I think im gonna sign a patent for the name truecombat, so i will be the only one who can use the name truecombat, but if coroner sign a patent for the game title before i do, then i wouldnt mind, i can always use a different game title, to sign a patent wil cost u 2000euros, its a win lose situation now,

Bro, three things.

A) You last few posts have had NOTHING to do with this thread at all. That means they don't belong here. So stop posting these silly ramblings here and make a new thread somewhere else.

B) Patents are for tangible things, products, inventions, etc. You would want a copyright, since the name is not a tangible item.

C) You last few posts have had NOTHING to do with this thread at all. That means they don't belong here. So stop posting these silly ramblings here and make a new thread somewhere else.

Just chiming in to say that I respect you, Coroner, along with the rest of the team that worked on the True Combat franchise.

There is literally no other game that plays like TC:E or CQB, for that I salute you and request that the game lives on!

Am I free to laugh yet? Or should I just face palm due to the lack of sense made?

Back on topic:

Should be able to run CQB more or less out of the box, is highly advanced compared to vanilla ET, has a a long series of buxfixes and stabilization efforts compared to ET:Xreal, and if you ask nicely I am sure the Unvanquish guys would allow you to modify the relatively realistic and good looking playermodel with a contemporary skin and all sorts of props to make it look like a modern day fighter suitable for CQB.

A standalone host for a moddable CQB is something I'd definitely like to see.

If that would happen, a 3rd party launcher shouldn't be too hard to create so it all comes in a nice package (think DayZ launcher).

I would love to see CQB revised, updated, and active on servers.

We need a dedicated team that is determined.

We need cool new features like flashlight, laser, and medkit.

Implement bots again! For people like me when all the Euros are sleeping .

We don't need to end the True Combat Legacy like this......

I tried to load CQB with ETlegacy. Unfortunately it failed, they seem to have changed something with the trap commands




The project seems otherwise quite lean and clean and the latest repository includes a GLSL renderer, don't know what their plans are though. Is anybody in contact with them?
Since they want to provide ET compatibility, it would be nice if CQB would be running

Oh ya, loving this...!

I send the creator of it an email asking to join this discussion.

But it would be great if something more than just mod compatibility would come out of this. I am sure the community would be happy to help out replacing all the remaining ET:Wolf textures and such, to go standalone based on ET:legacy.

More than compatibility would be great, of course. But it is the first step to start with
I am also curious whether they are heading for a stable integration of GLSL. Seems they have integrated some part of xreal. Would love if this would be the team that finally cares for a slow and stable integration of some pixel shader stuff without trying to catch up with the latest engines.
If this were true, I guess I get hooked again into ET/CQB
If it then gets z_feather (aka soft smoke edges) I have a big smile on my face.

Hi, we are very interested in making CQB compatible with ET:L and then cooperating further. I am a bit worried about those missing system traps though. How much does the project depend on the botlib? We've removed .. edit: some parts which we haven't seen used by any mod. I am on Mac otherwise I would have already been experimenting with this.


Yea, that's the plan!

Hmmm... Interesting... I want to see where this ends.

Who cares about the end, it's the beginning that matters brah. And this, is a beginning.

Hi Radegast,

thanks for joining the discussion.
I noticed that u removed the botlib but didn't investigate further, maybe u can tell me which trap 201 and 202 are. Quick check, I used TeamWhores old free Wolfenstein bot code, which uses

trap_BotAllocateClient
trap_BotGetServerCommand
trap_BotUserCommand

Otherwise a number of Bot traps are in g_save but I suspect these are from ET code.
Shouldn't changes/removing in the trap commands make all mods incompatible?

You could try TCE, it should have the same problem ...

Regarding graphical engine updates I would really love to see a team that cares for slow and stable integration of features! I was always looking for cooperation partners interested in this, sadly none came up yet.
The updated Q2 engines, all based on Lord Havoks stuff always seemed to be one step ahead of the xreal way when it comes to stability and compatibility. You might also want to have a look at UrT_bumpy engine.

I can offer code for a very fast implementation of adaptive exposure (an improved version of TCs HDR effect using the engine) and very fast bloom based on some Q2 GPL code for your project. I had booth implemented and tested (very pleasing) in an old otherwise not convincing xreal fork. I would also share my improved q3map2 lighting code with perceptive tone mapping.

I would love to see an implementation of direct sunlight shadowmaps blending into baked direct sun lightmaps with distance and mixed with radiosity lightmaps like in Cod series and newer UDK versions.
