Endless terrain generator

I like the idea, but I can't tell what problem you have.

Do you get an error? When?
Did you make the terrain.bsp model? What map are you testing this on?

Hi Zop! I almost forgot my own code! Too much time passed by! Iirc I wanted to make dynamically generated terrain, so, splitting whole world (let's say a huge map of 99000x99000x8192 units) in immaginary sectors, I'd have liked to render every sector only when player was in that sector, rendering neighbour sectors as well. But, I abandoned the project since I didn't receive any inputs from community and after many unsuccesful code tests, I gave up!
If you want to share some thoughts, I'm here!

Good idea,i want to make something in dp.
And made 16x16x128 entity chunk.
I record video late.

But idk how to make infinite world.
Maybe store chunk 16x16x128 in file then player will be on the last cube on chunk and delete cubes,then generate new chunk.

What is better to this experiments?dp or fte,what is entity limit on fte?i think on dp 32768.

I started my experiments then read this

Oh,is there a way,to check enity in entity?

My understanding is that you two are talking about different things.

Toneddu's idea was to use prefabs to simulate an "endless" world, while the link you provided is a "let's do Minecraft in Quake". I already , almost completely in SSQC (with bits of CSQC for HUD). As Spike commented back then the real pain in the arse is to make artwork that mix in a seamless way. BTW after some testing I settled for a 24x24 grid of 512x512 qu's as a comfortable size in terms of gameplay and performance (at least in Darkplaces, which was my target engine; the mod ran much faster in FTE with the same hardware, but important portions of the world generation were broken on it, so for now I ditched the idea of multiple engine support).

And i made minecraftish quake:D
Without infinitie generation.

[Max_Salivan]

too many entities:d

Yeah,IMO to replicate minecraft in quake the better approach would be to implement its map format instead.
