I’ll be in Mesquite Texas attending QuakeCon from tomorrow (Friday) through Monday.

I’ll be hosting a small mapping conference on Friday evening from 6 to 7pm in the Cayuse conference room. It’s going to be informal, mostly Q and A, covering Q3Map2, shaders, and whatever else comes up.

Q3Map 2.2.0-b12. Supports lightmaps larger than 128x128 pixels stored as external TGA images, fogging of func_* brush model entities, _foghull (shader) support for _farplanedist clipped maps, misc bugfixes, preliminary Star Trek: Elite Force support (-game ef), external .srf scripts to store extra drawsurface data, and a bunch of other bits.

Q3Map 2.0.1. Fixed that pesky alphashadow bug, and most likely introduced motherboard-melting bugs as well. Enjoy…

How ironic; on the eve of my departure, the sun makes its presence felt.

To fill a need no one knew existed, now available: Shaderlab wallpaper. Get robotic with the gas-powered hot-air balloon floating around on a balmy day. Plain old Quake 3 map, if you believe it:

Should give Hamish a ring or something. I’m sure the date has some significance...

Update for the new year: Quit smoking, moved (again), cut all my hair off, fixed up Q3Map a spot, and been working on RtCW for PlayStation 2 and XBox.

Some skript kiddie hacked my mailserver a while ago. Until Zim gets it back up and running, I can be reached here.

This note covers the basics of tcGen vector, a powerful but little-used method of texture projection in the Quake 3 Arena engine.

Did a little hacking, and made a version of q3map [the Quake 3 map compiler] that removes unseen detail faces, lessening the need for meticulous caulking. Get it here.
