New Quake3 Level loader tutorial?
Author
Will there ever be a new Quake3 level loader tutorial with collision detection support?
how about a full game tutorial? that will be half of the engine man

Yeah, would be cool :-)
I coded 6 pages of algorithms and functions for collision detection yesterday, but, as you can imagine, it didnt work
Collision detection sux

I''m sure Google could help you guys find material on the q2 bsp file format. I think there''s a doc on flipCode too.

Yes I definitely would be interested in a Q3BSP tutorial, but it should be split into different aspects : file format, space partitioning, rendering shaders (on oldest and newset GFX boards), collision detection...
Writing such a tutorial probably requires a team.
Who wanna take the lead ? ;*)

The q3bsp loader on gametutorials.com just supports polygons and space partitioning (that''s quite good since I don''t know of any other q3bsp tutorial). It give a good overview of the file format, though.
I guess a tutorial that supports everything (meshes, billboards, bezier patches, animated shaders, effects, collision detections, handling correctly the ZIP file.........) would be a real killer.
I would really be happy to see that on NeHe''s site and maybe I can contribute (for easy things ;*).
Anybody else interested ?
The aftershock renderer supports quite a lot of things (see http://www.planetquake.com/aftershock/) and could be a good starting point. But it is definitely not a tutorial.

I know Aftershock, but the source is rarely commented and isn´t very useful for me.
I found a q3 map loader with collision detection, but its based on directx and coded under pascal *grrr* That sux!

i hope there won t be such a tutorial out in the near future or everyone starts copy and pasting
a good tutorials explains how it basically works with pseudo code
if you present a working source code nobody will bother working it out on his own
you don t have to support lazyness of copy&paste
either you are willing to work out the code on your own or you should learn a bit more about the subject
tutorials should only discuss the theory if it shows you the code you won t learn anything no even the basics that why i have never had a look at gametutorials.com
