We had a report that, on 64-bit builds of Quakespasm, players were getting crushed when pressing angled buttons in some custom maps/mods: *
- Travail's qte1m2.bsp: noclip to 2788 732 -584, and press the button. The player will get crushed and killed on affected engines.
- sm179_otp.bsp: pressing the ...

Yeah - I mean the .ent's aren't the worst, but if this "emulate SGIX_reference_plane with GLSL" idea actually works, it seems like it would be better, and wouldn't have the issues of adding cracks around secret doors that gl_ztrick does.

If it works, what I was thinking was:
- new "gl_zfightingfix ...

I was thinking about this again... QuakeSpasm's solution of including hacked .ent files for id1 maps is not the greatest.

First train of thought was,
-add the face plane (float3 normal, float dist) for each vertex to the VBO for BSP models.
-maybe render the world into a float4 FBO color buffer ...

SDL2 has a winRT backend. It seems to have some stuff in place for providing OpenGL ES via ANGLE:

Never tried any of it, but engines that support SDL2 and GLES already (DP and FTE?) might run on winRT with little effort?

Crossposting this from func_msgboard: SV_TouchLinks abuse test case:

"The player spawns over 4 nailguns. The nailgun touch function calls setorigin() to move all 4 nailguns to the other side of the map (into another areanode).
The map freezes ...

Preach also has some tools:

Yeah, I think it must have been an attempt to round up to the nearest multiple of 4, but even then it doesn't work as written:

>>> x = 12
>>> (x + 31) / 8
5

This is a bug/typo, right?
fatbytes = (sv.worldmodel->numleafs+31)>>3;
https://github.com/id-Software/Quake/blob/master/WinQuake/sv_main.c#L412

That gives the number of bytes for the bitvector, plus 3 bytes padding, which seems useless.
It should just be (numleafs+7)>>3 like all of the other PVS ...

QS's current limit is equal to a 4096x2048 texture and can handle most maps (even e1-4.bsp) so you wouldn't even need to go as high as 16k x 16k. Some time I want to check out the performance difference of 1 lightmap texture over many. IIRC there is a tutorial on here about updating less than the ...

With the error commented out, I think all the faces from that point onward will just have wrong lightmaps. Might only affect a corner of the map.

Dynamic or increases limit - not sure how much more work it is to make it dynamic, probably not too bad?
In quakespasm I was lazy and just raised the ...

@toneddu2000 "brushDef" is the "brush primitives" map format.
afaik my compiler is the only Q1 qbsp with brush primitives support, and it should be OK with +-65k unit maps.

Have you checked out libffi Baker? This lets you call compiled code at runtime given the function name as a string.

That said, IMHO reflection should be considered harmful(TM) in most cases, usually there is a statically typed way to get the same result.

If you ...

I'm not sure if it would cause results like that, but LightThread takes a pointer argument (it's unused), so call it like this: LightThread(NULL);

I've got a fork of tyrutils, but it's straying quite far from the original utils so it may not be useful to study (and I've made a bit of a mess ...

The qbsp in tyrutils-ericw should be ok up to at least +-32k units: https://github.com/ericwa/tyrutils-ericw/releases
I can easily raise the limit further, as it's pretty much just one constant in qbsp (BOGUS_RANGE, I currently have it at 65536)
As spike said, hmap2 should also be good for large ...
