Breakable boxes like in HL1

Postby JasonX » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:53 pm

Has anyone done something similar? Maybe Quake-Life? Is it even possible?

Make a model of a crate for the explode_box, and you're half way there.

Change its QuakeC to spawn splinters and stop the chain-reaction explosions and you're done.

You probably want to check out Quoth 2's func_breakable.

It's fairly easy to code a func_breakable. As an example, Extras r4 has a breakable brush among others like ladders.

Are you sure? I don't think that is a feature of p0x extrasr4.

Quake-Life for certain has func_breakables:

Quoth has p0x extrasr4 func_ladders in it and it manages to be a closed source mod. :roll:

That's a good point. And regardless if it uses or not R4 code, wasn't Quoth released AFTER id making all their QuakeC source code licensed under GPL ? Or are they protected by the previous license ?
I know FrikaC made a cgi-bin version of the quakec interpreter once and wrote part of his website in QuakeC :) (LordHavoc)

its easy just make an explode box spawn models in a random direction instead of an explosion.

Having closed licenses in a community maintained alive by GPL notions is ridiculous. :(

I'll probably check Quake-Life source for the func_breakable thing. Can anyone tell me which features in Quake-Life are FTEQW-specific?

The re-release under GPL does not invalidate the previous license. They can continue to use it if they want. There are numerous DOOM ports which continue to use the original "educational use" license even after Carmack re-released the DOOM code under GPL.
