QuakeSpasm

QuakeSpasm is an engine for iD software's popular Quake game. It includes a great customised console graphic, a tweaked status bar and command-line auto complete, several serious bug-fixes, and on-the-fly video mode changing.

Technically, it runs natively on 64 bit CPUs, and - being based on SDL FitzQuake - supports all the new mods and most operating systems.

What is new in this release:

• More work for string buffer safety
• Reverted v0.85.5 change of not allowing deathmatch and coop cvars to be set at the same time (was reported for possibility of causing compatibility issues with mods)
• Several cleanups/changes in the cvar layer
• Minor SDL video fixes.

What is new in version 0.85.5:

• SDL input driver updated, adding native keymap and dead key support to the console
• Fixed a crash in net play in maps with extended limits
• Verified successful compilation using gcc-4.6.x
• Added workaround against GL texture flicker (z fighting), controlled by new cvar 'gl_zfix'
• Read video variables early so that a vid_restart isn't necessary after init
• mlook and lookspring fixes
• Added support for loading external entity files, controlled by new cvar 'external_ents'
• Made mp3 playback to allocate system memory instead of zone
• Some updates to the progs interpreter code
• Fixed r_nolerp_list parsing code of fitzquake
• Made sure that deathmatch and coop are not set at the same time
• Several code updates from uHexen2 project, several code cleanups.

What is new in version 0.85.4:

• Implemented music (OGG, MP3, WAV) playback

• Added support for mouse buttons 4 and 5
• Fixed the "unalias" console command
• Restored the "screen size" menu item
• Fixed an erroneous protocol check in the server code
• Raised the default zone memory size to 384 kb
• Raised the default max_edicts from 1024 to 2048
• Revised lit file loading: the lit file must be from the same game directory as the map itself or from a searchpath with a higher priority
• Bumped array size of sv_main.c::localmodels from 5 to 6 fixing an old fitzquake-0.85 bug which used to cause segfaults depending on the compiler
• Fixed rest of the compiler warnings
• Other minor sound and cdaudio updates
• Other, mostly user-invisible changes

• Add a slider for status bar transparency, now marginally transparent by default
• Fix player messaging in a few places
