"FitzQuake Plus": An Easy Engine To Compile

[ceriux]

sweet, will you give a small walkthrough in the steps to correctly use them as you have implemented?

[Baker]

Well ... I'm thinking prefix the texture name with a "{" and use color #255 to indicate the transparent part.

I'm rather sure that's what Remake Quake does and also what Half-Life does. And quite nice that MH and gb + co. stuck with the prefix used in another game

I'll see if I can get this out tonight.

Yeah, that's what we do and the reason why is because it was already an established standard. Brushes using these textures really should go in bmodels too otherwise PVS will go crazy, but the engine code can support them on the world. In the future, when/if detail brushes work, this will be important.

Version 2 .... SDL build? Native Windows build? It is all the same source code now.

Kurok support. "Fence" texture support. HLBSP support. etc, etc.

I decided to use Fitzkurok for my mod, and Jukki suggested I use this. All in all, thanks for making this

EDIT: It won't let me start the game at all. Everytime I click it, it says Quake has encountered a problem and needs to close. Then it asks me to send an error report. Does anyone know how the heck to fix this? DP works for me, But I want to use this engine.

ms runtime going fubar ? had this experience a load of times with the msvc8 and msvc9 runtimes look in windows error log.

if you have something from that quake engine saying the side by side configuration is wrong then you need an upated runtime.

im really happy they disregarded that model in msvc10

Please use the most recent link ( http://quake-1.com/files/engine-sources ... lus_v2.zip ) and self-compile a Windows-native build.

I didn't upload a binary for that one but you should be able to compile your own hella-easy.

Still, it is possible your DarkPlaces gamedata isn't compatible with a normal Quake engine and is causing the crash.

Lemme know.

There isn't any project files in v2. How the f*** am I supposed to compile this.

[Baker]

Version 2 uses CodeBlocks. I didn't have time to make a MSVC Express version last update.

The project file has the extension .cbp

To compile ...

Option #1: Code::Blocks + MinGW. Code::Blocks is a light and tight IDE that combined with MinGW uses the gcc compiler. The install is a mere 74MB. Download that at http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks ... -setup.exe . To compile, unzip the fitzplus.zip and then unzip the engine source zip contained within. Double click the FitzQuake_GCC.cbp file to open the project; press F9 to Build the binary and run. The End.

Ugh... I avoided downloading MSVC so much... Then I download it to work on porting some of the features from Revamped PSP to Revamped PC. Then I want to use Kurok instead, and it has problems...

I goto use this engine and now it requires codeblocks. Now I have to get codeblocks after i for-longed to get MSVC. I don't know what I should do now.

Also, I tried regular Kurok without modifying anything, and it surprisingly worked. I really wonder whats up.

Code::Blocks is just a IDE. You can still using Visual Studio compiler with it.

Thanks a lot for this release. I really wanted to get frag.machine's chase cam code in this but now it's already been done, w00t.

I took Bakers "FitzQuake Plus" version 1 code and hot-rodded it for fast lightmaps support. This will now run over 30 times faster on Intel hardware in scenes with lots of dynamic or animated lights; smaller improvements can be expected on better hardware.

I also fixed up some errors in the MSVC project files
- Selecting a Debug configuration now makes a Debug build
- Removed the manifest file
- Removed browse information (not needed with MSVC 2008)



Before: 8 FPS
After: 260 FPS

Use your favourite diff tool to figure out what was changed; it's very little really.

You're welcome.

Haha ... thanks!

Looks like nazi zombies portabl is goingto change using this engine because darkplaces to psp connection doesnt work. Once more baker saved my game <3
