to (cross) compile fte for native windows from cygwin, msys, or from linux: *change directory to the engine subdir* make makelibs FTE_TARGET=win64 -j8 #this downloads+compiles third-party dependancies as static libraries *msys workaround: hack the zlib makefile to remove its windows-specific error,...

Nice to hear it worked, Doctor (even if partially). Are you using the latest build ? I got the last update from SVN but still figthing with Visual Studio Express 2017 to compile it. Care to share your binaries ? :razz: I just got 5493 (still reports as 5492 ingame), _skyaxis and _skyrotate (*drools...

Thanks for the tip, toneddu2000!

*BUMP* Sooo... about skyrooms. I found this in FTEQW's README : Worldspawn Keys: _skyfog: Controls the alpha value of fog when applied to sky surfaces, set to 0 to have sky ignore fog entirely. _fog: Controls the default fog in the map. This field should be of the form " [alpha] [depthbias]&quo...

Also, monsters are incapable of walking or flying over corpses it would seem (like hitting a brick wall, which is weird in the case of monsters mid-jump; No walkmove / movetogoal can be blamed here), if dogs (and presumably, fiends) somehow manage to land on top of a corpse, they indeed to get stuc...

Are stencil shadows part of the OpenGL ? I always believed they were implemented by the game engines, not some kind of built in extension...

Thanks Madfox and DoctorShadowborg. I should have added that I already didi exactly this change, down to the exact same color index and it works, but visually is not the same as for red blood which is a bit jarring. I had hope that FTEQW could have a trick under the sleeve like a shader or something...

... and got stuck. OK, I had implemented destructible corpses (using FTEQW's SOLID_CORPSE extension) and pretty much everything works as expected, except when a dog does a leap attack and gets stuck on any corpse in the way. Besides, I observed that when items like backpacks (that uses SOLID_ITEM + ...

I don't know if anyone is keeping those plugins up to date (never used Blender), but in your place I would export my Blender model to .md3 and then convert it to .mdl using Noesis, or even use directly the .md3 if your engine of choice is FTE or other supporting the format.

Nice! Thanks, I'll try it later.

I have a question, daemon: is it possible to share the created maps ? I suppose it's mostly a matter of copying the folder content, but is there any additional step ?

Yay! Gotta find some time to play a bit with this again. Swamped on work ATM

I hope someone at Func_MsgBoard reads this and propose a quick map challenge using only cubes.

A bit surprised, as all links seemed to be death. In the past I have collected some of the tutorials, but I'm a noob as html concerns, so I gathered them with screenshots. Now it seems of value as a lot of the quake1 info leaches away, while my intrest only grows. So I started digging in my archive...
