InsideQC Forums

making a gta style clone. lots of bugs and I hate mapping. DPM models are from some old hl1 mod or something. so far I have crouching, reloading, weapons slots and bone attachments working.

with skeletal formats in DP you use bones as attachment points.

But Darkplaces can load halflife maps...
and Darkplaces DPM models are just compiled halflife .smds

There just better: no 512x512 texture limitation, full 32 bit colours, HL2 style vert weights...

The only thing thats really laking is solid documentation on these features but they're all there ...

That is some awesome hands! hey is there a tutorial on how to make hands....all the time i been making are blockish ones
yeah Ben Mathis has some good tips on modeling hands in one of his videos:

Texturing some hands I modeled a couple years ago :?

Is there a way to do a prerendered reflection that only reflects the world and not entities in Darkplaces? this seems like it would greatly increase framerates.

for Darkplaces use "cl_slowmo" 1 is normal less is slower.

take your MD3 model ie "shellbox.md3" and rename it to what ever quake named it, in this case "maps/b_shell0.bsp".

Just import the *.smd into 3dsMax or even ms3d and select the Bip01 bone and delete all keyframes.

Thanks guys, I got it working beautifully:

void() player_smallreload =
{
if ((self.frame > $relo_onehanded_31) || (self.frame < $relo_onehanded_1))
{
self.frame = $relo_onehanded_1; // if your not playing reload animation, start at the beging
}

else if (self.frame == $relo_onehanded_31 ...

But isn't the macro doing the exact same thing? it specifies an animation and then just goes into another void that specifies the next frame. Mine just does the work in one void. I guess my question is, why does a macro not play all the frames at once?

so I started talking about this in the 'what are you working on' thread and decided to move over to the proper forum.

I'm trying to do away with the macros by using self.frame:
void() player_reload =
{
self.frame = $relo_onehanded_1;

while (self.frame < $relo_onehanded_31)
{
self.frame = self ...

na its third person only for simplicity. I think I figured out my problem self.frame value refers to the $frame number not the frame number of the model itself...

Sajt, I put in the self.nextthink so it wouldn't happen instantly, but at 30 fps, am I doing something wrong?

Or you could just increment .frame and .weaponframe instead of using those annoying macros, but whatever.
are you serious? I hate these things! :x Thats why i made this dumb program. Show me your ways, o great one.
tried this and quake didn't like it:
void() player_reload1 =
{
self.frame = 249 ...

just export to smd and compile with dpmodel:
