Just what does this mean for the sw renderer? I'm not certain, but I think it
relies on the 8 bit vertex data. It's certainly not a problem for the gl
renderer: all coords get converted to floats anyway.

Re sw vs gl loading: merging the frame loading code is on my TODO list. At
least I merged the sw and sw32 model loaders :)

in_mouse_amp for sensitivity (actually, sensitivity = in_pre_amp *
in_mouse_pre_amp * in_mouse_amp * in_amp)

m_pitch -0.022 for invert mouse

more detailed models

[Seth G. <sga...@li...>]

Some of the characters I want to make are too detailed for 8 bit
coordinates like the .mdl format uses (i.e. characters with facial
features), but I don't require fancy stuff like skeletal animation.

So I had an idea for a simple higher precision version of the .mdl
format.  An extra byte of precision is saved for each coordinate
(basically every frame is saved twice, the second copy of the frame
containing the fractional part.)

This adds a tremendous amount of precision (wheras you previously could
not model a nose without it jumping all over the place, you could now
model a nosehair :-) and it does not take up too much memory (at most it
doubles memory used by a model - and it only has to be used for models
that really need it.)

This was pretty easy to implement in modelgen, but adding support for this
to QuakeForge looks more complicated, with the model loading code spread
between several files and duplicated for sw and gl.

If anyone would like to help out with this, I have uploaded a sample model
to http://www.planetquake.com/gg/v_rock2a.zip (the link downloads directly
from our web page folder, not the awful fileplanet system :-)

If you want to look at the code that generated the model, the extra
precision modelgen code is in the Open Quartz CVS repository:

Map hash table for automatic music?

[Mike M. <sho...@gr...>]

Would it be implementable to make a hash table containing the hashes to 
all the map files the client is aware of, as well as the local URLs to 
the audio file to play in the background while that map is in use?

Might be stored as an XML file:


Two tags
  * <file type=""></file>
  * <entry file="">(hash)</file>

<file type="Quakeforge;hashmusic;1.0">
<entry 
file="/home/shortcircuit/music/ogg/Bobby-Prince_-_Doom-Music/Bobby-Prince---Into-Sandy-s-City.ogg">HJKYu75HhjuGHkIOhFr5</entry>
</file>


Different audio formats can be supported via plugins, which means that 
QuakeForge doesn't have to support MP3, it can be an "unsupported" 
plugin, much the same way The GIMP supports GIFs and TIFFs.

Final camera patch

[Seth G. <sga...@li...>]

Here's one more wacky camera patch that rounds out the set.  This one
makes you face the direction you move in chase_active 2 and 3 modes when
you use the mouse or joystick.

combined camera patches

[Seth G. <sga...@li...>]

This patch combines all of my previous patches which have not been applied
yet.  It allows the client-side chase camera to work with Hack and Slash,
makes the player stand up straight in chase camera modes, and corrects
mouse strafe movement in chase_active modes 2 and 3.

[PATCH] Various patches for Nuq

[Patrice M. <pm...@ca...>]

Hello, quakeforge developpers

I ported nuq to MiNT (free atari multitasking OS) and SDL. I
got to correct
some mistakes in the code, so here is what the attached
patch does:

- Disable UDP support if configure says so
- Add missing includes in cd_null.c, snd_null.c, net_none.c
- Add net_none.c to default network drivers
- Add cross-compiling support (host replaced by target in
configure.in)
- Add m68k-atari-mint support

Modified/added files:

nuq/acconfig.h
nuq/configure.in
nuq/source/Makefile.am
nuq/source/cd_null.c
nuq/source/net_none.c
nuq/source/net_udp.c
nuq/source/snd_null.c
nuq/source/sys_mint.c

Hope it will help build a better Quake...

yet another camera-related patch

[Seth G. <sga...@li...>]

This patch makes mouse (and I think joystick, not tested) strafing move
your character left and right in screen space when you use chase_active 2
or 3.

It's a little silly looking right now because the player model keeps
facing whatever direction they were facing last instead of the direction
of mouse movement.  I haven't figured out how to determine which way the
mouse or joystick is moving.

