Thanks Spike. So I guess its possible but with alot of work. When you explained the 2d Doom collision thing, it reminded me of the funct in QC EntitiesTouching (), which is what the doors use to detect collisions with each other I believe. I recently modified that code to detect collision with absmi...

Can anyone here explain this or add to my impression of it? I had chatted with LH about it and from what I understand its responsible for how Q1 detects collisions with respect to setsize in that, only point ,player and Shambler size hulls will perform a collision. As a side note, I have concluded t...

I removed the NODRAW effect, issue still persists. I also tried slowing down the ents velocity to 1/3rd normal speed, make the sound, then return to old velocity, no help. Not sure what you mean by the MAX_EDICTS reference, but I have a regulator that hijacks then monitors the spawn () builtin to co...

Well I was experimenting some more and by chance I merely took the vectoangles of trace_plane_normal in a frame where I am tracelining and saw we could match angles_x somewhat like that if we factor in v_angle. Didnt look good on land but in the water it came out pretty good lookin with the player s...

I have the ent flagged as EF_NODRAW and EF_LOWPRECISION, and thought maybe the low precision was doing it but nope. Now I recall this happening a long time ago when I assigned a rocketfly noise to the rocket model when fired. There were times I could hear someone's rocket flying when it was nowhere ...

Choose their spawn? If you want to draw a representation of the map I would guess you do that part in csqc....or I dunno if menu.dat is a simpler way for your objective. If none of those legacy type free cvars appeal to you I gues you can use registercvar. registercvar ("player1_layout", &...

CHAN_AUTO is suppose to pick a clear channel I believe.....the specs say its wont override a sound playing on any channel, so I guess if they are all playing a sound, the sound wont get played? Anyhow, yes, tried a seperate channel just for the wind, problem still there. Initially I had the ent code...

I emailed LH a few times on this, so far no answer. I believe I have found a bug with DP's new sound feature where sounds now travel with entities. In my experimentation I have some ents spawned that represent "wind"....and randomly travel around open spaces near skyboxes. When they contac...

I decided to try pitcing the player as he walks or runs as per my comment above....as well as trying to match it to the surface angle. BOITH have failed ! lol. Here is what Im trying with pitching the player as he walks / runs...I had nearly the same code in my BOTAI think and he was bobbing nicely,...

In console type: apropos editlight

Apropos will seek out any commands that contain the key term you enter and print them to con, nifty eh?

Nope Xage.... by "they" I mean , I guess the map author > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Petersen I was gonna post a screenshot here but last night I fixed these spawn locations that were too low, and resulted in spawning you into the secret area. So now they spawn in the right map loc...

Still kinda buggered with this. Just at random I decided to load up the QRP texture pack and the issues are gone. Oh and did anyone know there is a secret area on e4m3 that they forgot about?

Update: I took this opportunity toi further tweak my footsteps code. I decided I would map out the player frames where his foot is actually beginning to make contact while moving. Had to map out the axe run frames as well....but its working and only calls footsteps for these frames which fine tunes ...

Similar to what I am thinking, however cvars can be operated by the client. What I am wondering is something that takes any engine specific float, vector or string thats not already being made available to qc, now avaialble, if the correct syntax of the field the engine knows is used. Yes, you have ...

I am putting in provisions for detecting the surface textures the player contacts while walking using DP. SO far I have a good system going, except on this map I encounter completely different texture reports on some parts of the map, mostly the section where the tombstones are and the adjoining are...
