Sorry about the vis, but nonetheless thrilled by this map I noclipped to get a similar viewpoint to the pre-release promo shot just to see if it could happen.

What if the client automatically precaches EVERY mdl it finds in path? What's the worst-case RAM? Many large maps use almost every monster and item, anyway.

It should be fairly clean to use. I tried to comment everything, although it's not as good as Mark V commenting! The trickiest part was the network protocol and tracking down modified data types. bsp2 came recently via Quakespasm. I was amazed that it actually worked. Just don't ask about framerate ...

Howdy, still kicking with a minor update (or two or three since I last posted here). The latest source and builds were moved to https://github.com/qbism/super8 I usually play through the latest MapJam to find ways to improve large map compatibility. So far I haven't taken the time to get through jam...

Blending/lighting... last time I thought about it was a while ago, but 'megatexture-ish' brute-force pre-blend was an option given a reasonable amount of RAM. Basically every texture is unique and pre-blended with colored lighting. Can't remenber whose idea it was, probably somewhere on this board. ...

I like the art direction of OpenKatana and the feel of the space/lighting. I've become more of a lurker here, spending less time on coding and more on content for a new project. Here's a couple mapping textures showing the style. Basically they're enlarged from low-res art, blurred and filtered to g...

Have you tried installing a dark codeblocks theme? I've never tried changing the theme but some dark ones are out there.

Dr: I didn't know Wally could to that, playing with the 'marble tile' generator now!

Admin: Can we get a 'quote' button back?

Good to see progress on clang due to the promise of better code analysis and faster compile times.

If it did not complain about the wrong version, it may be a 32-bit/ 64-bit mismatch between exe and dll.

jim: try 32 groups of 8 nearly identical colors (slight variations in HSV) = 256. It may soften color boundaries similar to an old CRT monitor. Great HUD as always.

spike: can blobby be lumpy too? Clay effect.

Monster concept: cratebot. Kind of slow but fires some insta-rail thing and hides among the, umm, crates.

Confirmed to work in a quick test. Great to see a nice open source pak tool.

Original Quake graphics (HUD, skins, map textures, everything) all share a single 256 color palette. That's palette.lmp. Colormap.lmp is a precomputed color table used by the software engine for shading. Hardware-rendered engine replacement textures like png or tga don't use the palette. Unless the ...
