Playing back Quake 3 demos is complicated slightly because there are so many different versions of the game. However the DemoShowCreator utility solves this problem by automatically playing any demo version available (except the original q3test demos). Download the latest version of Quake 3, and De...

There is some info about the 2 patches: http://rage.wikia.com/wiki/Patch_1_PC http://rage.wikia.com/wiki/Patch_2_PC http://rage.wikia.com/wiki/Tweaks edit: for example you could add the game cache file folder as a softlink to your ssd (if that isn't already on the ssd). Hopefully Mod tools come soon...

I guess people did not know if the low res textures are a bug or intended. After installing 20+GB most people expect high detail everywhere. But most things are blurred on close up. Can't wait for next game with this engine though, looks highly realistic if your not getting to near. There is s setti...

The idea of a tiered system would be good for a competition system. On the other hand for public servers, it could be just enough to have the transparency. It could show in scoreboard the calculated 'skill'. (:D the functionality should be there from the bots - not?) While it could show on a separat...

Should be possible to decompile the map, extract the part you need - but that is most cases not legal. There is a nice tool to make md3 from map. I think md3 is nice if you want to reuse same model, or have a animated one, not for backing into the map. http://forums.warchestgames.com/showthr ... -4-...

Well yes, but when you use multiple patchmeshes, they should not have _holes_ as shown in the first pic.

I wonder if its a feature of Enemy-Territory, but there it works well, when the patches which do align - have the same amount of control points and are matched up perfectly.

can be bullet time, but also faster
One silly idea: A map where more and more monsters come, and the game becomes faster and faster. How many seconds do you survive? Seems to be difficult to find some use for it, since it would affect everything.

It seems strange, that it gets wider the higher the tower goes.
I turned the pic you posted by 180°, and I instantly felt more comfortable looking at it. Maybe add some fundament - maybe a big rock where it is on..

@Sock Try with a low -tresh value to get rid of the pixeled edges. The reason lower values of -thresh are used are for when you want more accurate phong and bumpmapping. Lower values = smaller triangles = more samples per luxel (lightmap pixel) = more accurate normal = smoother shading If you decomp...

An idea for a entitiy.
Like func_gravity but for timescale.
So that a mapper can modify the timescale ..

About the lightmap difference, the documentation says it does generate a shader for each lightmap.
shader script q3map_{mapname}.shader
If that is the case, maybe that shader is bad ( or uhm incomplete )?

Its the entities from enemy-territory, with extra infos.

nice

And I had another look, for a tool handling tim files..that romhacking page is great ressource for that..

a plugin for gimp:
http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/553/

and a tool which comes with its sourcecode:

q3radiant_202

@sock
round pillars might look better. It looks like you had to save polygons - imo.

Which well-known game?

Official plug-in set for importing and exporting TIM Psx images in Photoshop or any compatible program (like ACD See):

I have not tried and tested the file formats.. e.g. if its 24bpp or whatever. But it did run under win7 and it has a menu where you can convert to TIM from BMP.

I checked q3map2 source and there is some extra for external Lightmaps. If you have not yet- I suggest to try q3map2 from NetRadiant, but I guess that won't fix the inconsistency; I do not understand the code - hehe; yet NetRadiant has updates to it. In any case it should be possible to mix differen...

Is this something usefull? http://shaderlab.com/q3map2/2.3/readme_previous.txt 2002-07-09 2.2.0-b12 Larger-than-life lightmaps are now supported, up to 1024x1024. Add q3map_lightmapSize H W to a shader to use. Lightmaps are stored in maps/{mapname}/_lm_NNN.tga and a shader script q3map_{mapname}.sha...

IMHO it has fantastic graphics, every piece of the world has looks different. Its a sad thing that there is no high res textures available yet. I hope for a extra DLC with high res textures and world geometry + if its even possible for the id tech5 engine, enable certain world physics. That I really...

I am working on getting NetRadiant to compile native on OSX, it is very difficult as I lack alot of knowledge... but its interesting and so I continue. So far I struggle with qgl.cpp, and will struggle a while longer probably - until I learnt more.. There are few ways to get also older Radiant versi...
