WinQuake doesn't fall under this exception since its quit menu is also a credits screen containing copyright information. All I did was move this credits screen to the initialization and add a second one for Makaqu.

Re: Makaqu 1.3

I'll take a look at the status bar scoreboard. I guess it's been a couple years since I played a dm game in Makaqu...

It's funny that you mentioned the additive sky blending, because I had done this for Fightoon (hard coded, no cvar) and reverted it for Makaqu 1.3. There's actually a handful of interesting blending effects that would work well in different situations, and it would be interesting to implement a way to select between different blend maps not only for the sky but also for the other parts of the renderer that uses blending effects (liquids, sprites, alias models, console background, etc.).

Personally I'd like to replace EF_ADDITIVE with a string field called .r_blendmap and a float field called .r_blendintensity, and EF_CELSHADING with a float field called .r_shading (.r_shading would also replace EF_FULLBRIGHT and the metallic shading whose EF_ name I don't remember right now) and another called .r_outline (which could probably be replaced with a .r_wireframe), but I don't see the point in making all these standards for an obscure engine such as Makaqu.

By the way, I just remembered that Makaqu supports multiple sky textures in the same map (normal Quake engines always uses the same sky texture on all sky surfaces). And Makaqu 1.3 can display skyboxes in maps without sky surfaces (the skyboxes replaces the void, noclip out of a map to see).

Well, enough rambling. Currently I'm kinda busy working in a Java dancing game, but when I get enough free time I'll work on Makaqu 1.4, which should be the last release.

I've spent some hours looking through the DC controller code over and over and couldn't find anything wrong with it. The only real reason for me to release a new version is to get the x-axis bug fixed, so don't expect anything soon. I'm extremely busy this year.

I tried makaqu 1.3 today and I couldn't control the view/look with the analog stick. Is this the way it is? Is there any way to enable the analog stick to control where you look? Do I need a dreamcast mouse?

Re: Makaqu 1.4 alpha

Post by mankrip »

New version released, but it's an alpha; Dreamcast binaries are untested.

Its documentation hasn't been updated, so the best place to check for what's changed in it is the blog.

Be sure to check the "Customize controls" menu to see if all axes are properly assigned.

Also, in the version 1.3 there was a bug in the X axis of the analog stick, which has been fixed now.

Excellent news. Thank you, Manoel. I'll be giving the Dreamcast binary a go as soon as possible!

EDIT : I'm getting to a mod menu in which I can select a display resolution, but from here the game goes to a black screen for a couple of seconds before displaying the Dreamcast logo. I've tried every possible resolution.

Re: Makaqu 1.4 alpha

Makaqu 1.4 alpha won't even boot up the original quake files, it bogs out as soon as you select the ID1 folder, 1.3 has that -X axis bug, wants to play :( asides from that all great lol

Nice sexy highres

P.S. if it helps in the slightest NullDC will give the error.....

not implemented opcode : 0 : unknown opcode @ 83001000

then at
83001002
83001004
83001006
......
it just keeps going on like that (see attachment)

on actual hardware it just reboots

More of a bug report rather than a moan, it's nice to see some activity on the olde Dreamcast :D

EDIT:- will play round with 1.2 for now and look forward to the next update and will be more than willing to test things out, providing I still have the spare time/CD-R's by then, it's been a while (4 years apx) since I got involved in any project, about as long as I lacked internet ;)

EDIT:- Just another point for 1.3 it has no support for path names with spaces in it, e.g. had to rename "Dissolution of Eternity" to "Dissolution_of_Eternity", just a limitation to point out for other wanting to play test, not sure if there are any other naming limits, there most likley is, there is anyway on CD's in general

I haven't been able to test it on the Dreamcast yet, but should be in over a month. I haven't actually verified all changes to make sure that they'd not introduce bugs in the DC version, so there were chances that it would not work.

Makaqu's modlist is very primitive. I'd like to make a portable one that would also work in the Windows version, but it's not a priority.

The X-axis bug in version 1.3 is actually a menu bug, it can be fixed by correcting the size of a certain array in menu.c.

In over a month I should start working on the version 1.5, which should end up being more stable.
