Talk about anything in here. If you've got something newsworthy, please submit it as news. If it seems borderline, submit it anyway and a mod will either approve it or move the post back to this thread.

I was able to get into it by doing the httpS trick as said earlier.
As for contributing to the wiki, I could get in my method of doing models with Blender.

Qcman10 And Qccspecs

#26684 posted by madfox on 2015/12/21 21:48:19

are copyright of Ferrara Francesco and Olivier Montanuy and I think as long as I leave their names included nothing can go wrong.

The articles are for help, and especially the qccspecs comes in handy, because it has a html directed backlead to the other qc elements.

I already added it to the quaketastic site under tools/windows/quakec.

If I use the httpS://quakewiki.org/ trick I only get the message my privacy gets warned by a hacker.

Yes, please. Make a tutorial. Even if QWiki isn't the place, I'd like to read it.

Handmade Quake will be a series of videos and blogs where I rebuild the original Quake from scratch, line by line, system by system. It is named Handmade Quake thanks to the inspiration of the Handmade Dev community, and following the spirit of their manifesto, we will be starting with a blank Visual Studio project, nothing pre-written at all, and file by file, will turn it into the source code that id Software released to the world in late 1999.

Jackhammer 1.1.8 is out. Already installed, already voted for it on Steam.

Sky rendering is the shit ...

Sadly, tablet still not supported correctly. :(

That guy is going to get totally and absolutely owned.

He is terribly underestimating and doesn't have the foggiest idea of the internal systems involved (collision, bsp, the QuakeC virtual machine, etc.) and seems to have no clue how complex things like a sound mixer are.

He's in for rude awakenings upon rude awakenings.

Reading that post without remembering the context at first.

Well, I will follow his demise on youtube and blog. Let's see what happens.

Textures

Zwiffle said:

We should get Sock to make that [Roman] mosaic into a texture set no one will ever use.

Why "never use"? It was a beautiful mosaic. There are really nice textures at Sock's site. Why not use them?

How does a texture set should be, so most people want to use?

Your texture set wish list, please.

#26702 posted by Zwiffle on 2015/12/24 03:30:44

That was a joke. Sock mentioned to me that he had spent a lot of time taking photos of some church or summing, cleaned them up and made a texture set out of it ... but then claimed no one used it.

Texture Set Wishlist

Texture set using the theme(s) Trypophobia and/or Teeth.

What Baker said.

That guy seems to have been raised in the system analysis & object-oriented programming culture. He's going to bang his head in the wall multiple times every day before actually understanding how Quake was coded. His "modular YouTube series" proposal is impossible, because Quake is not modular (some of its systems are almost modular, but Quake was coded with a "Get this thing to work and ship it!" mindset, so messy intertwined code is the rule).

He would have better luck if he just wanted to play with Quake's assets using code written from scratch (without trying to replicate the original code). For his project, there's no need to be faithful to how Quake works.

But we can still look forward to the hilarious schadenfreude though, right?

#26706 posted by Spirit on 2015/12/24 10:30:53

I was super psyched about this at first but...

He isn't going to actually write it from scratch. :(

This API happens to be the code that Quake actually uses, but while watching the video, the aim is to make it as though we are creating it ourselves.

The main source code, in the end, is not anything I've built myself. It's the Quake source code from id's Github.
