What are you working on?

Ofc

Your map looks interresting, some upcomming mod or will it be standalone ?

And yep the parallax ocllusion makes stones stand out quite a bit unfortunatly without material support it will be applied to every single surface in game even decals, and that breaks them quite badly.
I hope someone can help me sometime to put proper material supported POM interaction code in idtech4 so we can enable it on select surfaces only.

No, but I thought it was obvious that I was working on a map (see thread title) and was hoping for feedback on that.

Lesson learned, next time I will just disable any HUD elements.

It is an upcoming D3SP with a bit of a mod attached.

My comment was just spontaneus sorry to have derailed you trying to get feedback.

As for the map it looks great

Working on a cooperative modification for Prey in my free time which is slowly coming along. Hopefully should have something to show of that soon

Implemented true hi-res screen waterwarping in Makaqu. My previous hi-res waterwarp code did render the scene in hi-res, but the waves of the warping effect weren't scaled up. Haven't posted about it in the blog yet because I still have to take some screenshots for comparison.

Also, fixing a few things in the Windows version.

I guess most people (outside of here, at least) never noticed how jagged the surface warping effect in the software renderer is:

i think the one on the left looks better.

Actually, I have to agree that the left one looks better. Yes, the one on the right is nice and smooth, but it's very obvious that the texture is low-res. The jaggedness of the left actually creates an illusion that the texture is of a higher resolution than it really is. Now, put a high-res texture in place and the right will look nice

I vote for right. If I'm reading this correctly, the individual texels should hold together better on the right-hand one, but it's hard to say without seeing them move.

[leileilol]

It would be faster if the turbulence was on a surfmipblock so it uses the original jagged function for more distanced water. It also makes me wonder why Carmack or Abrash didn't mipmap their water in the first place!!

[ceriux]

the reason i say left is because if you look at the right, the pixels seem to all form blobs of the same color. the one on the left to me seem to show more detail and the right washes it out or blurs the pixels to the same color giving the blob effect i was talking about. the right seems to remove detail that was previously there.

Dear all,

I want to show a short clip about a new Quake monster (see below).
It was a lot of fun to code the new AI, sounds, effects and animations into the game.

A big big Thank you to Psionic. He is the author of this amazing model.

Some facts about its properties:
- 3 different melee attacks
- 1 long jump attack
- 1 ranged attack: Spits out webs that glues the player to the ground for a short (adjustable) time.
- Has an adjustable chance to resist shotguns and nailguns attacks
- Has an adjustable chance of hiding/sneeking inside the ground (= suprise attack)
- Fully adjustable replacement monster for all Quake monsters individually.
Depending on which monster it replaces, its health points and skin texture will change accordingly, to keep the balance of the game !

No new/special maps needed. Works on all maps.
Using DarkPlaces together with its auto_cvar extension to make the above mentioned adjustments for it in-game.
So that the user/player can adjust its appearance to its personal liking.
With fixed values the source can be used for any Q1 engine.

I hope some people will like it a bit. It is quite funny to play against it and its mean abilities.
