The open source Zircon engine ("DarkPlaces Mark V Project") is a modification DarkPlaces engine with a mouse driven menu everywhere, ALT-ENTER fullscreen/windowed switching and 88 other enhancements to support user/mapper/mod coder ease-of-use and optional conveniences for those interested in a "1996 Quake" experience. "csqc_full_width_height 1" in console when running Arcane Dimensions at this time It is hoped that some/many/all of these enhancements will eventually make it into official DarkPlaces. The Zircon engine seeks to keep full compatibility with DarkPlaces so either engine can be used interchangeably.

Description

Official Zircon Intermap Version 1.00, adding support for starting a new map with a specific spawnpoint (as opposed to changelevel). zircon_command_line.txt now supports // to comment out part of a command line. ZIRCON_INTERMAP_VERSION_1 and ZIRCON_PFLAGS_CORONA_ONLY_RENDERS are now in the QuakeC extensions list so the Intermap Travel Demo can warn for missing extensions to make sure older versions of Zircon or non-supporting versions of DarkPlaces get warnings when playing maps needing the extensions. sv_gameplayfix_fiendjumpfix defaults 0 due to sliding corpses issue with "sv_gameplayfix_fiendjumpfix 1" with Quake Combat Plus/Quake 1.5 ("sv_gameplayfix_fiendjumpfix 1" has shown no issues with standard Quake). Linux very likely will compile (test compiled under Windows Subsystem For Linux, although WSL binaries won't run on Linux distributions).
