I promise I'll look for it again more thoroughly, maybe I even manage to finish the darn thing this time.

That would be great
Thank you very much.

Hello frag.machine,

Your post reminds me of the screenshots you once showed us from your custom start map for original Quake. :)
I think it was end of last year ?

You maybe remember that I asked if you could share it with us, or even better continue to work on it.
I am a big fan of your custom ...

Hello ajay,

I never noticed that fog will stop at walls. Standard fog is usually everywhere throughout the map.
That also applies to fog with z-height-limit.

I once talked to LH about a similar topic:
A fog, that can be caught inside an invisible box so to speak... (with defined X/Y/Z limits)

You ...

Nothing more to add.
I fully agree.
There are not many Q1 mappers with such a talent and sense.
It is 'quamazing'

I do not understand the meaning of his words (together with the screen) though:
Rock Knight Sword!

Thank you very much for your posts and explanations.

Hello,

I didnt want to start a new thread for my small question.

It always bothered me, which of these 2 lines have more randomness, or if the engine interprets them equal:
1.) foo = random() + random() + random() + random() + random();
2.) foo = 5 * random();

Both lines can create foo values ...

Hello Nahuel,

So that is why it has become silent around you....
You are sitting day and night in a dark room, working on your wonderful games :D

I am a bit confused by all the different games and their titles you are working in parallel:
- Black days
- Dead Morning
- Hideous
- Waste
- ...
You ...

ajay i bet if you were to open this skybox up in photoshop and mess with the hues/brightness it might look pretty nice.

I like this skybox very much as well.
If this one is not spooky, which one is ...

Hello reckless,

Thank you that you still care about the poor Win XP users :)
Yes, Microsoft 2012 compilers tells us to update to a new OS.
And I think that Win7 is really a good choice.
... if only the installation and settings of all the additional software would be quicker.



Hello ajay,

Hello ajay,

Yes, the fire in both clips from Chip is basically the same.
The bigger fire has different originjitter values (and a higher count). That is basically the difference.

I wrote some words how to include custom particle effects here:

Hello scar3crow,

Yes, while recording and watching the clip, I also found that it looks somehow *wrong* that the corpses only spin counter-clockwise.
It uses .avelocity = '0 130 0'.
Even though it is not much noticable with low corpse-health, I should make it random if it spins counter-clockwise ...

Hello scar3crow,

here is a clip from the improved condition:

This time I left out all the replacement files for the clip, so that you can see the original Quake world.

I raised the corpses health value significantly higher ...

Hello mankrip,

Your tip works very good :)
I now reset the corpse (when beeing shot) after 0.2 seconds into last death frame again.
That looks a LOT better now.
Now it doesnt randomly remain in the third last frame, which *can* look weird .

Your rollback idea is great!
Now the "ragdoll" movement ...

Hello,

I am trying to bring a * feeling of ragdoll * into Quake, without using replacement monster models.
This is my first atempt:

I used GYRO and Wazat´s semisolid corpses as base.
By giving health to corpses and switching randomly through the last 3 ...

Yes, what leileilol most probably meant is TE_FLAMEJET (or EF_FLAME).

It belongs to the existing additional effect-family, together with EF_FLAME, EF_STARDUST, TE_SPARK, TE_PLASMABURN, TE_SMALLFLASH, and TEI_TEI´s.
DP supports these effects to be added to an entity directly as an .effect (used in ...
