[QUOTE=Darkwater124;33386706]You should add the Havok physics engine to that and mod the shit out of it. Also, make it able to walk around like a human and have weapons.
Then call it something like.. Euhh.. Origin? Hm..
No wait
Call it the Source!
Then release it and tell everyone you update it once in a month but just keep it easy and update every year.[/QUOTE]

It's using bullet, you can walk around and there's weapons of sorts.

If I was making something useable I wouldn't use any of valve formats, they are atrocious. I used to think that was because I didn't understand them but nope, they're actually terrible.

I decided to download and install the UDK and just dive in and try to make something with it. Does anybody of you know a good starting tutorial? The UDK documentation is really horrible for someone starting out...

[icantread49]

my app Tear and Burn now has a "live camera" mode ... instead of going into the camera app to take a picture, the camera image is displayed directly on the cloth in real time and you can hit "capture" to keep a static snapshot

Whats the most optimum way of drawing text in openGL(in a non deprecated way that works with oGL 2.1)

[editline]22nd November 2011[/editline]

[QUOTE=icantread49;33390057] - [/QUOTE]

Also do you still have that program of yours that took a font and created a texture along with a textfile containing all the letters and UV positions?

Render each character that you'll use to a texture, store the UV coordinates, then just render quads.

I give up on implementing multiplayer in my game. I'll just make it a singleplayer RPG :v:

Not really.

It's nothing more than a formality, really. He could've just as easily not added that with no consequence.

[acpm]

I like it when people ask me for help, actually. It keeps me a bit aware that people are using my work. For instance, people have contacted me over my work with Half-Life 2: Sandbox from universities, and asked me if they could derive some of my stuff for dissertations, etc.

[editline]22nd November 2011[/editline]

It also means my stuff isn't worthless, considering people take interest to it.

For a while I was waiting for something to go wrong in the visualisation, and then I realised that the music is probably not how it should be.
You could market that as a feature - it took me half the video to work out that the music was what was wrong :P
