JK animations use Euler angles and mandate linear interpolation tweening.


I don't know what any of these words mean :confused:

Seeing how this seems to be backward compatible with the LEC levels, am I to assume all the old levels/mods should work?

It means JK's animations are so old and busted you have to write the animation system yourself, you can't use an existing solution on the market to save time.

Sounds like we have a volunteer! Thanks, Emon!

When will you be adding Oculus Rift support?

Are you sure you really want it, though? JK isn't the kind of reality I want to be immersed in.

Eventually. If you want it quicker you can always buy me a DK, but the production Rift will probably be out before this is finished.

Mentat wins. And here he's asking for MORE Oculus Rifts. That's just greedy.

You know, I never really noticed because I was a kid when I first played it, but the level design in this game's a bit weird, innit?

-I can't imagine 8T-88 having taken the same path Kyle does in the first level, for example.
2013-08-10, 5:56 PM #56
The linearity isn't really realistic, but I always liked the semi-realistic sense of location, in that it feels like you're in a real place filled with things that have some function, like all the cargo stuff in Nar Shaddaa, or the freight thing in the valley. At least for it's time that was impressive.

I agree, though that bar in Nar Shadda seems really oddly situated. Sure, it's a literal hole-in-the-wall, but if you were heading there after a long day watching the droids lift cargo crates, you'd have to go well out of your way to get there, including walking along that little diagonal bit of floor against the wall where the guys are shooting at you from above.

-Maybe there's a mass transit service that stops at the platform there that we just never see during the level.

I can't remember how the game's events were depicted in the audiobook version, but I remember Bossk or someone getting involved and some other freaky jazz.

Yeah, JK was the first FPS I played where the levels actually resembeled plausible locations instead of crazy-ass mazes. Baron`s Hed, the fuel station, Kyle`s dad`s house, the Imperial dig site, etc.

I always try and put doors and closed off passages in my levels so the player thinks it's a lived in environment, and there isn't just one weird linear walk with crazy jumps and cargo elevators.

Nice! Will you also be including the ability to do colored lighting?

Note to self: CreateThing(template, location_thing) also gives the created thing all of the frames from location_thing. This should probably be documented somewhere.

I tried to edit the page on JKHub but it tells me I need to be logged in, even though I am logged in. Because JKHub is terrible.

I like how Kyle's in tremendous pain whenever he has to turn on the field light.

Keep it up Jon'C!!

I can't watch the video with sound on since that Kyle scream cracks me up each time. Curseth be my affection for cheap laffs!

Aside from that, this is just effing splendid. Major props to Jon!

(Also, I just realized that I've played that level quite differently for at least 10+ years now. Fuh-reaky!)

Are the shiny bits on the wall just directly from the field light??

Note to future documentation effort, rates in JK are premultiplied by 10 unless they aren't.

Do you need any normal maps for that lighting?

Eventually. My only real priority is making the game playable. I don't want people making assets for this thing yet, if that's what you're asking.

It was indeed. I already have several Normals made for these textures for my UT3 ports. When the time comes, hit me up.
