What are you working on?

another Realms of Quake update:


Up at the top, status text (basic things that go on).

Text at the bottom is the spell that the mouse is over, with the castbar right above it.

You can also see a quick mock-up of the quick spell bar for easier casting of important spells/abilities.

Looks good soo far. I am a fan of usability latelly. Games are supposed to be masters of usability, and to achieve that theres a long distance, since quake is a barebone game.

It looks useful. Well, now that I've looked at it sometime, I notice the boxes have unequal space between them.. maybe just have no space between them? Oh no! Soldier dropped his hulahoop!

Testing textures together.. I also need to draw more of them. I decided to draw the textures after all. Modeling them was just too time consuming to get all the elements of the texture into a level editor friendly grid. Maybe I will shape this one into a real level.

No screenshots, but I have an automatic vwep generator under way. Will probably take 2 weeks [4 weeks if unlucky] to complete since it has to share time with all my other projects.

Basically, I have a model loader almost done and I'm going to track 3 vertices where the hand is to determine weapon offsets and angles.

And then stage 2 that it will take the weapon model and reposition the location and the angles in relation to the other models.

Minor manual labor could end up being involved, a couple of outstanding little questions remain.

I currently implemented a new animation system for both the player and the monsters, which makes life easier on writing frame codes, you don't have to write frame by frame like the traditional method.

The frame code I got from the scratch tutorials that were used by the player, and I modified that function for monsters.


The cool thing is that when a monster is in the middle of his pain frames, he does NOT get out of his running state, he can still move and fire his weapon IN THE MIDDLE of the pain sequence! (If you misunderstood this, when the monster goes to pain frames, he doesn't need to wait until the last frame to move and shoot. It interrupts the pain sequence and go directly to the shooting sequence!) Very player-like, I loved that behavior!

I'm gonna implement that for all monsters, I only implemented for the grunt and the ogre yet.


EDIT: There's a little bug that a monster may shoot his weapon or melee attack twice on the same animation frame...

I used a similar method for player view weapon animations, but it was extremely glitchy. Also it's behaviour changed if the game speed was altered.

Nice knight there ceriux Could be some player character in some medieval game.

Baker, I hope I'll get my stuff finished as well. I have a good feeling about getting this stuff complete. I just got a name for my project yesterday: Swamp Warrior. Earlier it was just Warrior, but then I got some little feedback that it wasn't good enough name.

You can have railing like that in Quake. Just set your grid at 1 or 2px and manually create a railing. I once did a staircase to a roof, all by hand. And it looked great.

I dug it up and re-rendered it with Q3Map2, took a lot of time.

Here they are:
