Watch: DarkPlaces, Unlocking It

Battle Royale Mode?


Yes, I made the above in DarkPlaces.



At the following site: https://www.moddb.com/mods/quake3-qu...ping-resources

I am building a map kit that makes DarkPlaces features easily available for mapping with example maps.

It should allow normal casual people who can map in Q1 to easily do any of the kinds of things seen in any pictures.

I'm taking this stuff, explaining and making simple and just some button clicks in some cases.








I am writing tutorials and documenting DarkPlaces so there is reference material. jakub1 has been an invaluable source of information and much help.

Oh yeah, the whole the thing is fully backwards compatible to 1996 vanilla Quake.

If you start Quake3_Quake1 and go to the "Start map" ... it is the start map except with particle torches.

Total backwards compatibility.

Some very nice touches there Baker, pictures 1 and 4 look very impressive and seem to be breathing new life in to Quake. Keep up the good work

Kind regards

Thanks, much more to come. I have a funny idea that might actually work.

[Baker]

More ...

[Mr.Burns]

Very nice... again I like what you are doing here Baker, I saw something very similar to the last one done by the Brackeys team using Unity but to see it in Darkplaces is very impressive to say the least...

And then an inivitable indiependant development...

Keep up the good work, its fascinating to see it develop.

Kind regards

The water effects are "whoa."

Portals too? Nice to see.

Hey gulliver, can you test compile on your Linux here in a few days for a version that removes "dpsoftrast" that I'm going to do?

I am hoping it fixes the compile issue you have. Hemebond, a different DarkPlaces linux user has a similar issue.

It's real hard to fix a compile issue I can't cause to happen, but I'm hopeful my idea will fix your issue and Hemebonds for compiling.

Quake 64 / Quake Remaster HUD available (sbar_quake 2) Linux fixes.

Hey, Baker.Thank you for looking into that. Sure, I can test-compile that new version. Where do I download the source?
(P.S. The new pre-compiled binary appears to run fine.)

Source is in the zip. Let me know if problem is solved.

Hmm. All I see is the binary in the 8-25(c) zip.: zirconenginewindowslinux20230825c.zip

I guess I should try the 8-22 version?

[Baker]

Wow! I messed up and didn't include the src. The Linux fix is in v 36.

That's real unusual for me. I was in a hurry.

Source code v 36:

No problem. Anyhow, it compiles and runs perfectly now. Thanks for getting that working -- that's awesome.
