PD is hard to find, I would suggest creative commons instead. And for that check my recommendations in the music thread or be more specific.

I'm pretty sure Mike Woodham used it on his last map. Not bad stuff either (egoraptor and harry patridge have both used his music)

Warped View
#12839 posted by sock on 2013/04/25 03:40:21
When the player is inside of a liquid (water/slime/lava) the view screen warps in and out (probably not the right term) is there a console command to enable this effect if not in a liquid content? I know about screen tint console command v_cshift.
#12840 posted by metlslime on 2013/04/25 03:54:12
r_waterwarp in some engines.
#12841 posted by metlslime on 2013/04/25 03:55:07
oh... sorry, this isn't what you need. You want to enable the warp in air, this variable can only disable it when in water.

I recall there's a power up in Quoth that does it...

But you can make the player drunk with some console commands I can't remember just now. C shift and Bob speed or something.
I usted them in a�n e3m4 remake During the posponed section. Will dig them out and post in a bit.

Completely Wrong

It's a single one - v_idlescale.

This is not quite correct. It appears this way in Darkplaces, because the engine automatically applies view warping when v_cshift is used, but this is not true in all engines.
Huh
#12847 posted by ijed on 2013/04/26 02:32:33
Didn't know that. Is that for the Trinity?
#12848 posted by necros on 2013/04/26 02:45:06
actually, on second thought, my last post might not be entirely correct.
I noticed it on a different powerup I was making, but that powerup uses the same cshift values as stock liquid 'haze' colour, so it might be that DP is trying to fake waterwarp on 'fake' water effects (ie: if a mod tries to fake water with cshift).
#12849 posted by sock on 2013/04/26 11:41:48
Thanks for all the feedback, I went through the Ftiz source looking for clues. I found all the v_cshift stuff but could not work out where the warp effect was coming from. I assume it is a point content check somewhere and a special routine to do the warp effect.
@ijed, thanks for the console command, that is very cool, I will try that on lower settings so the screen is not completely static. It is a shame there is no console command for the warp, it would have been the icing on the cake for my setup.
Look Forward

Skill Levels
#12853 posted by mechtech on 2013/04/29 04:49:27
I was wondering... A program to read the .map file. Assign the quake monsters a difficulty rating of 1-10. Have the program count each using the appear flags. You could get the relative difficultly at each skill level.
Another idea. Is there a way to keep score? Count up total damage done at the end of a map or even have running total.
#12854 posted by necros on 2013/04/29 05:17:41
That would only give you a very general idea.
Consider an ogre on the same height as the player vs an ogre on a ledge above the player.
Consider fighting a shambler with LG vs fighting a shambler with a DBS.
Has This Ever Happened To Any Of You?
#12855 posted by Cocerello on 2013/04/29 10:54:27
Resuming, Worldcraft 3.3 + qadapter by Baker doesn't save.
Actually, it's more like it reverts to a previously saved stage.
Example: just yesterday, i was mapping all the evening, saving over the old archive always and testing the changes frequently, and closing the program 2 times on that time frame without reseting. But after seeing that it's going to be dark soon, i save again and close the Worldcraft. I remember i forgot something to do, i load the program and the map again, only to see that the map is at the stage that it was in the middle of the evening. It just choose one random one. I don't think it's related, but if i try to load the .map on Quark to check if the truth is that the last save is still there, it gives me an error and doesn't let me check it. I'll try with Radiant next time. B the way, the .bsp is fine.
I do think it happened again some months ago, when i copied a different map to another computer. This time it reverted to a stage one week previous to the last one when i copied it back into my computer. But i'm not sure about this last one. I still have to check into that other computer.
If anyone knows of this, it would be a great help some advice, if this keeps on, i'll have to quit WC.
Thx in advance to anyone that answers.

i save again
I call BS!
I have lost work before from not saving. You're not the only one.
Maybe I Haven't Explained Myself Well
#12857 posted by Cocerello on 2013/04/29 13:42:57
I'll be more precise.
What im trying to say, it's that EVEN if I SAVE the map a LOT of times, it goes back to a previous save, not the penultimate, one or 2, 3, ... even before of that one. Not that it happens all the times.
I'll repeat the first example:
- 0) Run the WC
- 1) Work in my map.
- 2) I save the map.
- 3) Close the Worldcraft, completely.
- 4) Run the Worldcraft again, the map is there as i saved it in 2), no problem.
- 5) Work again on it
- 6) Save again the map
- 7) Close the Worldcraft again, completely.
- 8) Run the Worldcraft again. Load the map, and the map is like it was in 0), but we know that WC saved it in 2) because in 4) we saw that the map was saved.
Is it clear now? :)
Count Up Total Damage Done At The End Of A Map
#12858 posted by slapmap on 2013/04/29 14:39:20
Yeah, wonder why we still don't have a QC or engine mod with more elaborate stats a-la DM: damage done/ received, accuracy for each weapon, items picked up etc. Would fun for players and helpful for designers.

I have no idea! That's fucked up. Are you sure you installed Worldcraft 3.3 and not Witchcraft 3.3? Have you tried using Worldcraft 3.4 instead? I don't know, but if that's a bug, maybe they fixed it in 3.4.......
