Ok, this works, but in Worldcraft you need to set the classname in smartedit mode by adding it as a new key, rather than just change the classname from the drop down list.
Awesome tip btw! We really should write a new guide to Quake mapping that includes all the hacks and tips and tricks to let people get the most out of the game. It would be awesome to have a nice clean guide instead of having to wade through this thread or the hacks thread to find stuff. I made a little Shambler teleporting test map. There is a weird little problem...
When the Shambler is teleported, you can see him move very quickly between teleporter and destination. I've never noticed this before. Is this a problem with this hack or a general teleporter quirk? https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2HO-DwxAPCnYUpSOHdSSHBPMFU I can't explain why this happens exactly, but it seems to go away if you move the teleport_destination entities 8 units up.
Actually, I noticed it wasn't happening at one point, but I didn't know why. I guess it was when I moved the teleporter_destination up to access the teleporters and didn't move them back.
maybe because FL_ONGROUND will be set when it's setorigin'd to the new position and then lerped?
that's really weird that just moving it off the ground fixes that. Seen this happening with blinking scrags.
It seems to be caused by modern engines showing the space between the smoke and the mirror, which the old engines weren't precise enough to reveal. But, it sometimes happens, sometimes doesn't, and I'm not sure why. The position is just moving over the duration of 0.1 seconds, seems that sometimes this is visible. Can you check if it's an interpolation issue by replicating and then toggling r_interpolation (or whatever it was called in engine of choice). What might be needed is for interpolation to be reset for any entity which has Setorigin called on it.
If it was a constant problem :(
I've noticed it affected by framerate fluctuations, although sometimes not. So I'm going to try the hit it with a hammer approach of nulling the mesh of the monster for the duration of a teleport. Shouldn't cause anything untoward, although come to think of it, it could break !walkmove checks, especially for custom bbox monsters. are you teleporting the shambler less than 100 units? There is client-side code in quake (and extended in fitzquake) that detects moves greater than 100 units in a single frame and treats them as teleports. In regular quake this affects the demo playback lerping, in fitzquake it also affects the r_lerpmove lerping.
Your post than.
In RMQ we see it in RMQEngine, which is a fitz fork, so the less than 100 units thing should be what's affecting the self-teleporting enemies by the sound of it. by calling setmodel or setsize you might be able to force it to disable lerps for that frame (not tested.)
it doesn't occur in my actual map... only the testmap. The test map used >100 distances though, but not by that much.
anyone know if it's possible to rotate torches etc. so that they appear upside down? I vaguely remember someone made a speedmap with lots of upside down stuff inspired by alice. Whether this included torches I dunno. I suspect negke knows how to do this if it's possible :)
I am looking for 'pretty' skyboxes of setsets and/or sunrises - think happiness as opposed to doom laden. Can anyone point me in the right direction (and I don't mean go west young man)
When making quake 1 maps with gtkradiant 1.5, where do I put the texture files? And do I leave them as
You need wad files directly in your quake directory, e.g.: Z:/Quake/id.wad.
You also need to set the key "wad" with the path to the wad in the worldspawn.
