quake2xp weird bug

[revelator]

toying a bit with quake2xp looks pretty nice but im getting a weird
pink rectangle beneath me when looking down it dissapears if i crouch image here ->



and the same if i crouch



not sure what may cause this the engine is quite advanced with bumpmapping shadow volumes etc.

any ideas ?

Does it go away if you turn off shadows? I've got this funny feeling that it looks like it might be a round shadow "blob" under the player.

was my thought also but nope

the player model is completly missing btw i noticed in third person view. same goes for other players models only thing showing up is that pink blob

hehe

parallax mapped lava surfs funky shit

well the engine is beta state on his site i spent the best of a week cleaning out unused code from old functions and fixing things so its playable still a lot of crap to get rid off (looks like its based on psychospaz engine originally) atm its more like a mix of tenebrae with quake2 alltho the shadow volume code is very good (lots better than tenebraes original) might even be usable for quake1 without a lot of rewriting.

the flares are pretty nice also the screenshots dont even come close to how it looks ingame its seriously detailed.

tbh im kinda looking into adding knightmares lazarus game support so we can surpass the limits of normal Q2 without loosing compatibility atm it has kinda a hard time with mods that uses entity limits above standard Q2 (Sz_GetSpace overflows) like mark shans maps and even zaero at times.

i can run them by upping the message size but it breaks protocol

the particle system is an offspring of tenebraes also and looks very cool

the decal code is a mess to look at but it works a treat even back then i wondered how something this ugly could produce so nice effects hehe.

argh i had the wrong package uploaded on my ftp :S

well can redownload source only and recompile the executables the ones i posted in the complete package are with the old broken code

new one uses a devil library i compiled myself (more image formats incl nvtex hpphoto and openexr) and with the bugs mentioned earlier squashed.

its in the archive src.7z