Our Hack and Slash mod requires Quake-C control over the direction the
player model faces.  The following patch to the latest quakeforge code in
CVS simply removes a couple of lines from V_CalcRefDef which make Hack and
Slash work with client-side cameras in NQ.

It does not seem to affect anything else except that it keeps the player
model from tilting all the way forward and back - and that is more of a
bug than a feature, it is much more aesthetic to have the player model
keep his feet on the ground :-)

I have not gotten the client side camera in QuakeWorld to work with Hack
and Slash yet.  Again, the Quake-C must control the direction the player
is facing (example: "self.angles = a;") but when I try the Hack and Slash
with quakeforge's QW client-side camera, the player model does not face
the direction the Quake-C specifies.

If anyone has any ideas about how I can get Hack and Slash working with
QuakeWorld, please let me know!

That'd probably be Eliminator bots. They had colors (unless you used
opengl) and showed up like normal players on the scoreboard.

`bid for power´ alike newbie code

[<42...@in...>]

Hello Coders!

This is more newbie code:
 - - -
                //At void SV_Physics (void)
		// Tei - Movetype Magnetic 
		case MOVETYPE_MAGNETIC:
			if (SV_RunThink (ent))

				SV_AddMagnetic (ent);
				SV_Physics_Toss(ent);
			}

/*

void SV_AddMagnetic (edict_t *ent)
{
	vec3_t	movedir;
	
	VectorSubtract (ent->v.movedir,ent->v.origin, movedir);

	ent->v.velocity[0] +=  movedir[0] * host_frametime * 2;

I admit that this break quake compatibilty(*). Do you knom a way to do this *1

lil' camera patch

[Seth G. <sga...@li...>]

This simple patch fixes a pretty serious bug in the chase camera code
where the camera height was assigned player height + chase_up instead of
adding chase_up to camera height.

[PATCH] Various nuq patches

[Patrice M. <pm...@fr...>]

Hello, quakeforge developpers

I ported nuq to MiNT (free atari multitasking OS) and SDL. I
got to correct
some mistakes in the code, so here is what the attached
patch does:

- Disable UDP support if configure says so
- Add missing includes in cd_null.c, snd_null.c, net_none.c
- Add net_none.c to default network drivers
- Add cross-compiling support (host replaced by target in
configure.in)
- Add m68k-atari-mint support

Modified/added files:

nuq/acconfig.h
nuq/configure.in
nuq/source/Makefile.am
nuq/source/cd_null.c
nuq/source/net_none.c
nuq/source/net_udp.c
nuq/source/snd_null.c
nuq/source/sys_mint.c

Hope it will help build a better Quake...

Ain' it nice to wake up to the smell of napalm in the morning. And ain' it 
nice to get a message from the list you got on to, in a digest, only for it

I hate to bring it up, but don't you think it would be a good idea if we had 
the admins remove non-related messages and ban them from registration?

Oh, by the way, I'm back, I finally got my inbox flushed of all the old

Again, that's not how colormap is used.  It's actually an entity
number, for the player you want to appear as.

If you want to set colors then you have to stuff topcolor and
bottomcolor commands to the client, or if you're using a QF server and
you want it reliable, use setinfokey too.

Hello. 

 I first tried to auto set colormap:

 --- qc ---
 if (self.team==1)
           self.colormap = TEAM_RED;
 else
 if (self.team==2)
           self.colormap = TEAM_BLUE;
 --- qc ---


This for players work fine, but for bots and monsters.. CRASH my ENGINE*!. The 
crash message is "i >= cl.maxclients". I have find the error message in the 
code, and remarked then. After that, the engine do not crash..
I love to have white civilians, and RED forces, etc.. whitout changing skin, 
only with a colormap touch. ( not success here, for now )

Other comments:

My next target is to write a PR_sscanf() function, to fully support string 
analsys QC time. ( hmmm.... something like this:

{ Precondition, input: str, format; string from PARAMs  }
sscanf( str, format, e1,e2,e3,e1,e2,e3... );
{ Postcondition, output e1,e2,e3; float to PARAMS (1 vector anyway) }

)



Thanks all "while (1);"

1 saludo
Tei

note:
*) my code base is tq146.. for now. Maybe this colormap is too tq specific..
