, (well, at least X11) if you set it to 1 particle, it acts like
you set it far higher. 2 acts like you set it to zero... Or maybe
it's showing 2 and I just can't see it on my 320x200 window. In any
case, the vagary must be something in the software particles code,
because I basically used the same code from the GL particles code for
this as I used for the software renderer.
If nobody can find fault with my code, I'll just make a special note in
the console help.
In any case, let me know of any problems.
