wow Supa! Did you do all the work by yourself(code and art)? That's awesome! Keep it up! Thanks. :) The art is pretty much just hacked together Fiend Hunter assets, though I did the anims from scratch. I'm not a real artist at all. As for the qc I wrote more or less everything but the remaining inn...

I know it's been a while since I've shared any progress, but Brood Hunter is still going at a pretty decent clip now.. I still have a lot left to implement (and fix) but I'm pretty happy with how everything is shaping up so far. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh2k-IH1wBY http://i.imgur.com/1X92s...

Which version of Darkplaces are you using? It should roll the csprogs into the demo so that it can display in the first place, and given that I've recorded multiple videos involving CSQC HUDs I'd be worried if it broke recently.

After a pretty harsh lighting and general quality pass I've started moving a lot of Brood Hunter's effects over to the client end. It more or less means that I can get away with doing stupid over the top things with the flares and sentry effects now. :D

As Spike noted, the server side .viewzoom scalar is saved in demos, so any demos recorded without it aren't going to have any zoom at all. Also given that DP_VIEWZOOM works with a 0..1+ scalar, setting it to 1 isn't going to do anything, just like with alpha - you need to set it lower (in) or higher...

@Supa: yay, QuakeC highlight for Notepad++! Can you make the definitions file available for us ? I started creating one but is far from completion... I'm afraid I don't really have much to share, since I'm just using NP++'s C lexer with QC's typewords added in. But eh, okay, here's the relevant sty...

Oh hey, we're posting editor shots again? Cool. :D



Sorry, the next teaser is still going to be a ways away. :|

CONSEQUENCES Stick your head in the oven after hearing 'IS THIS MUGEN?!11' for the billionth time. Out of curiousity, what would be your initial approach for the command interpreter? I've had an itch to do a 2D fighter in DP for the longest time though it's kinda sorta on the waaaaaaay back burner ...

Self-righteous much?

Thanks again for contributing so much to the community at large. I'll have to see what I can contribute WRT QC and friends in my free time.

You'll want to dike out the lines that play with the traceline sources in things like W_FireM16: src_z = (self.absmin_z + (self.size_z * 0.800)); src_y = (self.absmin_y + (self.size_y * 0.400)); Also, from looking at M16.qc itself I'm not really sure just wtf is going on in the NS 3.0 source, just f...

How about door number two? Why not keep track of a separate health for freezes which regenerates over time and is decremented by hits from freeze weapons, and the player freezes when it hits zero. For feedback you could give the hit player an alpha'd blue viewblend which gets more and more visible a...
