I commented about it around in Discord, but not in here:

The demise of CSCO is a good reminder about why I consider that staying on the SDKs is a dead end

We must develop our own open source solutions, and move away from Valve

PATHOS, Nuclide... heck, even my idea of using IDTech3 as base...

also the blinking cylinder is from a rgbMod shader command i've implemented which can animate vertex colors on a surface with some patterns and target colors involved. I felt it was a necessary addition and something idtech3 could've had earlier

Also something to mention here #idSoftware open sourcing #idTech3 was a blessing to keep the game alive and prosper even today, while #UT99 has to be kept alive with hacks and dedicated fans who could do better with the source code, because the leaders at Epic are dipshits.

Quake III Arena (1999). Unpopular opinion: I like Q3A more than Unreal Tournament 99, probably for the only reason that I played Q3A first.

yeh and that killed so much momentum for the engine, like prior id engines were wildly popular, idtech3 looked like it was in *everything* for a while, but everything hit a wall with tech4, the difficulty spike was ridiculous. I love the engine and the game, but damn :( q4 is no different

They actually developed and prototyped WoW using the idTech3 engine (Q3A/RTCW), so we're actually talking about a codebase built from 1996. Q3A launched in 1998, and stretchy 512x512 for character models were the industry norm.

מפה חדשה שלי בעצת חבר, חבר צוות במקום: ורדיאל 17 מתל אביב.

אחרי שצילמתי מלא תמונות משם היום לטקסטורות.

המטרה היא גאווה לאומית שיש מפות ומאפר למקומות פה מהארץ, כדאי שידעו שהכל פה פעיל וחי. וגם להגשים חלומות ילדות שלי ואני מגשים הכל.

both it and RTCW look really nice with IDTech3's lighting model and texture capabilities being used for more realisitic environments

"COD4 is based on COD2, which is based on COD, which is based on idtech3, so I used Jedi Academy as a reference for a good amount of the framework"

But they don't! Sure, it sounds like MS might have laid off almost anyone maintaining engines besides IDTech3 variants in the past couple of months, but the L7 implementation in CoD is pretty critical to the feel of the game online.
