What are you working on?

[Boss429]

I made a little cli program to generate code for animation frame calls in player.qc. imput starting, and ending frame and it gives you everything in between. even generates nextthinks to deal with the fps. Saved me from typing about a hundred lines of code already

That's very sharp, Chip!
What software are you using?

3DS Max

Wow, Really? That is pretty cool!

Or you could just increment .frame and .weaponframe instead of using those annoying macros, but whatever.

I agree... the macros are to busy and bulky to look at.

Somewhat Quake related...

Just purchased a wide format printer (54") for a future business...
Found some Quake screen-shots and printed them on a removable sticky-back vinyl... makes a nice laptop protector!
After some practice I'll use a special vinyl and completely wrap my laptop in a Quake theme. It will almost look like it was painted on.

Wonder how long it'll take until you start regretting that

Hopefully never!

What would your concerns be? Good to know before I get to crazy with this idea.

The only concern I may have is overheating issues.

I certainly wouldn't completely wrap a hot-rod laptop or desktop.

Should be fine on those low to mid range laptops that are encased in a hard plastic.

Heat is generally dissipated through the bottom and side vents, so no placing graphics on the bottom and vented areas... which is fine as these aren't seen and/or do not have enough surface area for placing a graphic anyways.
I'm thinking of just the back of the laptop monitor and the surface area around the keyboard.

The material I use is made to conform around complex curves and is designed to be easily removed... so, removing the graphics is not an issue either.

Who knows... I may be back here whining about how my laptop went up in flames!

this is what happens when i mess with the software renderer

That would make a kickass effect if you could trigger it from QC/map.

Huh.. Alien Swarm ?

Huh.. Alien Swarm ?

Ugh, it isn't quake related, my fault.
Well it will be soon enough.

Oh, I was about to post my minecraft cave

are you serious? I hate these things! Thats why i made this dumb program. Show me your ways, o great one.
tried this and quake didn't like it:

Code: Select all

void() player_reload1 =
{
   self.frame = 249;

   while (self.frame < 289)
   {
      self.frame = self.frame + 1;
      self.nextthink = time + .033;
   }
   player_walk();
}

compiled fine, just didn't play my animation.
