1: thinks are probably not what you want in csqc. if its something that should be happening every single video frame (so its actually smooth) then you should generally use .predraw instead, or just fade the alpha as part of drawing it. if (ent.alpha > 0) { drawimage(foo); ent.alpha -= frametime/tota...

the vanilla software renderer had a strict 1:16 ratio of lightmap:texels (for mip level 0, which also means all wall textures must be a multiple of 16). This ratio persists into glquake despite glquake using no surface cache. The file format basically says absolutely nothing about lightmap coords or...

just use menuqc. implement the core builtins from https://github.com/xonotic/darkplaces/blob/master/dpdefs/menudefs.qc while skipping the all the network+font crap, while throwing in sprintf+the easier fte_strings builtins. hopefully autocvars too. using DP's key constants can be annoying, although ...

svc_spawnstatic ents(eg flames) don't get reset every network frame unlike players etc, so make sure that anything you change while rendering gets unchanged after.
I assume you set a watchpoint (although tbh 'point' is a misnomer) to see when the ent's origin changes?

personally I just get a black screen with the vulkan build, oh well. frankly there's no advantage to vulkan here - vulkan excels at high drawcall counts but this thing explicitly keeps drawcall counts low, while current drivers waste their time being poo, so expect half the framerate from vulkan at ...

pvs is still good for reducing overdraw and texture switches, but recalculating everything that's visible every frame is a lost cause. http://triptohell.info/moodles/junk/onedraw.zip is my toy engine (or rather, renderer). source is included. you can compile it to use either bindless textures or arr...

if all you want is to rotate a model around its own origin (aka: pivot), then yeah, avelocity will work for most movetypes. this is how grenades and vore missiles etc spin in quake. if you're setting more than one component at a time then your rotation will be non-linear of course, but that's a gene...

if you can't use .avelocity with movetype_push then you can at least do it with the following maths: vector pivot = self.origin; vector startangles = self.angles; vector endangles = self.angles + self.avelocity * frametime; float pitchscale = (self.solid==SOLID_BSP)?1:-1; //stupid bug. should be for...

rewrite movetogoal and walkmove to use traceboxes forward, and as part of that check the ents that they come in contact with.
or just add a tracebox/traceline after those calls to do it for you.

frankly the biggest issue is getting the monster to walk towards the button instead of the doorway.

the analog triggers report values between 0 and 255, yes. just consider them pressed if they're above 128 and depressed if lower. buttons = (uint32_t)xinput.buttons; if (xinput.lefttrigger>127) buttons |= 0x10000; if (xinput.righttrigger>127) buttons |= 0x20000; and then pretend it has 18 buttons in...

the vanilla source was made for msvc5-with-masm(sold separately!), with some extra steps in the project file to convert the .s files to uncommented(and thus totally unreadable) .asm. iiuc, masm is now included as part of msvc itself nowadays, so things are much easier to get going. it should normall...

[nq]progs.dat and qwprogs.dat differ in: 1) system globals are different, which gives you loadtime errors (at least in vanilla). 2) builtins differ a little - or at least bprint+sprint got a few extra args. particle( got removed, and multicast+stof+infokey+logfrag got added, or something. 3) all the...

the original version of csqc didn't support movetypes at all (note that the behaviour of thinks depends on movetypes, so thinks didn't work either). DP's implementation does support thinks but without regard to movetypes, so don't use MOVETYPE_PUSH because you don't really know if it'll use time or ...

I'm not entirely sure on your exact situation, but here goes nuffin... 'the' viewmodel isn't normally known to the csqc except via stats. you normally have to just assume that its at pmove_org, if that is also actually known to your client... otherwise you'll have to check what you set VF_ORIGIN to,...

first of all, sorry... This is one of the things I want to investigate. The renderer uses the BSP tree order to automatically sort the surfaces of the map, so why not use it for sorting the entities too? because its slow, at least in hardware accelerated engines that prefer overdraw to cpu usage. I ...
