is there a shorter way to explain it after i watched this video, knowing about wishdir and vel way, knowing all the vector stuff?

Outstanding job! Any news?

I thought my headphones is dead

i dont understand anything maybe im just too dumb for that

LOL

Great explanation. How about "Zero Weird Over Bounce" or short ZWOB? There are actually some defrag maps that require such bounces and i still haven't mastered such stages yet 😞 From my understanding, you need some bindings and a very low mouse movement to make that work - but i have no idea what exactly. Btw, that OB visualization mod looks awesome! Much clearer than the one from the defrag mod itself.

Very Great.

Why are the segments called leaves? Are they using a tree analogy here? If so, what is the branch term used for?

excellent! Years (decades) ago, I watched the trick jumping movie "Tribulations" and had no idea what was going on. This is by far the best explanation I've seen and your animations and your mod are great!

Connor mentioned, that you've developed a tool/mod, which visualizes when the invisible beams hit enemy's (He showed it in rhe end of his video ... the one with the purple sparkles). Where did you publish it? I would like to try it out myself very much as I am sure are others 😊

This is one of the coolest things I've seen about Quake. Congratulations on the work!

Just watched this for the 20th time and finally understood. SO SATISFYING!

What is life without Quake? that's the question!

Source games still do this, as it is pretty much a glorified Quake engine fork :)

Sometimes I wonder if stuff like this can be threaded to make it faster. Not that it really matters anymore, but as an academic experiment for those old dual and quad Pentium Pro setups.

Holy crap... I can see why Carmack & Romero mentioned that Doom was kind of the sweet spot where the average person can reasonably understand how the engine renderer works and how building out a custom level works, where Wolfenstein was too simple create anything all that interesting and Quake is just that smidge too complex for most people to wrap their heads around.

Absolutely amazing work both on the mod and the presentation.

But doesn't it work only for static objects? I think, that for dynamic objects you need to recalculate the tree each tick

how do the doors work ;O

I love seeing these old game dissected, particularly quake because it's the first fps I played.

Great job 👍

Thank you! Scaling the dot product, max accel and run speed gives you control over the optimal strafe speed

That graphic to 3d object jumps are at 4:10 was BEAUTIFUL

Production value for this video is insane. Great job.

Did you share your mode?

This may seem overcomplicated for Quake but this sort of thing is EXACTLY how Doom mappers implement more complex logic in their maps. Sometimes I wish you'd get into DOOM. There is a mountain of engine knowledge and trickery there. (Well, vanilla is comparatively cut and dry, BOOM on the other hand...)

Looking back at early 3D games, it baffles me that Quake has no out-of-bounds exploit unlike its contemporaries. Probably a sign of how solid the programming of it was.

Out of curiosity are the individual face lightmaps stitched together into an atlas? It seems like an expensive operation to bind a lightmap texture on a per-face draw call.

Awesome video, thank you for it.

This video gives me DmRadicus (DmRadikus?) vibes. It was a non-euclidean map from the first Unreal. (Not Unreal Tournament, regular Unreal.)

I wish you did something similiar with VQ3 movement

I think, it would be easier, if you'd replaced bot client's models to something easily recognizable.

Chess: Combat Evolved

that thumbnail is gold :')

lol. i love the warcraft 2 voice line there for the pawn at the end, 7:32

chess battle advanced

Awesome!

would love to see a video diving deeper into bots with deathmatch bots

"(and it's not an LLM)" is kinda sad. I cannot search up some good AI for games nowaday

So, where's the AI? Right, can't use normal titles, only dumbass clickbait is allowed.

finally, ai that isnt a neuronet

so thats why i had differt jump heights and speeds when setting my com_maxfps in call of duty modern warfare lol. Decade old mystery cracked.

Cool! One of my favorite mods from back in the day.

Cool project. I had starting making a stand-alone extendable Quake client in C several years ago, and I was also thinking of using it to make a Quess bot. I never ended up finishing the client though.

Nice chatgpt intro.

Great work!

To the question of QuakeC and its source, did you try any of the various decompilers on the progs.dat file? I'm not suggesting that this would necessarily be a super-productive errand, but it could be interesting.

Team Impact's output was amazing. Great to see this video, I remember being desperate for someone to play Quess against as a lonely child with a really poor dialup connection. Netquake at 300ms was a slideshow.

Beautiful stuff here!
