Phait - Glass
#2240 posted by Mike Woodham on 2005/06/28 13:33:30
Try this link and look at the Glass.txt file:-
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/games/PC/idgames2/quakec/level_enhancements/
It mentions 'transparent, breakable glass'.
I don't have the Hipnotic add-on so I haven't tested it.
Glass
#2241 posted by than on 2005/06/28 16:28:12
I do remember that glass was available in some mod - perhaps custents - but that it was rather crap. What it actually was was an invisible entity with bsp clipping that could take damage. When it was destroyed it spawned really REALLY shit looking white "shards".
Oh, and did anyone ever use that funky moving water mod someone made a while ago? I was really impressed with that actually. There was water attached to a func_train and you could swim in it as it moved around. It was better than q2 water by a long shot.
Anyone know more about that?
Glass, Water

i think custents had glass, but it was totally invisible. The best you could do in quake would be to make a little oriented sprite of a window pane, mostly transparent but with streaks of grey or blue (like in the cartoons) and tie that to a solid entity. Then, create some other oriented sprites of broken glass shards, and when the glass breaks, kill it and spawn a bunch of spinning shards that bounce away like gibs.
The water than is talking about was made by pox, and i remember being really impressed but never getting around to using it. He also had ladders that worked slightly better than the rubicon2 ladders, and i was meaning to steal them but never got around to it.
Hipnotic 'glass'
func_togglewall, toggleable solid see-through wall (essentially 'glass' but without the lame bleeding). usually used in conjunction with func_particlefield as those do not block objects.
if you're aiming for a custom engine for your map/mod, easier to find a decent glass texture (some of the ikbase ones are decent for this, or q2 ones), and give it an alpha value for transparency.
Yeah, And...

Anyone play that level from 1997? I think it was called "The Fly."
Yeah

pox mod with water and and ladders and buttons attached to lifts and all working and it was mixed with the hipnotics I think
I fooled around with it a bit
Wait, Whoa

moving water brushes that you can actually swim around in?? how is that possible in Q1?
Hhhmmm

I tried to made this with func_door (i.e water depth change), ... and water became solid... :( so I guess there's a special feature there... maybe in some pack mods... who knows ? BTW I didn't see it in any Q1 map... :P

it exploits an engine bug where .watertype is not always set properly, so qc can change its value and it will stay at that wrong value.

and, combines with v_cshift to fake the screen blend that normally accompanies water.
Crates In The Control Room?

Phait: I am sure there is a perfectly good reason for having crates in that control room hmm? ;)
Control Room?

It's the ship's cockpit.
I took them out, actually. Still tweakin' the inside.

omg, that sounds cool. I've always wanted to make a level that gradually floods, allowing you to swim to previously inaccesible areas.
Pox Extras Mod

be warned tho, that some features are not compatible with some new engines
Man

some of the stuff pox has put into that extras pack looks pretty mental - particularly the particle systems

yeah, that is a very cool game mechanic. Quake2 had it, but i don't really like quake2's gameplay for other reasons.

Here's the entrance in the first map to my addon:

Might it need any improvement? I'm liking it, but thinking it could use something more.
