Func_Msgboard: Fitzquake SDL Version Beta

Posted by SleepwalkR on 2008/03/08 00:05:21

I just published a beta release of my SDL version of the Fitzquake engine. The main goal of this version is to allow Fitzquake to run on all major platforms. I provide builds for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Grab them at http://www.kristianduske.com/fitzquake/

Windows and Linux users take note that you have to install SDL 1.2.10 or better.

Windows users please also be aware that this port does not do anything better on Windows than metlslimes original version. Actually, it does less, but I would still like to get your feedback because there's a chance that the official version will be switched to SDL eventually. That would go a lot smoother if we ironed out the bugs on all platforms first.

Have fun and don't forget to send in your feedback and bug reports.

Nice catch that one, Steve. Applied to svn r100.

So... Anyone Feels Like Compiling A Binary For Mac OSX?

#221 posted by the silent on 2010/03/25 14:29:35

...And, while we're at it, implement the mappability of the command key?

#222 posted by stevenaaus on 2010/03/26 13:01:01

Might have an OSX bin up this weekend.

Re the command key - I can't find any doco. I can't even get the windows key working, and the latest darkplaces svn doesn't even map it.

Hmmm...

#223 posted by the silent on 2010/03/26 15:37:08

Fruitz of Dojo's glquake maps it just fine. Can this be of any help?

Anyways, thanks a lot for the binary!!!!

OSX Binary

Not properly tested, so let us know how it goes

And an app bundle

Not Properly Tasted?

#226 posted by Trippa on 2010/03/29 15:38:38

the icon is lickable. I will try a taste now

Hmmm... No Command Key.

#227 posted by the silent on 2010/03/29 15:45:36

...No use for me.

QS Update

#228 posted by stevenaaus on 2010/05/03 12:32:13

No major changes really.. just bug-fixes.
We'll probably include proper home directory support (currently included as a patch) and ogg music playback, when someone can be arsed to do it.

windows linux source

* Replace the old "Screen size" slider with a "Scale" slider
* Don't constantly open and close condebug log
* Heap of C clean-ups
* Fix mapname sorting
* Alias the "mods" command to "games"
* Block/Unblock sound upon focus loss/gain
* NAT fix (networking protocol fix)
* SDLNet_ResolveHost bug-fix allowing connection to ports other than 26000
* sv_main.c (localmodels) Bumped array size from 5 to 6 in order for it to operate correctly with the raised limits of fitzquake-0.85
* Accept commandline options like "+connect ip:port"
* Add OSX Makefile (tested?)

Oh Yes

Great work! Especially the multiplayer improvements!

Thanks!

Thanks :)

The OSX version runs pretty sweetly here. Would be good to get rid of the window bar for proper full screen, but other than that it seems nice.

#232 posted by stevenaaus on 2010/06/22 15:41:21

In quakespasm subversion, Oz has replaced SDL_net with OS dependent modules, and the dedicated feature *should* be working... Anyway, it works on my Sabayon OS, but Fedora 7 has an issue right now.

svn co https://quakespasm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/quakespasm

Does anyone know what needs to be fixed in the SDL_net driver ?

Quakespasm + Command History

#233 posted by Baker on 2010/06/25 13:29:40

I wrote a short "how to" on adding session to session command line history to an engine.

http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=2386

It's a 3.5 minute platform-neutral change even for SDL [if memory serves correctly].

I have long felt that session-to-session command line history was something all engines should have (but only JoeQuake + derivatives) had --- but now DarkPlaces and ezQuake has it too.

Anyway, if interested. I really like Quakespasn for single player play -- it is a very nice job.

#234 posted by gb on 2010/06/25 13:35:57

> Does anyone know what needs to be fixed in the SDL_net driver ?

Nope.

Darkplaces has an SDL version. I usually look at DP when I'm in trouble. Dunno if it uses SDL_net though, haven't looked in that direction yet.

#235 posted by gb on 2010/06/25 13:36:47

and yeah, Quakespasm is a very good engine. Promising.

...

#236 posted by Baker on 2010/06/25 13:48:39

I love FitzQuake 0.85 too of course, and I'd love to see command line history in there as well but I know the Quakespasm guys seem likely to make updates in the near future and I have an OS X machine.

Yeah

#237 posted by SleepwalkR on 2010/06/25 14:05:44

What's wrong with the SDL driver, I thought it was working now that the port issue was fixed?

#238 posted by stevenaaus on 2010/06/25 15:37:03

The "-dedicated" feature wasn't working. Oz says the SDL_net driver .. is .. kaput for servers, though i havent looked at it.

Thanks for the feature Baker. I cut the code from your tute and added it to svn. _Seems_ to work ok :>

Contributions

#239 posted by SleepwalkR on 2010/08/01 12:40:21

Guys, do you accept contributions, if so, do you prefer patches or are you willing to shell out SVN access? Also I'd like to include the sparkle framework in the OS X binary so that it can self-update, that would require putting an XML file somewhere on the QS website.

#240 posted by stevenaaus on 2010/08/02 14:17:37

Sounds fine. If you have a sourceforge account, you're welcome to svn and html access.. till you bork something anyway ;>

Cool

#241 posted by SleepwalkR on 2010/08/02 15:26:26

My sourceforge account name is kristianduske - do you need anything else from me? I haven't used SF in a couple of years, so I don't know whether I have to apply or you simply add me.

Argh

#242 posted by than on 2010/10/27 20:12:51

yes, I could just run windows Fitz, but I want to try this in ubunutu (10.10). However, I have no idea how to install and run it. If someone could tell me what I am doing wrong I would be very happy.

1. extract the fitzquake file from the linux executable on Sleep's homepage into my Quake directory.
2. double click or right click and select "open" the fitzquake file.

If I do this, I just get an error telling me there is no viewer for this type of file. This is puzzling because the file is listed as an executable in the file explorer in Ubuntu.

What do I need to do to run this thing? Can someone help? I'm going to try running it from the terminal, but I will probably fail :(

#243 posted by negke on 2010/10/27 20:21:11

My guess is you don't have the SDL dependencies on your system. Use Synaptic to install them (SDL and SDLnet). Running from the terminal might at least give you a warning message.

#244 posted by Spirit on 2010/10/27 21:11:03

The terminal is your friend. Take some to familiarise yourself with the basics. It will allow you to use the computer to its full potential. As negke said, the chance that you will get a proper error message is much better.

The file might not be executable even though ubuntu says so, I guess, don't really like ubuntu, it tries too hard to be user friendly and sacrifices the chance understanding the technical details. So rightclick the executable and make sure there is a checkbox that "allows the file to be run as executable".

I suggest you try quakespasm though. It is based on fitz 085 while sleepwalkr's is 080 which is quite outdated.
