Slip & Frag, the sourceport of Quake for VR and desktop PCs, has been updated to version 1.1.35 .
Primarily a maintenance release, it however contains a couple of fixes that improve stability and performance significantly in the VR versions:
* Lightmaps are now generated directly on the renderer component of the app, skipping long data transfers from the core engine, thus reducing memory usage and improving performance;
* Alias & viewmodels are now pre-sorted before sending them to the GPU, minimizing the amount of draw calls sent to it, also improving performance.
Also, a few fixes were included (including one with entities that do not have a null terminator in its name, which crashed the app in at least one map).
Go get your update at SideQuest ( https://sidequestvr.com/app/28180/slip-frag ) or jump directly to GitHub ( https://github.com/Izhido/SlipNFrag/releases ) and start playing! Remember, any feedback (good or bad) is welcome - just file an Issue in GitHub, participate on Discussions in there, or even post a review in SideQuest. | |

I picked map-making back up during the 2020 lockdowns, setting a massive challenge to translate a real-world historic ruin into Quake.
The castle in question is Newbury, Berkshire’s historic Donnington Castle ruins. The castle was a major strategic stronghold during the English Civil War, where it endured a brutal 20-month siege before finally surrendering to Parliamentarian forces in 1646. Today, only the striking twin-towered gatehouse remains standing as a protected ruin under the care of English Heritage.
Life threw just about everything at me during its lifespan - two career changes, a new kid, and surviving a bilateral pulmonary embolism and a CVST stroke. But sticking with the geometry and obsessing over retro engine constraints kept me grounded.
Whether you're a history nerd, an old-school mapper, or just a fan of stubborn passion projects, I'd love for the community to give it a run and give feedback on the brushwork or lighting.

A QuakeWorld client for the 30th anniversary of Quake.
The goal is to stay compatible and fully playable in competitive QW without dropping the classic look and feel.
