an idea (prey)

[eightysix]

my mapping knowledge is little to none, to say the least, but it wasn't hard to appreciate the game Prey and its multiplayer. The idea of being able to walk on floors that become walls and ceilings as you navigate through the map, having really no defenition of up or down as you shoot fellow players is a simply cool idea. Is this something do-able or see-able in nexuiz? I know nex uses radiant, and so does doom3, and prey runs off the doom3 engine. I dont know exactly what they do to pull off the effect but im sure it would be lovely to see the nexuiz spin on it.
Heres some vids of Prey if anyone hasn't seen it. http://media.pc.ign.com/media/008/008926/vids_1.html (bottom right gets to the point)

Try not to be put off by the first post, im an avid player and had a forum account several months and 2 deactivated emails down the road.

Welcome to the community!

Afaik this is not possible But don'T worry, it's not you the first, who thinks about this

[eightysix]

aaah, i had a feeling,

and thanks

realy? i mean there is the mod natural selection for half life that does this and the mod tremolous for quake 3 that does this, and both engines are from the same family than nexuiz.. but well, im not a engine guru, so, no idea

Possible sure, how hard.. now tahts the question

[Qantourisc]

would require adjustments in the cl_player or was it cl_physics ? and it should be possible ...

[esteel]

Its already possible to get differently strong gravitiy in different areas or better different enities (like players) can have different gravity applied to them. But that can be used to get different gravitiy in different areas . The direction of the pull is simply 'down' right now. It should however be possible to change this..

Sounds cool to me, but i know next to nothing about how it could be done.

Random idea: If you jump and hit a surface, 90 degrees to that surface automatically becomes your "Down". Is that (or a simillar idea) what Prey does?

[esteel]

Prey has special areas that can be used to go up a wall. Sometimes portals are used. If you jump the ´normal´ gravitiy kicks in again. Same thing if you walk over the edge of a wall or ceiling.
