I know I'll be looking to borrow the download stuff

I looked at the feature list and those are some nice changes.

I might write up a quicky tutorial on adding .ent after I spend 5 minutes disassembling it from the QIP engine you linked me a while back. :d:d

[R00k]

Yes, there are many things ie. QSG extensions i NEED to add, grr, i get side tracked. Frikfile support would be the shiznit for mods like CAx for running server stats. On another note, you had mentioned .alpha support on I3D, i have .transparency in the engine, and ACTUALLY in CAx I do use .transparency for dead bodies when they start to slide into the ground they also fade. But for some reason it never worked client-side Maybe I didnt fully implement it.
DP declares alpha as
#define U_ALPHA (1<<17)

yet Nehahra uses
#define U_TRANS (1<<15)

so something is a miss

I have a feeling your cooking something in the kitchen yourself The webdownload uses the curl library and really is just the tip of the iceberg, but for security reasons I dont want to exploit that library to it's fullest

[Baker]

Qrack already has .alpha support



Notice the transparent structures.

You can download the map:

http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60157

Requires the progs.dat, command line would be:

c:\quakedm3\glQrack.exe -game back2forwards +map back2forwards

To add .alpha support via QuakeC is merely adding .float alpha in defs.qc and then compiling. (Yes, not a joke. That's it.) The map has to have some func_walls or something with alpha "0.7" in them.

I have a feeling your cooking something in the kitchen yourself

Haha. Yeah I have a few things going on.

Sweet, all mouse bugs seem to be fixed now.

Sometimes I still get the "sticky mouse" bug. That is, for a split of a second it's difficult to turn the mouse as if it is stuck, then it would be fine again.

Did this ever happen to anyone else?

I got this with version 1.80, 1.85, and now 1.90

My box's spec:
Athlon XP 1800+
Geforce9200 256MB
512MB DDR400
