I'm working on my engine port and i've decided to drop QuakeC altogether and use pure C, or even an external DLL in the future, for the game code. Does anyone know where to start on this? I mean, just the basics like the ScratchQC project: loading a map and putting a camera there. What are the funct...

Does that really matter? He gives a pretty good overview of the codebase, that's the idea.

Has anyone seen this? http://philipbuuck.com/announcing-handmade-quake

It's for camera bob, there's no influence on the weapon model based on player input.

Implementing a subtle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_curve for the bobbing was the way to go. And i was inspired by this video to create the "weapon weight" effect:

I'm dying to see OBJ export with proper material assign.

No Linux support out of the box, too much DOS stuff.

Using a shader I can get affine texture mapping and other nice effects. Unfortunately, I discovered that DP is a pain to customize shaders and the overall pipeline. I'm sticking with QuakeSpasm because it's much easier to hook my own stuff. At the cost of not having DP extensions, though. But, so fa...

QuakeSpasm doesn't have a software renderer. I wanted to use my version of WinQuake, but i can't make it work in 64-bit systems: http://forums.insideqc.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5414

So i gave up and decided to fake the style using a modern engine.

I'm trying to make DP look a little more like software quake... Do you guys know any configurations that can help me use square particles, disable model interpolation, disable texture filtering, etc?

I forgot about QPong and ActionQuake.

Why not build on top of something much more versatile such as the Tesseract engine? It's rock-solid, has a much more permissive license than id tech's, very very easy to add new gameplay logic (since it has just the barebones) and the code is very well written.

Where's the linux/bsd socket code? net_loop? Also, what's IDGODS?

I'm trying to understand the Q1 networking code in order to make it more portable, but i have no idea what those files are for. Can anyone give me an overview of how the game communicates with low-level system parts? Is there any kind of abstraction? I was thinking about replacing it with enet or so...
