Missing Option
What, there's no option for "Read Engine Source Code"? That's what I use. Well, most of the time I use a mix of things (usually whatever Google brings up). However, whenever I really need to know how things work, I use the source.

These behaviors are all caused by something pretty basic, failing to clear self.impulse after declining to act on it's value, which causes the value to be there the next time the impulse handler is called. In the case of the default attack_finished, the reason is that W_WeaponFrame (called from Play...

Those images sure are pretty, but the lighting in the second two shots looks kinda off. The bright spots just look like they're being lit from out of nowhere, like there's just a radius light nearby, with no identifiable source. If that's supposed to be sunlight coming in from behind the viewer, it ...

The animation frames are actually just functions with some syntax sugar. So, all you have to do is call the first one in the sequence. This tutorial, while at it's core about adding a monster behavior, has a nice introduction to how animation in Quake works. http://web.archive.org/web/20070828074551...

In regards to Baker's desire to automate this process. I have an idea that might work, although, it would require some fairly advanced programming. The idea is to basically preprocess the the models using the MD3 attachment system. The program would load the player model and each weapon model. For e...

As mentioned before, this couldn't really be done from QuakeC, however, it seems that with minor engine modifications, it would be possible. As Quake already has robust demo recording facilities, the basic capability to implement such a system already exists. What would be needed is a way to trigger...

I suppose I should drop a little note in here. My name is Levi Aho and I've been writing code for many years now. I got into Quake as it was one of the earliest games with good Linux support and low hardware requirements. By the time I really got into it, it was a few generations old, but still a gr...

I think frag.machine is onto something here. I agree with his reasoning for two reasons. First, it avoids the kludgy overloading of an already existing cvar. Secondly, using a different variable would avoid the problem that Spike pointed out, namely, an existing r_wateralpha being stashed away in a ...

This is a really cool mod. What I've played of it so far has been cool. However, the difficulty seems too high. Perhaps I just suck, but I keep dying repeatedly even on easy. The problem seems to be the amount of damage the better monsters (especially some of the enforcers) do per hit. The quantity ...

Well, if I recall correctly, the server framerate is usually 72 fps. That's actually faster than what I usually get client-side (yes, I know my hardware sucks), so it should be as smooth (on my setup) as anything else in the world. On the other hand, I can see how it would be a problem, in some situ...
