Too lazy to post all the stuff here, so check out it's website and the videos on it:

www.cobaltrunner.smmas.com

It's a PSP game using Quake as a base for it's engine, but quite a bit has changed from Quake and I doubt it's even compatible with it any more.

Also, if you're too lazy to check out the [awesome] site, then I respect that. Here's the latest video:

Wow, that certainly looks like a good bit of work, and it's certainly evolved beyond the Quake engine it started with :P. Nice work, Downsider.

There's such a double standard about religion in the modern world. Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal.

But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

Good freaking lord, sir. if you don't mind my asking, what map format does this game use? I'm somewhat fluent in Hammer if it uses .bsp and I'm also good with textures ;)

It used to use Quake's BSP format, but I modified it to load Half-Life's BSP format because it's an improvement over Quake's, lol.

Well, textures must also be baked into the map.

Use Zoner's compiling tools and throw the -nowadtextures switch in HLCSG.exe when building. That'll bake the textures into the BSP file. No WAD file nessecary :D

Is lighting achieved the same way? Also, is there a FGD specifically design for your game to specify character starting points? Sorry for all the questions :P

Use the standard info_player_start that you would see in Half-Life.

And yeah, lighting and all that jazz is the same.

By the way, be careful about what you're making. This isn't a modern PC that the map is going to be running on, it's a handheld console.

I know :p I'm actually better at lower poly based levels anyways. Does your game support sprites yet? (again sorry for all the enquiries)

Forgot to mention that it doesn't support decals yet :(

Also, sprites as in billboard sprites ARE supported, just placed by a different method, which I can't be arsed to explain right now. Just ignore them for now.  :P

Ooh! If you're building the map from the ground up, program in support for spheremapped textures at some point ;) That was always my biggest peeve with HL's bsp engine, although if textures are baked I doubt it will be possible. Just a small request if you do add anything to the map compilation process :P I'm downloading all the tools again right now. I hope Hammer won't give me any trouble because I just realized I'm on an up to date ATI card and they used to always give me issues : [

The textures baked wouldn't make that impossible, I just don't know if the PSP's GU would support something like that. If it does, it's entirely possible, but I don't know how useful it would be in the end, lol.

I watched the pistol/achievement video and it really reminded me of Perfect Dark for the n64.

Looks great!

alright, so apparently the issue carried over to my new PC. Unless I can find a fix, I'm not going to be able to map :/

The bug with ATI cards and Hammer? Doesn't Hammer have a software rendering mode?

This guy seems to have forced Hammer into a software rendering mode by using a bit of a roundabout way: http://www.chatbear.com/unity2/12/929,1254837200,27666/1080486/0#4

that workaround isn't working for me. I'm trying to hunt down the one that adds an extra dll, but so far to no avail
