Game engine running Really sluggish. You should try to freeze your simulation so that the render loop still refreshes but the code doesnt update the particle simulation to see if your bottleneck is CPU or GPU.

can bsp be used for map file formats ? map files are ascii files used by quake level editors to hold the geometry created by the user. the map file is then compiled into a binary .bsp file which is used by the game as world data.

File Compression in Madden NFL 06 PC Can you try to hook the d3d function D3DXCreateTextureFromFileExW() or one of the equivalents to find out what format is being loaded?

File Compression in Madden NFL 06 PC I dont know anything about hacking..but could you try modifying the header file in one of the images and running Madden.. *hopefully* if it crashes when trying to read the file you can debug from there

Normal Mapped Quake 3 Quote:Original post by SirKnight Looks pretty cool. Now why don't you take the Quake 3 engine source that was just released and add bumpmapping to it so you can play a game like that. ;) I did this same thing a few years ago, although mine had so...
