Depending on how things go, this could happen this week.ceriux wrote:Iv found tutorials for implementing md2's but not md3's i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to make up a tutorial for it. id be extremely appreciative if who did would. thanks for if anyone does!
That reminds me, I need to drag that one out from wherever I've hidden it, finalize it and post it.Baker wrote:I know MH has a mostly written tutorial for md2.
Changes are located in almost exclusively:ceriux wrote:oh dont rush yourself. like i said im leaving around the first of the year. my needs arnt that important as to those of the entire community!
takes a while though i had made some very massive changes to get shadows etc. to work on the new code i started out having two different rendering sections one that handled nor mal mdl and one for md3 the latter code had all this wrapped up in the same function (was pretty messy before)
