Source port requirements

[alexey-lysiuk]

What are supported source ports (and maybe their minimum versions)? Mjölnir's page provides such information, is it the same for Keep? In any case, it would be nice to declare source ports support explicitly.

I'm asking because of integer field hitcontentsmaski is FTE extension, it contains junk value in Quakespam based ports, and it can even crash when edicts CCMD is invoked (or just outputs some garbage value for every edict).

This applies to saved games as well. Search for hitcontentsmaski inside .sav file, and there is a high chance of this field's presence in every edict.

Checked with 07b1460.

Keep mod should support all Quake engines that have support for larger qcvm (the progs.dat). Keep itself doesn't exceed the progs.dat limits, does not make exclusive use of any particular engines features in exclusion of another.

That said, the content used for the base precaches does likely exceed original DOS/Winquake limits so an enhanced engine port such as Quakespasm is likely required. Engines with CSQC support are recommended for best experience but that isn't needed. Any commonly used engine should be well supported. Mjolnir is primarily limited by its content (size, number of models, models' sizes).

I'll leave this story open just to confirm and make a list though, and get it added to the Tome readme.
