Can Any One Run This Map For Feedback?
#31806 posted by thefpsdestroyer.bsp on 2021/01/24 13:50:07
Yesterday some /vr/-tard came up with a Darkplaces-only Quake map that supposedly fries most non-NASA computers, mine simply crashes to desktop upon trying to load it since its an old POS. Anyone willing to provide footage of it? DL link:

I couldn't get it to run on Darkplaces, but I did on QSS (at 3FPS with protocol FTE999, "0FPS" with protocol 666). Mark V, vkQuake and QuakeSpasm all give the same error:
Host_Error: SZ_GetSpace: overflow without allowoverflow set
As for the actual map, it's just 8064 grunts and 32 torches in a big room; nothing interesting, although it seems like QSS can't render all of them at once, so about 1/3 of them are invisible. Using notarget to prevent them from attacking me, I get about 30FPS with them on screen.

Sorry for bothering then, I hoped its something decent design-wise and the 'pushing all of the engine limitations' bit in description made me think of something on like "nuts.wad - but for quake" - thanks for screengrabs though

Quaketastic Issue With Chrome
I'm assuming this is just Chrome but any links to Quaketastic will not open by default in Chrome. I need to "Open in a New Tab" to download anything.
Not sure there's anything that can be done. (No, I'm not using a different browser.) But figured I'd bring it up.
It's a problem with opening download links to HTTP websites from a HTTPS website.

Quaketastic moving to HTTPS would solve this problem.

I just tried it, I get the same issue. I hadn't noticed before today because I rarely use chrome.

I‘ll Look Into Moving It To Https

I've put the latest DirectFitz source here:
https://github.com/mhQuake/DirectFitz
There are probably other copies of it kicking around the internet, but this is the most recent one I have and it may or may not contain stuff that's not been publicly released before. Including some of the rants I used to do in comments :)

I often suspect that a lot of the differences between the 2 APIs were down to bloody-mindedness more than anything else. The designers deliberately doing things the opposite way to put people's noses out of joint and try start a good entertaining fight.

to see which jams I lost this week and would not enter anyway because it's AD and AD is too complicated or wouldn't finish the map anyway.

Some Suggestions For Adib
Personally, I'd love to see jams for:
Rubicon anniversary pack
Scourge of Armagon tribute
Expansive base map pack
Some underused texture pack map set
Just some thoughts if you're interested. :)
