Yea, thats just it, I don't want a winner/loser lol, I just want the fan to go "I not stopping for anyone! move along!" lol

One thing I wanted to do is find a way using the particle command to maybe draw a smoke cloud that gradually dissapapates , in the area where the explosion took place. Or draw it using a new sprite model that represents a decent size smoke could with frames that eventually evolve to show it ...

I don't think water receives lightmaps at all from the compiler. You could take the suggestion from a post in this related topic: http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4733


Liquids don't emit light, but they are always fullbright ingame. The only way I could think of to make a normally ...

Yea tried that. It might be easier to understand if it would actually work. I tried supertorso and nothing happened, i don't see any of the models or anything....

Well thats not my problem. I just didn't put a blocked function for it, my only problem is the player can block/stop the fan blade. I want to know if there is a way (im even content with a hacky one) that would ALWAYS push the player just like Halo 3's wheel. I might try to combine avelocity ...

To do this properly, I know I'd have to do some QC, not sure why I would want to avoid that. My idea is a large fan as seen in Halo 2 and 3 Zanzibar/Last Resort. Insta-killing the player would ruin the gameplay just a bit in my opinion. The Halo fan blade always pushes the player and won't kill them ...

Is there a good tutorial or documentation how to use these properly in darkplaces?

i assumed that already: EDIT: Sorry misread that. leileilol
I'm pretty sure Darkplaces doesn't support ALL of the Md3's features.

In dpextensions.qc, all i see about md3s is:

//DP_GFX_QUAKE3MODELTAGS
//idea: id Software
//darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
//field definitions:
.entity tag ...

So as the title says I want to have various heads/helmets for player models and maybe even NPCs. What would be the best way of doing this in Darkplaces? I am going to assume that Md3s are my best bet, unless there is a better way? If Md3 are the best way, could anyone point me in the direction of ...

Hello Ghost_fang,

in fact you need a different cubemap for every inch of a map.
You can save a cubemap-set in any point of a map.
So the cubemap-set will only fit for exactly this position.
If you move 1 meter forward, it is already "wrong".

That is why it is important to find a cubemap-set (or ...

I'll just recycle this topic for a related question: Is there a way to make the dpreflectcube change for each map? So the cubemap is accurate in relation to the map its projecting?

Hello Ghost_fang,

some month ago, this was a big subject over at quakeone.com.

I made a downloadeable version of what you intend to do:

So i've been (trying) to mess with shaders and so far no luck at all. I searched for hours for documentation or examples, mostly 404's or megaupload links. All i want is a simple reflection and/or refraction on my v_weapon like v_weapon in this video:

leileilol is right, I seemed to be a lot more productive while learning through trial and error, not only was I independent, but I learned much better from my mistake(s). Its very unproductive to go straight to the forums when an error occurs, ask your question(s), and wait for a response, IF one ...

oh and no i didnt use your crappy always crashing adding weapons code XD

well if I make 2 assumptions, 1.You used the weapons.qc in its entirety from him, 2. You are using kurok psp engine, I can tell you that you probably didn't delete TE_EXPLOSION from anything that calls it. TE_EXPLOSION ...
