Wrong year. That's his keynote from 2009. The new one isn't available yet, as it seems. However, Kotaku posted a short snippet of it: http://kotaku.com/5611523/id-unleashes- ... the-iphone

Afaik, there's no way to do this directly. You could however compile the map twice - once with, and once without bounce - and export the lightmaps of each BSP (-export switch). Then subtract the lightmaps of your BSP without bounce from the one with bounce (with a Photoshop batch, or whatever) and i...

Hey guys, we're doing a little market research for our study and therefore constructed a short survey about the product we choose: Jägermeister. We also wanted some results from the US and other countries (we're from germany), and this is the only non-german Forum I'm "active" (haha) in. S...

Impressive work! Very nice graphics and gameplay wasn't bad either. It's a bit short tough :P

I just read through your .script. Seems the Doom 3 Engine has some more shortcomings than I realized

You're cute :X

damn. doublepost :\

There was a bug in the original version of q3map.exe, causing it to lit vertexes far more than it should. q3map2 has a switch (-cpma I belive) to reconstruct this "bug" and make the vertex light as bright as it is in the original id maps.

All IIRC ._.

w00t!
looks ... interesting. SP?

collision detection works fine. the thing is, the AI doesn't know the model is there, because it's not compiled into the AAS.

It's Quake 4.
I just used q3map2 to convert my terrain model (.ase) to brushes (.map). Of course I had to compile a .map with the .ase in it to a .bsp, before decompiling it to a .map - which might be the reason why the result sucked

RTS. I'm aiming for something more like commandos than c&c. Few units, no bases.
But it's still in a very early stage. Just the camera movement, unit selection and unit movement is working so far.

[lvlshot]http://www.phoboslab.de/shot00010.jpg[/lvlshot] a mod i'm working on. getting the AI to function properly in levels like this is, unfortunately, close to impossible. the engine ignores models (terrain) when creating the AAS. converting the model to brushes (q3map2 ase2map, easygen) also fai...

damn you quakerX, now my map looks like shit!

anyway, I put the mappack on my server (q4max):
http://www.chaosquake.de/q4srv/

the size is limited. 131072^3 units is correct (65536 positive, 65536 negative in each direction) thats for q3 > 1.27 IIRC. older versions (without team arena stuff) have max 16384^3 units (again IIRC) - and it might have been only an editor limit. dunno. edit: for clarification: http://www.chaosqua...

What the heck is this for? What's the point? What are the limitations? Is this a design that's going to be used for planning/building something real-world? Yep. I'm moving to this room next weekend. If I were going to work on this for general masturbatory purposes, I'd start by knocking out a wall ...

damn, I didn't notice the wall panel "bug" :\ - RA, MH and YA seems too much for map that size. I would remove RA and add second YA instead i actually tried that, but then players had no real reason to come down to the lower level anymore. the map needs a strong item down there. - teleport...

Just finished my first Quake 4 map: Sturmernte! I learned quite a bit how Quake 4 works. Peformance is not as good as it could be, if I had planned the map better from the beginning. However, it's still faster than most raven maps. Comments are very appreciated, though I consider this a final - unle...

Some of my rules of tp placement include, a) have the TP exit in the same general area as the tp, so its not just an easy escape route b) dont allow the tp to take a player to a significantly advantageous position i can't agree with this. a teleporter should travel the longest possible distance. in...

small and fast q4 tourney:

thank you guys. the batch drawing thing makes sense

i have some tiny details, like debris on the the floor, and i don't want the player to stumble over it. so rather then placing a huge clip brush over the floor, i convert all my debris brushes to a func_static and make it nonsolid (key: solid; value: 0). is this the right way to do it? a func_static...

i like the overall idea of the map and the architecture is interesting as well, however the lighting is just plain boring. i know there's always this conflict between a moody atmosphere and good gameplay, but i think you can achieve both if you'd just try to :P i'm sorry to say, but the lighting see...

i just played trough it. there are some maps (or parts of them) which look a bit empty or somehow "unprofessional", but overall its really awesome!
and the whole soundtrack is just ... OMFG! it was so much fun running through the levels with the music pumping.

great work everyone!

you also don't need to compress the TGA itself (RLE) if you put it in a compressed pk3/pk4 anyway. zip does a good job at compressing "simple" (few colors, big areas) TGAs
