Description

Fitzquake is based on the glquake source code released by id Software. The primary focus is fixing a lot of the rendering bugs which made glquake inferior to the software renderer. The secondary focus is adding conveniences for mappers and general users. There also is support for new modding or mapping features such as skyboxes, fog, and colored light.

Some features

Positives and Negatives

  • + De-facto standard for new singleplayer map releases (which Quaddicted.com focuses on).
  • + Supports and defaults to most of the things software-rendered Quake did nicer than GLQuake.
  • - Has been superceeded by the fork Quakespasm. metlslime said he might base the next release on that.
  • - No support for using files for the soundtrack.
