I agree. Smooth scrolling textures are incompatible with Quake's software renderer architecture, but they're worth it.

The easiest way for software renderers to implement scrolling textures without sacrificing lightmaps is to scroll them in the surface caches, similarly to.how WinQuake scrolls the overlay of sky textures. A default scrolling speed of 32 or 48 texel coordinates per second could be very effective. WinQuake's sky overlay scrolling looks jerky because it scrolls only 8 or 4 units per second. 

yo mankrip, are you planning on releasing your engine anytime soon? or at least your SW quake improvements?

the world could use something better than engoo. 

There's Engoo, Super8 and MarkV. And the latter two have way better compatibility with community maps than I can hope to achieve.

For dithered software rendering improvements, there's Makaqu 1.5.2. It still uses the vanilla WinQuake rendering architecture, so its changes can be easily ported over to other engines. 

Yes, I'm aware. But I'm also aware of the improvements you made to RetroQuad and I wanted to make use of those for my mod.

I find it curious, since in your twitter feed:
> Nothing would make me happier than someone willing to create a new game using the technology I'm creating for Retroquad. Nothing would make me happier than knowing that my tech inspired someone to do that.
> There's nothing I crave more than that in my life.

But at the same, you're not sharing a page where we can buy the engine, or sharing the source-code, or anything like that. It's basically just yours, yet you want people to use? 

Just put up an itch.io page or something 

At this point, I should have completed at least the renderer. But I didn't.

I prefer to not give excuses, I'm lucky to have not died yet.

My life doesn't let me fulfill that dream.

I've got a vision for the Retroquad renderer, several other improvements have already been planned out, including some massive optimizations, and it pains me to see that vision being not fulfilled. If I managed to get at least the BSP renderer finished and fully rewritten, I could consider my "life mission" in this engine complete.

But I am lucky to have simply not died yet. 

Ok, sounds like the beginning of that kind of cheesy inspirational speeches, but heck, whatever.
There is that quote by da Vinci that "Art is never finished, only abandoned."
Maybe take a break from your engine project, look after yourself so you do not die, and later on when you feel the urge, pick it up again.

At least for me that often helped with getting things done in the end, even if there where years of halting the project in between.
On the plus side those projects often benfited from the new experiences and knowledge i collected in the meantime.

holy crap that map looks awesome, so intricate. 

Map looks awesome, can't wait to play it!

the small brick variant used there. 

It's one of the wall textures from Doom, modified to resemble the Quake swampy brickwork. I nicked it from UDOB. 

Hi!

After allmost more then a year my first mod "Adoria" is going to become finished.
Now I'm interested in what you guys think about it and ask you to help me to get the job in its final lap.

Every demo or review is wellcome.

You can download the mod here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MKt75IHzlGx69ebkfzKkBcXtWtFMYQte/view?usp=sharing

The mod has been tested with "fteq64" because Quakespasm 0.92 cause crashes with explosions on multiple custom debris.

You can expect a story, based on id-classics, different environments, different music tracks in one map, references to films and games

In the meanwhile my tasks are:

1. creating one more room "the greenhouse"
2. creating the final voicetrack that closes the story
2. polishing up the environment
3. polishing up some of the music tracks
4. polishing up the gameplay

best wishes! 

Anyone else getting this error on the first map?

Mod_LoadTexinfo: 90 texture(s) missing from BSP file
Host_Error: Mod_LoadModel: 9 not found 

Well I'm done with modelling my octopush, but my skin file gets twisted. Maybe it is my configuration.

Here is the creature, I added a qc :

I'm not sure bit in game my skinfile gets ruined. Has to do something with the odd size 68x616. 

that is divisable by 16, 64x560 or something like this. 

The height limit for skins in GLQuake is 480. 

I lowered it already to 64x306 but it doesn't matter. The half size picks up the black outlines.

I think it's the result of my chasm UV flipping. 

Skin width must be divisible by 4. Your skin is 614x68.
273 frames of animation is also pushing it. 

Yeh, lots of frames. I should stick to the 255.
I'll ook for the size again.

Thanks for the hints!
