Xycaleth Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 On halt for a while (don't know how long). I'm in between jobs atm and working on rend2 was kinda stressing me out... DT. and gerbilOFdoom like this Link to comment
DT. Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 No worries, just curious. De-stress, have some chocolate. Darth Sion likes this Link to comment
Xycaleth Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Btw, if any changes do come about to spatial partitioning, I wouldn't use octrees. They aren't friendly for optimal memory accesses. Instead I would recommend a regular grid of cubes (e.g. 512x512x512 in size) which have stuff in them and then loop through each cube and see if it's visible. Any changes of these kinds (whether it's octrees or not) would also need changes to q3map2... Link to comment

Avoozl Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I know I'm late at saying this but I'm sad to see the weather go, it did add to the ambience of certain maps quite a bit. Archangel35757 likes this Link to comment
DT. Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 It didn't go, it just hasn't been implemented. I wouldn't expect any more updates for rend2, at least for a while though. Xycaleth I think has either left the project, is burnt out or is too busy. Link to comment

ensiform Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Nope. Too many other things going on. Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Nope. Too many other things going on.So are you speaking only for yourself? Or every one at #jacoders? Link to comment
ensiform Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Myself, but I know that mostly everyone else in jacoders has said previously they don't know much about renderers. I don't even go to #jacoders anymore so why ask that? We knew this going in that mostly only xyc was going to work on it and may go stagnant and other life issues anyway have affected every other aspect of OJK development so there's that as well.

DT. Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 @@Xycaleth I noticed some updates to ioquake3's rend2. Any chance you could apply them to openJK's rend2? Link to comment
ensiform Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Not likely when he gave up on OJK and rend2 And there have been updates to it for quite a while when he was still working on it anyway because they may not apply anymore anyway? Link to comment
DT. Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 When did he give up? I don't remember seeing it anywhere. If someone gives up on a project, it's nice to let the project followers know. Link to comment
Xycaleth Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've had a look over the ioq3 rend2 changes and they don't add anything useful really. It's just different function calls to do the same thing. Archangel35757 and DT. like this Link to comment

ensiform Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Unless there is activity (not counting merges from master branch) on the main repository's rend2 branch soon, I'd say it's dead. No idea who Miracle Max is. Link to comment

No idea who Miracle Max is. From the film Princess Bride. But yes, if the project isn't being worked on for months and no plans in the future, it's dead.
