CD Audio Support

Interstice uses a hardware accelerated .mp3 decoder for CD Audio support, this means other formats like .flac and .ogg are unsupported. It uses the widely-adopted standard for path and file name, that standard being <GAMEDIR>/music/track01.mp3. It will fall back to the id1 directory to try and load a track there if one is not present in the loaded game directory. It is recommended to lower the rate of your music tracks to 190Kbps (or lower), but the standard music files sourced directly from Quake CDs will play without issue. Interstice fixes the bug with Mission Pack 1's HIPDEMO.DEM referencing a track 98 instead of 02.

Changelog

5.20

• Several performance and memory optimizations from @shpuld.

• Note that changes made here do not impact mod compatibility.

5.10

• sv_defaultmap cvar can now be used to determine what map to start when beginning a new game (useful for mods).
• Mods can now load patchfiles via patches/GAMENAME/patch.cfg, allowing for enhanced support for mods with alternative control schemes.
• config.cfg will no longer always write to the id1 directory, fixing mods writing config updates and breaking existing settings.
• id1/config.cfg is now executed by default for select mods, restoring options like control and performance settings.
• Added a control scheme patch for Kickflip Quake.
• Mod loading interface now properly frees allocated memory.
• Updated compatibility option for LibreQuake, as they have removed accidental inclusion of various high-memory assets.
• Improved engine-compatibility support for various mods, fixing some problems with Quake Mission Packs 1 & 2.
• Add full support for SUPERHOT Quake.
• CD Audio will now properly always look in the loaded game directory to load a track, falling back to id1 only if that seek failed.
• Added a fix for Mission Pack 1's demo file referencing a CD Track that doesn't exist (98 instead of 02).

5.00 (First Release)
