 Posted: Sun May 04, 2003 12:13 am Post subject: FuhQuake v0.28 (Build 425) Out Now!! |
 |
|
FuhQuake v0.28 has finally been released. It has many new things to offer, most for GL and linux users. The biggest new features are:
- Saving/loading single player game support.
- Complete skybox support is now available.
- FPS speedups for GL clients (especially linux GLX).
- XMMS support for linux clients.
- New pyro flame and emp effects for teamfortress.
A complete changelog for v0.28 can be found here.
Download FuhQuake v0.28 (4mb):
If you have a previous installation of FuhQuake then you should just download the 4mb zips above and unzip them into your quake directory.
If you don't have a previous installation of FuhQuake or want to freshen up your 24bit map textures, then you should install the FuhQuake v0.27 installer first and then unzip the v0.28 files over the top. Further instructions can be found at the installer page.
Skybox Instructions:
Download skyboxes from the links section and unzip them into qw/env . You then use the "loadsky" command within FuhQuake to load a skybox (eg "loadsky snow2" or "loadsky mars2"). "loadsky none" will unload the current skybox and restore the old quake 1 style skies. You need to look in your qw/env folder to see what skyboxes are available to you.
Important: There is a somewhat serious bug in that -ruleset smackdown enforces gl_keepjunctions to 0 instead of 1. 'gl_keepjunctions 0' gives more fps but shows some fullbright pixels through walls in certain parts of some maps which is cheaty (well every glqw client has it so it's not like you are getting an advantage from FuhQuake). I will remove the variable all together in an update to be released very soon.

would be useful to have something like 'skyboxes.cfg' or something where u can add a mapname and the assosciated skybox you want auto-loaded for each map
actually i guess this can be done with current fuh scripting |

Can someone post a skybox.cfg, for the standard id sp and dm maps?
I don't want to experiment testing which sky looks best with each map. I assume someone has already done that.
I also assume we can put the skies in "fuhquake/env"? |

alias f_newmap "if $mapname = dm3 then dm3tp else nd"
alias dm3tp "exec ../dm3-tpbinds.cfg"
alias nd ""

anger: ta certo sim mas vc num precisa usar esse 'nd'
| Code: |
alias f_newmap "if $mapname = dm3 then dm3tp"
alias dm3tp "exec ../dm3-tpbinds.cfg" |
soh isso basta, vc pode fazer akela 'corrente' q eu botei antes, pra ler as cfg's de cada mapa

Holy crap that's amazingly convoluted.  I don't mean that in a rude way, of course, it's clever trick, but perhaps it's time for a more general and flexible scripting language that can sit along side the console is in order.
Lua anyone? That would probably be one hell of a project to integrate it into the client, but imagine the freedom.

alias f_newmap "exec $mapname.cfg"
Do we still need r_skybox if we have loadsky? |

i was thinking for the sky boxes maybe have a file in the textures directory that fq looks for just like textures, but its a simple txt file with loadsky name
the order for looking is
qw/textures/mapname/
qw/textures/
this would save having to make massive if scripts for every single map, and allows texture packs to tell fq which skybox to load, should be simple enough to do me thinks, but then again i dont know where to start. |

yeh that's right, but use loadsky because I am going to rename r_skybox to r_skyname some day.

|

there's just one tiny problem... somehow my fuhquake doesnt seem to like 512*512 pixel textures and quite a few of the skybox images is that resolution... dunno if its an error in the engine or 'someone' just forgot to downsize the images...
anyways just wanted to let you know...
ps. i love you fuh! |

yep thats right, they are restricted to 256x256 for now. So you need to rescale some images.
I'll add support for other sizes in the future. |

Ok I have a friend who has a radeon 8500 and is an expert on them.
[03:59PM] (fuh): what is your video card exactly
[03:59PM] (fuh): + vendor
[04:00PM] (fuh): + driver versions
[04:00PM] (fuh): + linkto the drivers you use
[04:00PM] (fuh): please
[04:05PM] (darkangel): gigabyte radeon 8500 64mb catalyst 3.1
[04:06PM] (darkangel): http://pdownload.mii.instacontent.net/ati/drivers/wxp-w2k-radeon-7-84-030228a1-008040c-efg.exe
[04:06PM] (fuh): ok
[04:06PM] (darkangel): http://pdownload.mii.instacontent.net/ati/drivers/control-panel-7-84-030228a1-008040c-efg.exe
[04:13PM] (darkangel): catalyst 3.2 is shit
[04:13PM] (darkangel): and takes 15 fps off opengl games for me
try using his drivers, see if it helps.
he has an xp1800 cpu, and his timerefresh at 1280x960x32 on 2fort5r bridge with 16xx anisotropic is 174 with 0.28 and 137 with 0.27. And he even had skyboxes on in 0.28 and fastsky on in 0.27, the speed difference is even more.

enforcing gl_keepjunctions to 1 when using -ruleset smackdown, fair enough
but sif remove it for non tourney play |

what is the need to keep it? Is the fps boost really that significant/necessary? I only get a small fps increase, nothing that threates getting below 77.
