What are you working on?

Cool frag.machine!! Will it support altitude difference(hills, valleys,etc)? Will it be open sourced?
Great work tough, I never saw a functional procedurally generated world in quake. Is it made in C or quakec?

I also like the rocks, they look almost natural with their shape.
Maybe one thing: You could try to raise the rocks higher that their top is no more visible,
that will give the impression of beeing inside a dungeon. Seeing that you can "enter" into rocks in your clip.
The rocks outside of a dungeon should stay as they are right now.

Really great work frag.machine !

it kind of already seems like a dungeon/cave because of the textures used and how when you go to a new area it seems to always point down, like you're going down a level. maybe you could use portals of some kind rather than what you already have for out door areas?

Q2 software-renderer mash-up:
3.24 unofficial Q2 from Knightmare
Colored light from Lei Q2
Use GDI driver for full screen modes (avoid Win7 ddraw palette derp)
Increase engine limits for largish maps
Engine can do Lazarus mod?

...because I want to play SMD in software mode.

Besides the 3.24 patch and FTEQW-SW, any other software Q2 code bases with stealing from?

Nope. The majority of Q2 ports are "cool particle system's for GL" and there's only like one port that even fixes NPO2 and overbrights. DirectQII is the closest Fitzish thing, but the site is now defunct and mh has been corporately absorbed for quite the while. I still have all the files and source releases though


I'd also like to toy with the idea of a simple GL wrapper that artificially limits extensions and does a few GLSL postprocess effects, as a 3dfxgl.dll replacement - because for a while after it came out, Quake2's appearance was mostly representated by 3dfx and their high gamma and filtering. While glide wrappers are one thing, experiencing Voodoo vision is another, and that's not an area Glide wrappers explore in.

Seems many of the older q2 source ports are endangered of disappearing, but surprising to hear about directq2. While surfing I've noticed that deaconstomb and jimw sites are recently gone.
