I haven't benchmarked the game comparing GCC versions but I haven't seen any gross slowdown. You can still upgrade to 2.05 and keep the older GCC I believe. In any case, at one point the ogg vorbis libs were still the GCC 2.9.5 versions and it worked fine in q2dos so compiling your custom mods may …

There are other issues, but I didn't want to distract you from your core work. Well, I'm about where I want to be with the project except for the few ASM issues and the Whale's WOD X mysterious crash. There's no plans for super extended protocols as I'm no ASM whiz and I'm not interested in badass …

When you find these sorts of issues they really need to be reported to us. I've personally played through the game many times with this configuration and haven't seen any kind of weird precision errors. But if you are seeing them we need to know so they can be addressed.

I don't know if it's specifically an error and what kind of graphical disruption is it causing? We need comparision screenshots and bug reports.

I'm not adding extra bot stuff to known good game code. However, you can become a maintainer of a particular game DXE and host it on bitbucket/github/etc.

Please do not just blindly delete DXE_EXPORTs, source files and entire functions. It just means that there's a few ifdefs we forgot and the makefile needs slightly readjusted to not include them. The two mystery DXE_EXPORTs are probably from DDay. But I can't remember specifically which ones. Each …

To be honest I haven't seen what it does to 1280x1024 (I lack a 5:4 monitor to tell anymore)... but should be fine for the rest of the 4:3's. I'll test 1280x1024 shortly as I'm a nut who still uses 21" CRTs. I usually use 1600x1200 but if the font is too small I might drop down to 1280x1024. The …

I forgot to mention you're totally free to include that aspect stuff in this post to the tree (merged with that KM 1280x1024 bit), i'm not signing up to another repository site to do it. :) (or at least I can't figure out how to do it from Github) Does this code work for all resolutions? If so, …

I'm using 2.05 with gcc 4.84 and it seems to work ok. I placed the array inside the function (which is where it was supposed to be anyways)

I just pushed a fix to block starting a server without deathmatch being set for d-day. There's also a static vs6 project file for convenience.

I already have a static compile. There are types of entities that won't spawn because of deathmatch being set and it crashes the game. It's hard to find a fix from within the game engine because it goes to the binary for spawning the server.

also the game tends to default ntro+base1 if you run "game" "mod" from console as opposed to q2.exe +set game

Also a quick and dirty hack would be checking the init routine for the mod in g_save.c (I think this is where it is) and if deathmatch is set to 0 then error out.
