CSQC: Global Implementation Project

[Baker]

I ended up making the csprogsvers folder, operating on the assumption that it couldn't make the folder somehow.

I get "csqc closed" messages in the console. Not sure what that means ... but I'll continue playing around.

I remember creating a topic about movement prediction in CSQC.

How can that be done without modification to Quake's network protocol?

Well, I can imagine it could be done, but you'd end up chopping about every few frames..

not sure, but I'm guessing Baker didn't notice the svc_indep_clientdata stuff.
There is some extra stuff, but there's no reason it couldn't work without actual networking.

Networking differences: clientdata has a sequence number in it, and stats are cleaned up and extended. There's some extra client->server bits too.
csqctest supports clientside prediction, but it does use a builtin to get the default physics, which is basically no-op in non-qw protocols. You'd need to provide your own physics logic to replace that, but csqcwinquake should support the rest (and tracebox, so you can actually implement it). also there's the csqc ents stuff, and two additional client requests, one is a replacement clc_move which has additional sequence info, the other is a qcrequest request to send explicit args to the server in a reasonably clean way.
That's all I can remember.
There is also stuff at the transport level, to serve as a handshake as to the features the client supports (so the server doesn't send extensions to a client which does not support csqc).

Adding a download feature would be a wise decision, but doing so is complicated and bug prone (qrack+friends support curl already?).

Tbh, that's an eroneous message. It'll be printed when csqc is shut down at the end of a map, even if you had no csqc loaded. As well as the start of a map too, as paranoia. :s

Look for stuffcmds. The server *must* tell the client the csprogs version+size to use, or the client will load anything at all.

Yep. And for NQ many of the mods would be single player or you could have the expectation that the player actually installed the mod.

Uses:

1. single player (you should have everything)
2. traditional NQ client + server (CURL download)
3. non-traditional NQ client (non-CURL supporting platform) = have the mod or the files or they are in the "game" download

[Baker]

So far I am having some back luck with trying to get CSQC to run.

This is with Spike's csqctest compiled via compiling FTEQCCGUI from the SVN.

The I toss the csprogs.dat and the progs.dat into c:\quake1\gui

I start c:\quake1\csqcglquake.exe -game gui +map start

I get CSQC closed.

If I start FTEQW with the same command line, it crashes.

Then I tried running a "csqcwinquake.exe -dedicated -game gui" as a dedicated server and connecting the csqcglquake client to it with -game gui in the command line parameters. I still get csqc closed.

I'm going to return to integrating the source into the 3 initial target engines.

Advancing the frontier always involves a few arrows in the back and a couple of curves.

Btw ... I have not done this to the engine yet ..

I just noticed, you'll need to remove entries from QSG_Extensions in pr_bgcmd.c

Would that make a difference for the above?

[avirox]

Can it be a crc thing? I know DP is picky about that, but FTE is not. Not sure how Spike's implementation to winquake relates to the pickiness of one or the other, though..

Whatever the answer is, I'm going to trudge on with my work here.

I was just excited to try some CSQC and see it in action and, well, it didn't happen.

I'd even be satisfied if you messaged me a gamedir folder of your CSQC GUI tutorial with a compiled csprogs.dat and progs.dat for me to try in FTE.

I want in ezQuake and QRACK

I want in ezQuake and QRACK

Qrack will happen after I do JoeQuake.

Rook is always changing his source code so I'm doing it after the other ones. No sense of adding it into Qrack 2 or 3 times, ya know!

I'd even be satisfied if you messaged me a gamedir folder of your CSQC GUI tutorial with a compiled csprogs.dat and progs.dat for me to try in FTE.

CSQC GUI doesn't need a progs.dat. It's meant to be a plug-in mod extension. It can, of course, interact with ssqc though, but it doesn't in that mod. The csprogs.dat you already compiled should work in FTE now, should it not?

Both your CSQC GUI 10 and Spike's CSQCTest compiled with FTEQCCGUI and using only the csprogs.dat give me this with FTEGLQW 3343 using -game gui +map start



I pretty much get this in FTEQW with any of the self-compiled csprogs.dat using any version of fteqcc and any combination of fteqw version (2770, 3343). (fteswgl -game gui simply crashes).

I don't have any answers. Is it possible I am compiling wrong (seems hella unlikely, but I don't know)?

The above screenshot is with the map running.

Here is the whole game -gui directory:

http://www.quake-1.com/docs/csqc/gui.rar

With that directory, I do fteglqw (3343) -game gui +map start and get the above screen.

[avirox]

Baker; Have you tried connecting to megatf coop (74.54.186.230:27500) in FTE? If that doesn't work then I think you need to update your build of FTE

[Baker]

Baker; Have you tried connecting to megatf coop (74.54.186.230:27500) in FTE? If that doesn't work then I think you need to update your build of FTE

I downloaded it off FTEQW.com earlier today! At least the fteglqw one for absolute certain.

But I'll follow your advice and try some different ones and test connect to your server.


Ok ... how is it possible to be this lucky ...



I've tried to connect to your server 6 times and get the above message or similar (I re-downloaded fteglqw off the FTE site before connecting). I even created a new Quake folder with only pak0 and pak1 in id1 and tried connecting again.

I'm not exactly prone to having irregular issues with a Quake client.

I guess I'll downgrade to from 3343 to 2770 and try again ...

Ok, and guess what 2770 works just fine ...

[Trickle]

Baker, I'm excited for the Qrack csqc addition! but SOMEONE has to add this to ezQuake..because lets face it. its the most popular qw engine. if FTE has a big release sometime soon though, I think more players will notice the power of this code.


this would also benefit the megatf coop server, as like at least 90% of players use ezquake and will see the awesomeness.

I don't have enough knowledge of how the Quakeworld works at this point and ezQuake's code is radically different from, say, FuhQuake. It is heavily reorganized which can be both a good thing and bad.

And I suspect Spike's test implementation for NQ doesn't translate to Quakeworld directly.
