Writing networking code sucks, but the game server and lobby system is fully functional (or at least as much as it needs to be at this stage) #gamedev

And in a dark area. Pretty happy with the results!

Had an idea how to make a shader that mimics the original Doom's partial invisibility fuzz effect. Here it is in a bright area

Triangulating concave sectors. This is a huge success. Almost ready for total geometry generation, just need to fix "sectors with holes"

Making progress parsing Doom WAD format maps. Walls was easy. Sectors... not so much. Enjoy this debug visualization of E1M1

Buried some of the updates in another reply thread under here, sorry still trying to figure out bsky. Improved texture and light UV mapping
Also got a few basic Quake family entities working, just enough to lay the groundwork for how importing point and brush entities will work

Fixed the texture and lightmap issues. Not exactly something easy to show off in screenshots, but trust me - there was weird issues and they're fixed now
Guess I have to work on gameplay stuff soon

Working on debugging texture and lightmap issues, some of the mappings seem to be off for some reason

Original screenshot in Q2, compared to running the map in Unity (in full color and "software mode" without colored lights). Light mapping needs work and I know how I want to improve it, but very satisfied with the results at this stage

We have lightmaps. I even included a "software rendering mode" which strips out the color data leaving only the brightness. Now I need to write a shader to combine the texture and the lightmap data

The UV problem was a mistake I made, I was accounting for the coordinate system change (BSP is Z-up, Unity is Y-up) twice on accident for UVs. A few other minor fixes and textures are now unwrapped correctly
Next is lightmaps and visleaves, not looking forward to either one

UVs are definitely scuffed. Wrote something to convert Quake II's WAL texture format to PNGs, so I can load them as Unity materials
Looks like the UVs are too big and randomly misaligned, rotated, or offset improperly
Stopping for today and will reconsider the UV code

Working on the texture UV maps, which I assumed would be easy because it stores that data directly, but some faces have distorted UVs for some reason. Probably my fault
Also added a debug display for point entities to make sure they were created right (they weren't, fixed now)
