[66.103.24.28], if you think that's exciting, wait until you see how we've enhanced the Shambler - if you thought rocket launchers were only for CyberDemons then think again. We're turning it up to 11, punching babies and leeting it r4wk, in a nu-school format.
Both the screenshots, and your description of the new Shambler reminded me of this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/amon25/1222918116758.jpg
That looks great.
There is no RL Shambler - I was being sarky. Currently there's nothing planned for the Shambler, although he has some other features that are in most monsters, AI tweaks and some other stuff. There's a vague plan to have him able to use electricity in a more versatile way, or cause thunderbolt type water blasts no purpose when firing into a liquid volume. e3m3 is awesome. your shots look good. some of it a little flat in detail though. do you plan on using any custom textures? even just the odd custom here and there?
Like I say, the whole set is adapted from that one green cubes of metal texture, though its so similar and can see how you'd have trouble seeing it.
The floor is 'new' as well - but basically a recoloured version of the famous copper semicircles floor, made into a bigger tile to eliminate repetitions. The runes are mostly new - although I included the classic patterns as well. The flatness is caused by the lighting and not all areas being properly completed - I'm working on six other maps and some code at the same time ;) But e3m3 will feature alot more of those orange windows and rely heavily on the 32x32 cubes theme. Maybe some more complex static modelsto augment the candles, but for now the map is on pause. Thanks for the interest. In my opinion, I don't think shifting the models should be done in the model itself.
One thing nice and unique about Quake is that the straight forward view is very good for aim. As an alternative, I would recommend using an autoexec.cfg to setting a r_viewmodeloffset cvar. I wrote up a tutorial on how to add this into any given engine. http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?p=13133 Are there any engine features that are particularly wanted?
A shiny new rotating system is on the cards, as well as the stuff mentioned above. Multiplayer gets a facelift as well. Although weather or not anyone will play the thing if its not in their engine is another matter. Well just as long as it works in Windows, er Macs and er..... Linux?
Just to stop the raving and ranting, or even minor whinging about not being able to play...? Lit file support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also external texure support. Fullbrights
Overbrights Ogg Vorbis support (for the soundtrack) -quoth decent console tab completion centerprint logging to console You mean mod support?
Multiple OS is a must because we've already got members of the team working on the big 3. Fullbrights / overbrights . . . yeah. -quoth -game moddir
(like -hipnotic -game quoth) Multiply OS - Yey!!! :D AguirReQuake optional directory ordering then.
I think that was only included for the Nehahra DP engine variant, so that it wouldn't load in Nehahra default. Suffice to say we won't block the engine to anything, though it's default folder will be that of RQ having other mod folders accessible is a must. Have you got any smoke?
And a spark. I need a spark. I mean we've got fire! And you know what they say.... I saw the thing about fullbrights and centerprint logging.
This tutorial does fullbrights fairly ok for a GLQuake that doesn't have the feature (TyrQuake maybe?): http://www.quake-1.com/docs/quakesrc.org/120.html Centerprint logging which is probably the most joyous single player feature ever, I wrote up a quicky tutorial on that: http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=1261
