Re: Extending Quake Limits - Part 1: Static Entities

An extra info: R_RemoveEfrags is completely useless. It is only called when ent->model is false, but the entity efrags are only generated for static entities where ent->model is true. So, every time R_RemoveEfrags is called it does nothing, because ent->efrag is already NULL. I suspect that R_Remove...

Re: Extending Quake Limits - Part 1: Static Entities

Alright, here's how to eliminate the limit of efrags. Add this prototype above CL_ClearState: extern void CL_Init_EFrags (void); In CL_ClearState, delete this line: memset (cl_efrags, 0, sizeof(cl_efrags)); And replace these lines... // // allocate the efrags and chain together into a free list // c...

Re: Extending Quake Limits - Part 1: Static Entities

Although we no longer have a limit on the number of static entities we still have a limit on the number of efrags I'm trying to figure out how to remove this limit. It is hit in the function R_SplitEntityOnNode, when cl.free_efrags goes full. When the map starts, cl.free_efrags is initialized as a ...

Re: itembk2.wav - Site(s) restored!

Is it possible to add a favicon to this site? That would make its bookmark easier to find.

GZip coding

I'm implementing support for it right now, and I found out that GZip files does feature a checksum in the footer. What should I code to detect if the checksum is valid? Also, what happens when extra content is appended to the file? Is the old footer overwritten by the new data, or is the new data wr...

Re: Retroquad - a Quake engine with the most advanced realtime 8-bit color software renderer on Earth

Here's my Christmas present for everyone this year: Retroquad 0.10.0. I'm looking for feedback, both good and bad. I've had only one report of people being unable to run it in Windows 7. Can anyone else can confirm this? I wonder if that may be caused by me compiling it under Windows 10, but I don't...

Retroquad - a Quake engine with the most advanced realtime 8-bit color software renderer on Earth

This is a project I've been working on for years: Retroquad 0.6.6 Public Release . Retroquad is an 8-bit color renderer in substance, rather than style. It substantially uses 8-bit color rendering to create a visual style beyond that of any other 8-bit color renderer. In other words, what's Retroqua...

Creating a flexible malloc

Here's my attempt at a flexible memory allocation method: If there's not enough RAM, the value of the desired amount is halved until malloc suceeds. The algorithm then iterates down from the previously attempted higher amount value, until the highest possible available amount value is found. The alg...

Re: Screen coordinates of BSP polygon vertexes

The thing is, the polygon rasterizer already does all the projection calculations, so having to project the polygon again is a waste of processing. Plus, the vertex data from the rasterizer is already clipped to the frustum and to the other bmodels, so it should give a more accurate result which won...
