The shadow-mapping in RB BFG seems to have more shadow map samples at default that a typical commercial release, but he has the luxury of not needing to care about the low-end. I haven't played with it but have you tried lowering the sample taps? Lol, you want for your mod / game to play as many pe...

Well, according to Mr "Robert Beckebans" the entire renderer from BFG was ported to vanilla Doom 3 for his commercial project. Though that still doesn't tell you whether you need to throw out some vanilla map\asset\script etc features to get it working... (So the word possible may be rela...

I read that doom3 BFG uses the rage engine? And was released as a tribute to doom's 25th anniversary ? Old engine wouldn't work on consoles. And idTech 5 is designed to run on consoles and PC alike. So to bring Doom 3 to modern consoles, and to release some of the idTech 5 to the public (I bet JC k...

What about QuakeForge ? I downloaded a tool pack, and it has some WAD tool in there (.exe). Have you tried that one?

Does Quake MDL Blender add-on work with 2.69 and 2.71+ ?

Ok, it seems like there is an add-on for Blender http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Exten ... /Quake_mdl
Will check it out.

Now just need some current WAD tool.

So I have this idea of making use of TrenchBroom 1.1 (before "new arch" branch gets support for Doom 3 and released) into quick block out level editor for Doom 3. Converting quake 1 map into doom 3 map is not an issue (or at least it doesn't appear to be an issue at this moment). The issue...

I think you are missing the point. Framework is not needed to just build off it. It's needed so people could make "quake" an release it commercially. Build up some cash and evolve codebase by hiring a programmer or researching the subject on their own. Having bare bone framework isn't gonn...

That's why I think it should be modernized Quake framework. People, especially the ones who don't code, can build upon it, and showcase their work to attract programming talent to their team. Also, Quake's code is quite simple, so programmers who haven't modded Quake (surprise - most programmers I'v...

Well, my initial idea was to grab Quake's QC code, clean one (1.06 by Tremor), add proper weapon system (animation wise), csqc HUD, csqc effects (particles, shells, etc.) to offload networking bandwidth, menu QC (since it's a separate .dat in can remain non-gpl), adjust animation system to use IQM m...

No joke hogsy :roll: We've developed and released Steel Storm 3 years ago, and that's when I wished there was a framework. The main issue is menu QC having no doc, csqc having no docs. Anyhow, tutorials / docs are welcomed by programmers. However, indies who are artists would benefit from out of the...

tutorials aren't gonna replace solid and working framework.

What are "setpieces" ?

Do you have screenshots of parts of your levels made with modular pieces?

I wonder if you stumbled upon any art dump from games that use modular geometry for level design (except UT3) ?

Have you tried making modular pieces?

Caulk blocks light, so if these is slight precision loss, you will get artifacts on the walls (slotches, spotting, etc.) because mesh ends up slightly inside caulk wall. That's the experience I had with q3map2. The way I make maps is blocking layout with brushes, using base texturing on them and add...
