I played until the end of e1m4 with this. Promising mod, here's some feedback. Some reload sounds aren't played No reload sounds are played. I am trying to figure out how to set them up still. I am using the dpm format for the models, and the playback of animations is called using framegroups. Opti...

Bleh a name... I suppose nondescript quake project is no good? I should have known better about the screen shots however. Thanks. Not that they show much, its more a game play thing than eye candy. I suppose the guns look cool.

I have not been active in modding in some time, years really. After seeing some of the indie games being built on Quake engine tech, it brought me back, and I ended up here. I have put a bunch of time resurrecting an old mod of mine, and here it is, in a state I feel is beta quality. Its not a serio...

Performed testing on the following system: AMD Phenom II X4 965 8GB DDR3 1600 Nvidia GTX460 1GB, driver 285.62 1680x1050 Panel Windows 7 x64 up to date as of this morning. I see the same thing, with r_shadow_deferred 1 set, the performance takes a roughly 50fps hit. I tested without vsync to really ...

Athlon II X4 640 8GB Ram (DDR3 1600) AMD 6790 1GB 1920x1080 panel Running on Fedora 16 with Catalyst 12.2 I go from 60 fps (vsync) to 30 fps with the deferred shadow enabled in many areas. I will have to try it on my Windows box with an Nvidia GTX460, as it could be an AMD card in Linux issue. Here ...

What version of DP does this work with?

EDIT: Never mind, downloaded the latest autobuild, and its there. Wow, does that deferred shadow stuff ever kill my frame rates.

You are getting "offended" by people using the correct technical terminology, and insisting on being wrong after it has been explained clearly at least 3 times; all the while acting superior, and treating us as inferior. The fact that people are now making fun of you is not shocking..... ....

You are not understanding what these people are telling you. Quake itself is not dumb. The concept, the game, etc... The architecture employed by Quake's multiplayer is a dumb-client style, where by the quake client is only responsible for displaying the game, and not the logic or physics; that is t...

I remember the precision bug. It was terrible. Any map over time would corrupt itself through saves. It was like saving the same jpeg over and over with high compression... It got bad.

An old school trick to the light cones was to simply use a cone model with a transparent/translucent texture and no collision, placed at the light source. Its not the same as engine rendered, but it worked back in the day.

I have been creating content for games for a very long time now (15+ years), and I can say without any doubt that splitting a mesh up to fake smoothing groups is a bad work around for engines that perform full mesh phong or gouraud shading all the time. Quake and quake 2 perform full per face flat s...

While reading all this about old hardware I found this thread on HardOCP where people is ressurecting really old hardware exactly to run old DOS games. You guys may find useful to check it and maybe drop a help request to grab old drivers installers and maybe even a spare 3Dfx card for a treat... I...

I used random just to create a certain degree of randomness to how many of each monster is spawned. It was purely an example. Yes, qc can use while loops. The id code does it, I do it, and it works quite nicely. It would be insanely hard to do a lot of things without a looping structure or two.

The trick is to spawn the monster you want. local entity new, tmp; new = spawn(); new.classname = "monster_army"; new.angles = self.angles; setorigin(new, neworigin); tmp = self; self = new; monster_army_spawn(); new = self; self = tmp; spawncount = spawncount + 1; So in this code which is...
