[FTEQW] CubiQuake

[daemon]

I'm just going to put this here and see what happens.

CubiQuake is open source GPL 3.0, and set up to be a framework for any cubic world project using the FTE Engine. (What people call voxels, which I've been informed is not the correct term for what people use it for, hence the name "CubiQuake".)

Read the readme, and get FTEQW! (FTEQW revision 5424 or higher is required.)

The project is in early stages, but stable. View distance isn't super far, but it is decent, and by far good enough for a dungeon crawler. Let me know what you think, or if you want to work on the project.

Well, that's interesting.

I am having trouble to test it tho, since I cannot move (I supposed "X" should toggle between walk/fly and edit, but nothing happens), and it crashes frequently (see screenshot below).

Also, cubes are using the checkers default texture, meaning something is wrong in my mod installation.

But I REALLY like the idea. I'll upgrade FTE to the latest stable and try it again.

Yeah, as I said it's probably all my fault. But I really like the idea, it opens a lot of possibilities.

If you're using a lower version than 5424 it is not going to work right. From the screenshot it looks like the version you're using might not even handle trisoup_simple. Btw I added a video to the main post.

I was even able to build a wall: https://imgur.com/u3xMvJg
There are some little bugs creeping yet (there is a solid cube on this void leak): https://imgur.com/0PCUTJ9
But it's great! Now I want to punch trees and explore caves and mine diamonds!

Ah you found it. I thought I eliminated that bug. I guess it's still there, just harder to reproduce than it use to be. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with using the remove tool and inadvertently selecting a buried cubic. It's likely the TraceCubic() function when called from the server.

[daemon]

Another bug that is leaning in the "feature" direction is that when placing cubics you can select a location diagonal from the edge of another cubic rather than finding a face to build from.

[daemon]

I figured out a way to reproduce it. Enclose an empty cubic with other cubics. The opposite of what I was thinking. Now to fix it.

So cool! Compliments!

Okay, I have to make my taxes this weekend, but after that I'll study your code and may try to use it to build something. This brings so many opportunities...

That draw bug is fixed now. There are still some weird selection bugs, but nothing should be breaking the saved world now as far as I know.

assuming it just needs more ram, try:
pr_ssqc_memsize 256mb
along with this if you need it:
pr_csqc_memsize 256mb
