Re: Media of what you're doing

For future reference, you should type all that into the video description, so people watching your video don't have to watch 8 minutes of you typing with 1 minute of actual demo. :offended: Sorry, that is pretty derpy... Interesting concept, though I think you also need to keep in mind that real pl...

Forgot to post this here. Comes with an overview of what I'm doing at the beginning - note you should watch it in 720p for more legible text. I'd like to actually turn this thing into something that can be included with Radiant and produce a demo map showing how to use it, but the amount of engineer...

Re: Creating 6DoF player movement

It looks to me like what is going on in the Forsaken video is the same movement as the spectator in Q3, only with a slight rotation when you start to strafe. I would search through the code to see how the spectator's view is being handled. As you note, you can access YAW PITCH and ROLL so you should...

Re: Quake3 - vec4_t - colors

obsidian wrote:There is a bug in GtkRadiant where the colour values aren't properly being converted by the colour picker, so choosing a 50% value would result in a normalized value of 0.49609... or 0.50196... because of some dodgy math and failing to increment.
Is that on the issue list somewhere?

Re: Media of what you're doing

Ahh, yes, the engine uses the entity number as part of the int32 sort key for the draw surfaces. You could fiddle with removing some bits used by the shader number (SHADERNUM_BITS is 14) and adding them to ENTITYNUM_BITS (which is 10). 16384 shaders sounds rather generous. Thx for the suggestion......

Re: Media of what you're doing

The localents are stored in one big pre-alloced linked list, the max is defined at the top of cg_localents.c - pretty easy to up it seems. I don't think there is a restriction on their resulting refents. I upped the localent limit to 4096, but then I hit the overall entity limit and get an error me...

Actually here's a better shot of what's happening - unfortunately I hit the entity limit almost immediately :(. Is there any easy way of upping the max entities, or is that going to be the pain in the ass I think it is? Edit: I think I just just add polygons directly to the scene instead of creating...

Re: Area Portals and Hint Brushes?

As we talked about on IRC the rendering geometry definitely isn't getting chopped by split planes. However, intermediate geometry is actually chopped up during compilation, which seems like a point of confusion (for me at least). Hint planes are split planes with a higher priority for selection.

Okay I see... didn't read the question correctly. Hint planes should be chopping geometry in half, they're just regular split planes with higher priority (AFAICT).

Re: Screenshots

I agree about the fluting on the plasma thing. Something more uniform like straight with rounded corners would make more sense/look better. Or maybe multiple windows into the blue plasma, each straight with rounded corners, but the outer ones having a shorter length (if that makes sense).

Re: Area Portals and Hint Brushes?

I always thought that hint brush planes actually cut up structural geometry when they are extended into e.g. walls. But after some though that does not seem to happen, only the "empty" space in the map gets cut up, right? I probably knew about this, only forgot, and was adding hint brushe...

Re: Area Portals and Hint Brushes?

I wonder how consistent local hint is - I would guess there are some weird cases where the local hint gets selected as the split plane higher up in the tree than the containing room?
