[RELEASE] vitaQuake - Quake port for PSVITA

[Rinnegatamante]

I think it's a problem only with default expansions (hipnotic and rogue).
I do have tf mod and it works perfectly.
Probably there's a bug in Com_Init call, have to look further into this.

I also needed to delete hipnotic folder that was in my id1! Now it works like a charm. Impressive work!!!
Only improvement left would be the overbright and fullbright and that would make it the most beautiful Quake version ever

One bug report and one question :
- When the ps vita running vitaQuake 2.6 goes in sleep mode or if going to Vita menu screen for a second, turning it back on crashes quake with error C2-12828-1.
- Is there a way to change Gamma and Contrast via the console? Command seem to not be recognized...

Gamma is not changeable at all in glQuake. It's a common bug. However you can increase/reduce PSVITA brightness on the game by holding PS button for a while.

I suppose that contrast is also not changeable?

I've managed to bugfix gamma so Brightness setting will come back in next release.

That's a great news!! On the way to bring back the old dark Quake atmosphere

Dunno if anybody tried, but even under-clocking Ps Vita to lowest settings, VitaQuake 2.6 still runs at >40fps. Amazing.

Hello. Excellent work. Big thanks and bow!! But one thing haunts:
- When the ps vita running vitaQuake 2.6 goes in sleep mode or if going to Vita menu screen for a second, turning it back on crashes quake with error C2-12828-1.
I confirm that I have the same problem...
is there a solution?
Thanks!

That's a common bug in henkaku, it's not related to vitaQuake directly.

However vitaQuake v.2.7 released!

Hi,
Is there any way you could make text in menu larger? It's pretty hard to see it

Hi, I really appreciate you making this . Its a great game to have on the vita. Runs great too.

I've been trying to get some mods running with it, namely the half-life conversions. There is two that I know of, and I cant get either to work.

The first is Quakelife https://github.com/autonomous1/quakelife. I import the maps from hl1 from steam. And when I go to launch new game after loading mod it crashes.

The second is the old psp half-life quake conversion. It has sound files and scripts and stuff. So you get the story. But once I load that mod that also crashes when I start new game.

If anyone has had any better luck than this, please let me know. Thanks!

Is there a guide from building this from the git.

I keep getting errors when running the makefile. Do you need any specific packages/paths set to build this.

I just built pkgi to make sure my system was building ok and that compiled the vpk & other files with no problems.

EDIT: OK figured it out after realising I needed to build vitaGL then run the "make install" command.
