What are you working on?

Working on animated alpha masked textures. This made me find out that the vanilla support for animated textures is buggy, so I'm fixing it also.

Little updates on the material system I've been working on for OpenKatana.

Materials can support both global settings (which apply for all skins within the material) and local settings (which apply for just one single skin).



Controlled through two local functions; $scroll_x and $scroll_y.



Set via a global flag within the material and speed is controlled through one global function; $animation_speed.

Meh...

some trippy stuff

Animated alphamask/ scrolling/ animation speed control: Yes to all of the above!

cool hogsy!That it's a lot of work imo!

Hogsy: Nice, flexibility is always a bonus when coding features.

And I've finished the animated alpha masked textures support, but it looks really crappy at the standard of 5 fps (!!!) framerate of animated BSP textures from vanilla Quake.

A way to define faster animation speeds is definitely required, but I don't know the standards that other Quake engines may use for that, and it would be nice to make it compatible. Anyway, there are more important stuff to fix before researching that.

A (please select HD to watch), with random monsters and random weapons.
Pay no attention to the ugly artwork (specially skins), and try to imagine the fun of stomping a shrunked cyberdemon or Armagon.

One of the coolest things I've seen in these months with quake! Great work frag.machine!
If I may ask, how did you manage freezing animation? Are monsters .mdl models? In this case, maybe you just stopped the execution of current frame, right?

Currently setting up Jackhammer config and converting id1 textures to .wal format, with the endgoal of converting episode 1 into Q2BSP format. Jackhammer config testmap looks coool so far with rad.

Learning a lot about Q2 mapping in the process, probably post a guide or something later once I get it all figured out. Amusingly, regular light ents now give off an infernal reddish light... >=D
