<P>Palisade's away for a bit. He should be back sooner or later but
|
||||
until then things are a bit muddled---sometimes life doesn't leave
|
||||
us with the opportunity to prepare for a need to become scarce for
|
||||
awhile. Since the show must go on regardless, the project's core
|
||||
coders have been picking up some of the administrative tasks 'till
|
||||
he gets back. Bear with us, it ain't exactly our department.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>This update will probably not be as frequent as many of you might
|
||||
want. I'm going to stick to development issues mostly, but I'll
|
||||
cover them in detail. Usually after the fact. But it will be
|
||||
updated.
|
||||
|
||||
<H2>How stable is stable?</H2>
|
||||
<P>Pretty damned stable from what I'm hearing, unless you run win32.
|
||||
Sorry about that, I don't do windoze so it didn't get tested. I
|
||||
have and will apply pretty soon a fix for that. Look for 0.1.2 to
|
||||
be released. Want a release date? Tough, I know better than to
|
||||
offer you one. We'll make sure it gets spammed to the usual sites
|
||||
when it's ready believe me.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>If you have a patch for something you want to go in to stable,
|
||||
send it to me! Now's the time to do it. I have patches for the
|
||||
cache mismatch bug planned. Our newest win32 coder, Tonik, has a
|
||||
fix for the win32 stuff in my inbox right now.
|
||||
|
||||
<H2>How unstable is unstable?</H2>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Well, dispite some problems with COM_Parse() that are screwing
|
||||
with QW, unstable works rather nicely. taniwha is working on it,
|
||||
should be fixed soon.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>raptor has been playing with volfog again and has it replacing
|
||||
the water brush for testing purposes. Give Necropolis a very nifty
|
||||
effect by grabbing yourself a watervis'd map and trying it out.
|
||||
raptor recommends r_wateralpha .3, r_volfog .0009, and r_waterripple
|
||||
5. Be forewarned that the volfog code currently uses the stencil
|
||||
buffer which is almost guaranteed to not be hardware accellerated.
|
||||
Expect a FPS drop. Using the stencil buffer is really not a good
|
||||
idea and raptor will fix it if I don't first. He's got other visual
|
||||
toys in mind too.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>We've decided it's time to kill the UQUAKE and QUAKEWORLD defines
|
||||
in common. Some of them won't go away, but many of them will. And
|
||||
soon. This brings us one step closer to a single unified game.
|
||||
Before that can happen though, we need to be able to build a UQuake
|
||||
dedicated server. Remember unixded? Of course you don't, it's
|
||||
ancient and it sucked. Well anyway, it needs to be able to be built
|
||||
and used once again so we have a point of reference for putting a
|
||||
server inside the QW clients. These two things are the last major
|
||||
hurtles to a unified game and tree. Everyone is encouraged to help,
|
||||
whether they're actually part of the project or not.
|
||||
|
||||
<H2>Standardize this!</H2>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>QuakeForge has joined the QE.. uh, right. QuakeForge has joined
|
||||
the QSG mailing list to hash out standards with other projects.
|
||||
We've generally agreed that we've all gotten a few nifty features
|
||||
implemented while we've been getting used to the new codebase (and
|
||||
in QF's case, rewriting it in the process!) We're just about at the
|
||||
point that we're starting to talk about where to go from this point
|
||||
to establish and maintain working standards. More news on that will
|
||||
become available as soon as we figure it out for ourselves.
|
||||
QuakeForge would like to thank these sponsors for their contributions to our
|
||||
project:
