QuakeC contract work (Kot-in-Action hiring)

[motorsep]

heya,

It's going. Working on a new game, still Darkplaces powered. Tomes of Mephistopheles is the new game. There are few screenshots on KiA's website and a test video on my youtube channel.
I am sorry, I missed that portion where you proposed to work pro-bono. I sure value young professionals who are willing to volunteer in exchange for credits and experience. Do you have a website up with your works?

You aren't 60, are you?

Could you please e-mail me a few samples of your work? This way I don't have to wait until next month for your website

[toneddu2000]

No, well, no, I'm younger!
Yep, I'll pm when I uploaded them.

[toneddu2000]

pm'd you

How Qualified of a QC programmer are you looking at? I have completely coded Augustine's menu from scratch, but not in QC. It's all done engine-side.
Depending on how complex of things you are looking at, I may be able to help.

Sorry for being absent, was busy.

I am looking for someone who can create a sample code for animation driven AI (a la Quake AI), but for IQM models (no frames, framegroups).

There are no frames in the framefroup. Doing self-frame = 5 will play animation set of framegroup #5, which can have 100 frames or can have 10 frames of idling animation. Advancing to the next framegroup, as self.frame++ will switch to another set of animation (whatever goes after idling, running for example). So with that code you will be swapping indle, with run, with death, with attack anims.

[toneddu2000]

Yes, I'm aware of this. Infact for frame I mean the animation strip

I'd help but i dont know the IQM implementation. Maybe I can just do grounds keeping until I find a lost golf ball

[motorsep]

IQM is similar to old ZYM. Instead of frames it has framegroups, or animations sequences. It's much easier to work with in a way that you simply set animation framegroup, self.frame = 0; for example, which corresponds to let's say idle animation . Set it and forget it if animation is looped, it will be playing on its own. No other code needed, so to speak.

I'll dig AI, no problemo

[toneddu2000]

I'd like to help you with modeling/animation support, if you want of course! Because this forum and quake community needs badly better knowledge on this topic

The wikipedia articles on 3D math suck ass.

Somehow even the Wikipedia articles on 2D math suck ass, and keep in mind that schools teach that shit to 5th graders these days.

Whatever the strengths of Wikipedia, math is not one of them. Pray that whatever aliens come to Earth first do not judge us on the Wikipedia math articles; they all fucking suck and make even simple concepts like rise/run and circle math seem like you need to get a .

Somewhere, there are some nerds with some explaining to do ... specifically, how can u screw up explaining simple math concepts so bad. Wikipedia is really, really bad and treats math like a terminology fest. I'd say more but I think I already did ...

A nerd is someone who knows every word in the dictionary, but has no clue to the meaning behind the word ... grrrr .... Wikipedia is often very useful but the math articles seem like some inbred cloister is the only people who have contributed ...

Is it sir Baker himself or someone hacked his account or else ?

Either way, I departed from DarkPlaces to idTech 4 to save myself from frustrations and find some new ones. It was a great pleasure (and pain) working with DarkPlaces engine. Thank you LordHavoc, contributors and The Community!
