What are you working on?

[Shpuld]

Small update to the mod I'm working on.

I made new sprite based hit effects for the aliens, they look really Half-Lifeish.
I also made animations for my v_models.

Well, I've mostly completed the GLSL renderer for QuakeForge (stage one, anyway). Here are some shots of how it looks:


I should mention that the default particles won't give the above results: use r_particles_style 0.

Shpuld: The effects look quite good. The weapon animations seem a bit stiff, though.

I have been so impressed with Darkplaces, and the projects coming out around it, I had to tinker.

sounds neat, i might suggest variations of the variations once you have everything set up how you like.

Baker: haha, that's awesome!

Shpuld: Cool video! It reminded me a little of Kiss Psycho Circus when the crab creatures attack (watch this, if you don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luXelZh7Eww). How many of those spiders can be on screen without the game lagging too much? And what exactly is the goal of the mod / gameplay be about?

libsdl:

I'm so glad libsdl exists. I've been trying to port FitzQuake to actual real native OS X and Apple's development documentation is ... uh ... not even in the same city as say Microsoft's. Apple's docs are not bad. They are overly "voluminous". Like 30 pages of information that really does not provide enough information nor any examples.

And they changed the hardware gamma stuff and the only people who seem to know what it is ---> the libsdl developers. No other leads on all the internet to that one.

[Not using libsdl, mostly because using libsdl is a bit like cheating. You don't get your hands dirty and avoid stuff rather than engage it. Which is sometimes ok. But really, OpenGL is OpenGL so the need for SDL really is kind of dubious in a lot of cases. Well, maybe for sound ...]

@Baker: I'd love to use your solar system simulation as screensaver. Can you convert it to a Windows .scr ? Maybe with the camera flying around like a comet or a spaceship, that would be ubercool.
EDIT:derp, a simple Google search shows me that's already done. Still, it would be a great screensaver.
EDIT2:ugh, the ones I checked look all too wrong in proportions and full of bloom (in space!). Yours is more close to the real thing, Baker.

It's not a screen saver. It is a mini-engine, actually. Very thin cvar system, very thin input system, very thin physics, even has timing, texture loader (written from thin air). Entities supported are cubes, faces and sphere. Avelocity supported. Supports no specific limit of "parent" entities (kind of like model tags, you can make things loaded into position related to each other). It doesn't load QuakeC or do collisions. Yet. After I do a PSP engine update, I'm going to make a very simple collision system and the ability to select objects and upload the source (multi platform, of course) do that as the conclusion to the "selecting objects in 3D thread".
