[MacGLQuake] Re: QuakeWorld Skins

[pOx]

This should fix the QuakeWorld skin problem...

After some putzing around I discovered that the bits holding the image
dimensions need to be rotated to get the right value on a Mac - in
'QW/client/skin.c' go to the 'Skin_Cache' routine and find this part:

//
// parse the PCX file
//
    pcx = (pcx_t *)raw;
    raw = &pcx->data;

Right below that, add these two lines to rotate the bits:
   
    pcx->xmax = ( (pcx->xmax>>8) | (pcx->xmax<<8) );
    pcx->ymax = ( (pcx->ymax>>8) | (pcx->ymax<<8) );

I'm not sure if there's a more 'proper' way to do this but it seems to work
fine.

NOTE: I'm not sure when David will have time to add these changes to the
official build, but if anyone wants the executables containing this fix (and
the others I recently mentioned), feel free to email me at
pox@planetquake.com - Do note that I've only tested these builds with a
Voodoo3 2000 PCI with beta12 drivers on MacOS 9.0.4 - your mileage may vary.
