Dis: are bounding boxes still hard coded in the quake.exe, or can it be changed from a .dll now? Trit: Player or Monster bounding boxes? dis: yeah I'm not sure... We're sort of in a transitionary stage right now, so the code is being worked on Dis: Make the bounding box collision effects DLL-based at least. So we can code realistic rotating platforms. what kind of stuff do you do at id? Bunso: A bit of everything, Web Page, Network Admin, Level Design hey dis wat levels u ever release? Dis: So you're basically filling the role of the company slacker, recently vacated by John Romero? dis: you doing lev design for q2? Tatter: Yes, I'm doing level design for Q2.. I hope to have 4 of my levels in the game (maybe 1 DM level too) Disruptor: okay I have a better question dis-> Why will it be hard to convert quake maps to quake2 maps? dis: hows the DM aspect? and...will the DM be WAY bettr then this damned QW :) I thought DM, in Quake2 was supposed to be based on QuakeWorld Bunso: As far as I know, the fundamental .map format will stay the same. ALl the tools have changed though will the Quake 2 engine have something like BUILD engine features like breaking glass, etc.? dis: speaking of qw... will quake2 crash my computer like QuakeWorld does? :\ tb: I think QW is pretty good Dis: Is Carmack seriously considering a sectored-volume architecture for Quake 2? And, if so, will it be capable of overlapping geometry like in DN3D? Tatter: Dunno Dis: The quake Mission from hipnotic added some cool special effects, like bullet holes, and exploading walls, will some of these things be in Quake2...? yeah QkePsycho: We have something called func_explodable (I think), which enables you to blow up a brush. So I guess that's kinda close disruptor-> when will 3drealms get the q2 engine from you guys? Bunso: I'd imagine so dis-> imagine what? Wizard: Don't know about bullet holes. That might be considered at the last minute and Carmack will prolly write the code in his sleep or something Disruptor, do you mind us bombarding you with questions?? huh?? do ya?? c'mon, tell me, do ya?? answer!! Nah... keep the questions coming... Dis: What is this rail gun thing I heard about? I've never seen "Eraser..." Tatter: It's basically a weapon that plows through any enemies until it hits a solid wall disruptor-> when is quake2 gonna be out? 2010 ? Bunso: "when it's done" gotta run... bbl Disruptor [Disruptor@underworld.idsoftware.com] has quit IRC (Leaving)
