Which format - Quake 1, Half-Life, or Condition Zero?

All 3?

but isnt condition zero and half life the same format, because they are essentially the same engine... I believe quake falls into that category as well

Quake's MDL format is simplistic and animates based on the positions of individual vertices (I think).

Half-Life's MDL format is based on skeletal animation.

Condition Zero (or Half-Life running under Steam) offers a few new features like detail textures, translucencies (I think?), and the like. Some modellers have taken advantage of the translucencies at least, making objects with faked specular highlighting.

Quake should be simple because I have the source code. Half-Life is a different matter. Don't expect anything. Maybe I find a way but first I want to make MD2/DMD work so that people can use the models from the JDRP.

I think the new model features you speak of are due to additions and changes to some of the rendering DLL's. I have some of the Steam Half-Life DLLs and I can play the old WON-edition of the game with models that were originally for the Steam version, ie they have translucency and other stuff like that. Anyway, sorry to get off subject.

omg Graf are you seriously adding models?! This makes my day. So when is this supported? next version?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 18:44

When it's done!

I hate that line....

Models in GZdoom?

is.. is this real?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 19:02

Not yet.

Post by **Paul** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 19:14

YET. So the suggestion itself is valid I presume

Let me guess-no models in software rendering though? Just curious.

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 20:04

Of course not. Without a z-buffer rendering models isn't really possible.

You've got to send me a WIP of the models THIS INSTANT!! (pm of course)

Stop acting like an idiot. More of this nonsense gets deleted. This is my last warning!
