I was just looking at a similar crash in QMB the other day, after some valgrind work I found a string being allocated without space for a null terminator which was clobbering the malloc header data and causing malloc to die the next time it was called.

Valgrind is an awesome tool and well ...

I would recommend using something like GLee or GLEW to handle the extra opengl functions and checking for what features are available. So much better than doing it by hand.

I'd prefer to stick with a makefile because it means, less dependencies for building. Builds are working for me, that's why I announced it, also I've only built it on one platform hence why I said 'expect issues'. There does seem to be a problem with GLee headers being in different places in ...

I guess is should have been more specific that it's the QMB Quake Engine that has gone crossplatform

Thanks for the advice on the networking, hopefully I'll get around to that once I fix all the bugs that seem to have turned up after I thought things were working...

Using the SDLQuake source ( http://www.libsdl.org/projects/quake/ ) I managed to get QMB working on Linux using the SDL libraries. SDLQuake originally only supported SDL for software rendering but I created an OpenGL version of the SDL video ...

Being a bit late to answering this, you have probably fixed this, but I would say it's missing the #import <gl/gl.h> as that's where those things are defined.

I'm intrigued to see how this turns out. My projects always seem to lose steam and not quite get anywhere, it's hard to keep motivation up during the early days of a project.

Totally over-hyped. I mean HL wasn't a bad adventure/action rail shooter. It just wasn't as awesome as they said it was.
* AI didn't really seem that smart
* Everything was scripted
* Almost totally linear with a small amount of backtracking

Unreal came out earlier the same year (May 22, 1998 vs ...

Maybe learn what the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) before calling april fools on things... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmoEOpGJdk

Maybe we should think of changing the format of Quake Expo, I don't think their is enough people working on quake projects any more to make the original format work.

Doesn't some of the asm code use different algorithms to the C code?

I'm using SDL for window management and input currently, I was looking at it for sound but was wondering about other API's like openal might be a better choice.

What is your sound API of choice? I'm looking into implementing sound into my game prototype engine but I'm not sure which API to look at...

Cross platform would be a big plus. Currently I'm using OpenGL and SDL, so I would like to keep my platform options open with the sound API too.

Glut is ok for tech demos, but for anything more serious SDL is the way to go, actually SDL isn't bad for tech demos either
