reckless: yeah, well, again: thanks. I'll make use of it when I get to that point. I'm currently hacking on resurrecting -win :) Which leads in to...

leileilol: thanks for ENGOO: I've lifted your (well, MH's? it seems he's responsible for the GDI/DDraw support) vid_win.c and modified it to build in QF (heavy surgery using a chainsaw*). I really did not want to use Scitech. It looks like their might be some other nice features to lift from ENGOO such as stretch scaling.

*QF has separate in_*.c and vid_*.c, and both sw and gl use the same vid_*.c (since all renderers work with the one exe (plugins)).
Leave others their otherness.

Please don't wrap this engine in an installer, I just want a exe I can put in my quake directory and play with! Or single exe and one menu file that goes in the same directory. Also the 32bit version works fine, sorry I assumed the 64bit would be useful.

Hmm, well, I wasn't thinking anything sophisticated: just something that you could optionally run in your quake dir that creates ~/quakeforgerc with suitable settings (eg, vid mode, fs_sharepath (determined from the "installer"'s current directory...)

That's adapted from Siggi's scaling patch for UHexen2. It's slow when dealing with transparent pictures and could use some nice unrolling for speed.

You might want to start hacking from this instead since the engoo version has some extra dirty unworking hacks like window stretch that doesn't work.

I think Qbism has stretch_by_2 working in his edit of the code, so perhaps his is more mature.

Which is exactly why we need a "good" installer for singleplayer and/or modding. Pretty please!

Many use nquake for singleplayer btw.
