It was working just fine a moment ago but now at the time of this writing it's giving me a 403 Forbidden page about accessing some "vbseo.php" file.

What in the world is going on with that site? 

 

 

It was good when it, err, nevermind. 

Particle For Lg Blood Or Sprite [EDIT]
Posted by Bgnr [82.154.143.194] on 2017/06/20 15:49:56
Hi to all :)

Recently a fellow player gave me a rocket explosion sprite, s_explod files, its nice for competitive gaming.

Can i do the same for LG blood, some simple fast load sprite, or custom particle?

What name should i gave to the files?

Some file specifications or some specific file editor?

Thanks for your attention, btw I'm on Ezquake 

 

Quake blood uses pixel particles, no sprite or texture, only a number to reference the pallet color.


Unless you use DarkPlaces. 

There might be a way to hack it in with effects.txt. Not sure how though. 

Seven @ QuakeOne.com knows a lot about that. Baker here has done some research into it while testing particle effects for QSS. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think not all engines support effectinfo.txt. DP & QSS do but the guy said he runs EZQuake. 

there's lots of good content and enthusiastic fans there, glad to see it back 

 

Hi Qmaster
Thanks for your kind reply
Ezquake uses Joequakes particle system, it seems.
So a blood.tga image file can be used, Im not sure about image requirements, like pallete or alpha channel, Im no IT wise
I will try using that
A sprite would be faster in loading, since this is about playing performace
But i will try it, i I'm succefull, I will post the follow-up

Thanks and have a nice day 

Use index color 255 (ugly pink) for transparency, otherwise an alpha channel (mask in gimp) will do.

I am considering a remix of an id map for the 9999 jam. For those who have done remixes in Quoth or AD did you literally use the map source to start with or did you just build by hand?

Would it be considered bad form if I used the id mapsource as a starting point? I am planning on making big changes so it won't be a lazy re-texture.

Would appreicate opinions. 

In the vast majority of cases, you're better off starting from scratch than using the id mapsources. Fixing the brushwork errors alone (of which there are lots) can take the fun out of it. 

Heh, I didn't even think of that. Good point. I make enough of my own errors.
