Spiderbot alpha testrelease

[tZork]

Since the response has been so high on this, i decided to make a quick test release before i go away for the weekend.

you need Nexuiz-svn or 2.5.2. may or may not work with older ones.
then get this file and put in nexuiz/data:

http://zdev.dvrdns.org/tmp/spiderbot.pk3
edit: you need http://zdev.dvrdns.org/tmp/spider-config.pk3 too.

extract the progs.* and cdprogs.* form it and place in the nexuiz/data folder.

launch nexuiz, type "exec vehicle_spiderbot.cfg" in the console then do a "map test16" or a "map opentest"

just run into a unoccupied spider to start driving it. bind a key to +use to exit it.

have fun =)

While watching the video for this, I think I peed in my pants a little.

cvar_check_default bypass

(but expect some minor stuff to go wrong then, e.g. item respawns)

Trying to test it but I'm getting a bug: When I attempt to enter a spider by walking into it, I am thrown out the next frame unless I get behind the vehicle and keep walking forward constantly (which just keeps me there but I see myself sitting inside).

[EDIT] Sorry, this is because the key bind setting +use makes the +use command act permanently. This can be avoided by setting +used for "when pressed" and -used for "when released".

Apart from that I seen the video and it's just too awesome Can't believe I'm seeing the first vehicle for Nexuiz... great job. This is probably the most major change that comes to Nexuiz for a long time.

Very impressive work!Compliments!This opens a new way of possibilities in Nexuiz!I've tested test16 and opentest and they are both very playable! I've noticed a .dpm model file scanned during the loading. What's the difference between .dpm and .zym model file?

Thanks for sharing this important contribute!
