Experimenting with various optimizations. Brought over the DarkPlaces point lighting to Quake2 and fixed some bugs with it.

Been learning a bit of C lately and having fun with it.
Added basic achievements to the PSP (L4Q).
It plays a sound, slides down, pauses for 3 seconds, and slides back up.

qbism, surely the hud is drawn after fog, thus the fog code doesn't need to care about any 2d stuff (also, drawing the hud is very likely to not affect the depth of those overlay pixels).

any luck with using threads to offload parts of the rendering? might help achive 60fps+vsync, to make things smoother. most aproaches buffer the result of one thread for use by the second thread the following frame, rendering an extra frame behind. not sure what you can easily chuck on to such a worker thread. fog, I suppose, though that does make the hud awkward unless its drawn by the worker thread too (which likely requires more sync points).

cool stuff ghost_fang.

@Spike: putting fog at the very end (vid_win flipscreen) is a performance boost but means zeroing out z at each hud pixel or just letting the hud be a little foggy. Plus there are other gotchas that eat into the initial boost. Would be great to at least thread the fog loop. Likewise warp.

@ Ghost_Fang: A great idea. Achievements add fun and even replay value to levels if done well. Modern Warfare 2 is an example.

After doom and gloom, I've finally got my hands on a new pc. Alls working well. Anyway, I reviewed the brightness, or lack of it, debate I was struggling with, where some would see it how I did and others would see it as too dark. ON my my new pc, it looked.... too dark! Some adjustments (not subtle, just to raise the overall light values, still work in progress) later, and the result can be seen here: http://wp.me/a1NjfD-8Q
It still needs work, but I hope it looks to others how I've always seen it.

w00t, a new post!

Yeah, that looks a lot more sane Ajay.

Something else: Your curbs are too high. Imagine driving that bicycle up that curb. Ouch!! Your street is also a little flat.
