What are you working on?

Is that ET with a custom hud? I don't get out much.

Built jake2 (quake 2 java) with current libraries and stuff.

It's about that time of the year where I toss up a random pic from some obscure mod that probably won't see another post. Woot. Woot.

Inspired by Minecraft's redstone mechanics and Terraria's new wiring system.

..Seven I wouldn't call what you have done as nothing special! I find it fun and creative as I know some others do!

Dark cultists with ray guns.



And their friends.

I'd suggest making their heads and hands more detailed. The heads and hands in most of Quake's models were awful.

That female model looks completely fine, though.

[leileilol]

I disagree about adding more polygonal detail. It won't work wonders on MDL, due to low vertex precision.

Just skin damn good to make up for it.

I partially disagree. Yeah, it`s a waste of triangles to add more facial detail, but put at least an opposite thumb at those hands instead making it look like an amputated lump.

[mh]

They're likely going to be IQM rather than MDL, but yeah - MDL has only 8 bits of precision for vertexes, and that has to include detail in the base frame as well as animations. You might get the base frame OK, but animations will screw you. IQM just makes it all go away.

[goldenboy]

Yeah, they'll be IQM. I'll have to add a couple polies for better looking animation anyway - sure, I can add thumbs etc.

Messing around with 3D interface ideas.

Some popup ad showed some $299 Flash thing that people buy for their web sites. Laughed a little and then made my own in OpenGL. Yeah, it rotates and stuff ... too lazy to make a YouTube vid.

In hindsight ... it is kind of funny the cool stuff you learn messing around with Quake, had I not wanted to fix some simple things in ProQuake a few years ago, I never would have ended up learning more engine stuffs that eventually led me to dissect FitzQuake and JoeQuake. And stuff just sinks in after a while when working with it enough. Quake's awesome.

(Yes, that's ancient OpenGL 1.x. Maybe in 2013 I'll start using shaders and such. But the way I see it, there are plenty of non-graphics oriented problems out there to be solved and I'm more interested in that stuff right now.)

Messing around with 3D interface ideas.

Somehow this could work with the injector...

I always liked the idea of making as many configuration decisions as possible directly within the 3D world, like player setup (Rise of the Phoenix) and map selection
http://quakeone.com/files/2-maps/13-roc ... ector-map/ ...and undergate!
To push further, the "start" map could have up/down buttons to adust gamma and volume, switches to adjust the HUD, etc.

Yeah Mod selector and installer (cURL download). Initially, it'll be in Engine X and using a "non-Quake Injector" archive. [And eventually when this is done will be a tutorial].

But the ultimate goal is trying to make mod playing easy, fun and accessible.

The interface has stood in the way. In the past, I was kind of lacking ideas that played out poorly. But I'm on to something to liven up the experience. Initially I was thinking a "rows and columns"-ish like the Quake Injector but that is problematic for a few reasons including screen resolution and that a fixed-width character set (or even a variable width one) won't play nice in a lot of screen resolutions.


Hehe: You might be the only one that remembers that Rocket Arena selector map I made

Direct 3D 11.

[taniwha]

MH: heh, you went world + particles first. I went sprits + alias models first (glsl rewrite).

Anyway, looks good.
