hey, i was wondering if anyone had a WorldToScreen function for quake1, the function itself takes 3d world Coords and converts them to 2d co wards for x y in relation to your monitor, and help or ideas would be great, i have a function in quake that semi works ill post it later on if anyone is interested.

There's the cs_project/cs_unproject builtins in CSQC (clientside quakec) which do exactly what you describe, but CSQC is limited to the DarkPlaces and FTEQW ports at the moment...

you should be able to obtain a copy of the projection and modelview matricies.
just multiply the source coord by those two matricies and you'll have the 2d coord. it'll typically come out as a value between -1 and 1, so it'll need scaling and biasing.

this is the 'project' function available to csqc.

ive pretty much got it except for in relation to the players foward origin, if im on the same Z axis or i keep my mouse 'hovered' it works but any change to those 2 result in mixed results, ill clean my function up and post it, maybe it will help
