are there edict limits in D3?
i have a map i'm working on, and it's getting rather large, lately. does anyone know about problems larger d3 maps can run into? (it's all brushwork, no premodeled areas like the hell levels) ...necros resurrects that mod.
Kell, monster_ etc. is still your mail? I was wondering if you'd received mine. You know those little bubbles that people put in or underwater in Quake?
How do I put them into my map? I can't seem to find them in my Entity list in Worldcraft. Better yet if someone could cnp the text to add to my fgd file. No limits that I know of. How large map are we talking about? 20000 brushes, bigger?
woah... not that many-- lol! more about 14k~ or so.
problem is it's no where near finished, so i could see it going as big as 20k or more. there's a lot left to do atm. i was just asking so that i'd know in advance. thanks for that bit of info. :) I have to modify a lump file (i.e conback.lmp) to create a custom console background. I used a tool called GFE (Game File Explorer) to export and save the bmp image embedded in the lmp file. My concerns is how to create a lmp file from the modified bmp file ? I guess it exists, at least, one tool that is able to perform this feature, so what is this tool (or these tools) ?
Thanks in advance. adquedit can also do this, though it is buggy and has been known to erase your data in certain circumstances. Otherwise it's a nice tool.
I actually wrote some command line windows tools that convert to and from czg: TexMex is installed on my PC, but I didn't check yet the feature. So thanks for the tip: I will check it this evening
metlslime: Yes, it would be great ! Thanks for the quick reply ! mipdip and qArt are the same program, but qArt is the name of it after it became a commercial product. It was offered by the same company that offererd qED and qME i think.
there was a time when i had to use qart, for mipdip wouldn't start anymore (or i was too dumb to fix it). now, both have been obsoleted by textmex anyway.
to stop a weapon/item from rotating (minus QC, of course)?
Thanks in advance, Neg!ke :) with some obscure func_illusionary/info_notnull model technique, whereby the acutal weapon (if it is supposed to be picked up) would be placed in a hole underneath it, with an illusionary + clip, or maybe a skip wall, only deep enough that its bbox stays some units above floor level. the weapon then has to killtarget the fake model when upon pickup.
might not work with a func_wall, for the item would likely drop out of the map. maybe a fast skip door pushing it up and thereby also making the floor solid would work better in this case. of course this could also be done by having the weapon being pushed into the player from a hidden closet the wall, or let it drop from the ceiling (model-item dropping does not work with darkplaces, though), but these solutions would be even more visible to the player... I not sure I understand, Neg!ke. Perhaps if you made me a sample map with some examples...or even a "complete" SP map with a few examples...or how about a 8-map Q1 Episode full of examples, then it would be clearer :)
Ok, I've just been looking through the source and readmes on Aguire's site, and have found a list of Quake engine limits. However, I am not sure which of these are increased, and which aren't. I have a fairly good idea, but could someone be so kind as to correct me:
// Data-restrained limits #define MAX_BSP_MODELS 256 #define MAX_BSP_PLANES 32767 #define MAX_BSP_NODES 32767 #define MAX_BSP_CLIPNODES 32767 #define MAX_BSP_LEAFS 32767 (8192) #define MAX_BSP_VERTS 65535 #define MAX_BSP_FACES 65535 (32767) #define MAX_BSP_MARKSURFACES 65535 (32767) #define MAX_BSP_TEXINFO 32767 The bracketed parts are the limits of standard engines as far as I can tell. Perhaps some of the other limits have been increased. Aguire, please correct this list if it wrong ;) Currently I got this output from my last compile: ---- WriteBSPFile ---- 11217 planes 224340 36426 vertexes 437112 16427 nodes 394248 3923 texinfo 156920 29246 faces 584920 31759 clipnodes 254072 7357 leafs 205996 35086 marksurfaces 70172 130679 surfedges 522716 66440 edges 265760 87 textures 1258432 lightdata 0 visdata 0 entdata 152870 Tyrann's skip tool is taking out a couple of hundred faces, but that's not enough considering what I am going to be adding. I still want to make the map run in Fitzquake, winquake and glquake (currently it works in all three, no problem), but I have a couple more important areas to add, so perhaps it is impossible. I am not too worried about clipnodes, because I haven't really done the clipping yet, so a lot can be saved there. What the hell is going on with marksurfs though? The map is working fine, despite exceeding the marksurfs limit. The numbers on the right hand side are the size of the data, right? Metl: Any chance of a version of Fitzquake with increased surface and clipnode limits? I've don't even care if it doesn't support the new protocol, so long as it loads my map ;) Thankfully, the map still looks decent in bjpquake. Lucky, as soon as I go over the marksurfaces limit on my map, it crashes fitzquake. Fortunatly I've been able to lower them quite a bit thanks to aguirre.
got any marksurf lowering tips? wtf are marksurfs anyway? Just surfaces? What are faces then? same?
