Hey all,

Is there any IRC chans that are still around for quake editing? It would be nice to get some realtime answers for some questions I have.

Anyways... thanks again.

Does anyone have any ideas? Sorry for the Bump... I am just really stuck. Perhaps I can ask a bunch of simpler questions: 1. What does "self" refer to when PlayerPostThink() is running. Is it the player entity or the world? 2. If I assign the player a new view portal (which I can do) if I ...

Hi All, Just trying to setup a camera to view the player from a top down view. Just a quick question. If I set up a camera entity to update its origin to be 50 units above the player with an angle of '0 90 0' is it possible to update the players view every frame using .fixangle = TRUE ?? Sorry if th...

Bought it... playing it now... played MP last night online.... not very good... perhaps mods would make it better... I am sure with the engine people could make some good mods (Last Man Standing for Doom3) Anyways... its not bad... great single player... nice storyline... nice graphics... but if you...

Thanks for that Frik... that was the problem. I got it to work now. Bummer for me though... I am too confused to make anything worthwhile. I have been trying to code a camera that is Top-down... but I have no idea what I am doing :P Anyways... I am on my way now... hopefully I will have something to...

Thanks for that Spike. I don't usually add anything at all to the defs.qc file anyways... I hava a bad habbit of declaring globals when I need them (right above the function ).... its messy I know.... but its just me ATM that reads the code.

I don't remember adding anything to defs.QC other than

.entity camera;

(for my custom camera mod I am trying to make)

and I added that right down at the bottom after:

//End

Hmmmm I will go home and check again... Thanks Ren!

Hi All, I am getting the progs.h out of date error when I try to run the code created from the Scratch tutorials (here at Inside3D). Why would this be? I followed the tutorials precisely and my code is identical to the tutorials. Its wierd. It would be really awsome if someone can help me with this ...

Thanks Doc. Will take a look at this tonight and let you know if I have any troubles.

Hi All, How would one go about adding an additional key to the quake engine. I know you can do it by making impulses in quakeC and the like... but I need to do a test like "while(NEW_KEY = PRESSED) do....." I am looking at adding a lock on button where the player can hold it and it will au...

Hi all,

I know this isn't really programming related... but it seems this is probably the best online forum for editing quake so I thought I would ask.

I have extracted the lmp file from the pak file... now what do I need to do?

Any links or info on this would be mostly appreciated.

Hi all, I posted this as a reply to my other topic, but I thought I would make it a new thread, seeing as how it is a little different. I have managed to make the players view switch to my static camera via the suggestions made in my other post. But now when the view changes to the camera the player...

OK.... I finaly got the players view to change to my camera entity... but now I can't make it so the players controls only affect the player model and not the camera.... i.e. when I use the mouse to look around it moves the camera.... I would prefer to have the camera stationary and always facing th...

Thanks Spike... that fixed it. I can't believe I missed that.
Now I can focus on making it work how I want it to.

Hello all, I am trying to start a mod for the original quake engine and I am having some trouble with quakeC. I have only just started learning it, but I have had some past coding experience. What I am trying to do is setup a camera system like in the Alone in the Dark games, where the camera change...
