You might want to bump MAX_STATIC_ENTITIES and a couple others of that type, too. You'll also want the packet overflow fix.

http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/misc/rotation.7z There is a bsp, map, wad and progs.dat with source. Good luck hacking the map compiler. I'll gladly join the fray, but not now. May I suggest Treeqbsp as a basis for the hackery. May I further pimp bjptools: http://qexpo.tastyspleen.net/upload...

RMQ has the func_door_rotating from Quakelife, and for the rotation testing I used FTE (there is a testmap, of course not compiled with a proper map compiler yet). It does rotate, just not around the right origin. Don't know if FTE supports origin brushes though, might have to use that (cool) tutori...

Interesting, thanks. I can see that neither treeqbsp nor txqbsp support any "weird" content types, only clip. Oh well, after reading your post, a couple light bulbs went on. How much does the engine have to support? I guess quite a bit more? Hopefully, we can switch RMQ totally to origin b...

Interesting. Thanks for the little history lesson, Irritant.

Thick skin seems to be a requirement :-/

Well done Mauve.

Boy, would the journey have been easier with these.

It's quite a high speed ride though, newcomers will need to read these several times to "dig" it. Chock full of info.

I look forward to more

You somehow accelerate while turning/circle strafing. No need to jump at all, you can easily reach speeds well over 400 without ever pressing jump just by strafing and turning in the same direction. In QW, it's just much simpler to endlessly accelerate while jumping. In NQ, you have to keep pressing...

I think there are two parts: a) the basics of a C-like programming language (many might actually have these - if not, get these first) b) the basics of QuakeC as related to Quake. What happens when a client connects to a server, what is protocol 15, which functions does a monster call when spawned, ...

Coming from func_ I feel right at home after that post.

whatever you do, please document it.

I like anything by gibbie, but I'm not an online player. For testing, I also use dm6 and dm3.

that "B" looking thing You mean "ß"? That would make your nick pronounced like "Metsssteekel" (evil German accent). I'm gb, short for the unspeakably stupid moniker I gave myself way back when, because I really couldn't think or cared to think about anything better. Wh...

Thanks for the link Metch. It's starting to come together. So you'll need the QC for it, the engine support which should largely be there, and map compiler supporting origin brushes. Since I wasn't around way back when, I don't have the full overview over QuakeSrc stuff. I'm reading up though. I thi...

Right. Wouldn't it be simplest to rip the rotating door from Half-Life or Q2, and add support for origin brushes to one of the map compilers?

Theoretically, that should work?

Does the engine have to support origin brushes, too, or is it purely a map compiler thing?
