Ogre Forums

jikbar wrote:Ogre should expose more functionality from Quake3 levels. it would be really nice to attach a Quake3 level to a scene node so that it can be rotated, scaled, etc (you can see how this might come in useful for flipping Z and Y without changing the camera) . Also, the Quake3 level class should include a parser to create a list of all entities in the map so that things like jump pads can be loaded into a game without an extra Entities file. right now, the only entity data i can get from a map is start positions, which isnt very useful since the map is loaded internally through setWorldGeometry() and it cant be accessed without loading the map twice.

if anyone wants, i could make the modifications since this is already a major issue with my project (it might take a while since im still learning how to use Ogre, but 'awhile' for me is a much shorter amount of time than it is for others )

Did Q3A end up get GPL'ed? If so maybe you could work on this now.

Err, rather than you just waiting for someone else to do something, why don't you have a search around the internet yourself to see whether or not the answer to your question is true or false.

Then, if the Q3A format has been GPL'd maybe you could work on this?

A few changes has to be made to the editor and compiler before it can work completly with OGRE.
I'll keep you guys updated on this (imo) great stuff.

And yes, this means OpenFrag is gonna support 2 seperate map formats.
- DotScene
- GBT (GETIC BSP TREE)
