FuhQuake

[oppy]

I've decided to release the multiview client I've been working on. It's based on the fuhquake 0.28 source and can be found at http://www.daddied.com/oppy/fuhquakemv/.

Please note that it only works with mvd demos! Also if you have an ATI card remember to use -maxtmu2 on command line as fuhquake + mvd have an issue without that parameter.

Enjoy.. :)

great work Oppy

[Jebur]

This owns! Thanks Oppy.

[oldman]

would be nice to have a 'preserve aspect ratio' option for when doing cl_multiview 2

personally dont like the 2 views being stretched horizontally, would rather have some blank space

[dkure]

I like oldmans suggestion, would be good so some things aren't streched like crazy

But this is a very nice idea, espically usefull when trying to work out the tatics a team is using on a 4on4 game

[oldman]

another suggestion is this

in code terms:
if numplayers < cl_multiview.value

then instead of showing each persons pov more than once u could fill the other view with something useful like a top down view of the whole map possibly with drawnames on to show the duellers positions, obviously problem with this is the camera placing would be map specific but i'm sure it wouldn't take long to go through most common maps seen in mvds and choose some suitable co-ordinates to hardcode into the client

[oppy]

I'd rather crop off parts of the top and bottom - this, I believe, is what is done in Q3OSP.

[oldman]

huh? wouldn't that just make the ratio of horizontal to vertical even higher?

[oppy]

not at all if I use the aspect of a fullscreen view, simply cut off bits of the top and bottom to make it only fill half the screen.

[oldman]

oh i see what u mean - probably would work nicely, depends how much of the view u end up losing out on

[JKova]

My god. This one is just fantastic.

Very nice.

If anyone is having trouble with this, check first that you have gl_clear set to 0. Took me a while to figure that out

Anyway this could be used during a game by a team-based mod?
Just think about the possibility of a team based game having a captain that couldn't play, but instead was aloud to spec every team member and coordinate their teams efforts during the game.

By the way, I like this method of Fuhquake's development. That is, Fuh implements stuff he likes and gets to pick and choose from experimental clients. That way Fuhquake avoids becoming another Quakeforge (i.e. Bugforge), but at the same time other people get to contribute stuff if their stuff proves itself worthy.

[oppy]

thanks for pointing that out Scuba Steve, I have uploaded a fixed version so gl_clear 1 doesn't stuff it up

[oppy]

Luke: I don't see that happening and I certainly wouldn't want QW to have the coach mode that plagues Quake 3 :). Though I do see a possibility to have multiview working on a server so spectators watching a match at a LAN on a big screen get more enjoyment or perhaps a shoutcaster who will get an edge on reporting by seeing more views at once.

That 4 view stuff can really make your graphics card burn . By having 4 views she will have to render 4 views, having 4x work. But i nice feature, can't you modify it for realtime ?

who cares its leet gw oppy

It's a feature and every single feature is a good thing.
