Isometric camera

[Baker]

And Baker, I get what you were trying to say now, after I overlooked the code. I viewed this as a quick tut. My bad.

Lemme tell ya, I am rooting for you all the way. I know you are a rookie, you know you are rookie ... no one questions that. That is where you are today; you get to decide where you are tomorrow --- and I like what I see.

Determination is all. I mean this sincerely. People that never quit always end up making it somewhere. No one ever said the road was easy, and yet you are still here ... and improving.

It isn't about where you are, it is about your determination in making it where you want to be.

I don't think I am a QC rookie anymore. I am a major C rookie though. I have learned alot since now and when I started though, thanks to my Book and you guys.

I am a fairly determined person when it comes to Quake modding. I have every intention to get this game playable. It helps alot when you can visualize the code. Then you can see your goal easier.

One thing that Revamped is really going need due to the new camera, is a Radar. Do you know of any mods that have a Radar(Besides Solitude), Or a minimap?

[Baker]

I don't. Not easily base Quake compatible ones -- yet I do not claim to have played all Q1 mods.

That being said, every entity even in the client has an X, Y, Z location (at least the ones the server decides to communicate to the client). Discard the Z and you have somewhat of a basis for radar.

Although that isn't newbie friendly, in a way that info alone has to be enough to someone doing engine modification. I know that is sort of a shitty answer, but part of engine modification is taking pieces of information and scoring from it.

Well, if you want to distinguish between the enemie being dead or not, this might be useful.

if (ent->health > 0)
{

}

Though you probably already knew that.

This also might be of use.

Code: Select all

player->origin[0]-ent->origin[0]
ent->origin[1]-player->origin[1]

[Mexicouger]

So I was reading in my book, And is this symbole: ->
Similar to just a "."? Just a but more easy to read?

player.origin[0]-ent.origin[0]
ent.origin[1]-player.origin[1]

I think the dots are easier to read, but I think in some instances they don't work

erm

A -> is used when the object you're using is a pointer, a . is used when the object you're using is a reference.

[leileilol]

well it is a Halo

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You said the H word!

[Mexicouger]

erm

A -> is used when the object you're using is a pointer, a . is used when the object you're using is a reference.

Ya, Just figured that out in detail.Hence why -> looks like a pointer.

[frag.machine]

well it is a Halo Top-Down mod

Well, I would never figured that out...
