#Quake-gamecube A port of id Software's Quake to the Nintendo Wii and GameCube.

Be sure to check out the user guide if you are new to Quake or Wii/GameCube homebrew.

UPDATE 2012/07/03: Since this project is now more or less feature-complete in relation to the original id Software GLQUAKE, it has been on idle for a while. But there are still many novel things to be done and I'm accepting patches begining now.

There were already some patches that were sent to me, but I've lost them among other things, my life was very turbulent for a while, but now everything is settled again. (If you sent me a patch during this time, may you know that I'M SORRY!)

Also, if you have experience with the Quake engine and want to help clear the list of issues here on googlecode, I will HAPPILY give you access to the repository. Who knows when I will be able to really dig into this code again.

By the way, google wasn't sending me updates on the issues list either.

MP3 support for CD audio.

It would be nice if MP3s were supported as a substitute for CD audio.

HUD elements are outside of the Title Safe zone

If you're using a TV that overscans the HUD elements like health and armor
will be cut off or outside the screen. This would require another config
element.

Music Support

Any chance a future version will feature support for the original game's 
soundtrack?

If not using music files on the SD card could it stream from the original CD?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Widescreen 16:9 bug

Like most wii homebrew, quake has an annoying issue on 16:9 displays even
though a pretty straightforward fix has been known for quite some time now.
 The problem is due to the way libogc deals with some default wii
setting(s). Please fix this issue in the next version of quake wii.  I am
not asking for proper widescreen support, just that you fix this problem.

No Icon or Description using Homebrew Channel

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. The current "Quake.elf" file doesn't show up in the Homebrew Channel
2. Renaming "Quake.elf" to "boot.elf" will allow it to be displayed...
3. but there is no name nor a graphic icon.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Using the homebrew Channel, it displays "/apps/Quake/boot.elf -- <No
description>"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Running the Homebrew channel Beta 8

Please provide any additional information below.
Provided you copied the PAK files over, the game still runs great. This is
just a cosmetic blemish.

On-screen text may be too small.

Because the display is 640 pixels wide and the font is only 8 pixels wide,
it may be difficult to read on SD televisions.

Some flickery areas

Since the GX version, areas with secret lifts and other overlapping walls
seem to 'flicker' between them.

An example can be seen in e1m1 'The Slipgate Complex' where once you cross
the bridge and go inside, to the right is a pillar, behind it, the floor
where the secret lift is 'flickers.'

Model's prematurly stop rendering when they reach the edge of the screen.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Kill a monster.
2. Slowly turn away from the corpse.
3. Watch the corpse model stop rendering prematurely.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The model to be rendered.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.0.1 Beta

Please provide any additional information below.
It appears that the frustrum view calculations that test if a model is in
the camera's view, and to detect if a model is to be rendered or not is
prematurely stopping the rendering of models when the model reaches the
corner of the view. It's most notable with larger models like the shambler.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Join a multiplayer game
2. Join another multiplayer game
3. Join another multiplayer game
4. Watch for error

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Please provide any additional information below.

After receiving the same error on my computer and consulting the admins at 
quakeone.com it turns out -zone 1024 is something you are supposed to change 
from default because failure to do so hinders multiplayer playing on newer 
system (ie not win 95). Unfortunately, there is no place to edit launch 
options. Also Baker claims he should look at the source and talk to you guys:

SDHC support

please, thank you.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected] on 29 Nov 2008 at 12:31

Support 480p

My television does not seem to like a 480i signal over component video. I
modified the source code to force a progressive scan 480p output, which
fixed my TV's horrible distortion. However, it appears that the quake
engine was only outputting to the top half of the screen.

I'm not quite sure what the problem there was (you would know better than
I), but I would suspect that it's due to a hardcoded resolution of 320x240.
It would be nice to get working progressive scan, even if this means
doubling the resolution for lower framerates. (The framerate doesn't matter
much to me if I can't play at all!)

Thanks for your time.

QuakeGX with DevkitPPC r16, libogc 1.7.1a, and libfat 1.0.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempted to compile with Devkit r16 libogc 1.7.1a, and libfat 1.0.3
2. Start new game.
3. Unable to move forward, backwards, and side to side correctly.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Being able to smoothly, and correctly move threw the game.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN rev 202


Please provide any additional information below.

