And here I find myself wishing for the ability to see the IP address again just to see if all these anonymous users are the same guy trolling. 

What is the reason for allowing anonyposting? Surely spam would drop to a tiny fraction of current levels if only account holders could post, right? 

- Allows people that want to post but don´t know if will be joining the community, which are usually lurkers which are usually double the number of registered users. If they begin to post easily it will be easier for them to finally join, and we don´t have a surplus of users here on Func, even less recently with the migration to Discord. The more ways to help with that the better.
- Allows to post even if forgetting the password or with account problems. I was in both situations myself.
- Allows for faster posting or posting without having to worry about the password being leaked for those of us that use many computers, with several being public. Have been in this situation some times.
- Allows to post on the work with less problems. I know there are several that do this.
- And the most important: why not? Also, and most important: most of the problem is about people being more hostile to anons that to registered users no matter if they say the same, and we are quite hostile already on certain topics. The problem is no big but its not uncommon to see overreacting when an anon appears.
- And there are many others, really. 

I only sort of half agree with your post but you do make some valid points.

Maybe a worthwhile change could be to just not allow the Name field to be blank. I can't think of a single reason why anyone wouldn't want to fill in the name field unless it's a shitpost. 

80% of the anon posting I'm seeing is anti-anon trying to make some point. Where is all this malicious troll shit posting? I must be reading the wrong threads. 

hi bob, you must be new here. 

(and yes I am aware of the irony) 

I thought that too, but passed on saying because what that would change is people filling it with anything to pass through that requirement.

I can't think of a single reason why anyone wouldn't want to fill in the name field unless it's a shitpost.

Fear of verbal reprisal or harrasing from the most vocal parts of the community when talking about certain topics that are considered taboo, or those considered holy by some fans. Or to summarize, cowardy. 

i think i can solve that. A random question, let's see ... if i turn a brush entity like a trigger into a point entity to avoid a limit, does it still keep the bbox? Does the player need to go to the point to trigger it?

By the way, the previous meessage was me. Forgot to put the nick. 

I was thinking about it from an anti-spam perspective. I'll concede that if blocking anon posting is not an option, then I'm all out of ideas of how spam and shitposting can be reduced. 

Entity Enemy Help. [EDIT]

I've been searching for information on how to make monsters attack other types. Is there a way to do this within worldcraft? I can't find the entity index online

IIRC, in vanilla Quake the .enemy reference is cleared by the QC code during entity initialization. You need custom QC code. 

I had a thought just now...if you make a trigger hurt, and set the .owner field to the edict number of another monster, then drop a monster into the hurt trigger, and cleanup by killtargetting the hurt trigger soon after...runs off to double check T_Damage code.

I know it is a bit of a creep, but I've been rumbing into the QTest file and I wondered if it would be possible to get access to the progs.dat.
As there is no progs.src the file bounces off as soon as I try decompiling it.

For what it is worth, I would like to play some SP maps in it, but there is no way to reach the bsp files as they all are in a different shape.

I know it's a silly question, but I just have that old fashion feeling how it would look like to add all given monsters in a usefull way.

Now it is just a stand-alone for DM with a rather broken way to use the entities. 

I use Quoth2 for my new map. How can I make a pendulum using info_rotate? 

qtest's .dat format is slightly different. from what I recall, the opcodes are mostly the same, it gains line number info, but it also lacks information about which variables are locals and which are not. if you were to adapt a qc decompiler, it would just end up treating all locals as globals. I don't think there'd be much else of an issue in tweaking a decompiler though.
however the bsp format is different too.

iirc, TimeServ made some tweaks to FTE years ago in order to run qtest's .dat paired with bsp29 maps. Whether that still works (and whether the map's entities have changed too) is a different matter. It doesn't support qtest's bsps (issues with surface triangulation), and I have no idea about the hud. Its also not software rendering. 

The qtest progs.dat is 312kb. I don't think there is a monster.qc included, as a small comparisment showed.

I took the first test1.bsp, which is "the place of the two deaths". In the original Id dm I placed some monsters, and then took both bsp files. With Texpath I could add the monsters to the test1.bsp file, but it immediately gave the "higher than 311kb buffer" warning.

So I think there is only info about weapons/ammu/health and deathmach players.

I tried decompaling with proqcc.exe -dec progs.dat but it ends up with "Error opening defs.qc".
No idea how to use FTE for decompiling.

@digs - Maybe not what you want, but here's the
doe pendulum qc. Maybe that helps, but it's not rotating.
