Is there a way to give the players an option to install a version of 469 when they join a server, and then send it like an update? like the window that comes up for install ACE.
Theoretically you can write native mod for NPLoader. However it not good idea. NPLoader able install files, not replace files which be use. So this not possible update the game from the game itself.
Unfortunately that not possible. Currently real-time movers render as meshes. Which mean some limitations. Like different selection of surfaces for example.

Same goes for light. Light for meshes render differently. It use goraud lighting. So for not mess users, there no light.
For ability render same as in game, need add surface, which is destructive operation for BSP and can't be done on incomplete BSP.
So there can't be any light for real-time movers.
For work with light you still need use Show Polys as before. And this is destructive operation, which need rebuild level after, for remove this temporary brushes.
Holy mackerel!
Yes. Those shadows bake into maps and used during game. And by old clients too.
this is really some really incredible stuff! ya know at first i was thinking, what more could be done with 469e? I'm floored. bravo!Buggie wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2024 6:45 pmYes. Those shadows bake into maps and used during game. And by old clients too.
Also I forget show what mean "uniform shadows".
26. Uniform shadows.
Make shadows match across level. If not set, light build in old-fashion.
Spoiler
Here examples:Here you can see property of textures - floor texture scaled. So without "Uniform shadows" walls not match to floor. Here with "Uniform shadows" (I increase shadows for it be better visible):
27. Better Builder make less Nodes and more clean BSP
BSP builder got fixes, so now it work more properly.
Map build make more clean BSP and produce less Nodes, which increase FPS on complicated maps.

Here sshots of what mean more clean BSP (old internal tests):
Actually a lot things.
Yes, 469e completely support Windows 7. All video above actually recorded on Windows 7. (Maybe except second one about Edit movers).
