It sounds like you have no choice but to implement a bones animation system. If you were incline to reduce the number of objects to just hand weapons and included the hand postition in each key-frame animation that would work too. Also realise that q3 models are broken into three parts, head, torso,...

Global undo? OMG now I might just go and use it now.

It used to suck not having a global undo

Thanks for the heads up

If you are using bone animation you can have the hand a separate node and just make the weapon a child node of it with a zero offset. It all comes down to knowing where the hand is and what direction it is facing. If your avatar is static or moves very little (like the marine's face in Doom I and Do...

I'm not familiar with GTA so bear with me...... I assume you want a 3rd person camera like Tomb Raider etc? If so you also have the problem that the camera is not point directly at the rotation of the node. The user swings the mouse, the character knows to turn left 30 degrees, the character doesn't...

Yeah some of the best games ever (IMO of course) were made for the Amiga 500 - man that rocked!

I haven't seen it because it crashed so don't flame me if the answer is obvious but does it use OpgnGL control points and splines? I know I had a few problems when I was attempting LOD terrain with OpenGL control points between NVidia and ATI.

I haven't used steam yet but from what I hear isn't there the really big problem that you can't register without being online? Sure this is becoming less and less of an issue these days but plenty of situations arise where someone might wish to player the single player version but not have internet ...

It crashes for me on start up.

Win2K SP4
P4 2.8
NVidia 5900XT (128mb)
All latest drivers etc.

Only funny stuff I have is beta drivers etc for shaders etc.

This is what I get:

I've waited 2 yrs for the game, I'm happy enough to wait a few more days to buy the blasted thing. I hope they have fixed up the regisration issue by then

I'm more excited by then new version of the UT2004 mod, Red Orchestra.

This is NOT just another WW2 sim ;)

If you don't like English, blame England for spreading over most of the world in the last 5 centuries. Or, we could start over any everyone who wants to talk here needs to learn Esparanto. =D lol, well when Queen Victoria ruled a quarter of the world we didn't have major world wars etc but now sinc...

I've been flat out as as lizard drinking. Exams etc.

Now it is time for some serious coding :)

I noticed a third aussie, he was from Brisbane as well!

So where in this great brown land of ours are you?

Excellent!!!

You can all learn my language rather than the other way around :)

Umm you can't patent stuff already in the public domain. The 3D patent should not have been granted due to the fact there are plenty of examples of displaying 3d images on a 2d surface that predate the aplication for that patent. I had an Amiga 500 back in the day, even it had limited 3d games. And ...

Ha, don't get me wrong - As an Australian my first preference is that everyone else learn English :) So I don't have to learn anything besides English

True but what about the fact a German-only speaker has to wade through lots and lots of English posts s/he can't understand. If there was a German only area that would help him/her rather than just leaving after finding it is just another English based group. Of course it might be solved if posts ca...
