Yeah, I just tested it and it didn't work. My bad.

I'll upload my light bulbs when i finish them.

Hexen2 does, thus FTE does. I believe it just uses one of the otherwise unused flags to mark that it should. Other than the interpretation of that flag(and the palette) the format is the same. Actually setting that flag from an editor might be awkward, however...

Interesting.... Seems to be this flag, stored in the MDL header :

Code: Select all

#define EF_HOLEY   (1 << 14)       /* Solid model with color 0 */

or just use a replacement texture with an alpha channel, and a shader that states alphatest, which basically comes out the same.

Hey folks, just a reminder that I need help on this project. If I'm going to make a release by Friday, I could really use a hand in several areas. Specifics:

1. I need someone to go through and make Radiant and/or .fgd definitions. QuakeC/editor knowledge helpful.

2. I could really do with a new logo and/or site design. Someone with some art talent could design one maybe?

3. I'm churning out horrible test maps. Some more detailed levels that don't make one's eyes bleed would be handy. These don't need to be highly polished, just presentable. scar3crow is doing the main hub map, but his time is limited also.

4. I've got a bunch of tiny QuakeC tasks remaining, that if someone knowledgeable in QuakeC has some time, we could split them up and be done in half the time.

5. The wiki documentation needs a lot of work. Goes a bit hand in hand with #1. I'm surprised at how much time writing that stuff consumes.

6. Testing - There are undoubtedly bugs right now. Someone who knows how to map could try out the entities and report exactly what is broken. Probably more dependent on the above however.

If I don't get help on any of these, I'll still finish the mod, but it will probably be sometime after Qexpo. If I can get help on one thing I'll probably have enough bandwidth to do the rest myself (excluding logo/site design). Any additional help will ensure a higher level of polish.

If you're interested in helping, post here, hit me up on irc, or send me a private message. Thanks for your time.

I'm starting to do a little research on what features are implemented and what I need to know to use them in maps. Gonna be churning out some stuff soon as I done checking out what makes everything tick. I'll see about writing some documentation on what I figure out.

Apologies for the double post. I've made quite a lot of edits to the wiki recently, adding a lot of documentation, as well as undoing a lot of the vandalism that's gone on. If possible the wiki should have much stricter control of who's allowed to edit pages, or perhaps edits should require admin approval.
