Honestly, I don't understand why everybody is dropping XP support. Seems like forced obsolescence to me. What do Windows 7 or 8 get you over XP? For me, there was almost no improvement, and some things (ex: sound driver support) are much worse.

I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but I'm also at the beginnings of AI programming and have some source (in a rough state) up here: http://paintball2.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/paintball2/paintball2/bots/ It's for Quake2, but kind of separated from the game code (in its own lib). I think you...

Felt inspired to fire up Filter Forge again and revise one of my procedurally generated wood textures:

leileilol: Perhaps you should be tempted to write new blender exporters. :) I haven't used much, but the blender exporters always seem to be buggy... though usually it's some minor tweak to fix (I think the HL2 exporter was using an incorrect identity matrix or something somewhere -- swapping a 1 an...

The reason some of the BSP versions don't handle large, open spaces well is because they chop up the geometry every X units, so the more units you have, the more polygons you end up with. This chopping can be reduced by scaling the texture up. I'm not sure how bad it is in idTech 3 and 4, but 1 and ...

Hm... where to begin... Lately, I've been tempted to try out some of those engines as a service deals (Unreal 4, Crytek, etc.), but they tend to cater to more of a high-end gamer, and that market tends to be kind of small (not to mention very time consuming to build content for). Then I get tempted ...

I haven't tried q3map2 in a long time, but last time I tried to use it to make collision brushes out of a mesh, it did not do a very clean job of it. It made lots of tiny, thin brushes - like one for each triangle. Some of the brushes protruded through others, and there weren't clean edges.

Consider my soul crushed.

http://digitalpaint.org/images/devel/dynamic_waypoints4.jpg Oh, what a tangled web we weave! I think the dynamic waypoints I've done are about as good as can be expected. Looking at the results, I can't help but think, "if this were a navmesh, it could guarantee 100% coverage and not have to h...

I always hated the 3dfx look. I remember when I got my first voodoo (doodoo) card, and I was like, "Why are there weird rainbow colored splotches in the lightmaps? Why is everything so blurry? What's with the scan lines? I thought 3D acceleration was supposed to make the game look better... sof...

I strongly recommend manually approving users or manually creating accounts, if you're not. Spammers will flock to wikis like nothing you would believe.

toneddu2000: With a randomly made world, I think you'd be better off with pre-placed waypoints on each playable prefab area. The method I'm doing requires that the player actually traverse the space, so AI would not be able to navigate until the player walked there. Of course, you could still use my...
