It's not possible for sounds to travel as they are ebing played. The only way would be the rocket retriggering the sound as it moves along...

if (targ.flags & FL_ONGROUND)
targ.flags = targ.flags - FL_ONGROUND
This can be done a lot cleaner as targ.flags = targ.flags - (targ.flags & FL_ONGROUND); as demonstrated in the armor pickup code in items.qc

It can be done even more cleanly if the ~ operator is available (which it is in C), but ...

Normalizing a vector scales it so that its length is 1. This is a technique that's often used to obtain just the direction of the vector, without its length.

Strange why that might be the issue...

(1.7.666c) Always Run doesn't increase backwards speed.

This is both an issue with the lightning gun code and with the engine-side implementation of TE_LIGHTNING2.

What the lightning gun is actually doing, is shooting 2 beams parallel to the original beam. There is a page on SDA that documents where it goes wrong, but the fail starts when f is ...

That seems to be the biggest use of it. Would be very useful to have just for that purpose. Especially for testing edge cases...

I've used FTEQCC since I started modding, back in 2005. I too use a batch file to compile.

Well... we could tell you, but if we did, would you learn anything?

the naming isn't what's important. it's the frame order.
This seems to confuse many people. As I explained to someone else, the frame names in the model were generated by a program that read the QuakeC and output the model file. You can use whichever names you like in both places (and even have ...

There need to be more examples of modding features to be included still.
Agreed, and I think this brings us back to LordHavoc's point. Modders desperately need to get involved and shout about the modding features they want included; it's not sufficient to just say "give me more vague kinds of ...

There is a hard limit of 8 function paramaters that can be passed to a function. Modern QuakeC compilers allow you to extend that, but it's not possible to send more than 8 parameters to a builtin function.

We have our own implementation of the grappling hook.

Impules only go up to 255. 998 becomes 230 and 999 becomes 231. Make sure that you're not clobbering other impulses.

Centered random?
