It would be extremely cool if Vitaquake could support both Overbrights and Fullbrights, which are used in Quake level data.

These are two features supported by vanilla software Quake and several Quake GL ports (Fitzquake and a few others), but not originally supported by vanilla GLQuake:

• Overbrights: This causes highlights to show up even in bright rooms (light value can go to 200%).

Overbrights off:

Overbrights on:

• Fullbrights: some texture colors should appear at full brightness even in the shadow (switches, red arrows, lamps etc.)

Moving or aiming diagonally is faster than in a cardinal direction. The input needs to be linear for the whole circle of motion.

Whenever you start a new game for the first time, everything works flawlessly.
However, if you try another time to start a new game, it gives the following message:

Are you sure to start a new game?

No button can be pressed, meaning all you can do is to restart vitaQuake.

EDIT: Also reported by Hoshi:

danzeff keyboard doesnt startup when you want to change a nick

The engine currently defaults to "gl_texturemode gl_linear" for the texture mode, however some people (myself included) like the crunchy look of "gl_texturemode gl_nearest". Maybe a quick toggle to choose between "linear" and "nearest" could be implemented in the options menu? I would try adding it to the menu.c file myself, but I don't know much about doing so and I wouldn't want to mess anything up...

I'm trying to load a frikbot mod and also Beyond Belief to try out but all I get is a crash.

I have the problem that my Vita with your homebrews shows nothing as bubble even if I tap on the bubble is just a blank picture and then I can start

how do i get pictures in the empty fields?
I find nothing under ur: appmeta

I would like to use my pictures and change the Title id

i use the google translator -.-

Setting it to "0" to get lightmaps dynamic lights results in no dynamic lights at all.
Setting it to "1" causes no "bubble lights" too.
That bug got introduced with the recent .lit lights support.

Okay, I have no idea how to compile this to ".VPK" format on windows for use with HENkaku.
Using ProQuake in VHBL is plain too slow. Whilst using vitaQuake 1.3 the performance is more or less the same.
So I was wondering whether you could create a separate build with the video resolution scaled down to 480x272 in vid_psp2.c and a reduced audio sample rate in snd_psp2.c.
If you could do that much would be appreciated.

Steps to reproduce:

• Install vitaquake VPK via molecularShell
• Place PAK0.PAK and PAK1.PAK from current retail release (downloaded via Steam) in ux0:
• Start game

Results in a black screen. Pressing START results in:

An error has occurred in the following application.
(C2-12828-1)

Log file says:
W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad
This is using files from the previously working version, tried erasing and reloading them, same issue.

I see the makefile has been modded, however for some reason vpk's no longer pack correctly due to forward slash being changed for backslash in the paths.

Example:

This builds correctly
7z a -tzip ./$(TARGET).vpk -r ./build/sce_sys/* ./build/eboot.bin ./build/shaders/*

This doesn't
7z a -tzip ./$(TARGET).vpk -r .\build\sce_sys* .\build\eboot.bin .\build\shaders*

Also in linux (ubuntu), this needs changed from:
vita-make-fself -s $< build\eboot.bin

to

vita-make-fself -s $< build/eboot.bin

Or else the eboot file doesn't get put in the build directory - a file called buildeboot.bin gets created instead.

This is an enhancement.

Observed behavior: When moving the right analog stick at any sensitivity, the aim either moves quite fast or not at all. The deadzone is also quite large. It is impossible to move the camera very slowly, even when moving the stick only by a very small amount across the deadzone.

Expected behavior: When moving the right analog stick just a tiny bit over the deadzone, the aim should move very slowly, at any sensitivity.

I tested the code and a simple reduction of the aim deadzone does not fix this.

I believe this is due to the integer nature of x_cam and y_cam variables in the source that get multiplied by two factors, and one of the factors is 0.008. So the integers jump from 0 (no motion) to 1 (fast motion) at some pretty large stick tilt, and then to higher integers that move the camera even faster. A simple change of x_cam and y_cam from integer to float should fix this issue. The game engine accepts float values.

I made a PR to fix this issue, improve the deadzone by making it radial and scaled instead of axial, and increase the analog joystick range. The PR is here:
#36

At the moment glQuake renderer suffers in certain zones, several things can be done to improve the framerate.
According to some shader performance tests, i can say the biggest bottlenecks came not from them:

• First off, disabling in Options Menu the Dynamic Shadows setting can boost 4-5 FPS. Probably it's better to leave this as disabled as default.
• After some tests with corrupted mipmaps images, it seems like mipmaps are used not for every single entity/world element (Reference: http://rinnegatamante.it/mip.jpg Black strided textures = mipmapped). Finding out why this happens could greatly boost fps.
• glQuake uses several slow arithmetic functions to calculate vertices and similars. There's for example a good amount of sin/cos calls that could be replaced with pre-generated sin/cos values with a lookup table. This could give a great framerate boost.

