Quake 3 ASCII

[pchapman905]

Actually, I think adding colour would make it very playable.

[richardmaudsley77]

Somebody should get this to have colour. it would make it much easier to play as you could spot differing objects easier.

[AnthonySelectaII]

Time wasted - it's not a mod - it's a demo video recorded then played with a video renderer of Vlc or another simple video player, (I don't remember exactly the player but I tried many time ago for sure)

bye mates

[lafalot23]

Where is it possible to obtain this modification ?

[Blacklemon67]

doesn't bourne support colored text and background...

HOLY CRAP THAT WOULD BE AWSOME!!!

[Hiryu666]

"Bourne" is a shell. It's not up to bourne to support colors. Bourne and bash (Bourne Again SHell) simply execute commands and little more.

Colors are up to the terminal driver (ie xterm, vt100, etc) and presumably (n)curses.

try rendering on one pc then taking the ASCII conversion through a terminal to another PC that would be something

[LockHoodlum]

Thank you ATI!

"lol well i guess if you have an old comp this would be the way to go since it does not require rendering..."

Just.. no. It´s way more cpu-consuming, you have to process the scene twice, its the inverse, your computer has to be MUCH better than minimun Q3 requirements to play this way.. First the engine renders the 3d scene, then the output is re-rendered in ASCII by video the driver.

[GhostXoP]

@mafiaBH Yes well you do not understand the full power of the processor. This is basicallly nothing and you can really execute many things extremely fast. Its the graphics card and its handling of the polygons and lighting.

At the time cpu was faster then the gpu. Im guessing this however was done in ray casting. Your simple hierarchy rendering is a good idea as well.

[pdegameplayer]

lol well i guess if you have an old comp this would be the way to go since it does not require rendering...

also how the hell did you get the frequency of the camcorder and the monitor the same so now lines i mean i see 1 line but when i used to try to do that it would put several lines in it!

[gmail95pipe]

donde lo conseguiste??????????

[antoniomac6]

WOW

impossible is nothing!

real impressive

[jmpoder]

que lastima que el catalyst ya no permite configurar el 3d como ascii

[UglyChannel]

Parece que eres el único que tiene razón acá.

[nicknico2]

Interesante, yo tengo una SIS (placa de video) de 128Mb PCI nada más.

Por cierto, ¿ese es el <Quake III Arena> demo?.

[gmail95pipe]

un demo del juego(solo puedes jugar 2 o 3 levels)

[Gangularis]

i know of it for quake I.. i never saw it for quake 3.. where do i get the program to do this. you have to do it on linux, right?

[TOMPCpl]

Some game and programs are ported to aa libary.

This game too ant it runs in aa libary in this movie.

[HardcoreMazu]

This should be possible, there is one spefic ascii graphic library that can be used on game sourcecodes, never seen live tho.

[andreskrey]

Esta hecho con AA proyect, no?

[tajuru]

No, directamente con los drivers de ati. Tiene una opción para cosas como está. Con AA supongo que también se podrá hacer, aunque no se con que rendimiento.

[jmpoder]

JE JE, eso me imagine ya me anime a hacer un video asi tambien, lo malo es que si el juego tiene mucho detalle no se ve bien la imagen

[andygray119]

why did you not just you FRAPS or something and record it directly?

[HyperactivePanda]

Because it's not a game...

[Str4ngerr]

yeah, why?

[cheesy3000]

Just don't see enough..

[zordor]

Gran video :D
