[idea] Toy: Explosives Sandbox.

[Teiman]

Here is my idea for a sandbox.
- Take a phisic simulator for Quake1 that can handle entitys with "box" shape. (wig?)
- Create a map with the shape a big (enormeous) empty box.
- Make the player able to spawn entities with the model a big car (use qracer models?) , with these models activated in the phicis engine.
- Make the player have a weapon "radio explosion"... place 'explosives' and a radio to detonate these explosions.
- Use has much eyecandy as available on the explosions itself
- Move has much code has possible from the phicis engine, to the engine itself, trough builtins. (get a function in QuakeC that seems timeconsuming, rewrite it in c, and create a builtin with his name)

TADA!!.. explosive sandbox.


Much like this:

I have made this "physics-object" for Twig. Is a car (the model is riped from FrikaC "bigmap"). Is a bit rough, since I am very newbie to editing this thing with twig, but seems to work ok for my needs

A car mod with Twig physics would be interesting

"Hey! Move outta the way!"

[Teiman]

I am not trying to make a vehicles game, cause having a ambition that size is beyond my skills.

Heres a screenshots.


I have modified the ground texture and sky texture of the testmap of Wig.

Surprising enough, this test map of wig is step 2 on my plan ("Create a map with the shape a big (enormeous) empty box. ").


Here is the profiling. Is a bit misterious to me.

Code: Select all

Matrix_Multiply seems to be a good candidate to remade as a builtin. And all the Phys_, but these are probably harder to remade.

Code: Select all

void(vector m1forward, vector m1left, vector m1up, vector m2forward, vector m2left, vector m2up) Matrix_Multiply =
{
   matrix_forward = m1forward_x * m2forward + m1forward_y * m2left + m1forward_z * m2up;
   matrix_left    = m1left_x    * m2forward + m1left_y    * m2left + m1left_z    * m2up;
   matrix_up      = m1up_x      * m2forward + m1up_y      * m2left + m1up_z      * m2up;
};


Another screenshot:


humm... it only use one core of the CPU.

[Teiman]

I made it!.

Well.. is much crappier than intended. Mostly I suck at QC. But It works.

Standalone (include it alls):
http://zerror.com/mods/nuketest1standalone.zip

Mod (needs Quake, and one of the latest versions of DP):
http://zerror.com/mods/nuketest1mod.zip

Uses all the same keys as Twig (is built on it).
What you need to know is right mouse button drop a nuke, and again explode it. "E" drop a car.





What I have learn:

- DP style is consistent. The mod look cool on all lighting styles/ particle styles.
- A "wave" seems a good trick for explosions, since only a few items are "push" on every frame.
- Limiting what entitys are afected by phisics is good.
- The phisics affects more of what I intended.
- Some new DP features.

On what I have failed:
- Make a good interface to place cars.
- Probably the nuke is still a too heavy hit on lowend machines. Mine is highend.
- I have not modified DarkPlaces to able a nicier looking explosion.

[c0burn]

Those screenshots are awesome fun.

[Chip]

Those screens are simply great! I really need to play with your mod. Can't wait to get home and see what I can blow up. Yee-ha!

[jim]

Excellent, I've always wanted to blow up cars with nuclear bombs!

[Teiman]

It really needs some sounds to be good. Make the sound "impact" the player with a delay. And maybe different cars colors, and other sounds, like carcrash sounds. Also, I made this using entitys and sould be redone with particles.

hehehe.. thanks guys

[Urre]

Cool

Kind of ironic seeing a car in an old version of Twig, seeing as vehicle physics is the feature I've worked on for the next version, and it's already working, just needs a lot of polish and shiny, I think morphed from the Nexuiz community posted some youtube videos of it in action even. Admittedly, I haven't worked on it for a good while now. Maybe I should?
