Quakespasm Engine
This engine needs its own thread.

Feedback: I like the OS X version, but I have to start it from the terminal for it to work and can't just double-click it like a traditional OS X app. I'm sure you guys already know this, either way great engine.

You should read this: https://partner.steamgames.com/steamdirect

But then also ask the question: are there people who are going to pay for a Quake map/mod in 2018?

Probably not. 
 
It's not about the engine, but the vibe (Thirty Flights of Loving, DUSK...)

Thank you for the link. 
 
In the mapping help thread, you asked about WAD3 (Half Life 1 texture format).

FTE is the engine used in the first link I gave you (to the best of my knowledge) and it supports the Half Life 1 map format, which is like basically Quake map format except for the texture format is different which is why J.A.C.K. can easily do both Quake and Half-Life 1 maps.

I mention that because you referenced something with tons of color, and it is basically impossible in Quake because of the color count restrictions. 
 
I stick with Quakespasm. Quake palette haven't much "blue" colors, right. I haven't yet looked into customizing palette.lmp

Do ya know PixaTool ? 
 
Is there any way to smooth out jerky monster movement while they ride platforms or elevators? 
Suggestion: Autocomplete On Load Game 
I tend to store a ton of savegames with crazy names. I really like how the "map" command has auto-complete on the mapname.

Might it be possible to do a similar autocomplete on the "load" command for the savegame names? 
 
just a brainfart, not terribly important of course 
QSS Frame-rate Fix? 
Are there plans to add Spike's frame-rate/physics fix to QS any time soon?

I'm just curious as I've found that it has fixed my issue with intermittent stuttering on my 144Hz monitor. :) 
Yes 
QS has been on the backburner for me, but when I get back to it that is something I want to add. 
Great Stuff! 
It's kinda surprising that Spike's 'little' breakthrough hasn't caused a bit more excitement. I suppose that's to be expected in such a small community. :) 
 
that and that anyone who actually cared already had a choice of other engines that already had fixes for it. 
 
I implemented compute shader water warp (one pass) in vkQuake. Feel free to steal it, can easily be translated to a fragment shader with a triangle over the texture. 
 
I have troubles running "Eargasm" mod for Quakespasm. It seems the engine doesn't accept the new wav files, at least some of them.
For instance :

guncock.wav is played in the engine, but it seems to be filtered/emulated in 11025hz/8bit.

buzz1.wav isn't played at all (I've checked with the command "snd_show 1", the engine doesn't play the sound at all).

I tried x86 and x64 Quakespasm.
I tried to re-encode the files using different wav format settings.

Latest Quakespasm update : 20th Nov 2017.
Eargasm was released on 16th Dec 2017.
Would it be possible to make an update ?

says it all. 
 
Suggestion: Add option to disable auto weapon switch on pickup

That's the realm of QuakeC, and not something that can be done in engine without the hideousest of hacklets.

Not sure if this helps but all non-music sounds must be mono in Quakespasm. Maybe there are some stereo files in that pack designed for use with other less compatible Quake engines. 
Really? 
That explains why some of my sounds from a few mods fail in game. 
@qmaster 
As far as my tests this is the case with QS. I don't have a PC at work today so I can't confirm. But as I see in the DP docs stereo support is mentioned. "Stereo sound file support (useful for cd tracks)" I'm assuming that this was added, some mods were created with stereo files that break compatibility with Fitz variants. Which mods are messed up? I'd like to pursue this further and if you want I can mix the tracks down to mono for you. 
@qmaster 
I read a bit further in the docs and I am right -- DP added stereo sound playback for mods. 
 
stuff like this is why I made QSS convert stereo to mono on load.

also, change sndspeed to anything other than 11025 and that will disable quakespasm's low-quality filter. 
I'll Have To Check 
To save myself the headache of changing precache file paths in the qc when merging in from mods, I kept the files in the same folders.

This had the drawbacks of not being able to tell which files came from which mods as well has name conflicts.

So...might be a while before I can tidy up and get a comprehensive list to find those again. 
@qmaster 
Don't sweat it. I can peruse the files and check on my end if they are included in keep.
