That kinda wasn't the idea though. (although it is kinda funny that you mention it like that) My original intention is that the community could benefit from such info (also, I have no idea how any of these look ingame, so somebody willing to test, give it a shot (especially paperPhysics))

it did work for a few of my servers but at odd percentages. Some old JKA sites also advise com_hunkmegs 128 for incredibly huge maps.

Com_hunkmegs is literally not used by the game though. The code creates the cvar, and then it is never again used or mentioned anywhere.

am i missing something here? >.>

Magnavolge disabled all of my servers for having Gunslinger's Academy on them, probably because they're sponsors of MB2

Maybe there could be a rating system for reviews, and the most popular review gets pinned to the file description.

The only thing a .glm exporter is good for is weapons, unless you found some way to export while going around the compile process that was used by the very developers of this game which was .xsi 3.x->assimilate->.glm that calls for the _humanoid.gla.

Assimilate is just a compiler, the assimp method I was thinking of using would eliminate the need for assimiliate and exporting to .xsi and just export straight to .glm (with an optional skeleton from .gla) from any normal model format (.dae, .xsi, .obj, .max, .blend ...)

EFX parsing is working itself along. The fields aren't fully parsed yet, so it thinks that some fields are there that shouldn't exist. (I didn't get all of the fields parsed today. might be a while)

Also note the various differences in the game as a result of porting to a new setup (iojamp named in the console, blue text in some places, etc)

What's your opinion of moderately expensive on a newer system with newer video card and loads of ram?

Video card doesn't really matter, JA does a lot of it's rendering on the CPU due to an awkward engine interface in general. RAM also has literally no effect in this case.

I'd really like to know more about collision, the main thing that bugs me about this game is the bounding box's, a dynamic collision mesh would be far better.

ghoul 2 models already use mesh based collision, see lightsabers, which do basically no bounding box collision at all (except htey kinda tend to sometimes...see MB2 passthrough). The whole saber collision is a little weird though.

Caelum, I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Potentially the lugor server could be interfering somehow? Not sure.

Serverside mods don't touch the trail (or any kind of weapon effect period). They can do some funky things with the functions of guns though (the rocket luancher's homing alt fire is completely server side)

I'm just kidding, I believe that you can do prone. Just seeing if you would actually make it so I could take a look and see what method(s) you used

tbh, I'd rather have an assimp-based GLM exporter app (or ghoul2 for iojamp, hint hint), that way a lot of the different formats could be supported and nobody would be limited to one tool that does a specific thing.

More unused fields:

- materialImpact: when added to an effect, crashes the game (usually)

No thanks. My avatar seems pretty good. It's what some people recognize me by.

Looks good. I'll probably at some point be photoshopping additional stuff onto it.

Suggestions for improvement will be processed and handled.

 

2.1

I think I came. Looks great, a;though i would change the proportions a little bit.

Magnavolge sucks. Don't go with them.

make prone and then i'll believe you

Here we go again. Looks like Raven added a whole bunch of flags to the engine parser for .efx that aren't referenced by EffectsEd, but ARE used in the game. You'll have to add these flags via NotePad (EffectsEd does NOT add them to the effect, but the engine still looks for them)

flags:

- ghoul2Collision: Performs DIRECT COLLISION with any Ghoul2 model in the world (including players). Moderately expensive. Apparently works better in SP than in MP (cannot confirm)

- ghoul2Decals: Puts a decal on a ghoul2 model (incuding players). Not very expensive.

- relative: Unknown. Probably was a WIP of cheapOrgCalc. Does not work in SP.

- paperPhysics/localizedFlash/playerView: Unknown what all of these are, but flip the same flag (so they all do the same thing on different segments), but seems to suggest that the effect is based off of wind. localizedFlash is used by Flash segments only. These do not work in SP (they are physically not referenced)

On the flip end of things, spawnflags "lessAttenuation" does not do anything in MP (it DOES work in SP however)

OH NO YOU DINT

I respect you very much and you are a greater coder than I, but truly great people understand that there's no such things as limitations

I'M TOTALLY NOT COMING UP WITH RANDOM THINGS TO AVOID THE ARGUMENT

fack you and your uh...idk

I wouldn't jump to saying something like that, I believe scooper has figured out a way to do it (via brushes(?)).

You also need to have a brushmodel of the player in the map, which is less than ideal in most circumstances

A few of the base maps have been included as part of a packaged deal with GTKRadiant (go nosing around C:\Program Files (x86)\Lucasarts\... if you want to see them, though I wouldn't hold your breath as GTKRadiant 1.4 and down have been known to cause severe issues with Win7/Steam copies of JA due to people not knowing how to code things properly)

This is never going to happen, mostly because bounding boxes do not physically allow for it without rotation (which is impossible without immense reverse engineering -- and it's no small task either)

nah i was hoping for something a bit grungy or involving my avatar somehow. thats a bit too colorful for my tastes
