Adjust model scale in-game

[JasonX]

Is it possible to change a model scale in-game?

[mankrip]

Makaqu, Darkplaces and other engines supports the .float scale field in entities.

Makaqu also supports a .vector scalev, which allows for scaling the entity along the x, y and z axes individually. Dunno if any other engine supports this one.

By the way, in Makaqu these doesn't work for BSP models (yet), only for SPR and MDL.

How difficult would it be to implement such feature on WinQuake?

[mankrip]

IIRC it's just a matter of adding the same kind of protocol changes that other things like .alpha uses, adding a couple fields in one of the header files (can't remember which one right now) used by the renderer, and adding and changing a couple of lines in r_alias.c and in r_sprite.c. It's really easy to figure everything out by just doing a few searches through the code.

I added this to FitzQuake once, basically copying the steps to add alpha entity support. It's pretty much what mk said.

I think it would be awesome If PSP Quake had Something like this.

An engine wise implementation is possible with this tutorial:
