Thanks to the well respected programmer, Mexicouger, Left 4 Quake has a brighter future than ever. External texture support, decals, and more! Some of you may have seen Revamped lead by the dedicated Mexicouger. Mexicouger has sprinkles many great features into his engine, such as decals and external textures. I've talked to Mexicouger and he has agreed to allow me to use his engine as a base for Left 4 Quake. So the same great engine that powers Revamped is going to fuel Left 4 Quake as well.
First up external textures. As you can clearly see we have no limit to colors anymore
Below is the same 16 million colors color wheel on each sign, the left is loaded through quake's
bsp map, the one on the right is loaded externally (TGA)
As you may have seen above we have a new pistol, and it is in game, coded and fully loaded and also
loaded externally. Here is the pistol putting a few holes in the wall.
Next up, the SCAR. Also fully loaded and coded, as well as an externally loaded texture.
Also a side note, don't mind the disappearance of the HUD, its a matter of including one file when
I compile the engine in which i havent gotten to yet.
I hope you all enjoyed the update, and we apologize for keeping you all waiting, but good things come to those who wait, even if it is for 2+ years lol. The only missing content is quality, finished maps, if we could get an active mapper or two to give us 3 - 5 maps, we could release a SINGLE player demo. Well thats all we got for now. Don't forget to stop by Revamped's page and thank Mexicouger for this update. No, I'm serious, I'd better see some thank you's and more followers on his page. Expect more things to come from Left 4 Quake, and expect big things out of Revamped.
That's great news! Just let the updates coming.
Who is going to do the mapping part? Since we left. It's nice update, but I guess it's not worth trying to finish the project.. 2 years and more passed. And hardly someone is still doing any work?.
Im still here, i can do a little of everything, but mainly coding, rushhot models, UVs, and skins, and I convinced Necrod to come back. So really we just need a mapper(s)
im here...
Hey guys
wow thats cool of him lol now this game is going to kick even more @ss
Hell Yeah! awesome all the way!
To tell you the truth, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 is very popular here in the Philippines, even to girls. When I heard that a PSP version is being made, I quickly rushed at the site. Turns out my expectations didn't fail me. If you need support, never hesitate to ask us, your supporters. More power!
SCAR looks awesome
Great news!
Something to ask:
I haven't heard about bots being available in L4Q for months. Are you still going to proceed in creating teammates? Just curious again.
probably not the initial demo release unfortunately, there is still a lot of AI work to do. How you like it if the bots shot the Witch as soon as they saw her? What if your bleeding out and the bots are just staring at you? lol. They need some work so a single player, bot-less demo will probably be released (soon), and I hired a mapper today btw :D
hey ghost fang. Can i have the revamped engine you have. Mexi leftt the psp and i was just gona ak to use his engine. (i said no before but seing this makes me want)
I do understand. Stupid AI will suck if not planned. And a new mapper? Great news! I smell the demo coming...
Goody ;)
To Nate[Extra info]: I should be optimizing the way Kurok loads the textures using a text file or some other naming convention. Bake the texture address into the model or something, therefore saving memory.
Brilliant!
Hey are we going to be using brush based doors or modeled doors?
Perfect news mate
you certainly do Americans great games do well, why do not you do what a game about Chernobyl
do not judge strictly on the text just teach English
Can you make this an offical firmware game like nazi zombies portable?
so now that you can load external textures, is it posible to have diferent hands skins??
No, not just cause we have external textures. Yes because mexi included weaponskin int his engine
yay!
this looks great, SCAR FTW
were can i dl it
Pay attention and you would know the answer
so were can i download it
cool
i have question regarding PC version (as im most centrainly going to play Pc version of L4Q)
It sounds you "switch" to new engine which is forked from quake/kurok engine. So is there still going to be darkplace engine for PC version ?
I totally agree with shiprocker, L4D is popular here in the philippines. You are about to make an incredible impact once you finish L4Q. PSPs are now cheaper here in our country and a portable L4D is really a headturner.
You guys are the modern day Dr. frankenstein..why? Um, 'coz he sought for an alternative, scientific way to create life aside from sex. Hahaha. Like him, you created an existing game but with the feature of being portable.
Next target? How 'bout Dead Space? Hehe. Or any survival horror games that involves flashlight. :)
