chasecam like "Survival Horror Maker"?

[drm_wayne]

well, i just compiled the Envenom QC with frikqcc (comes with the archive) and i have the same problems...
the player will not walk up stairs anymore, oh my god fuck this, really!

about fteqcc: i always had problems with this compiler and i dont like fteqcc, compiling the
"clean" qcv1.06 isnt possible with fteqcc unless you remove/change some stuff with the spwanblood function..

[ceriux]

its either obviously a bug in the code or its meant to do that..

[Spike]

there's only 3 qccs worth considering using.
fteqcc (I'm biased yeah yeah), frikqcc (grr, qccx hacks), qfcc (if you can get the compiler to compile).

every other qcc I've seen has too many vanilla bugs.

fteqcc and frikqcc have quite a few features in common (which I stole). If you're paranoid about qcc bugs, avoiding the use of any fteqcc/qccx extensions can be a good plan, then you can blame the qcc a bit more easily.
Either way, both of those qccs have a load of warnings for when things go bad.
With frikqcc, the defaults are good, while fteqcc tries to spam you with pretty much everything it has - there's a -Wno-mundane argument to disable trivial warnings with only non-trivial fixes.

quite a few qcc warnings really ought to be errors, as they're basically fatal. however, refusing to compile a mod that works fine with another qcc due to mere luck is bad karma.
If it doesn't run properly, CHECK THE WARNINGS!

Regarding the 'clean qcv1.06 spawnblood' issue, what's the problem? got a link?


fteqcc is by no means perfect. My local version miscompiles everything resulting in players spawning at '0 0 1' whatever the spawn spot says. All sorts of weirdness there. Its generally okay if you avoid the weird undertested/untested features like mixing pointers+structs+arrays which I made the mistake of trying somewhat recently. Had to fix that before I could mess around with the mod, jogi still hates me for suggesting that he use those features too.

i think there is something wrong with the players code, but i dont know what (lol)...
It may something small, like self.velocity (or gravity) or something else..

i am not at home atm but i really want to know how i can make the bastard walk up stairs (he doesnt walk up anything, it looks like he is walking against a wall)...

And no, i dont think the player is meant to do that, the envenom maps have stairs, but i cant use them with my fresh compiled source..

So you're saying your camera is chasing your own player? Is it possible that you changed the movetype?
If you just want a limited free flight chasecam why not mod the engine and keep it clientside?

[drm_wayne]

no, i dont change ANYTHING, i just downloaded this:



And compiled it and tested it in Darkplaces and you cant walk upstairs anymore, but you can walk
upstairs in the "original" codename envenom....

Maybe i should look for another third person cam...

[ceriux]

why dont you just take (or learn from) envenoms code and recode it yourself so you dont have those issues?

[taniwha]

[drm_wayne]

[ceriux]

im going to download the source and see if i have the same problem. (but what i meant is get an understanding of how a camera works and try and code it yourself and see if you get the same problems)

i just recompiled using the same source as you and i am able to go up and down stairs. (using frikqcc) i'm running darkplaces i got 1 warning when compiling (SetMovedir: Not all control paths return a vaule) found in subs.qc on line 32. but all seems to work properly. i'm not sure what your problem is. are you testing with a custom map? if maybe its the height of your steps that you cant make it up?

[drm_wayne]

Well, i decompiled now the progs.dat and replaced the client.qc and player.qc and compiled again and now it works...
Strange....

Yes, custommap:




Do you see the wood laying on the floor? the player got stuck even there...
But now it works, problem solved (the unconventional way)...

[r00k]

You should diff those two files you replaced to learn why it happened.
Btw, why did u decompile the progs.dat when the source is included in that .rar you posted

[drm_wayne]

Because the progs.dats source is very different to the posted above...

[RenegadeC]

Weird, I've never had issues ever with the player not being able to climb stairs in Envenom on any version I've ever compiled. The source was written from scratch with minimal QC errors, The Ascension of Vigil is essentially using the same type of stair climbing code as well and there hasn't been an issue. I'll look into it myself however sometime soon.

Edit: It's nice to see someone using something I've made I'll provide support as much as I can.
