The problem is that 'other' in this context refers to the player, while 'self' refers to the powerup. Because this is the touch function of the powerup, that powerup will be self when the touch function is triggered. Likewise, the player may also have a touch function and, when that's triggered, the ...

A-ha! I've got it working!

It turns out that I had an unfinished open source afxres.h or something, that was clashing somewhat with the real afxres. So, if you ever get a similar problem when compiling your resource file, check this file out in a text editor to make sure it's the right one.

Next ...

*If* I ever get the Quake source compiled, I was planning to do some simple engine-based sound stuff. Nothing overly fancy, just surround-sound support and distance pitch-reduction.

Still, audio does seem to be a bit neglected by the mighty engine-coders...

Installing the PSDK seems to have fixed my first problem - a missing afxres.h file. Handy.

Still can't get it to compile, though! The .rc file's the cause now, where it wants the language to be given as an ID number, rather than LANG_ENGLISH. Google couldn't really help me, so I tried some hex ...

Just wondering if anybody knows how to, or if it's even possible? I'm familiar(ish) with the interface, so I'd like to stick to using it if at all possible. The closest bit of info I've found is how to get it running under VC++ 6.0, but steps seem to differ.

If it helps any, it's Arqlite that I'm ...

Second week of December for me, since I've got a driving test in the first week.

I'll join!

Mostly a coder, but I can pass as a mapper or modeller if numbers are short.

What about those of us who are neither multi-, nor single-, but null-talented?

Sounds like you're well qualified to be a project leader!

Hmm, true. Moving brushes may prove problematic, however, but solving it's probably beyond the scope of the tutorial anyway.

I'll play around and see what I can come up with, I guess.

Edit: Silly typo...

Sounds like a good idea to me! It'd be a good way to get junior programmers up to speed and maybe, just maybe, get the attention of some grisled old mappers for a week or so!

Teams might have to be forced to a certain degree, to ensure a good mix of skill levels across the board. At the very least ...

I think I'd rather not let the player go through walls, though. Is it possible to use movetype_fly at all, or is that restricted only to non-player entities?

Hi, guys!

I'm going to write a tutorial for a friend about making a floating camera, like you'd get in a spectator mode, but I'm not sure if my way is the right way.

The most obvious way to fly would be to use movetype_fly, but I never got it to work properly. Instead, I left the player on the ...

Yeah, I'm seriously hyped about Gears. Partly because it's the first SP game from Epic for a while, and I loved Unreal almost as much as Quake, and because it's running on UE3, which I'm terribly interested in. Also, we're yet to get a good futuristic shooter on the 360! The latest trailer's almost ...

Don't forget the various vision modes - they'd be tricky too!

I feel that Splinter Cell pretty much perfected the multiplayer spy game (at least when it was played 'properly'), so I'd rather be remaking a game that had plenty of potential, but never quite realised it. Probably Aliens vs Predator, I ...

I didn't cover making solid entities into physics objects in the tutorial, partly because it's the same as with point entities and partly because there's a bug with it in 2.0!

As for mass, you're free to use any unit you feel comfortable with. I personally measure the mass in grams, but it'll work ...
