quake 3 running on the xbox

Post by **booker** » Mon Sep 05, 2005 4:10 pm

The second thing is related to that behind the scenes work. I’ve been trying to get some mods loading, with variable success. The following screenshots are from a mod called Urban Terror. Unfortunately this particular mod isn’t playable – the xbox runs out of memory before the level can load.

lol it runs out of memory?

xbox has 64 megs of ram, and it only does that when you try and run Urban Terror.. That mod allways had shuttering problems on pc's.. they allways recommended your hunkmegs to 96.

they're still working on it. i imagine he needs to get memory issues worked out, networking, anti-aliasing, and thumbstick tweaking. Hopefully he'll add in his own memory swapfile support (on X: and Y: drives), and maybe a little bit of auto-aim.

i've been playing Quake2 on my xbox, lots of fun to get back into. Wish someone would have ported one the graphics mods, though, it's still looking a little unimpressive (the explosions, especially)

oh, and hopefully he'll incorporate some kind of split-screen support for multiplay, but that would require extra coding the in .qvm files, so i'm not sure how that would go down...

it wouldn't be very hard to implement splitscreen into quake3 -- i remember it being done before. the only calculations that need to be done once for each screen is HUD stuff, a small amount of CG (clientgame -- some things, although universally defined/set, will have to be calculated per-view) and the bulk of the calculations being in rendering from another camera, which is entirely a GPU process

Next Q2E has volumetric explosion particles and ember, so they should look a little nicer than Quake 3 style boxes, which were Berserks choice

I mean, a couple of things are WIP but the BFG ball effect (not particles surrounding it, those haven't even begun work yet) is done.

Thats looking VERY nice man

When can i get my hands on a build?
A lastest one as it were

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 11:00 am

Theres a dev build out now that doesn't have any new SE just has per pixel lighting for us developers who are working on relighting old maps and new.

The source code is always available for it too, mostly for a few devs who are ripping the engine for full games.

well i just downloaded Q2E 0.40 so im gonna see how that goes

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 11:09 am

0.40 is OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD and buggy for ATI users lol

Since then we have added:

Doom 3 material system
Per Pixel Lighting
Advanced Fragment and Vertext Programs
and shit loads of other frame work and tweaks...

I cant stress this enough, IGNORE THE SHITTY 0.40

Post by **Don Carlos** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 11:09 am

Do i just dump it in the quake2 folder?

Post by **o'dium** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 11:11 am

Yeah, then launch q2e.exe

Post by **MKJ** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 12:04 pm
