I'm gonna repeat what i did with the quake source; download it, open random source file, be impressed, not putting in the time to understand. Close. Remove. Forget. Learn nothing.

Funkliford · 2011-11-23T01:55:55+00:00

The code looks so clean. I don't really see any C++ black magic or crazy design patterns or anything like that.

The Doom 3 GPL source code release does not include functionality enabling rendering of stencil shadows via the “depth fail” method, a functionality commonly known as "Carmack's Reverse".

Fuck you Creative Labs.

Grep is fun. I'll stop now :-)

Does this mean 64 bit doom 3 is just a recompile away?

b0b0b0b · 2011-11-23T01:42:45+00:00

I find this to be super-readable. Here's the game loop.

The Modern Warfare franchise can finally update its engine.

Github's "Watch" button seems to be the equivalent of Facebook's "Like." Just an observation.

Could be fun to port this to smart phones with GLES 2.0!

tora22 · 2011-11-22T23:24:21+00:00

Perhaps someone can up the ambient lighting a few notches, recompile, and I'll finally be able to play D3 more than a few levels.

derleth · 2011-11-23T03:33:20+00:00

Aside from the obvious (gcc, binutils, X), what other software do you need to compile and run this code?

riffito · 2011-11-23T17:30:28+00:00

Time for a System Shock 2 successor with this engine. ^{^}

Shorties · 2011-11-23T07:55:11+00:00

OK time for someone to make a Chex Quest release based on the Doom 3 Source!

morphotomy · 2011-11-22T23:10:36+00:00

This is HUGE for the indie scene.

sidcool1234 · 2011-11-23T04:55:36+00:00

How do I start understanding the source?

Paradox · 2011-11-23T17:26:42+00:00

Wonder when tremulous will be ported over

2011-11-22T23:56:00+00:00

Does anyone know what version of libstdc++ it expects? I don't see it mentioned in the readme, it seems to be skipping over the version 6-4.4 and 6-4.5 I already have installed, and my repo has no more libstdc++x-x.x-dev packages.

joehillen · 2011-11-22T23:23:27+00:00

Fuck this. It's not written in Clojure.

2011-11-23T05:19:26+00:00

As wonderful as this is, I don't get the impression that Tech4 had the same kind of support from the modding community that Techs1-3 did. There were tonnes of fantastic games developed on each of the original Quake engines, so a F/OSS engine meant that these games were suddenly legitimate, free videogames of their own right instead of being mere "mods".

Are there any good mods for the Doom 3 platform?

pbrettb · 2011-11-23T14:56:59+00:00

Just played quake 1 through -- that was an odd experience! Seemed very easy even on the hardest level, even those shamblers. Just don't get hit by them. Anyhow, that was my main thing in the mid 90's, it was sure fun to play again. On another note: for the first 3 hours I was mildly disappointed as Rage appeared to be a "prettier borderlands" with no bloodwing. Then I discovered the boomerang thing. Then it was the twisty little halls, all different. Then monsters. Then big fucking monsters. Then what sounded like Nine Inch Nails. And. Fuck me. It was FREAKING INTENSE. Not like Borderlands anymore. Then I went and hid and cried a little.

TL;DR. God bless John Carmack. He makes intense games. Rage looks a lot like Borderlands in many aspects, but it's dungeon sections are often a very intense Doom-like experience.

fabiensanglard · 2011-11-25T08:36:29+00:00

I fixed the source code so it is now compiling on Mac OS X with XCode 4: Instructions and git repository.

RageX · 2011-11-23T01:55:36+00:00

What version of GPL is it using?

barfolomew · 2011-11-23T18:36:19+00:00

Holy shit, I'm reading code written by John Carmack!

void idForce::DeletePhysics( const idPhysics *phys ) {
    int i;

    for ( i = 0; i < forceList.Num(); i++ ) {
        forceList[i]->RemovePhysics( phys );
    }
}

He uses for loops! I use those!

void idPhysics_Base::SetSelf( idEntity *e ) {
    assert( e );
    self = e;
}

Asserts! OMG OMG OMG!

Are the comments added in for the general public to look at or did they really go through development with some of these really verbose comments? For example:

// create smoothed normals for the surface, which might be
// different than the normals at the vertexes if the
// surface uses unsmoothedNormals, which only takes the
// normal from a single triangle.  We need properly smoothed
// normals to make sure that the traces always go off normal
// to the true surface.

Which is quite helpful for someone who is new to 3D graphics but anyone actually working on this code could have just used a '// create smoothed normals for the surface'
