Looking pretty polished at this point. I'm impressed.

I disagree, polish is the one thing it looks to be LACKING. It seems complete, but very unpolished. Just to mention a few thngs that give it an unpolished appearance:
the unblended muzzle flash, the lights being in ungodly places, weird ...

I took a class on Adobe Illustrator, vector graphics are just plain fantastic. Also, as far as open source tools (as an alternative) go I find Inkscape is miles closer to Illustrator quality than GIMP is to Photoshop quality.

DP can't load a vector format (thats not ttf) can it?

Would it also be possible to just check which tag the trace_endpos is closest too?

Urre, so if I got this clear, when using SOLID_CORPSE (as I use this for my players) tracelines will collide per-poly? And the bbox is only used for world collisions?

Uh... All of em?
I haven't released a mod since I modded for mohaa. I've never released a quake mod. Just done tons of small unreleased projects :D

Why I never released?
Lack of experience to finish all the parts that need done, I do as much as I can do easily for the most part then start to lose ...

TF2 is a cartoon game :P That's one direction you could go in with Quake that would turn me off and pretty much everyone else too (I would assume) except those who just play DM with fullbright skins and stuff.

Anyway, all questions of modelling are moot if the animation is not good, and not one ...

No one said anything about going poly crazy.
I'd take the source engine for example, games like TF2 are not so incredibly detailed, but the curves in the models are clear and clean. That is all I need pertaining to models, to spark interest. (granted sources art pipeline sucks...)

Texturing in my ...

effectinfo.txt is not much of a secret, it's kinda been around for a while now. :?
Though, people don't really share their own effects to often.

Its not in qc whats so ever, the default menu is all coded in engine. You can make your own menu system with menuqc but be prepared to start from scratch.

^ Grass rendering

Yea I wish I could get an in engine foliage rendering using glsl like the gpu gems article, but I don't have much ability in making engine edits to DP.

Quake Dog playing in the grass. Just screwing around with the q3map_fur, I would like to know a more realistic way of making the grass. (I don't need a whole lot of it, just needs be tall enough and efficient enough to fill in your average indoor room size)

You can change a float anywhere within it's scope as long as you didn't initialize it when you declared it.

In C++, you'd declare a constant by using the keyword "const" but in QuakeC just initializing a variable makes it a constant that cannot be changed.

Also worth noting AFAIK you cannot ...

.float is a field float. This means every entity has its own variable float value you can set, such as health. You use it like: self.mydotfloat = 1;

While a float is a global variable, it is not different per entity. An good example is the float time; This does not mean it cannot be changed, it ...

but bringing Quake One to this standard will take many time, and will create more and more problems. The good thing in Quake II is that it dont uses QuakeC, i know QuakeC is good, but dlls are in this Case (engine side) better.

Excuse me!... NO! This is wrong on many levels . QuakeC makes quake ...

black and white can be done using the same way, except with the cvar r_saturation. Fade it from 1 to 0, 0 being fully saturated/blacknwhite.

I know that. Any idea for contrast? DP-only? Any idea for any screen effect like sepia, blue tint, green tint?

EDIT: It's actually r_glsl_saturation in DP ...
