Team Xlink linked me up this once. Didn't want to lose the URL forever ...
Note: I don't see anything GLQuake specific in there.

The night is young. How else can I annoy the world before sunsrise? Inquisitive minds want to know ! And if they don't -- well like that ever has stopped me before ..

Well, does this actually work?
I was shooting the air next to an ogre with the nail gun and getting blood sprites in Q2K4.
I was curious as to see this in action. Or am I doing something wrong?
sv_perpoly_collision was 1.
This one has me so curious that I am dying to see it in action. In particular the excitement is that I notice it isn't GL specific and I'm wondering about the possibilities of a server using it.

Yes, indeed it works. Problem is that PPC actually won't work with rockets and nails because this:
Code: Select all
float MOVETYPE_FLYMISSILE = 9; // fly with extra size against monsters
I know FrikaC made a cgi-bin version of the quakec interpreter once and wrote part of his website in QuakeC (LordHavoc)
I'll play with it some more then.frag.machine wrote:Baker wrote:Well, does this actually work?

Darn, looks like it is only certain types of collision.
I was hoping it was all alias vs. alias model, but I am standing on the top of the grunt.
Projectiles --- I can understand but maybe that can be altered ... a task for a rainy day.
[One gem I noticed that your interpolation doesn't have the classic "load a game and see frame 0 for a split second problem" -- JoeQuake doesn't either but I haven't been able to determine what change or why from there.]

It's very likely that I applied some fix from someone else for the original interpolation tutorials (Tomaz I suppose, Q2K4 borrowed a lot of features from TomazQuake and QBism), I don't remember. I apologize to the author for my lack of credits in the READMEBaker wrote:[One gem I noticed that your interpolation doesn't have the classic "load a game and see frame 0 for a split second problem" -- JoeQuake doesn't either but I haven't been able to determine what change or why from there.]

Whoa, you scared me for a minute there. I thought you meant PPC as in PowerPC (old Macs, Xbox, etc), as in endianness issues.frag.machine wrote:Problem is that PPC actually won't work with rockets and nails because this
Here is an interesting scenario for you to ponder before you try that. Something sits on a grunt's arm. Then due to animation the grunt's arm moves upward.Baker wrote:I was hoping it was all alias vs. alias model, but I am standing on the top of the grunt.

to be fair, that applies even if its a rocket or nail, sometimes it'll just move through without hitting anything at all. Thus tracelines are really the only reliable use.
Bones or whatever can have a radius and would thus permit non-instant hitmodel stuff, plus they can be directly controlled too, and with ragdoll it all works out.
In DP and FTE, hitmodel is activated based upon SV_Move/Traceline flags (in the nomonsters argument), rather than being an extra argument to SV_Move/foced by traceline.
QuakeWorld generally doesn't load non-bsp models, but NQ should already load that stuff anyway (which is why vanilla glquake -dedicated crashes).

Even with these limitations the lightning gun and the shotgun are the most insidiously evil weapons in multiplayer Quake.Spike wrote:to be fair, that applies even if its a rocket or nail, sometimes it'll just move through without hitting anything at all.

It might be interesting to add this + enable as a dedicated server option to up the ante on those weapons.

The other thing about hitmodel (for tracelines) is that it increases lag's game-ruiningness. As a (not so) extreme example, If you have a 200 ping, and the grunt is moving his arm upward or doing some other lateral-to-the-player's-line-of-sight movement, the player is going to have no chance of hitting his arm, except by accident, or if he memorizes the monster animations in detail and predicts them himself. It ends up with arbitrary-seeming hit or miss decisions, which are frustrating to players. Of course, in real life nobody should be expected to be able to hit a moving arm like that. But this situation exists in all subtler cases.
I don't know how much "unlagged" would alleviate this, but it probably would help. The other option (other than doing weapon traces client-side like Cube) would be I guess to use fattened hitboxes...
Half-Life had hitboxes roughly per limb in singleplayer, but used single big Quake-style bboxes in multiplayer, presumably because of this problem.
Just another complication to makes one cherish more the simpler days of 1996.

Realistically or even not, I shouldn't be able to shoot the air above an ogre or fiend and get a hit. It is entirely silly. This effect is largely diminished by the fact that most ppl would never do that since they don't know and would aim for the body.Sajt wrote:The other thing about hitmodel (for tracelines) is that it increases lag's game-ruiningness.

Collision at a minimum at least among non-map models shouldn't involve "hits" well above or to the side of a non-Shambler sized monster. Admittedly this is a non-problem in non-coop mods as the Quake player model aligns rather well to the sizing of presumably that hull size.
