What are you working on?

[lth]

Cool. What's supposed to happen in the section on the right? Can you put 3d models into it?

[c0burn]

Well it will be filled with the expanded options from the 3 choices on the left eventually! You could do models and stuff I think, haven't looked into it much yet.

I played with kill heatmaps from QW again. I noticed you can abuse r_showbboxes 1 in DP to create some kind of miasma with an .ent file.

Now I need a tiny mod that simply stops items from dropping to the ground. I use item_key1, so that would be enough. I guess it would just be changing "MOVETYPE_TOSS" to "MOVEYPE_NONE" in items.qc's void() PlaceItem. Could someone do that for me? Thanks!
Nevermind, Supa is doing it!

Coding my own game engine from scratch, in Java. It relies heavily on object-oriented features like anonymous object creation, inheritance and overloading.

As an example, any Text object in the game can be translated, used as a cvar, used as a console command, store numeric Value or TextList objects (which in turn can store more Text objects), and store regular strings.

The game itself will be simple, but with this engine I should be able to create several other games quite fast.

Not too happy with how these screenshots turned out, but what the hell:

First up, the new opening area (hmm, what a conveniently placed collection of crates, leading up to an equally conveniently placed ventilation grill...):

This used to be the old opening area, now spiffed up to fit with how the new opening goes:

Some renovation to the underhall tunnel system, enforcers feel much more comfortable in their new security stations:

Yet another tunnel security station:

Reactor Core. Lots of concrete. Getting in will be easy enough, getting out after you do what you need to down here is another matter

Another shot of the Reactor Core. The lone computer on the right will open up the access hatch you need:

After this area is done, renovation to the exit area, replete with the CyberVoreing... Going slow, but getting there.

Dude, software mode??

DRS: It's neat!

I'm slaving away at RMQ maps again, thus haven't started on a remake of hse1m2 yet :-/

After RMQ's MP demo! Hopefully!

czg answered me, thanks. Disregard the text below.

Currently working on an article about Fullbrights I need answers to these questions by engine coders (or wiseguys ):

1. is the colormap also where overbrights come from? http://quakery.quakedev.com/qwiki/index ... e#Colormap says "shade 0 is double bright"


2. non-sw engines do not use the colormap because of the very limited color range, correct?


edit: 3. Are the fire colours technically fullbright too? That would make sense.

Another chapter done: http://www.quaddicted.com/software-vs-g ... llbrights/

[Irritant]

Started out thinking of q3dm6, wound up something wierd.







And, a new skin. Did alot of skin and texture work for this next release actually.

[goldenboy]

Oh, nice, Irritant! Now I need to install the newest version!

[Wazat]

Remember the warcraft 3 map I mentioned a long time ago? You can download it now. So at least I haven't stopped modding completely.

Making a Quake engine that doesn't choke on large complex open scenes - quite successfully I might add. Marcher, ctf1rq, it eats them for breakfast and comes back looking for more.

Try masque.bsp, looking down from the mountain tops with monsters still alive and awake.

Try masque.bsp, looking down from the mountain tops with monsters still alive and awake.

Worst case scenario I could find was on top of the mountain at the rune area. Looking down, it made 32 FPS on an Intel 945.
