if every GL-based engine uses the 0.5 offset, and QME (the only native authoring tool for quake models?) uses the same offset, then it seems like this is probably worth keeping.

Probably if you want to "fix" this you should have a cvar that can restore the behavior of all other GL engines, since a lot of content has been made now with qME and tested in a GL engine. In fact what content HASN'T been made with qME? 

Yeah, glquake and winquake are just incompatible in this small way. I'd give the tiebreaking point to glquake, only because winquake alias rendering has a bunch of artifacts when it renders far away models and large polygons - the distortion is very high. It's harder to make the case for an exact standard based on an inexact renderer - even though it has seniority.

Disclaimer: I may be biased, on account of having carefully accounted for the glquake behaviour on several models and tools, not knowing that winquake behaved differently.

ps: Loving those force-field walkways sock! 

HAIL SOCK 

fuck, you're just so good at this!

Also Lunaran, what ever happened to the grimy medieval map you posted shots of years ago? 

Sock, that looks awesome. 

Sock, you've made look that even more fucked up and cool than what Neggers does with space maps. Sweet. 

Kind of a Negke vibe. 

yay socks back and has been mapping all this time!

never been a fan of floaty space maps, but it looks sweet. fog is very atmospheric. 

has the most notes of any map I have posted on my quakeguy blog and I only posted it a couple hours ago (35 notes so far)

sock is back 

Stop being the better negke! 

Stop being the less productive sock! 

Stop being a mean Scampie ! 

Sock: the shot is awesome ;) 

Nice pic Sock, look fantastic 

Also Lunaran, what ever happened to the grimy medieval map you posted shots of years ago?

it turned into five of them, with new monsters. dear god somebody help me 

that's the problem I find, it's more fun to build stuff and then expand it than it is to finish it

still I'm definitely looking forward to it 

 

is what i am doing
like this:
no clue, but theres rivets yeah!!

jfrust42 is the answer, like 42 is the answer, like you know the numbers..

and after all we�re only ordinary men... 

anbd the the texture is jf2rust42..
cheers.. 

Amen 

I can see the similarities to Lower Forecourt but the inspiration of this map is from playing MFX's latest map Klein's Bottle. I really liked the abstract architecture and bright floating void feeling. I have never been a fan of black void maps, it just seems a waste of a good skybox opportunity to me.

Didn�t Sock say he was retiring from Quake maps?
Technically I said I will not be doing anymore vanilla Quake maps. I am still working on my ITS mod (very slowly) and I have always wanted to play with a tech themed AI set which Quoth is a good fit for.

that's the problem I find, it's more fun to build stuff
This is exactly where this map came from, a desire to play with abstract architectural shapes surrounded by a cool skybox. The map is technically broken because it lacks any kind of portal/vis data and will only run on a good pc. It seems there are still people running Quake on old pc hardware and this map will be a slide show for them. It might be better to leave this as a screenshot rather than any serious release. 

Especially those 60+ likes I got on tumblr when I posted the image ;)

Peace! Release it, come on.
