Portal in space_elevator_v3r2 in Xonotic git 26 May 2010

[304Stephen]

I suck at compiling.

[Nabo00o]

Wohooo!

Now you can finally create my portal fantasy, which is something like two portals in a down hill. You slide down into the lowest one which send you back to the top one ! :D

Also, think if weapons fired through the one portal can get out from another to send it back to the source? Not infinite feedback of course, but sorta like mirrors and light?

And yeah, you've guys have done a great job on this entire game!

[youmakeitwhatitis]

@Nabo00o I feel like you haven't played the game portal before (definitely not ridiculing you). Am I wrong? If you really haven't I suggest looking up a few gameplay videos.

[Nabo00o]

@youmakeitwhatitis

No, and I don't plan to either. It just seems boring to base an entire game play around that concept ...

I have seen some people play it, and online videos. Nah, I'll do something else like playing Nexuiz or Tremoulus (my new favorite game!).

[youmakeitwhatitis]

@Nabo00o Nexuiz, or Xonotic? (pick the second one)

[Nabo00o]

@youmakeitwhatitis

Yeah..... well. Actually some of the radical thing they have been doing in Xonotic makes me less happy about the game. I know they see the fork as an golden opportunity to change/improve the game, but I wish they wouldn't have made it this different. I have read the entire Alientrap tread about the change over (very sad, and they seem to have removed it!), but I like the game how it was. Some things could be improved, but basically it was a very cool game.

[the2ck]

@Nabo00o Was? I still play nexuiz almost every day.

[the2ck]

@Nabo00o It isn't boring the first time you play because the concepts and story are new. Haven't played Portal 2 though.

[DebuggerNexuiz]

@TheCobraMad There is no date yet. You can download a git version. forums.xonotic.org

Here is additional information. :) Have fun.

[Rik4100]

w8 a sec thats NEXUIZ!

[blender3dartist]

@Rik4100 Not anymore. They split, Nexuiz's original developers sold them out (if I may be so blunt.) Xonotic is the NEW Nexuiz.

[Speedx0]

Will that be the new music to this map?!

[Imprezaman555]

good luck "testing" it :P

[FischKopfD]

Nice music sounds kinda like halo music. :D

[16coreprocessor23]

when is the release?

[DebuggerNexuiz]

@16coreprocessor23 Noone knows :) They everytime say, "when its done..." So we all have to be patient

[GangAngel13]

I like that background music. I cant believe your using the quake engine. Great stuff

[WAJMhome]

@GangAngel13

I know you can't believe it! Because it's the darkplaces (based off quake but not quake) ENGINE :D

[GangAngel13]

@WAJMhome Yeah I'm a current quake mapper for nazi zombies portable I know!!!!! This thing is amazing!!! It looks like its using the source engine xD

[WAJMhome]

@GangAngel13

lol, the source engine cant do this except when its been hacked like by the portal dev team :3

Source engine overall isn't as amazing iirc but I'm not sure.

[spugintrntl]

Looks sweet! Can't wait to play it!

[MasterDK94]

haha awesome ;D

[frontenbrecher]

uihh.. Portals look really nice but will totally change gameplay.

(say spatial awareness loss)

i am not sure if that will be nice to play.

maybe you like interdimensional flasks n such, but thats just gimmicky and counterintuitive.

however, as an option (if not used too much) it may be fun.

[hal970fx]

@frontenbrecher

I'd say the portal is a very nice improvement over the classic quake starscreen-teleporter. Not being able to fire through portals has always been one of my complaints about the Quake-derived engines.

[qwertypower9]

So Xonotic will basically a rerelease of Nexuiz with a different name so it can avoid confusion and copyright issues?

[raimokr]

uh, nice!

[DebuggerNexuiz]

8-DDDDD

I think I jizzed in my pants!

Thats so awesome!

[Vordreller]

Awesomesauce

[Speedx0]

cool solved :)

[UnderSkys]

i hope they save nexuiz physycs.. :)

[qubodup]

@AFreakinProblem wo cares! Portals! XDXDXDXD

Well, yeah, some weapons are not only ugly, but also boring. Basically, I only care for the laser for jumping, RL for killing, MG for sniping and Blue-Balls thing for pissing people off :D Hopefully something will be done about this (and not by adding more weapons like they did in Nexuiz :)

The best thing about Nex is it's movement IMHO.

[qubodup]

Saw AFP's txt twice. Though I'd be deleting the dup. What he wrote:

@qubodup

I hate to be a dick when I say this, but as far as actual gameplay and weapon balance is concerned I can honestly say the current git is a mess right now. Seriously, they placed the same health limit as in Quake III and you can only stack 100 armor on top of that the HLAC, Crylink, and machine gun all share a similar fire mode and the weapon balance is a mess. I guess that's why they call it development and not release.

[10samm10]

What happened to the crylink? It is rapid now.

[qubodup]

@10samm10 yeah, second firemode is rapid. much nicer than the slow spread that always disappointed :| this is svn/git version, so that's why it's different

[Cuinnton3]

oo someone made a video of it :)

Will look so much better once FruiteX applies the lighting! :)

[KIAaze]

It would have been nice to see yourself through portals, or shooting at yourself. :)

I didn't even know Nexuiz had portals now. Never played it much. Not my type of game.

But I'm glad to see "portal-type portals" (i.e. with vision) getting into open-source games.

[WAJMhome]

@KIAaze

If you get the current GIT of the Xonotic Add for Netradiant then you could place a couple portals like that and kill yourself :D

[fabsb0t]

woah! VERY nice work! gratz cuinnton!
