The engine multiplies it by this:
#define ALIAS_BASE_SIZE_RATIO (1.0 / 11.0) // normalizing factor so player model works out to about // 1 pixel per triangle GLQuake doesn't seem to use the resulting value at all; Quakespasm definitely doesn't. Software uses it in R_AliasCheckBBox: https://github.com/id-Software/Quake/blob/master/WinQuake/r_alias.c#L238 Maybe someone who knows the software renderer can tell what's going on there, I can't make any sense out of it! software rendering has two ways to draw a model.
1: either using spans 2: just subdividing each triangle and drawing a singleish point in the middle of it. method 1 is more correct. method 2 is faster when its further away. method 2 has the side effect of rounding the model outwards resulting in (most noticably players) being larger when distant. this makes them easier to spot than in gl (when running at the same res), and is imho one of the two reasons that people used software rendering over gl in quakeworld for so long. The engine needs some easy way to determine which method to use, hence that header field. I know synctype is almost entirely unsupported, and any static entities with an autoplayed framegroup will be visibly synchronized.
If you were to use a model with framegroups on a thinking entity, would the group cycle start at 0 when yes, I am actually wondering how viable it is to pack extra frames into an mdl, how did you know My next attempt to convert Q3 mdl files to Quake1.
This time I took the Dragonite model of Pior, a french artist that made the model. The hard part is to combine the three parts of the model back to one and import the base dxf into an editor. From there the trick is to give the model bones and animate them to the basic Quake1 frames. Only thing left is to give it a good flame throwing breach to attack the player, which I can only append to the Quoth mod. Wish I could expand the s_explode.spr better in qc. dragonit Okay this is wierd
Some times ago I was able to Import the nailgun moel into Blender thanks to that mdl script Now I want to mess with Q2's chaingun model, so I saved it as a Anyone got a solution to this? you could try using another model editor such as QuArK. Open the
RAPO says you saved it in hexen2mp's (aka: portals, or pop) model format. There should be some option to switch back to quake's model format instead somewhere (disclaimer: its been a looong time since I used qme). And then you can open it with qme and reexport to quake's format instead.
Find yourself this little prog,
load your beloved dxf model, get some glue and scissors, paint them up.., and they're yours! It's possible.., although making the flatten layout of the dxf model results into a scattered field of forms.
I tried to fill in the player's skinn into it, but with all fields in diverse angles my printer got blurred. not sure if the link works, I got a troubled server. <img src="http://i59.tinypic.com/10wtm4x.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"> I wanna see some 28mm models of quake monsters made in the style of 3rd edition warhammer minis (not the new rubbish), and painted by Shambler.
"You are in a dark castle controlled by the evil minions of Quake!"
"I shoot a rocket" "There's nothing here" "I want to check for secrets!" "It's too dark, you can't see any hints on the wall. There's nothing for you to aim at." "I attack the darkness!" "Ok fine. You shoot a rocket. It hits a Shambler you hadn't noticed and does basically no damage and you are instantly hit with a 4d20 LightningBolt and turn into a fine gooey paste" "I quickload!"
