What are you working on?

[Shpuld]

I made a dungeon generation algorithm in QuakeC.

this is cool, Shpuld

Hmmm, that's interesting... Are you using bsp blocks only ? What are the grid dimensions ? And the cell dimensions ? How about performance ? Sorry if I am throwing too many questions at once but I tried this before and had serious frame dropping issues past certain a number of bsp blocks (immv but usually anything beyond 32x32 grids were unbearable). Of course, I was trying to generate relatively big outdoor areas, and mazes offer better opportunities to optimization.

[Shpuld]

frag.machine: every block is a 128*128 bsp model and the size is 48*48 currently, it's not very optimized right now.
I get frame drops from 200 to 70 by just looking around.

Heh, "Quake Roguelike". Now make everything also move & act turnbased.

really cool Nahuel! CSQC, right?

[ceriux]

update, i pretty much finished him. but the AO bake messed up his texture.



actually i finished them .

[toneddu2000]

so funny, it's perfect for a mobile game, ceriux! but I prefer the AO version

Not only this is in a palette, it also makes use of GL_EXT_paletted_texture where available.

WHAT


DID I JUST USE A DEPRECATED EXTENSION!?!!!! OH THE HERESY


(BTW, I can't get paletted alpha working at the moment despite the spec mentioning it, so that's RGBA8'd for now)

It has the ao but I accidentally colored it o.O maybe ill give a second ao pass see how it goes

[leileilol]

I got paletted alpha working now too

had to make a 1024-byte palette to pass to GL with the last 256 bytes being transparency values for each index

Afterward, I can happily use index 255 for transparent effects just fine like a software renderer


The extension does work, I was unable to test it until I revived a Voodoo2 machine and it worked there with much faster (but unsurprisingly uglier) results.

[gnounc]

added crappy minimap to operation:Grouphug. Minimap wont be so crappy on flatter open terrain type levels.


added hovertext descriptions to the draft menu as well.

Been working on some more palette. I made the palette with "DOS" colors. So, every color value is in steps of 4, and jump 5 after 60, 125 and 190. Also noticed my monitor doesn't even really display 32bit colors. Lots of dark colors/shades look exactly the same.

I also made it with whatever amounts of shades I wanted (pretty close to the palette in Abuse), but then organized it in a way that it would also work with Quake levels without them becoming some tuttifrutti out of space. Most textures work pretty ok, but about every liquid texture becomes kind of bad (that's happened with any palette I've done). Should make it easier to try some gameplay before I have done my own levels.

And here's some icky stuff that fell from the sky...
