1 DarkPlaces engine readme : updated 20070311:
\r
3 About the DarkPlaces glquake engine:
\r
4 DarkPlaces engine was started because I was unsatisfied with the other engines available soon after the quake source release (which did little more than add some flashy effects), and craved modding features for my DarkPlaces mod, and wanted some real enhancements to the online gaming experience as well.
\r
6 DarkPlaces engine is the result, I hope everyone likes it.
\r
8 I am not very good at writing documentation, so this readme is organized as a feature list, with information on each feature, I hope it is still adequate documentation.
\r
10 If you have any suggestions for features to document in detail in the readme or any other questions/comments/bugreports/suggestions/etc, send me an email with the address lordhavoc ghdigital com (add @ and . characters as appropriate)
\r
16 If mouse movement is jerky but framerate is high, try typing "gl_finish 1" (without quotes) into the console (makes cpu wait for gpu before ending frame, which gives lousy input drivers a chance to catch up).
\r
21 Visit the Color Control submenu of Options, it's near the top, fiddle with gamma (or grey level if using the color levels mode) until the grey box surrounding the white/black dither pattern matches up with the grey you see while looking at the dither from a distance, this will calibrate quake to look approximately as id Software intended, and ensure everyone sees it the same. Note: Different resolutions may be different intensities depending on monitor. Note2: ATI Radeon Catalyst 3.10 drivers seem to have a weird gamma limiting 'feature' which rejects gamma settings it doesn't like, feel free to complain to ATI about this if it gets in your way (it probably will).
\r
23 Visit the Effects Options submenu of Options, and check out the options.
\r
28 Visit the Player Setup submenu of the Multiplayer menu to configure your network speed (as well as the usual settings from quake like name and colors).
\r
30 To host a server behind a router/firewall, simply set up a port forward on the UDP port you are running the server on (default is 26000), to forward incoming UDP packets on that port to the server, then people can connect.
\r
32 To make your server show up on the server browser (in the Join Game menu), either set sv_public 1 in the console, or use the multiplayer new game menu and check the Public server checkbox.

\r
130 .ent file replacement allows you to modify sky and fog settings on a per-map basis (use sv_saveentfile command in singleplayer and then edit the worldspawn entity in a text editor, for example setting "sky" "mtnsun_" to load the skybox mtnsun_ in your favorite maps, or "fog" "0.03 0.2 0.2 0.2" to put fog in the level)
\r
131 Switchable bindmaps (in_bind command allows you to bind keys in one of 8 bindmaps, 0-7, in_bindmap command allows you to select two active bindmaps to use at once, ones missing in the first are checked in the second)

(WARNING: HUGE files, make sure you have several gigabytes of disk space available! and it is only recommended during demo playback! You will probably want to reencode these videos using VirtualDub, mencoder, or other utilities before posting them on a website)
\r
149 ping display in scoreboard, even on Quake servers (on DarkPlaces servers it also shows packet loss)
\r
154 Allows clients to connect through firewalls (automatic feature)
\r
155 Works behind firewalls unlike NetQuake (must port forward UDP packets on the relevant port from the firewall to the server, as with any game)

\r
172 prvm_edictset, prvm_global, prvm_globals, and prvm_globalset commands aid in QuakeC debugging
\r
173 prvm_printfunction function prints out the QuakeC assembly opcodes of a function, can be useful if you can't decompile the progs.dat file
\r
174 prvm_profile command gives call count and estimated builtin-function cost
\r
175 sys_colortranslation cvar controls processing of Quake3-style ^ color codes in terminal output, default is white text on windows and ANSI color output on Linux/Mac OSX
\r
176 sys_specialcharactertranslation controls processing of special Quake characters to make colored names more readable in terminal output
\r
181 HalfLife map support (place your HalfLife wads in quake/id1/textures/ or quake/MODDIR/textures/ as the maps need them)
\r

\r
185 Q2 and Q3 model support, with greatly increased limits (256 skins, 65536 frames, 65536 vertices, 65536 triangles). (Note: md2 player models are not supported because they have no skin list)
\r
186 Optimized QuakeC interpreter so mods run faster.
\r
187 Bounds checking QuakeC interpreter so mods can't do naughty things with memory.
\r
188 Warnings for many common QuakeC errors.

