woops. sent you an email tho'

i think is that u are looking... 

the link didn't work. You need to put http:// in front of it for it to work.

i saw author Ray and are both dm and sp i didn�t saw maps :) 

Jago reported an issue with FrikQCC in late 2004 that it couldn't compile the Hipnotic QC without screwing up the Scourge/Centroid monster animations.

I just found out that this is actually caused by the hipscrge.qc file having multiple (and invalid) frame definitions. Delete the 2nd set and Frik will build properly.

Is it common knowledge that setting the engine cvar gl_nocolors 1 will significantly improve the look of players in mods with multiple player skins?
I've often wondered why some models (e.g. the mini-sub in Malice) looked different (and much worse) when looking at the player from e.g. chase_cam. It's actually the DM coloured shirts/pants logic that's being applied to skins that definitely never were intended for it. 

Aguire, that's cool! I encountered that same bug recently, when I was building the codebase for pbrsp2. Weird thing is that whe I compiled using proqcc, my old go-to in qc compilers, it doesn't b0rk their animations at all. Which is what I used for the code for pbrsp1, and never saw any issue with the centroids because I never tried frikqcc with it. Maybe I can switch to it now, then. 

i use fteqcc :) start loving it when Spike made a lot of modificacion in the compiler :) 

and Frik the man, but it is suprising that his compiler doesn't catch it as a type of recursion error. I ran into this error when working with the scourge.qc file a few weeks ago, A simple glance at the text revealed someone had a made a simple cut and paste boo boo a long time ago. 

As HL2 Source engine continues to be updated and new expansion packs are being released, how does this affect the work of a HL2 mapper?

If gfx features X and Y are introduced in HL2 Episode 1 or 2, can a mapper use those features in a standard HL2 map or will the map require the expansion pack which introduced the feature into the engine? What about new entities, sounds, textures and models? 

To even have access to the content you'd need to buy the packs. If you're asking whether or not it's "legal" if someone say rips all the content from the packs and puts online for mappers to use in standalone HL2, I would say probably not. However I doubt anyone would notice if you used some textures here or there, but again I doubt anyone would take the risk of hosting the content. 

I am following the article of Preach about animating models on Q10Ex,
and I really enjoy it.

So strange I can't get my Gmax working.
I logged in but the programm isn't available.
They stopped supporting in it nov.2005.
Then I found it on FilePlanet, and installed it.
But it needs an Registering User ID to get it working.
I register myself to TurboSquid and I'm Welcome.

But I can't find my Registering User Id code in the email ? 

blah actually I don't, but I did have a problem and had written a huge post about it, but then I managed to fix it.

The problem was with self.nextthink = time + whatever;. I thought this was perfectly fine, but apparently I was wrong. Changing it to self.nextthink = self.ltime + whatever; fixed it, but why? Nextthink is set in relation to time a lot of places in the original qc. Why wouldn't it work in my case?

What was happening for me was that the nextthink would be set to time + whatever + whatever time was the first time I referenced it; 

Does this have anything to do with that map that we're all forcing you to release? 

 

CZG, is the entity in question something with movetype_push, like a BSP object? These objects always use ltime for their nextthink instead of think. Thanks to the 3rd post in http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?doc=1042080107-38582000
I've found out why. ltime stops increasing for an entity while it's blocked, which makes a lot of sense. Otherwise if you blocked a door until it would otherwise arrive at it's destination, it would call the end journey function, which teleports it into place(to remove the slight floating point inaccuracies you'd otherwise get). This would probably get the player stuck.

a md3 exporter d/load link for max6? 

what's the feasibility of making a tool that takes a quake .bsp as input and outputs the world geometry as a single mesh that can be imported into, say, 3DSMax? After all, the visible hull is just a bunch of triangles, right?

Not concerned with textures or anything, just geometry.

The reason I ask is I'm considering doing a remix of a Q1SP map for Doom3, and I thought having something like that would be kinda handy as a guide. 

Kinn: according to rome.ro the quake map sources may be very close to release, apparently Romero is just getting confirmation from id that they're ok to release. 

whoa - that would kinda help things i guess :} 

doesn't DUBSP.EXE output a <mapname>.max when it compiles a .MAP file ? I am assuming that is a 3dsmax .MAX format file but I've never tried opening one. So all you need to do is use BSP>MAP converter and then compile with DUBSP.EXE

This is all theoretical of course :)
