... my latest project first....; then maybe....hhhhmmmm... if I have time, I could participate ;) 

i would be interested, it's just that doing puzzles in stock quake is seriously annoying. even quoth isn't all that great. maybe i've just spoiled myself by just coding up whatever i want whenever i want it, but i just can't get psyched about doing puzzles without that ability. :( 

..please don't under-estimate yourself ;) 

I do not mean crazy puzzles, more map exploratory ones. I should try to make an example. 

Do you have something like a maze in mind ? 

I like the sound of that. Particularly with a few monsters thrown in to keep players on the toes (and enhance the atmosphere) and some cool fresh designs. Get Neggers on the case. 

is there some document out there that explains how the quake sprites are loaded? i've been thinking about making some kind of sprite editor because the one in adquedit is pretty dated (as adquedit itself is).
i dunno if i'd be able to do it or not (since sprite files aren't plain text, but rather actual data) but i figure it'd be worth a shot. 

I don't know of any documentation, but frikac's Fimg program can edit them, and I think the source is available? Otherwise I guess the engine source has loading code that should suffice. I also have an unreleased spr2pcx command line tool that could be useful if you'd like to see the source for that. 

I once went playing when I made the GLDoom sprites converting in Quake. All I could find was an old sprites.qc

Something in the logic of the frames goes beyond my knowledge. Then I found FricaC FirmG which was an outcome to add the Doom Sprites.
Here on Q10th-Anniverse:

i feel like such a chump now. been using adquedit for sprites since forever and fimg is about one billion times better. -_-

thanks for bringing that to my attention. :)

Gotta love it. Just spent hours tweaking and optimizing my map to lower the edict count so that it wouldn't exceed the limit on the extra game mode where lots of stuff happens at once on mapstart. Then I marginally changed a gameplay situation to see how it would work out (basically only removed a counter and relinked a few corresponding relays) and suddenly the edicts load is down 20 (30) points for no apparent reason. Hooray for the waste of time and cut entities.
The pointe is that almost the same thing happened to me before when dealing with the bmodels limit... :P

Though it's always amazing how much you can do without using many additional entities, making ents execute two actions at once...

gb: shut up. ;) 

gb didn't shut #19024 up.
Hope he'll make it to the next 40. 

There were some new uberengine under development. 

There is, but jdhack is too shy to release it. 

 

is there a command similar to 'profile' in darkplaces? 'profile' seems to be removed. 

Why don't we have a comics thread? Does the book thread count?

Anyway, 'Lost at Sea' by Bryan Lee O'Malley is a most excellent stand alone piece. Cats. 

and just make a shrimpy and paul thread:

...Dogs. 

is that supposed to be!?!?!? 

for my 7 year old pc, and when im running quake with 1920x1080 resolution its seems too , hm ,high(tall), whats deal? (i'm got 16*9 monitor) the standard 1280*1024 looks good, fat and all that jazz, or is it just me? 

btw, i've expected somewhat higher performance from my new video card (agp fx5500-256mb and 128bit) instead of an old mx 440(64-64)


ps, i know, i know i have to buy a new PC....


hmm, addendum, the version of driver - 175.19_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql.exe

maybe i should change the driver ???
i got also
175.16_geforce_winxp_32bit_international_whql.exe
and 94 something...


help needed 

i'm gonna connect the monitor via dvi cabel , instead of vga, i hope there's will be a difference 

With such an old card, using the latest drivers is not recommended. In many cases you get worse (sometimes considerably) performance. You should google around for a hint at which version might work best for your card, or at least which versions might be worth testing. Modified driver packs are worth a try, too. For example, the modified nvidia drivers at NGOHQ.com.
