Is this version compatible with Doom 3 BFG VR out of the box?

Github.com

If not, you folks might want to get together and figure out how to make this beauty work in VR!

That's unlikely.

Nice! Does it mean new non-skeletal models / textures / sounds can be added to the game?

Is it possible to create a standalone downloadable mod for DOOM using ver. 1.4 ?

Sikkmod is incompatible with Doom 3 BFG engine. Did you recreate all Sikkmod effects in Doom 3 BFG from scratch using Cg shaders ?

Can it extract textures? (most likely will be RGB DXT5 or YCoCg DXT5 compressed images if you manage to extract them from .bimage container)

I recall it's a simple fix for particles which you can add to RBDoom 3 BFG and recompile.

A brand new version of Phrozo Mod came out: Moddb.com

Please consider updating your mod with this awesomeness :)

Why can't you run the whole thing on your PC, then release a build with generated/ folder? This way people don't have to wait for the engine to compress textures.

How hard is it to run it on your development PC, and release pre-generated mod, so that end-users wouldn't have to bother waiting until their PC will convert all the raw data into BFG's formats?!?!?!?! Utter nonsense! This is the second mod that does it.

So, any reason why Coop mode source code isn't released yet ?

RBDoom 3 can't run with TGA and uncompressed / binarized assets. It will have to compress/binarize assets on the first run.

So I guess I have to sit tight and wait until engine finishes compressing all of the assets before I can start playing?

Did you modify the engine ? Cos there is really no difference running mod launcher or manually running .exe with cmd line parameters.

Did you figure it all out based on Doom 3 BFG launcher thread on Steam ?

Not too many. Implemented refraction shader fix and oblique projection to solve reflection artifacts. So now we got more or less decent reflecting water surface possible :)

Not too far I hope :)

What level editor is it ? I can barely see "hammer" in the header, but if it's Valve's Hammer, does it mean the map format you are using is HL1 BSP ?

Thank you :)

I released Doom 3 BFG mod launcher last night, along with 5 old mods prepped to run with Doom 3 BFG. Feel free to give it a spin: Kot-in-action.com

Storm Engine 2 video, as promised: Youtube.com

Heh, I could just play last levels of each game and watch the credits :P

Is there a list of level designers who worked on Doom 3 / RoE / Quake 4 / Prey ? (preferably with contact info)

Soft edge particles. This way you don't see obvious intersection between particle and other surfaces.

I do, but I'd like to have built-in editor with native preview ;)

So, functionality of DarkRadiant in our built-in Level Editor..

Posted a small update on Phaeton (ex-Steel Storm 2): Kot-in-action.com

Bloody DarkRadiant, all other Radiants, including Quake 4 Ed, allow resizing of lights by dragging sides.

There is no correlation between easy way of sizing lights and proper placement of lights.

We in 2014 by the way, so while more drawcalls is not as good as less drawcalls, with modern hardware there is a liberal tolerance allowing to work with idTech 4 creatively, and not mechanically.

idTech 4 does better with large lights, less lights. But it's not related to how you size lights. So, tools need to be fluent, not rigid.

Already figured it out. Kinda horrible way of resizing lights :/
Hopefully we'll improve that. I recall in Quake 4 Ed you drag sides to resize lights. Something like that will be handy.

Not quite the time yet :) Also, there will be no pull request - it will be standalone release.

Also, our engine is no use for BFG as all changes are made to make standalone games with it, not to mod BFG.

Ok, tried it. Holding Ctrl and using LMB drags light, leaving center where it is.

Can someone with working DOOMEdit record a video how to work with lights? It seems like we still have issues in that area after porting DOOMEdit into BFG engine.
