Testing a new loader by Spoike.

City Reacts To TimeCycle

Nuclide Development Videos — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 22:07:50 GMT

Showing off how mecklenburgv_final can handle its own timecycle. Ignore the HUD. Working on an RP template.

The entity data used (all that's needed in combination with a III/VC timecyc.dat):

{ "origin" "-660.286 855.554 -162.47" "classname" "timecycle" "OnSpawn" "!self,load_dat,timecyc_iii.dat,0.0,-1" "OnSpawn" "toggle_outdoor_lights,trigger,,0.0,-1" "OnHour7" "toggle_outdoor_lights,trigger,,0.0,-1" "OnHour8" "toggle_indoor_lights,trigger,,0.0,-1" "OnHour18" "toggle_indoor_lights,trigger,,0.0,-1" "OnHour21" "toggle_outdoor_lights,trigger,,0.0,-1" "cycle" "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 1 0 0 0 1 3 3 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 0 0 0 2 1" }

Grass Clutter Demo

Showing off how in Nuclide I render our grass currently. I stipple them out which works ok. Almost happy with it.

Map Q3TA UI Interactivity

Nuclide Development Videos — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 05:46:41 GMT

Often, clent-side interfaces like this only affect client-side things - but in this example I show a vending machine that'll output a different object of soda on the server. Basically showing that yes, our non-hardcoded interfaces are able to affect server state quite easily. Can this be used for hacking? No, the interface is tied to an entity, and can only fire outputs that the entity wants to have set-up.

Security Cameras

Nuclide Development Videos — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 05:43:32 GMT

There's cameras, which can be used for all sorts of fun purposes - and then there's security cameras. They basically combine the logic of a turret and a camera. People can use them in any level they like and they don't really require much set-up. Their output can even be copied and replicated across multiple screens. You can have as many cameras as your GPU will allow.

Model Vehicles on HL BSP Collision Tests

Nuclide Development Videos — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 05:37:01 GMT

There's been all sorts of improvements in how vehicles feel/drive around old maps from the Quake 1/Half-Life 1 era. Here's a port of Mafia's vehicles running in Nuclide. Those maps won't ship with any version of Nuclide. The map is caronlicity by ovi. No physics simulator is needed to run these. The physics for vehicles have, since The Wastes release in 2018, been handled by ourselves in QuakeC. They have been receiving improvements ever since.

Time Cycle & Weather

Nuclide Development Videos — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 22:22:16 GMT

I wrote a GTA 3/Vice City timecyc.dat parser, because there's a bunch of decent editors for those.
Now you can tack a weather/timecycle system (with fog too) into your Quake levels.

info_waypoint implementation

Nuclide Development Videos — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 08:35:42 GMT

An entity used in select Source Engine games.

Rain Effects

Nuclide Development Videos — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 22:36:12 GMT

In Nuclide, we support the Spirit of Half-Life rain entity (as well as the Source engine one). This is what it looks like in Overturn when using the Spirit of Half-Life one and the Rad-Therapy particle config. Mods can easily override the look with the particle scripting system in FTEQW.

Advanced Media Objects

Nuclide Development Videos — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 22:21:00 GMT

These client-side authored objects in Nuclide can be connected to one another, and data can be passed around them in a networked environment. The object itself declares what it can understand. Multiple technologies work together here, from Nuclide's client-side authored object initialization pipeline, to the entityDef decl system, to the Team Arena menu scripting stuff - it all works together in harmomy for one end result: So you can slap websites, videos and other game stuff onto screens of objects the server did not know could exist.

FTEQW - GLB World

Nuclide Development Videos — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 22:24:00 GMT

If you don't like Radiant, you might as well just scan your neighborhood and make a game based around that! But seriously, a lot of people don't know that FTEQW can in fact load GLTF and GLB models. So a lot of assets that are already authored, already out there, just load fine. Look!

Moving Screens

Nuclide Development Videos — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 22:25:00 GMT

To show there's no foul play going on with all the multimedia stuff, here's some lit screens. No pun intended!

Early TA Menu Test (11/2025)

Nuclide Development Videos — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 22:28:00 GMT

Loading the scripted Return to Castle Wolfenstein menu files into Nuclide. Yes, the main menu in those games is not compiled into the engine or a ui library.

Portals

Nuclide Development Videos — Fri, 19 May 2023 15:18:00 GMT

These are portals working in Nuclide. I also have to support them in the game-code pmove as we run our own physics logic for it.

Team Fortress Classic/Team-Effort - Demonstration

Nuclide Development Videos — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 18:37:00 GMT

Demonstration of what Team Fortress Classic looks and feels like when playing under Nuclide by using the Team-Effort package.

Beams in the Reaction Chamber

Nuclide Development Videos — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 08:40:00 GMT

Pretty much final look for our env_beam entity implementation. The resonance cascade appears to render correct. Ignore the chrome, that has long been fixed.

Ring Pattern Beam

Nuclide Development Videos — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 08:34:00 GMT

First recording of our ever first env_beam implementation.