\r
191 Fog ("fog" key in worldspawn, same parameters as fog command).
\r
192 .spr32 and halflife .spr sprites supported. (Use Krimzon's tool to make spr32, and lhfire can render directly to spr32, or just use replacement textures on .spr).
\r
193 Skybox ("sky" key in worldspawn, works like loadsky and quake2).
\r
194 Stereo wav sounds supported.
\r
195 Ogg Vorbis sounds supported. (Thanks Elric)
\r

\r
198 r_texturestats and memstats and memlist commands to give memory use info.
\r
199 Lighting on sprites (put ! anywhere in sprite filename to enable).
\r
200 More r_speeds info (now a transparent overlay instead of spewing to console).
\r
201 Supports rotating bmodels (use avelocity, and keep in mind the bmodel needs the "origin" key set to rotate (read up on hipnotic rotation support in your qbsp docs, or choose another qbsp if yours does not support this feature), or in q3 maps an origin brush works).
\r
202 More sound channels.
\r
203 More dynamic lights (32 changed to 256).
\r
204 More precached models and sounds (256 changed to 4096).
\r
205 Many more features documented in dpextensions.qc. (bullet tracing on models, qc player input, etc)
\r
210 Formats supported: tga (recommended), png (loads very slowly), jpg (loads slowly), pcx, wal, lmp
\r
212 Usually you want to put replacement content in either id1/ or another directory such as pretty/ inside your quake directory, in DarkPlaces you can run multiple -game options at once (such as -game ctf -game pretty -game dpmod to have texture overrides from pretty, maps from ctf, and gameplay from dpmod) or multiple gamedirs specified with the gamedir console command (gamedir ctf pretty dpmod).
\r
214 All texture layers are optional except diffuse (the others are NOT loaded without it)
\r
217 progs/player.mdl_0.tga - diffuse
\r
218 progs/player.mdl_0_norm.tga - normalmap (can have alpha channel with bumpmap height for offsetmapping/reliefmapping)
\r
219 progs/player.mdl_0_bump.tga - bumpmap (not loaded if normalmap is present)
\r
220 progs/player.mdl_0_glow.tga - glow map (use _luma if tenebrae compatibility is a concern)
\r
221 progs/player.mdl_0_luma.tga - alternate tenebrae-compatible name for glow map (use one or the other)
\r
222 progs/player.mdl_0_pants.tga - pants image, greyscale and does not cover the same pixels as the diffuse texture (this is additive blended ('Screen' mode in photoshop) ontop of the diffuse texture with a color tint according to your pants color)
\r
223 progs/player.mdl_0_shirt.tga - shirt image, same type as pants
\r
225 Replacing textures in specific maps:
\r
226 textures/e1m1/ecop1_6.tga
\r
227 textures/e1m1/ecop1_6_norm.tga
\r
228 textures/e1m1/ecop1_6_bump.tga
\r
229 textures/e1m1/ecop1_6_glow.tga
\r
230 textures/e1m1/ecop1_6_luma.tga
\r
231 textures/e1m1/ecop1_6_pants.tga - pants and shirt layers are possible on bmodel entities with quakec modifications to set their .colormap field
\r
232 textures/e1m1/ecop1_6_shirt.tga
\r
234 Replacing textures in all maps:
\r
236 textures/quake_norm.tga
\r
237 textures/quake_bump.tga
\r
238 textures/quake_glow.tga
\r
239 textures/quake_luma.tga
\r
240 textures/quake_pants.tga
\r
241 textures/quake_shirt.tga
\r
243 Replacing hud and menu pictures:
\r
247 same as in Quake, you can replace a model with exactly the same file name (including file extension), so for example an md3 player model has to be renamed progs/player.mdl, and a small box of shells in md3 format has to be renamed maps/b_shell0.bsp
\r
249 How to make .skin files for multiple skins on a Quake3 (md3) or DarkPlacesModel (dpm) model:
\r
250 These files use the same format as the ones in Quake3 (except being named modelname_0.skin, modelname_1.skin, and so on), they specify what texture to use on each part of the md3 (or zym or dpm or psk) model, their contents look like the following...
\r
251 torso,progs/player_default.tga says that the model part named "torso" should use the image progs/player_default.tga
\r
252 gun,progs/player_default.tga says that the model part named "gun" should use the image progs/player_default.tga
\r
253 muzzleflash,progs/player_default_muzzleflash.tga says that the model part named "muzzleflash" should use the image progs/player_default_muzzleflash.tga - this is useful for transparent skin areas which should be kept separate from opaque skins
\r
254 tag_head, says that the first tag is named "tag_head" - this is only useful for QuakeC mods using segmented player models so that they can look up/down without their legs rotating, don't worry about it as a user
\r
255 tag_torso, second tag name
\r
256 tag_weapon, third tag name
\r
258 Example list of filenames:
\r
259 quake/id1/progs/player.mdl replaces the player model)
\r
260 quake/id1/progs/player.mdl_0.skin text file that specifies textures to use on an md3 model)
\r
261 quake/id1/progs/player_default.tga texture referenced by the .skin, make sure that any special parts of this are black, like pants should be black here otherwise you get pink pants when you use a red color ingame)
\r
262 quake/id1/progs/player_default_pants.tga white pants area of the skin, this is colored by the engine according to your color settings, additive blended (which is called "Screen" mode in Photoshop if you wish to preview the layers))
\r
263 quake/id1/progs/player_default_shirt.tga white shirt area of the skin, similar to pants described above)
\r
264 quake/id1/progs/player_default_norm.tga normalmap texture for player_default, alpha channel can contain a heightmap for offsetmapping (r_glsl_offsetmapping 1 in console) to use, alternatively you can use _bump.tga instead of this which is only a heightmap and the engine will generate the normalmap for you)
\r
265 quake/id1/progs/player_default_gloss.tga glossmap (shiny areas) for player_default)
\r
266 quake/id1/progs/player_default_glow.tga glowmap (glowing stuff) for player_default, this is fullbrights and such, be sure the corresponding pixels are black in the player_default.tga, because just like pants/shirt this is additive blended)
\r
267 quake/id1/textures/quake.tga replaces the quake logo on the arch in start.bsp)
\r
268 quake/id1/textures/quake_norm.tga same as for a player)
\r
269 quake/id1/textures/quake_gloss.tga same as for a player)
\r
270 quake/id1/textures/#water1.tga replaces *water1 texture in the maps, # is used instead of * in filenames)
\r
271 quake/id1/gfx/conchars.tga replacement font image, this was in gfx.wad in quake)
\r
272 quake/id1/gfx/conback.tga replacement console background, just like in quake)
\r
273 quake/id1/gfx/mainmenu.tga replacement main menu image, just like in quake)
\r
274 quake/id1/maps/b_bh25.bsp replacement for normal health pack, for example this could be an md3 model instead)

