Date sim

[leileilol]

i'm working on a eastern-styled (THAT MEANS ANIME LOL) date sim slash FPS in DarkPlaces with a focus on action gameplay and (violent and evil) missions and i'm currently working on the hacked-up md3tag 'appearance' system. It is under GPL license (for data and code) and derived from GPL v1.01 qc. It has yet to recieve a name.

It'll exclusively be real-time lit as well, beefy system required.

here's a from it (nsfw), the head is a non-Free placeholder (i have to make a new one). I plan to use the MOVE_HITMODEL feature quite a lot, and yes, there will be more clothes than this. I'm just in early almost-nothing phase

The player is also very tall (view_ofs '0 0 82')

I hope to have some good NPC ai in there soon (its currently old walkmonster lol), and I wonder how it's possible to have the NPC's head (stuck on md3tag) turn to face the player without turning around like a robot?

Seperate head model that follows the real model? Add some yaw restrictions, it shouldn't be hard at all; it'll just take some trial and error and tinkering.

thanks to daemon, head is now turning towards the player, however it can't ever pitch down

EDIT: PITCHING DOWN NOW

But what if an animation calls for stuff like laying/resting on the ground? ()

That's when you have to animate the head tag, and disable the looking at player stuff. Or you could do like I do, add matrix handling to qc and rotate it using them to face stuff in a believable way even with a weird tag angle. But I don't recommend that...
