What stops you from selecting conchar size based on resolution. Unless you are actually making a mod with new HUD elements. My idea was to create higher resolution versions of as many assets as possible (conchars being only an example, a complete menu overhauling with customized gfxs is part of the...

I usually never play at less than 640x480, and I normally play at 640x480 or 800x600. But why would you want to eliminate those options? Seems like you'd leave 'em in for the odd player who has an old computer or likes the old timey feel. The problem is not the engine itself. I was planning to use ...

I'd appreciate your feedback in this poll. Note please, that I am not asking if you guys want higher resolutions (I already know the answer :D); instead, what I want to determine is if I can safely drop the lower video resolutions supported by the original SW / GL Quake in my next project. That's wh...

Well you could add an extra field called .last_think which would store the last think that an entity had before the ai was disabled through an impulse. Then you would set the current .think function to SUB_Null. To turn the ai back on, set the .think function to .last_think. I'm afraid it's a bit m...

Hey Cheap, I guess would be cool to have a complete list of resources to be replaced and who is working in what, don't you think ?

Wow, thanks frag.machine and Dr Shadowborg, super good pieces of advice and links. I really appreciate it! :) I realize I really know little about mapping and it's fun learning. I'll try it out again today and will keep you updated with the results. Oh, and since I'm at it: what does "cluster ...

if you've seen this post you'll notice i've started retexturing the dm levels with Free (NOT FREEWARE OR PUBLIC DOMAIN, I mean Free Software) textures from OpenQuartz and OpenArena starting with DM4 hopefully retexturing all the dm levels will give a good base to start replicating the rest of the t...

(10 days later) Mmm, vis worked ok on some smaller test maps, but now I have this bigger map which somehow won't vis. I tried seeing if turning it into a Q3 map would help frame rate and had the feeling it did, but then I had some issues with liquid textures (rendered as solids) and the skybox didn...

I know this mod (Total Destruction). Actually it's just the player using the zombie model, so the trigger should be fired (and it is in NQ).

Sin added a hacked-up M$ TTS library hookup in a 2001 patch , it was wacky listening to the chatlines in multiplayer UT2004 also has speech on text. problem is, most TTS libraries are non-Free, and are GPL incompatible. And the few GPL ones don't have support for Windows. :( Yeah, I know. I already...

Not a tool, but i used to play the "morph" mod, so can make levels as fiend. This can be in use for a puzzle game, because different quake characters can do different things. fiend -> jump zombi -> cross lava/spikes/fire etc. That's a great concept for a potentially awesome mod that someo...

Liked a lot your demo, Entar. Nice job. Also, just voted for your engine. Good luck showing those people that our old dog can learn a few new tricks yet.

A phosphorescent paint gun, so if you shoot a player with it, he will glows (or be always a full bright model) in the dark. A ghost gun: shoot to somebody with that and he becomes unable to pick anything (weapons, ammo, medikits, etc) or interact with the world at all during some time (a possible co...

Another thing that keeps the sound dept to evolve is the lack of good and easy to use GPL sound libraries. Too bad you don't have something like FMOD to easily attach to an engine and add echoes, fades, doppler and another cool effects... :roll: SDL_mixer doesn't seem that bad to me but I haven't h...

Random things I don't think have been done in Quake modifications or maps: Blood splatter that decals the terrain? (Dynamically- shoot a grunt and see his bloodstain on the floor and the wall behind him) Check. Waves on water/slime/lava? Check. Q2K4 and alot of other engines has it. Discarding boun...
