That scripting does look powerful, but it all revolves around doing things with entities and so forth within a level. If scripts or variables within them don't persist across a level change, then it would be patently impossible.
how's it going?
You finished your art degree yet? What are you up to these days? I'm tired. Working late AGAIN :( /me goes home than: Almost done. Few more semesters before I have to reconfigure my life again.
blitz: that was IRC Everyone Else: It's not Coriolis. That design was geared around Q3, and wouldn't translate at all to D3. I guess I'll have to wait until August to find out if I have to retool the idea. That's kind of a bitch. Played DOom 2 in JDoom.. nice. I think I need to get the 3d weaps/monsters seperate, I have to look into it. Anywho, here is a problem with DOS games on WinXP home: sound latency. I do have integrated sound, but all Win games perform fine...
Oh, and if there isn't a way I'm going to (messily :) code one since there is absolutely no way I can produce the gameplay/story I want without being able to save variables across levels.
Although that'd require you to effectively have your level(s) as a seperate mod. (I apologise for the triple posting) Like I said, I really haven't the means. :)
grindspire, my levels are probably going to have to be a separate mod anyway. available from Starfire21: http://www.andrew.white.zen.co.uk/awsp1.zip .
Info found at http://forums.gamedesign.net/viewtopic.php?t=6633 . showed that this is oldskool map, wearing inappropriate textures on the walls, but with good lighting. no info about gameplay cuz i fastnoclipped through it a bit. it might be good for the first try tho.... will play it later as i 'll have possibility....
andrew just sent me this map by email to review. i will play thru it in the next few days and a review will appear if its good enough.
I'm just recompiling the map now with a couple of changes and FullVis. Unfortunately a FullVis before was crashing my computer, but aguirRe (Bengt) has some recently modified tools on his site ( http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k ) which I'm now using for this compile. Also, he found a couple of anomalies on the map which seemed to cause random crashes on some engines which didn't come up in the testing, so these have been fixed, thanks again Bengt.
Otherwise, everything should be running as intended in this build :) I'll put a post here as soon as it's finished compiling and is up on my site, for anyone who wants to play it or review it. Many thanks, -Andrew http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQy
tested on all kinda of hardware and configs. I re-posted this here in-case people dont see it in the doom3 GOLD thread. Is there a way to disable some of FitzQuake's settings? It runs really slow for me -- Menk is unplayable? Just wondering if there are some things I can turn off to help =/
r_shadows 0
gl_subdivide_size 512 And lower resolutions of course, what graphics card and onboard memory? Usually not a problem in Q1, but set gl_picmip 1 or higher to see if texture memory is saturated. Sometimes option -heapsize 32768 or higher might help if not system RAM is exceeded. You could also try standard GLQuake or my engine to see if any improvement. My impression is that FitzQuake is faster on newer hardware but can be slower or dysfunctional on older (e.g. 3dfx). Nah my problem is my video card. The rest of the system is good (1ghz 384MB RAM) but the video card is an onboard piece of shit that only allocates up to 16MB from the system memory.
GLQuake does run faster but the gamma is screwed up so I have to set my desktop gamma really high (blindingly) to get it to where I want in GLQuake. Phait: maybe if you could read, you'd see that his problem in the first place was that fitzquake was running slow.
