* Pass the same compiler flags like make.
* Update FindSDL2.
* Remove unneeded FindOggVorbis.
There still some options missing, like the RPATHes or he ability to
define the system wide installation directory.
At high 'fov' values the weapon looked quite distorted.
Now it's rendered with an independent FOV, which looks better.
Note that the 'fov' cvar sets fov_x, while this is based on fov_y
(which is calculated from fov_x), so it's indeed different values:
r_gunfov seems to correspond to fov 90.
We use r_gunfov 80 as default, because it looks better.
if that cvar is set to 1, particles aren't rendered as nice circles, but
as squares, like in the software renderer or in Quake1.
Also documented it in cvarlist.md and fixed some typos there
This icon was supplied by Ryan as SVG. I've converted the raw SVG in a
PNG with size 512x512 (for Linux / Unix desktops) and an ICO (for
Windows). The ICO contains the levels 16x16 to 512x512 and should be
usable on high DPI screens.
The ImageMagick command to generate the ICO was:
convert quake2.png -bordercolor white -border 0 \
\( -clone 0 -resize 16x16 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 32x32 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 48x48 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 64x64 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 96x96 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 128x128 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 256x256 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 512x512 \) \
-delete 0 quake2.ico
This closes issue #106.
Deleted frameworks from inside the .app template.
Install them with home-brew before compiling:
libogg
libvorbis
libjpeg
openal-soft
sdl2
Note, current compilation is dynamic linking, so the end user will also
need these dependencies installed. Will change to static linking or
copying the libs into the .app through makefile in a future commit.
Unfortunately we can’t generate the whole .app in the makefile as we
are relying on a third party app for the game selector GUI. This could
be replaced in yquake2 code, but I don’t know ObjectiveC :O Maybe it’s
a good opportunity to learn.
No changes to source were needed, just to makefile.
The build process is now also different.
Frameworks are no longer needed, but you will need to get some packages
from Homebrew to compile.
Install homebrew, then get the following packages before compiling.
openal-soft
libogg
libvorbis
sdl2
No, this is not a rage quit but the result of a long discussion. There
are several reasons for us to drop OS X support:
- OS X support was always more or less hacky. For example is was never
really integrated into the build system and some features like the
OpenAL sound backend never worked well.
- The OS X support never grew into the new world based upon SDL2.
- It was broken since at least Lion which was released 4 years ago.
- None of the developers has a Mac or plans to buy one. Supporting
a software for a platform not used by the developers is more or
less impossible.
- And despite several appeals no one from the OS X community ever
stept up and send patches.
Removed are:
- Makefile support
- The OpenAL quirks
- The Cocoa bindings
- The framworks
Not removed is:
- Savegame support
- Memory management support
- Platform detection
- OpenGL and SDL includes
So, if someone steps up and does a modern, fully integrated port based
upon SDL2 we're happy to merge it back. The requirements are:
- It must be a clean port, without any hacks
- Full build system integration must be provided
- The port must be maintained even after it was merged. At every release
binaries must be build, API / ABI changes with new OS X versions must
be tracked.