The problem with the pitch is that for some reason if you try to use an
extern c_var value in a C++ part of the program, like input.cpp, the float
value return as 0, and the pointer to the c_vars are incorrect as well. To
fix this problem I rewrote input in C, and several other parts of the
program in C, but movement from side to side, and forwards, and backwards
is still incorrect.

After lots of debugging, without the aid of a geckoUSB, I have discovered
that there is no problem with the input data, from input.cpp, or the
movement commands being passed. The problem occurs after
NET_SendUnreliableMessage. For some reason the movement message gets
mangled, and comes to the server with incorrect values. I get a feeling
that something is overrunning it's array, based on how odd these bugs are.

Camera offsets after Death.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start a game normally that has no issues.
2. Die
3. Reload to find that the center of the screen is now located on the
right-bottom. Stays this way from that point on, even after restarting the
game.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When I reload, the cursor and gun should remain centered, however, the
'center' has moved to the right-bottom of the screen, and pointing at the
real center causes you to look left and to stay looking ahead you have to
aim at the bottom-right.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Quake 0.04
Homebrew Channel 1.0.1 (Wii)


Please provide any additional information below.

Initial installation worked fine, with correct center. Happens only after
death and reload and stays that way. Tried removing the app from SD card
and replacing it with version downloaded from net. Same thing, issue was
still present.

Please provide any additional information below.

I have the september quake 
i am using homebrew channel beta 9 , Wii firmware 3.3u
ok after the games loads up, I disconnected & reconnected the Nunchuk and YES 
it recognizes the control input BUT the wierd thing is that;
1. if i want to strafe left, it goes well
2.if i want to strafe backward, it goes well
3.NOW if i want to strafe right, instead the character goes left instead of 
right
4.ALSO if i push the joystick forward to perform forward movemnt, instead IT 
GOES BACKWARD!
to my conclusion the joystick forward movement and right movement are going 
backward and left side.
i have tried configuring , resetting controls to default but its makes no 
changes.
I need help!
PS: my nunchuk works well with wii commercials games so which mean the forward 
and right isnt broken.

2D Resolution Bug

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start a new game
2. Before choosing an Episode go to options and change the 2D Resolution
Setting to anything other than the Default Setting.
3. Choose an Episode; once the level loads you are stuck in an 'Zoomed In'
mode.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect normal gameplay; instead the player is stuck with a 'Zoomed In' view
which makes gameplay almost imposible.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Quake GX 0.04 on an NTSC Nintendo Wii.

Please provide any additional information below.

Headtracking

Headtracking with a second wiimote á la Johnny Lee would be a neat
enhancement for (much) later versions.

I think Johnny Lee even released his sources, so the math could be copied
straight over. Creating a camera offset and applying it to the camera
matrix shouldn't be that hard to do either.

Enhanced Wiimote AUTOEXEC.CFG

I spent about an hour last night and cooked up an autoexec.cfg file for the
base id1 game for the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo. It's mostly similar to the
built in config.cfg but with a couple of minor tweaks: 

DPad left and right scrolls through previous/next weapons
C and Z is bound to Swim Up and Swim Down
m_pitch is lowered slightly to make it a bit easier to keep your view
centered vertically
unbindall at the top to remove all the excess PC binds-- cleans up the
customize controls menu just to make it a little less confusing
Always Run enabled by default.

Wasn't sure where else to throw this, so forgive me if it's in the wrong place.

Suggestion: Going to Menu Pauses Game/Locks View

Basically, when you go to the menu, it should either pause the entire game

Error in Nunchuk operation (Related problem with WiiDoom)

This problem seems to have developed on all Wii-based ports of games made
by id Software. This is a relation with WiiDoom, as the nunchuk's axis does
not seem to have correct configuration for these game ports. Since
development on WiiDoom has been locked down (allowing any professional to
take over the project) I have yet to allocate with any fixes to this error.
This is a defect which could cause popularity of these ports to drop. If
you programmers have located a fix to this problem, I will be very glad.

PS: I have yet to test this with the GC controller.

Using relative path for PAK files

Currently it seems that the PAK files path are hardcoded and had to be
installed on the root of the SD card 
x:\ID1\PAK0.PAK.

It will be desirable to make it work with a relative path so we can install
install it on a subdirectory when we use for example the Homebrew Channel.
