+\layout Title + +TREMULOUS 1.0.2 +\layout Standard + + +\begin_inset LatexCommand \tableofcontents{} + +\end_inset + + +\layout Section + +Introduction +\layout Standard + +Tremulous is a first person shooter featuring two opposing teams, humans + and aliens. + Both teams are able to build structures such as spawn points, which are + vital to their victory. + The goal of Tremulous is to eliminate the opposing team and all of their + spawn points. +\layout Standard + +Each team in Tremulous differs fundamentally from the other. + The aliens are class based, with two classes initially available: the alien + team's builder, known as the Granger, and the Dretch, the weakest offensive + alien. + The aliens are awarded frags for killing their foes which may be used to + evolve into stronger classes, capable of greater and more varied maneuvers. + In contrast the human team is upgrade based, receiving credits for kills + that may be exchanged at an Armoury structure for new weapons, armour and + equipment. + Two such upgrades are available for free: a rifle and a construction kit, + used for building structures. +\layout Standard + +During a game of Tremulous, each team occupies one of three stages of developmen +t. + These stages are reached by accruing more than a specific total number + of kills by the whole team. + Each new stage unlocks new classes, upgrades and buildable structures. + If one team reaches a stage significantly earlier than the other team it + stands a better chance of defeating the opposing team. +\layout Standard + +Section +\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:Game} + +\end_inset + + details the content of the game including the various controls that are + used to play. + Section +\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:Technical} + +\end_inset + + describes some technical aspects of how Tremulous works. + It is not necessary to read this section in order to play the game. +\layout Section + + +\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:Game} + +\end_inset + +Game +\layout Subsection + +Aliens +\layout Standard + +Two classes are available upon joining the alien team: the Dretch and the + Granger. + As you gain kills, you may use your earned frags to evolve into higher + classes with the +\noun on +Use Structure/Evolve +\noun default + button. + The alien team is mostly limited to melee attacks and must use stealth + and speed to defeat the longer range humans. + All aliens automatically regenerate health at a slow rate. +\layout Subsubsection + +Classes +\layout Standard +\align center + +\begin_inset Tabular

system + description files. + Each .particle file can contain an arbitrary number of discrete particle + systems, much like a .shader file can house many shaders. + A particle system is declared by a name followed by curly braces within + which the functionality of the particle system is defined. + For example: +\layout LyX-Code + +aShinyNewParticleSystem { } +\layout Standard + +Inside the particle system declaration are placed up to four particle ejectors. + Ejectors are identified by the keyword ejector and curly braces: +\layout LyX-Code + +aShinyNewParticleSystem +\layout LyX-Code + +{ +\layout LyX-Code + + ejector { } +\layout LyX-Code + + ejector { } +\layout LyX-Code + +} +\layout Standard + +The role of the particle ejector is to create some number of new particles + at a defined rate. + These attributes are controlled by the following parameters: +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +count <number>|infinite +\emph default + - the number of particles this ejector will spawn. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +delay <msec> +\emph default + - the delay in msec before the ejector starts spawning. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +period <initial> <final> <variance> +\emph default + - the period between particle ejections. +\layout Standard + +It is perfectly acceptable to have an initial period of zero. + In this case the number of particles specified by the count keyword will + be ejected at once. + It is not permissible to have count infinite and a period of zero for obvious + reasons. +\layout Standard + +At ejection time each ejector creates up to four new particles based on + templates. + These are specified in the ejector section using the particle keyword: +\layout LyX-Code + +aShinyNewParticleSystem +\layout LyX-Code + +{ +\layout LyX-Code + + ejector +\layout LyX-Code + + { +\layout LyX-Code + + particle { } +\layout LyX-Code + + particle { } +\layout LyX-Code + + count 50 +\layout LyX-Code + + delay 0 +\layout LyX-Code + + period 0 - 0 +\layout LyX-Code + + } +\layout LyX-Code + +} +\layout Standard + +Each particle template has a number of attributes: +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +shader <fps>|sync <shader1> <shader2> ... + <shaderN> +\emph default + - this specifies the shaders to use for the particle. + The frame rate can be set to a static rate or the +\emph on +sync +\emph default + parameter can be used in which case the frame rate will be synchronised + to the lifetime of the particle such that the first frame is displayed + on birth and the last frame is displayed immediately before death. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +displacement <x> <y> <z> <variance> +\emph default + - a static displacement about the attachment point. + The +\emph on +variance +\emph default + parameter specifies a random displacement in all axes. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +normalDisplacement <displacement> +\emph default + - for particle systems that have their normal set (impact particle systems + for example) this specifies the magnitude of a displacement along the normal. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +velocityType static|tag|cent|normal +\emph default + - this specifies how the particle will compute its initial velocity. + +\emph on +static +\emph default + means it is specified statically in the .particle file, +\emph on +tag +\emph default + means the velocity is in the direction of the tag it is attached to, +\emph on +cent +\emph default + means the velocity is in the direction of the cent it is attached to and + +\emph on +normal +\emph default + means the velocity is in the direction of the particle system normal. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +velocityDir linear|point +\emph default + - this specifies whether the initial velocity is computed as a simple direction + or as the direction

