wolfedit.

hmmm :)

git.

(repost from base pack ;) 

e;f,b but still, I'm surprised you guys are still using brushes as the predominant base for architecture - I guess traditional id-style mapping techniques will be sticking around for a bit... 

only as long as id franchises do.

and who says static models aren't counted as 'primitives'? 

Quake Map Sources released. :D

I wonder what license they apply to though... 

Just enough of the "WolfEdit" showing there ;) 

But numbers like that suggest you're making stuff that would be done better in some other program unless the editor is vastly improved but I guess you have no choice? 

someone make that news. 

that was fast 

mesh models count as brush primitives in d3 engines too... 

how big a deal would it be to increase the number of sound channels in Fitzquake? 

i don't know offhand. Could be really easy, unless there is a network protocol limitation involved. 

would that break compatibility is what your saying?

just cause i know other engines have that fixed, like tomazquake or, i'm pretty sure, aguire's engine.

one final question, what's the deal with packetoverflow? is there any way to get rid of that? 

I think that's also a network protocol limit. And yeah, the main issue is compatability. But also, just making sure it doesn't crash the game. 

those two issues are my major gripes with the quake engine these days. I hate how sounds will cut out in the heat of combat, or gibbing a ton of things makes all the models flicker.

It's not game breaking, but if there was a way, i'd really really appreciate it. :) 

To get rid of packet overflow, the better method I experimented is to use special progs.dat, like progs.dat I used in "Castle of The Dark Ages" (i.e CDA.bsp).
It was based on spawn64 progs.dat that has a corpse removal function, a special teleport/trigger function. The most important is monsters activation (i.e the way monsters appear in map) by trigger, according to the player progression ingame. So given that all the monsters are not present a at the same time, and that all dead bodies disappear in 5 seconds, you limit edicts count and also packet overflow.
I can only say that thank to aguirRe's help I was able to make something playable without too much problem (at least with FitzQuake)
I hope it will help you. 

I mirrored the full idgames2 from 3dgamers.
Including the planetquake folder of course.

i mean more like having 50 zombies in a room and not having pack overflow when i toss a grenade at them. 

Is that in beta yet?? ;P 

i'm not really mapping much these days. i was playing marcher again a couple of days ago, and got packet overflows on the last 2 battles (by the bell tower, and then after, when i got teleported to the ground) 

So AFAIK aguirRe's engine is the only one that can support such a massacre.. :D 

tomazquake, for one can handle huge amounts of entities on screen at the same time, as well as has extra sound channels.

i don't know if it is still compatible with other netquakes though.

there are probably more engines out there like this as well.

it's just one of those things that would be really nice to have if it could be done properly.
anyway, just rambling at this point.

Nice and interesting article. Well written. Where did you go? What have you been up to? What drove you from IRC and ESReality? The yellow teeth scandal? 

will we see you on "Darkness TV"?

I hope so. I am wet with anticipation as, I'm sure, is the rest of the world.
