Hi, A Hint face dynamically blocks visibility without affecting physics. . An Antiportal face statically blocks visibility without affecting physics . Like Hint, Antiportal lets you create a specific BSP split. Unlike Hint, the area bound by the brush face does not create portals between the leaves ...

If I recall correctly, I hacked something into ET that forced brush model entities through the same lightgrid path as other entities so this could be possible. Was possible to use it as a multiplier against the lightmap to get rough dynamic lighting on doors/platforms.

It's back up.

Erg, it's down again. Silly Xen...

If you're curious, this is what I've been working on for the past year or so:

Oh, I never let the domain lapse--I just haven't had hosting, or the time to set it up.

@Kat: Sure, I might take you up on that offer. I need to bring up the old akiba box first and see if I have a newer archive.

@Obsidian: Heh.

It's less dead than it was yesterday. I'm rsyncing from various backups I have here, so it's slow going. The new host is a Xen instance at Equinix in Chicago, so it should be a bit faster to boot.

A friend of mine said he'd colo a box for me to host it, I just need to get it over to him. I've been pretty busy with work+life lately, haven't had a chance to reserrect the old site.

Thanks for your kind offer, sir.

I've since moved to the part of town where I photographed most of the sources for those textures. A lot of the buildings I originally shot have been torn down in the past couple years. It's all new developments--office buildings, condos, UCSF extension, etc. I'd love to go back and shoot some of the...

Right. After much delay, I'm working on it...

Sure, with modern hardware. With what Quake 3 had to run on in 1999, it was way too slow to transform/project/upload that many lightmaps to the videocard and still maintain a reasonable framerate. All other tech (normalmaps, specular highlighting, etc) aside, you could do it pretty easily with a two...

There is, but I forget what I called it. Something like q3map_preserveVertexLight or something. You'll need to set your shaders up to use rgbGen vertex/exactVertex to use.

Definitely use q3map_forceMeta. The last few versions of Q3Map2 should automatically do that on models that exceed the max verts threshold though...

That's odd. lightmapFilterRadius should work for all lightsources...

Is it lightmapped?

Nice lighting. Nice lighting indeed.

Huh? Dead like me? What's that?

First off, if all you're changing are the bot files, then you don't need to mess with any MD3 models. And you don't need to pack them into a pk3 file to test. That's the last step, when you're ready for distribution.

Yes, yes it is. <bike porn> Hooray, join the Rohloff club. I've got one on my mountain bike. I'm not keen on the grip shifter, but I'm planning to (attempt at least) make a trigger shifter with my CNC mill. If you can and do, sign me up, particularly if it can clamp onto a 26.4mm road bar. The hand...

I made some test maps using 1 or 2 layers of fur for Enemy Territory, to be mixed with the q3map_foliage models. It looked OK, but was an FPS killer in the end. I used alphaFunc, and not blendFunc for best performance. I imagine with q3map_alphaMod terrain, you could have q3map_fur on top of that, o...

36 pounds (16.3 kg) to be exact, plus the weight of the case. So it's done, it ended up requiring custom fender stays & rubber shock mount, a bar-end wedge made from a wine cork, and a couple modified cable noodles to get everything to route correctly. Woof. http://ydnar.typepad.com/photos/frank...

Yeah, that's true. At least this will resemble a fixie (aside from the million cables going to the rear end). http://ydnar.typepad.com/photos/frankenbike/image031.jpg http://ydnar.typepad.com/photos/frankenbike/image030.jpg Edit: The shifter is a standard Rohloff twist-grip shifter, mounted on speci...

rgbGen exactVertex ignores overbrightbits. It will generally be brighter under default settings.

I'd use rgbGen vertex + alphaGen const.