Using the same .lit package as the previous version, this version no longer loads most maps, eg the Start map among others. See .lit package at The Quake Wiki

When leaving the game open then sleeping the vita, the sound will sometimes begin to crackle and that's basically a sign the game became unstable. Finishing a level, saving, or doing a lot of things at that point will crash the game.
It also seems to affect Wolfenstein.
I can replicate and attach a dump, but I'm not sure if those dumps created by crashes actually help at all. I'm no dev. :)

Rinnegatamante/vitaQuakeII@321f86e should be merged to fix it (tested myself)

1. Increase the brightness via settings
2. Exit the game via the main menu
3. Re-launch the game
4. Brightness setting will be back to default

Tested on version 2.0

Hi, thank you for this Quake port, probably the best handheld version thanks to your dual analog nubs support.

I encounter an issue, however, as settings seems to be non-persistent (inverted cam, screen brightness, always run on, etc), just like if some config file could not be written/modified.
When VitaQuake is stopped and executed again, I have to set it all back.

Tested on a "fat" 3G Ps Vita with the latest Henkaku homebrew enabler.

Sorry for my english.

If you could explain how to compile vitaQuake this would be helpful.
What programs to use? Cmake, Git & Visual Studio.
What files & commands to run?

Implement this please. It gives the needed fps boost for extremists.
In the console if you type r_drawflat 1 and r_fullbright 1 you can near 60 fps at native resolution at the cost of visuals.

When compiled with latest version of VitaGL, the gun and the shotgun blasts are now "too low". the gun is almost completely hidden by the status bar now. The shotgun blast particles are also too low, 2 cm below crosshair. It is hard to even see the gun. Maybe the crosshair is too high? Hard to tell.

I found that this was caused by this recent commit to VitaGL, so this maybe a bug in VitaGL only:
Rinnegatamante/vitaGL@2f30aa6

It is fine in VitaQuake release 2.8, because that was compiled with the earlier VitaGL version.

The brightness adjustment slider in VitaQuake can only make the game brighter, not darker, compared to default.

Is it possible to make the game darker in general to make it more atmospheric? Maybe adjust the brightness slider range?

Some options menu not work anymore cause refer to soft rendering only features (eg. Depth of Field).
Could be nice to replace them with glQuake renderer features.

In some specific spots, moving parts of scenario are clipping with static world models causing a sort of texture flickering effect when moving camera.

Noticeable in Episode 1 Level 1 with the elevator that leads to the secret Quad damage.

With vitaQuake v2.6 I am having fairly regular crashes to a black screen with the message 'An error has occurred. The PS vita system will be powered off'.

I have had the issue on both my vita 2000 with sd2vita and 200gb microsd, and my pstv with official sony 32GB mem card.

It occurs after 5-10 minutes of playing, the most recent occurrence was after I started a new game, normal difficulty, first world. Part way through the second level while shooting an enemy the system crashed.

I had played a few hours of v2.5 with no crashes, just the inability to see underwater which is now fixed.
I'm using the same ID1 folder (from steam) as I did with previous versions of vitaquake.
Uninstalling vitaquake then reinstalling v2.6 did not resolve the issue.

Crash dumps from vita2000: https://mega.nz/#F!xtdUALJb!a0SpUy18W7ndIBWbrg0T_w
The two 'GPUCRASH' files are from when this has occurred.
The other 77-78KB crash dumps in that link are from starting up V2.6 with the official quake expansions being present in ux0:data/quake which causes an application crash (different issue).

Crash dump from PSTV: https://mega.nz/#!451zQS6K!B-fYZo8J3I2LIxXyJ6dFqzOG011odlJh_Apyab3sOyY

before restart:

after restart:
slider in wrong place, weapon too low

changing screen size using viewsize xxx has no effect on weapon height which is likely why this happens

It seems some particles (blood for example) are missing or are rendered with incorrect colors.

Here are those issues, reposted from the Wololo thread!

1. If you have the console output too many things (such as executing many cfg files, as one may have to do when playing team fortress on a handheld console,) it will crash the game. This isn't too big of a problem because you can just put the clear command in each of your configs so that it clears the console.
2. If you type a command that changes the map into the console, it will leave the keyboard in the corner and not let you use any controls, leaving you frozen there.
3. If you look out of bounds, the game will immediately crash.
4. If you attempt to start a new game while a game is already running, you will be locked in an infinite loop asking if you want to start a new game.
5. For some reason it doesn't seem to understand some console commands from the mod when loaded (doesn't understand temp1 from Team Fortress?)
6. Occasionally, without warning, it will crash when trying to do too many things at once. This can happen when trying to change settings while hosting a game but more often just happens for no discernible reason.

Currently ogg files work fine but mp3 in the cd tracks don't:

Code error in: source/audiodec/cd_psp2.cpp

Line 186 needs changed:
from: FILE* fd = fopen(tmp,"rb");
to: fd = fopen(tmp,"rb");

Then both ogg and mp3 can work.

