           Summary: Quakeforge sound and control bugs
           Product: quakeforge
           Version: 0.5.5
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


The bug that garbles the sound is also in Quake Forge.  also, there is a
controls issue in QuakeForge that prevents the keyboard from working, but I
have an idea why that is. In gdb, I get the error "could not load
/usr/lib/games/quakeforge/plugins/console_client.so

So my immediate thought is "Bingo."

I did some research and discovered a few things. Apparently both QuakeForge and
Quake 2 have incompatibilities with gcc 4

I pulled this off  message board:

>

So I think that in both cases,  this is our culprit.

Now personally, I think that quakeforge has no biusiness in PLF, it should be
in contribs.
