RTCW Remake already in progress..

[Dude123 Profile]

Hey just wanted to let you guys know, this is already happening, just not by iD.

The engine code for RTCW was released as open-source on 08/14/2010. I've already got a working version with fast http redirected downloads and bloom lighting. (Thank you ioQuake3 and OpenArena)


and


My long-term goal is to merge RTCW with ET-Xreal.
See here:
http://xreal-project.net/?p=362

Forums software won't let me upload a 600k zip and I don't have hosting yet. I'm trying to find some that's free and trusted right now. If the admin wants to boost the attachment size I'll upload it.

I don't like ET but what would you like the attachment size increased to?

Yes we have been using the bloom effect on our test server for a while now and love it I can not wait for Dude123 aka =KT=Super Retardo does next I an wanting him to convert more ET maps for RTCW

Yeah id have to agree that more ET maps (I've already seen braundorf, supply depot, and maybe one more) on rtcw would be a great start! But i also think its going to need new original maps that have to be good enough for people to be willing to take the time to learn them.
There are alot of lazy people out that playing these days that for instance, on version 1.0 will just play on mp_base x2lives deathmatch. -_-
Hopefully something will get going out of this remake anyway, and well done for already putting in some effort KT.

edit- just checked out that xreal thing... think hes pretty cool. How long approximately is long term for your goal?

@wolfmp...

Upload increased to 750kb plz :p

I got a single zip file..

you are right what they are doing with xreal right now is ET...

I'm talking about using it for RTCW though...the code is similar enough that 80% of the work they are doing is going to be work I want to do for WolfMP.

The map in the pictures by the way is YPG_KINGS for RTCW, NOT OASIS FOR ET.

You can get it here:

@dash, idk about timelines...gotta see if the ET-Xreal project progresses any further soon. The engine version I am about to upload is not based off Xreal, but my own work to pull together some code from other projects and incorporate my own fixes into some of the RTCW stuff.

attachment size increased

Okay...

Download the attached zip. Unzip it to your RTCW directory.
I highly recommend making a shortcut, but you can also just double-click on the file.

Cvar's that tweak the bloom lighting start with "r_bloom"
"r_bloom" by itself toggles it On/off.

Setup fast downloads the same way you would with an ET server. The cvar's are the same.

The following are minimum requirements:
P4 or better processor
512 Mb Ram
Windows XP
Opengl 1.3 or better video card

A little higher than RTCW originally but nothing outrageous ATM.

You may also need MSVC 2008 from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=a5c84275-3b97-4ab7-a40d-3802b2af5fc2&displaylang=en

I have been following your mod for a while Retardo. It is absolutly great the work you are doing.

RTCW with a fast redirect would be awesome! Custom maps server with fast downloads.

If/when this is ever ready to be tested, I hope to know. I have a dedicated box, so I can setup and run whatever is needed.
