Unreal3/idTech/Source

Im confused. Thats like most of them isn't it?

Also what is LUA? Is it used in Blacksite? Nope, that was UE3, I think? Army of Two? GTA4? (I know that used Rage engine)
Maybe Fallout 3/Oblivion? Crysis?

Heh - I should really try another engine as some point if I'm serious though, but Source or idTech would seem like a logical stepping stone for me. Cause (with the exception of idTech5 AFAIK) they use a brush based system. Actually didnt I hear that UE3 used a brush based system, unlike UE1/2 which used a subtraction system? 

Brush based and subtraction are not really dualities. In the first Unreal editor, you cut out a space and build brushes inside that space. It is possible to approach Quake editing with this method if an editor designer so chose to do it that way.

Also idTech 5 uses brushes, but model implementation is very well integrated, where you can drop a .lwo model created in a modeling ap (it certainly wont hurt to know how to use one), and the id bsp compiler will process it as easily as if you had used brushes. Still, the typical approach in idTech 5 is to create the frame work with brushes and
use modeling for detailed objects (all that wicked pipe layout in Doom3).

If you are still interested in C, the Quake 2 game dll is a good place to practice the skills you'll learn on. It is not a sandbox like QuakeC, or even Quake3's virtual machine (though there are few restrictions on C usage with Q3), but a straight up dll made in C. There are a shit load of tuts for it.

Anywhere doing FPS/Action games. But there are lots of places that do casual games or downloadable games or RTS games or RPG games or MMO games... and for the most part don't use idTech or Unreal or Source. 

I see what you mean. Soory, I've just got fps on the brain :D 

Ricky, it's very simple, you'll learn the basics in a few hours and most of it in two days.

This 3 line program should output the squares from 1 to 10 (haven't tested it myself):

for i = 1, 10, 1 do
print(i*i)
end


When you know one normal language, you know the basics of most languages as they are really just slight variations of the same ideas. Hence if you have made some games with BASIC you're already most of halfway there... 

How likely are you to survive?

Was a good book. I recommend it. Nice tapestry of zombie tales from throughout the zombie apocalypse. 

36% survival rating.

Not bad considering really. 

i had never chance to thank Frib personally, but i wanna thank you for the BEST dm map ever
pkeg(fribdev1) you rock dude :) ok. i finally did it 

i'm stuck with that map since ~2000 

36% hmph. I reckon I could up that, based on me consuming Scampie to survive.

Was a good book yeah. 

good questions :) 

being that you live on an island, and could potentially swim/boat to safety, rather than myself who lives in the central of America and would need to escape to the frozen tundra of Northern Canada. 

Hahahahhah!

Yes, I'm drunk. 

but only after skewering the results by stealing my neighbor's boat. 

Had to adjust based on not being in the US (live near coast, etc), but got 43% survival chance apparently. I can (probably... well, maybe) live with that 

exaggerated my wilderness survival abilities. It pretty much comes down to, are you will to eat a squirrel? I never have, but rabbit is pretty tasty, so probably could. 

motherfucker 

I'm ready to join the undead legions! 

Thanks! 

.. what am I suppose to do now ? buy the game ? 

.. it is a book, not a game.. I misread.. or read too fast :P 

kill yourself now because you cant really survive the inevitable zombie onslaught :) 

You could always distract them by throwing frog legs at them. Or stab them to death with baguettes. Heh, imagine french zombies, I mean Z�mbee'. 

ROFLMAO!!!
