Gish uses targa.tga textures, not jpeg.jpg.
Everything in my example is just vertices and keywords declaring them and a few other things (like shading). You have probably noticed x y z x y. The first x y z are the coordinates in 3D space, and the second x y the coordinates of a place on the texture. Everything is in triangles, but the format of my example also accepts other shapes. It does that like this:

The quad_strip here is the one in my example, but unfolded to 2D.
Of course it is possible to use a graphical editor, and the format I described doesn't need to be used. Btw, the BCS object format (I thought it was the format of some 3D program, ask Josiah) is binary, not really readable by human.http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':

I think these are the layers:
About custom objects: I know about something that allows you to create your own objects (only graphical), with this syntax (you can use whitespace in numerous ways, but this is the cleanest without without a fixed width font and assumed tab size):
If you know vertices you can probably decode this.http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
| Fixed background texture: | the texture you see when you can look through all layers in front of it. |
|---|---|
| Background layer: | The tile-based background. |
| Static interactive layer: | Fixed tiles you can't go through. Used at the edges of 'walled' areas. These are lit. |
| Interactive layer: | Gish, enemies, vehicles, moving platforms, etc. Simply where everything happens. Also lit. |
| Front layer: | Stuff in front of you. Used for decoration (like tubes at the Sewer), to fill 'walled' areas, for some tunnels and to hide secrets. |

First wait for the editor to experience it. It may not be as worse as you think.

Thanks, Alex. But I'm still curious about the 32-bit encryption (it seems) used on the rasters (why, and what?). This is the raw data of sewer7:

I know, I'm too lazy to invert the Y-axis.http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Maybe I'll upload a new set of PNGs in which I do.
Edit: Should have looked at http://www.pontifex2.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=27;t=45" target="_blank">Chicken1's source. After a minor endian-tweak it worked (doing this on my PowerBook. I know the PPC can work with little endian in some way, but I don't want to figure that out right now).
Do you know something better?
Edit again: Now I know why it isn't going to be very user-friendly.http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
Btw, the (almost un)breakable blocks of the second secret of sewer1 aren't tiles (for the ones who don't know: it's needed because they have special physical properties - very strong).

There are load/store instructions like lwbrx (load word byte-reverse indexed) and sthbrx (store half word ...) which reverse byte order while moving registers <-> main RAM, so you won't get any slowdown. But there is a catch: they don't work on the G5, and it is only possible in the assembler (or asm. Gcc's puts r0 everywhere?).

I'm a little closer - in the Netherlands, but almost 700 km (±430 miles) is still too far. I have never been there in my flight sim (also not in reality), so I think I'll fly to Leipzig.

It's probably AM/PM, which is not displayed.

General Discussion / Gish on Sony PSP?
September 28, 2004, 02:12:32 AM
Are those consoles actually powerful enough to handle the physics?
And what's playing Gish on a fuzzy lowres flickering nearly 16 KHz tone emitting totally not color-correct (it might be almost completely black, or actually relatively bright gray!) television compared to playing it on a highres TFT?

... and the CPU of that one (Emotion Engine) is a number cruncher for the required calculations. ...
Now you're talking about tuning for specific hardware... the G4 (in Macs) has a VERY powerful vector execution unit, but they don't use it.
