I bought this display not realising it only has VGA (no DVI) but at 1440*900 things still look damn purdy.
It's probably like playing at 2X compared to 16X anti-aliasing. If you have never seen it good you don't know what you are missing yeah I know about the analog/digital thing so going by tv tech I was wondering if that meant less aliasing and other artifacting etc or just sharpness ?
Or whether I was way off given tv and montor tech are probably different The download for chapters on kell.leveldesign.org appears to be fuxored. Site says its 15.5mb, file is 15.0mb and I get all sorts of errors trying to open it. Tried ~5 times downloading.
On a side note, is the source code for either chapters or quoth available? Wanted to peek at the code for the voreling =) thx, I'll investigate forthwith; I seem to recall I had trouble with a corrupted zip in the past.
re: source code - and this goes for everyone who has emailed me about chapters or quoth source code - I DON'T HAVE IT :) I never had it, I never needed to since necros was the coder. So, thank you for your interest but please: pester necros ( gods know he deserves it �_� ). attn: necros - please to be receiving source code for quoth and/or chapters, should it be available :)
just stumbled onto this:
http://www.minastirith-project.com/ it's a recreation of minas tirith from the movie as a 3d realtime thing... you can walk around and it looks to me that about 50% of the structures have been finished (most of the major ones are done like the throne room and stuff). you can even hop off the tip of that ledge like poor ol denethor... whee.... i think there's something wrong with my drivers though, because i go from 80fps to 1fps on and off... or just a buggy engine.. who knows. :P still it's fun. Cheers necros. Is the same available for the quoth extras? Wanted to look at those new base baddies for *cough* *cough* a project.
*cough* the original idea was to release the source code for the previous version, everytime a new version was made... but we kind of stopped, so... yeah. :P
qexpo's coming up though... i should really go through the code and clean it up and put a few comments here and there, but i'm so caught up in d3 atm. :S it's funny too, because originally i thought that making maps in a 3d app and importing it into the game was kind of dumb (prefering far "superior" brush construction) but i never relized just how powerful doing meshes out of the editor can be... I just tried it and it was less then impressive IMHO. I have a 2,45 Ghz AMD Opteron system with 1 GB ram and a 6600GT and it ran slow as hell even at 800x600. Seems horribly unoptimised, because as soon as you look at something even slightly more detailed than just box walls, the FPS goes all the way to 1-5. Not to mention the whole thing uses a total of like 3 textures.
Fun idea, horrible implementation. i didn't know if it was jsut me.
the engine must be really busted then, because i will sometimes get about 50fps @ ~400k tris, and sometimes it drops to 1fps @ 100k tris... the drop in performance is obviously not directly connected to the # of tris being displayed, but something broke in the engine. and yeah, it's not textured yet-- like i said, it's not done. still, the geometry is pretty nice in a few places. Correction: In previous Level of the Week reviews, Contract Revoked was omitted on various occasions. This has been corrected in the latest review.
http://planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view=LOTW.Detail&id=414 I actually made two -
www.lunaran.com/maps.php?map=dow-coriolis www.lunaran.com/maps.php?map=dow-tarsis - and would like to do a few more. but don't tell anyone! on the new comp on Ultra settings.
All I can say is quote Keanu. Whoa! I've installed some other fine looking games in Far Cry, Fear and COD2, but this is something else. couldnt spot it in the readme, and dont have my level CD handy to check, does oyur quake engine support
I've yet to see a Q1 map that looks better with coloured lighting than without. But quite a few engines support it, e.g. Fitz, Joe and DP.
nitin: yeah, it's quite impressive.
When the d3 engine is used to its best with all modelled environments it is quite stunning.
