working on mh's last engine which supported normalmaps.
so far specular highlights working & bumpmaps ofc allthough not on models yet only surfs.
arb and nv heathaze effects.
plan to add normalmap support for models.
plan to "maybe add shadow volumes" depends on performance hit but i suspect it wont be as big as with real ppl since mh uses the players coordinates to rotate light in a normalization cubemap the idea was originally mine alltho i had no idea that using the cubemap for lights was even possible so credits to mh
add in occlusion culling as of his newest engine.
add the texture dependant bloom from latest code.
add "flames inc" tenebraes halo effects "yes i know a lot hate it but these where newer beaten and are nice for powerup or torch effects"
a lil work on particles most look decent the wizards spit looks a bit pale tho and the hellknights sparks look like the original rest is cool tho.
dynamic progs compilation "if i can wrap my head around it "
newer 3dhud from latest engine.
decals "probably using tenebraes but intend to do them with the resource loader mh built into the engine so theres no need for a ton of extra textures.
compiles on vc6 vc7 vc8 vc9 all dependant libraries added.
small changes png uses the dll from zlib and libpng this is to avoid conflicts and theres really no speed hit so.

Very nice.
And that room you're in is cool. Very nice water!
A scoreboard like that could be very nice... the old quake scoreboards are pretty dated looking by now. Plus, csqc control would let you put a lot more on it than the player's frags, and you'd have a lot more control. So you could have it separated by team in a CTF game and display the team's catures on the top. That's been needed for a while.

Double post but yea
Uploaded 2 new videos, 1 to demonstrate the glsl effect (used the cheap uservec1 trick), so I can call it and fade it from qc.
The other is to demonstrate the scripted menu system I started work on a few weeks ago.
Videos:
http://giffe-bin.net/media.php?type=2
Scripted menu system:
The scripts syntax is based off of jitspo's "DigitalPaintball 2", Its just very simple and easy to use/implement so I went with it.
This script makes the main menu (which always displays):
To make a tabbox all you need to do is:
then set the "parent" key to the name of the tab on each widget u want in the tab. Each widget inside the tab has it's position's relative to the tab rather than the screen's x and y.
Currently I have only 4 widget types done (text, pic,fill,tabbox/tabs) although there is 25 parameters u can set for each one.
This is all in MenuQC. Had to start from scratch since there was no simple code base like csqc.
Would be nice if DP supported TrueType Fonts (maybe using Freetype2 under GPL)

Huh, thats... kinda strange, though it looks good. Using DP to do something Source-esque is like using a time machine to go back in time ten years to use your other time machine from 1998 to go forward in time 2 years, to reach something in 2000 which is behind the 2008 technology you're currently using.Working on a Source-esk scoreboard system in csqc (on DP)
In other news, Jehar and I are working on a map remix. Two different takes on an existing map from another game, in Quake. It's largely an exercise in getting used to Radiant for me.
I think what he's doing is cool. Nexuiz impressed me with its total re-do of menus, and I'd like to see more of that become a mainstay of Quake engines. The more options modders have, the cooler stuff they can do (and the less they have to fight to get the effect they're going for).

I like the source engineceriux wrote:its starting to look alot like a half-life 2 mod.
Anyone can change the menu how they want though I just made mine like it.
I agree, if others worked on some of the more simple systematic things, it would make my life alot easier . But since I have to make a menu, I mine aswell do it right... make it easier and portable for me (or others) to use in the future.Wazat wrote:I think what he's doing is cool.

It wont be nearly as powerful as nexiuz but it will be quite simple for people to make and customize them.
My Quake remix of q3dm2 is coming along, heres a few shots: http://drop.io/ygdsy46
lol i clicked on the thumbnails they just poped up with a slightly bigger screenshot lol , are the download links on the lil pop up window?
EDIT: DUDE!!!! looks like your gfx card is about to be cooked! might wanna get all those artifacts on your screen checked out! if it does fry and u keep running it , it could be sending the wrong voltage thru ur pc and could completely kill it! no one wants that, i had something similar to me happen and those artifacts got really bad over a months time and i had to go to wal-mart -.- and buy a new gfx card....
EDIT2:
good looking map although if your using worldcraft i think you might be able to do a little better with your texture assignment.
on your wall where it bevels out the textures are slightly stretched more than the ones on the normal wall. easy just use the texture application tool and select your wall , hold alt and right click the faces of the brushes with where the textures are larger than the ones on the walls, done
