What are you working on?

blinks... woot.
nice job m8

retired from the game coding scene years back when this site went boom, i still do some supportive work in the opensource community (Msys2) from time to time supplying patches and general help with getting things to run.

But good to see this site up and about again

Awesome! MSYS2 is a great project.

it is indeed, and thx.

Scaly demons, maybe changing the legs later to be normal humanoid legs, their walk animation looks kinda strange, alternative would be to make them walk on all 4 limbs and only raise up like this when attacking. They use the human size hitbox but with the FL_MONSTER flag to make them sort of bigger.


Tudor style textures, kinda slow to use if alterating the shapes like this. Normal map a little wrong with the beams not "bumping up", fixing later maybe. Planning to focus on making more textures and levels, polishing stuff later. Could maybe also update the palette, but only update the palette in the glsl shader (which wouldn't need to have a quake palette layout).

Susan, those monsters are great! Looks perfect for an indie game.

Oh hey, hello there.

Still tinkering with Quake (FTEQW) just for fun, as a hobby.
Nice to see some of the old guard back.

... and, of course, happy to see new blood in the community, too.

Hi!,

I am building a vampired mod. With a cool map with day/night cycle and (hopefully) cartonified graphics.

Is awesome to be here again. This is like home

Hi, Tei! Nice idea for a mod. What engine are you using ?

[Teiman]

I have made the map so big it only runs on FTE, but so far I don't have any feature that really demand a particular engine.
I may even "fold" the map so the coords are safe for other engines.

I did tried to add FTE shaders, but is a hard topic, learned a lot and can't even do a "hello world" yet.

Heh, I've been playing with FTE for a good time, although I admit being slow to adopt all the fancy bells and whistles. Just some basic CSQC (mostly HUD/menus customization) and shader scripts mostly. I've been using the Q3A shader manual as reference and so far got things working. Never tried shader fragments, I think they're overkill for my use cases.

There are tons of examples to learn from, but yeah it is not quite as easy as q3a shaders.

A month ago I started work on a Nuclide-lite, that works in standard Quake (including DOS Quake).

It's still in the boilerplate phase, but that's what I've been working on besides the usual stuff.
It will be very class heavy and hopefully point out any issues we have with fteqcc and supporting the old engines with advanced features.

I worked a bit on the new Quaddicted, with hashes instead of filenames as identifiers on Postgres, JSONB, flask, Discourse, jinja2. It's looking good! If only I had more time for it.