1256 How to install Quake on Windows:
\r
1257 All that DarkPlaces needs from the Quake CD is pak files (be sure not to copy opengl32.dll from the Quake CD, it will not work with DarkPlaces!), with this in mind, all you need to do is make a Quake directory, extract the darkplaces engine zip to that directory, then make a quake/id1 directory, and put the pak0.pak and pak1.pak from your Quake CD into the quake/id1 directory, then all should be well.
\r
1259 How to deal with a DOS Quake CD on Windows:
\r
1260 Try to use the DOS Quake installer if you can, use DOSBox if necessary to run the installer, then copy the pak0.pak and pak1.pak to your id1 directory in the darkplaces installation. ( http://dosbox.sourceforge.net )
\r
1262 How to deal with a WinQuake CD on Windows:
\r
1263 Copy the D:\Data\id1\pak0.pak and pak1.pak to your id1 directory.
\r
1265 How to deal with a Linux Quake CD on Windows:
\r
1266 Find an archiver (perhaps 7zip or winrar) that can extract files from rpm archives, locate the pak files and copy them to your id1 directory.
\r
1270 How to install Quake on Linux:
\r
1271 All that DarkPlaces needs from the Quake CD is pak files, with this in mind, all you need to do is make a ~/quake directory, extract the darkplaces engine zip to that directory, then make a quake/id1 directory, and put the pak0.pak and pak1.pak from your Quake CD into the quake/id1 directory, then all should be well, you will probably also want to make a ~/bin/darkplaces script containing the following text:
\r
1274 ./darkplaces-sdl $*
\r
1275 Then do chmod +x ~/bin/darkplaces
\r
1277 For more information on Quake installation on Linux see http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Quake-HOWTO.html" (the Linux Quake How To)
\r
1279 How to deal with a DOS Quake CD on Linux:
\r
1280 cat /media/cdrom/resource.001 /media/cdrom/resource.002 >quake.lha
\r
1282 If you can't get unlha or lha for your distribution, try using DOSBox to run the Quake installer.
\r
1284 How to deal with a WinQuake CD on Linux:
\r
1285 Copy the /media/cdrom/data/id1/pak*.pak to your id1 directory.
\r
1287 How to deal with a Linux Quake CD on Linux:
\r
1290 # in the following line replace quake.rpm with a correct rpm filename
\r
1291 cat /media/cdrom/quake.rpm | rpm2cpio | cpio -i
\r
1292 Now you should have a mess of subdirectories, locate the pak files and copy to your id1 directory.
\r
1293 Alternatively if you have an rpm-based distribution you could install the rpm, but it is easier to maintain your ~/quake directory than /usr/share/games/quake so you may want to copy the id1/pak*.pak from there and uninstall the rpm.
\r
1297 How to install Quake on Mac OS X:
\r
1298 All that DarkPlaces needs from the Quake CD is pak files, with this in mind, make a folder named Quake, drag the Darkplaces.app into this Quake folder, make a folder inside the Quake folder (alongside Darkplaces) named id1, and put the pak0.pak and pak1.pak from your Quake CD into the quake/id1 directory, then all should be well, simply run the Darkplaces app
\r
1300 How to deal with a DOS Quake CD on Mac OS X:
\r
1301 Unknown. Linux solution may work if you can get hold of lha, otherwise use DOSBox to run the Quake installer.
\r
1303 How to deal with a WinQuake CD on Mac OS X:
\r
1304 Find the data folder on the cdrom and copy the data/id1/pak*.pak files to your id1 folder.
\r
1306 How to deal with a Linux Quake CD on Mac OS X:
\r
1307 Unknown. If you can get hold of rpm2cpio and cpio you should be able to follow the Linux method.
