and wonderful Festivus to all ye Func_boarders,
and for the atheist amongst us who feel left out this day, a gift to cheer your non existent souls: http://reason.tv/video/show/201.html and btw, what's a good resource to learn about the Quake source? I want to try to port fitzquake to OS X, but first I need to learn a bit about the source and its structure. Any pointers?
Please please please do port it to Linux too. I think it would be quite similar so it would be a shame not to do it in the process.
Combine an album title from Alice Cooper with an album title by Wings and screw with the spelling,
you get klzotr. I gotta be some serious gay just to know that. That's fantastic.
Maybe browsing the sources of Qudos' SDL ports will help you: http://qudos.quakedev.com/linux/quake1/ I once tried but being a programming illiterated I gave up next second. He changed some other things too though, so the difference between windows source and port is not only the porting. :} http://www.libsdl.org/projects/quake/ should help big time. Other links you probably already know: http://qer.planetquake.gamespy.com http://www.gamers.org/dEngine/quake/ PS: I did not meant not to give you those links earlier, I was accessing func from a different PC. Daz' game reviews in Other PC Games reminded me of the 'borked review scale' discussion: 5 games, scale from 0/1 to 5, worst game rates 3.5 ;)
Im trying to download Rygels massive uberiffic replacement texture pack from the shub-hub, and ive downloaded "rygel-dp-texturepack ultra.pk3.part1.rar"
(ive replaced one of the hyphens with a space so it's shown in its entirety^^) How the hell do you open this file? Or if I downloaded the other two bits (of three) it seems almost as if I'd be supposed to stick them all together? 7zip is what I'm using, and when I try to extract the above file, it churns away for about 2-3 mins, as if decompressing the files, and then gives an error message :-( You need all three then 7zip will automatically do it properly.
Just download one of the smaller ones, they also run much faster and look only marginally "worse". These textures are really a matter of taste anyways. Earlier today I stumbled across http://eerie.anarxi.st/sourcequake/
based on: Original Win/GL(Quake|QuakeWorld) source code by John Carmack http://www.idsoftware.com/ Enhanced Win/GLQuake by Bengt Jardrup http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k Excellent FitzQuake by John Fitzgibbons http://www.celephais.net/fitzquake/ primary goal of this project: create fast and stable developers/mappers engine with fixing lots GL rendering bugs all in one. While I did not succeed building it on Linux it might help you. do any of you guys know what (besides bad memory or busted HDDs) can cause seemingly random lockups (no STOP screen, no restart, just the sound loops and nothing responds)?
nothing appears in the event log so i can't track it down, and i've done a memory test with memtest86 and checked all my disks and nothing has turned up. Thanks, but purely for my own education, I'll implement the SDL parts from scratch. Maybe I'll look at other ports afterwards to optimize things.
the last time, it turned out my BIOS was corrupted, I would recommend checking with the manufacturer (visit to the website should suffice, if its the case). I discovered the BIOS that came stock on my system was one that was outdated and never intended for my rig.
Apart from bad memory, the other most likely cause of seemingly random crashes and stuff is probably the power supply.
Have you recently added any hardware? Is this a new machine, or just a new problem on an old machine?