+ here is specified in degrees e.g. + "~5" - up to 5 degrees deviation. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +velocityMagnitude <magnitude> +\emph default + - the magnitude of the velocity. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +velocityPoint <x> <y> <z> <variance> +\emph default + - for when +\emph on +velocityType static +\emph default + and +\emph on +velocityDir point +\emph default + are present this

+\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +acceleration <x> <y> <z> <variance> +\emph default + - for when +\emph on +accelerationType +\emph default + static is present this specifies the direction. + The +\emph on +variance +\emph default + here is specified in degrees e.g. + "~5" - up to 5 degrees deviation. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +accelerationMagnitude <magnitude> +\emph default + - the magnitude of the acceleration. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +accelerationPoint <x> <y> <z> <variance> +\emph default + - for when +\emph on +accelerationType static +\emph default + and +\emph on +accelerationDir point +\emph default + are present this specifies the point to move towards. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +bounce <fraction>|cull +\emph default + - the fraction of velocity that is reflected when a particle collides. + If this is set to 0.0 the particle won't collide. + When +\emph on +cull +\emph default + is used particles are culled as soon as they collide with objects. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +overdrawProtection +\emph default + - cull particles that occupy a large amount of screen space. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +realLight +\emph default + - light particles using the lightgrid instead of fullbright. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +cullOnStartSolid +\emph default + - cull particles that are spawned inside brushes. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +radius <delay> <initial> <final> +\emph default + - the radius of the particle throughout its lifetime. + The +\emph on +delay +\emph default + parameter specifies the time in msec before radius scaling begins. + The +\emph on +initial +\emph default + and +\emph on +final +\emph default + parameters specify the radii of the particle in quake units. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +alpha <delay> <initial> <final> +\emph default + - the alpha of the particle throughout its lifetime. + The +\emph on +delay +\emph default + parameter specifies the time in msec before alpha scaling begins. + The +\emph on +initial +\emph default + and +\emph on +final +\emph default + parameters specify the alpha of the particle where 1.0 is totally opaque + and 0.0 is totally transparent. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +rotation <delay> <initial> <final> +\emph default + - the rotation of the particle throughout its lifetime. + The +\emph on +delay +\emph default + parameter specifies the time in msec before the rotation begins. + The +\emph on +initial +\emph default + and +\emph on +final +\emph default + parameters specify the rotation of the particle in degrees. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +lifeTime <time> +\emph default + - the lifetime of the particle. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +childSystem <particle system> +\emph default + - specifies a particle system to attach to this particle. +\layout Itemize + + +\emph on +onDeathSystem <particle system> +\emph default + - specifies a particle system to spawn at the point where this particle + died. +\layout Standard + +Except for vector components, +\emph on +shader fps ... + +\emph default + and +\emph on +period <initial <final> <variance> +\emph default +, every value can be specified with a random variance. + The syntax for this is as follows: +\layout LyX-Code + +[value][~variance[%]] +\layout Standard + +So the following forms are possible, where random is a random number between + 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive: +\layout LyX-Code + +5.0 // 5.0 +\layout LyX-Code + +5.0~8.0 // 5.0 + ( random * 8.0 ) +\layout LyX-Code + +5.0~200% // 5.0 + ( random * 5.0 * 200% ) +\layout LyX-Code + +~7.0 // random * 7.0 +\layout Standard + +This allows for relatively flexible randomisation of most of the particle's + parameters. + For parameters taking an initial and final value, specifying the final + value as '-' will result in a final value the same as the initial value. +\layout Standard + +For the purposes of map based particle systems using +\emph on +misc_particle_system +\emph default + it is safe to ignore +\emph on +velocityType +\emph default + and +\emph on +accelerationType tag|cent|normal +\emph default +, +\emph on +normalDisplacement +\emph default + and +\emph on +parentVelocityFraction +\emph default + altogether. +\layout Standard + +Of course, it is not necessary to specify every parameter documented here + for every particle system. + If a parameter is not included it will usually default to zero. + C/C++ style comments can be used throughout. + There are an enormous number of possible combinations of particle systems + parameters and as such it is impractical to test them all. + For this reason it is possible that certain permutations do not behave + as expected or wrongly. + In this case you may have discovered a bug - let us know. + Having said this when you're having problems with a particle system make + sure you scroll up the console and check that it compiled OK, I've written + the parser to be very intolerant of error. +\layout Standard + +Here is an