Not sure why this happens (may be some slight difference in primitives rendering between sceGxm and openGL for TRIANGLE_STRIP / TRIANGLE_FAN), however entities are drawn with missing polygons (flying pickups like armors/quad damage, etc, viewmodel (aka the current in-use weapon), enemies).
Noticeable in this picture in the in-use weapon: http://rinnegatamante.it/mip.jpg

Can you add a dead zones for sticks?
Left stick on my Vita sometimes tilts right with out any reasons, I found its a popular problem.

On line 65 where you added the: source/gl_fullbright.o, you forgot to add the back slash to the line above, ie: it should be - source/gl_vidpsp2.o \

This results in the game not compiling, please can you add that. Thanks.

I messed around a bit, and was able to connect to a few servers. But the quake screen never went up so I could see the game. Now I've never played quake, so I know very little about how online should work. I definitely connected, as I could see the chat, and was even killed once.

This could very easily be an error on my side, I'll do my best to troubleshoot if you have any advice.

I wanted to contribute with a minimal contribution in the exterior design of this great hombrew, who in the exterior icon is using the Quake 4 and inside is out of square. I'll try to do something better afterwards.
I hope they serve you and add it in your next release.

Thank you very much for your great work. Keep in that way

Hey,

vitaQuake is crashing when starting new game or starting benchmark after I've replaced pak0.pak with full Quake pak0.pak file and put pak1.pak next to it.

Desktop clients like Darkplaces and Quakespasm run fine with these files.

Also when I put pak1.pak file inside ID1 without replacing pak0.pak it works to the moment when I select non-shareware episode, after that it crashes like with replaced pak0.pak.

I've downloaded all 3 vitaquakes, and all 3 give me this error. Everything else on my vita works perfectly fine, so I don't think it's the console.

Henkaku enso 3.65, psvita slim with sd2vita

If you decide to swap X and O from normal confirm (x) to Japaneese (o) it makes the camera go to the top right corner of the screen and it stays there. To replicate install Vita Quake 1.4 and Button swapper Button Swapper , swap to Japanese ,restart , apply Henkaku and launch the game.

It will be cool to have possibility to use ur0:/ partition as source for data directory - it takes most of the space that homebrew uses, and many users will be glad to have that option

This change to the git breaks textures from displaying in the orignal game - after this the game is in black and white.

Tested on version 2.0

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, but I couldn't see where to do a request.

Currently Dopa and Abyss-Of-Pandemonium expansions seem to also work. I know I can strat these by bringing up the console and typing 'game impel' or 'game dopa' then start the game as normal. Would it be possible at some point to add a shortcut to the menu, or add a menu command so these can be selected from the main menu or vita icon screen?

Thanks.

Installed over top of 2.5: Crashed after console messages finish scrolling
Deleted and reinstalled via Homebrew Browser, same issue. Rebooted in between uninstall and reinstall for good measure.

Not sure what else to add. Crash dumps attached.

When I start the game, it doesn't go to the title menu. Instead it shows a console with the following messages:
EXECING QUAKE.RC
EXECING DEFAULT.CFG
"ALT" ISN'T A VALID KEY
"ENTER" ISN'T A VALID KEY
"ESCAPE" ISN"T A VALID KEY
UNKNOWN COMMAND "GAMMA"
EXECING CONFIG.CFG
COULDN'T EXEC AUTOEXEC.CFG
EXECING CONFIG.CFG
] {blinking cursor}

I have to press start to make the title menu show and then I can play.

I updated vitagl and vitasdk (via vdpm). Now for some reason I am unable to compile this now. I went to older versions of vitasdk + vitagl and still got errors, so I reinstalled mysys2 and all the required stuff + vitasdk and vitagl. Each time I try and build I get the following errors:

c:/msys32/usr/local/vitasdk/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-vita-eabi/8.2.0/../../../../arm-vita-eabi/bin/ld.exe: C:\msys32\tmp\ccigDhpAd ebugobjtem: file not recognized: file truncated

LTO-wrapper fails because the files are truncated, what would cause this, even after a fresh install of everything? (same errors as before reinstalling).

Last time I installed an incompatible app, mem card died. Insight would be appreciated.

Improve the background and the icons of the expansions a little, I hope they serve you.

Moving mod menu from vita2d to vitaGL would mean getting rid of libvita2d inside the executable making it more compact.

Sometimes particles get rendered as full black. Still not happened to detect the trigger however is clearly visible during the whole Level 1 in Episode 1. Disappears in Level 2.

I know that the mission packs worked in the past, as I distinctly remember loading them up.
However, only the core game works now.

When selecting the Live Area shortcuts for either mission pak, the terminal loads fine, but then crashes, giving an error message:
"An error has occurred in the following application..."
And proceeds to save a Core file.

It appears that the program crashes upon trying to download assets.
As the last line of code in the games terminal screen reads:
"WEB DOWNLOADING: PROGS/EMFORCER.MDL FROM HTTP://BIGFOOT.SERVEQUAKE.COM/PROGS/ENFORCER.MDL"
