Nice work. I did a Mass Effect style camera once when I was dabbling. A lot of freedom comes when you use the player/client as a camera rather than a player, and use a basically "dumb" monster as the player character/avatar instead. Bind some impulse keys to make the avatar move, have the "camera ...

depends a bit which compiler and which flags you passed the compiler :)

Compiling with Adobe Alchemy for generating a flash .swc leaves only one option per OS basically... :x For Windows, it's command-line in Cygwin using an Adobe Alchemy patched gcc. I'm sure I could learn more and write some ...

I will do that for my own purposes, yes, but I thought qbism would want to know that his code doesn't compile

When compiling for Flash with Adobe Alchemy and cygwin, and using the SVN of version 0020 I get a few errors:

host.c:913: error: implicit declaration of function 'BuildGammaTable'

common.c:1822: error: implicit declaration of function 'CRC_Init'

common.c:1824: error: implicit declaration of ...

Google is your friend.

Sajt, thanks for the warning but the ability to have random level generation during play calls to me and I cannot resist its siren song! (a little hyperbole but honestly I do appreciate your wisdom on the matter) I have already assumed it's going to be a struggle.

qbism, I hear you on the faces ...

Thanks for the reply. That sounds terrible (as in to implement)... I'll take a look.

I'm not sure if this goes here but...

Is there a maximum draw distance in software quake engines?

I am interested in random map generation such as mapgen and qb-mapgen, and I understand that they are not vis'ed as they can't be. However, what stops the renderer from getting bogged down by having a ...

This should be == not = anyway. You are assigning the value of '10' to the variable 'monsters_killed' when you should be comparing the values with the double equals sign.

Excellent work! Thank you!

SOLVED! I simply used Wally to "merge WADs" and made the HLWAD myself! Duh...


Original post for the record:

Is there any way to make it work?! :(

Wally plays nice with WADs made with a custom palette while TexMex (though it rules) does not. Well... it DOES but the palette file when loaded ...

^^^ this.

Sooooo many cool animation options with a 3rd person cam, and the Tomb Raider example is quite apt.

Well, I was talking about 3rd person view. I needed some understanding on how it could/does work and lei provided a lot of different examples.

Quake mods don't HAVE to be first person shooters, after all.

qbism, I'll check that qc out, thanks!

Hmm, I wasn't even considering multiplayer. In that case, using the gun above the head solution, other players WOULD see that model above your head. Would be pretty hilarious, imo, but certainly problematic.

Multiplayer is not my forte nor what I'm interested in modeling/coding for (Flash port) so ...

Biodude, first person weapon models are different than 3rd person models. You'll notice by browsing through the vanilla paks that the weapon models in first person camera mode are (smartly) only the visual area of the gun (ie. the top and that's it).

3rd person weapons are a different thing all ...
