Title: Splitscreen Post by: singpolyma on January 14, 2009, 06:36:55 PM Is split-screen multiplayer planned? Does anyone know of a FLOSS FPS that has split screen?

Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Neon_Knight on January 14, 2009, 08:53:08 PM Something like Serious Sam has.
Multi-profiles support, and the hability to play both players on the same PC. Sad is the fact that only one can handle the mouse, while the other can't handle anything but keyboard. (Or joystick if -s-he has :P) Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: fromhell on January 14, 2009, 10:55:48 PM i'd really love split screen multiplayer, it was done on the Xbox community Q3 port, though that's a bunch of proprietary trickery there methinks.

needed for true splitscreen support. Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: 0kelvin on March 25, 2009, 07:45:14 PM openarena
Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Snickersnack on March 25, 2009, 08:12:11 PM What would splitscreen offer over two windowed clients on the same monitor? Speed? ???

A quick way to setup the gameA better way to handle controls It is also the two points that would some of the biggest problem. Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Case on March 25, 2009, 08:33:56 PM On a split screen you would only use 1 sound source, I've seen a bunch of sdl games and the added benefits of doing so would be to put on the frontpage
Feature - Split Screen its just cool. and if someone is running linux on the ps3, xbox, or some other console they could play OA on it with other people, it would be very cool. Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Case on March 25, 2009, 11:15:05 PM to do this should I be looking in tr_main.c ?
Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: andrewj on March 26, 2009, 03:00:32 AM to do this should I be looking in tr_main.c ? Too low level. Look in the cgame code (cg_view, cg_draw etc).Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Case on March 26, 2009, 03:18:05 AM ty ty :)
Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Al on March 27, 2009, 05:57:19 AM What about handling two keyboards and two mice?

Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Snickersnack on March 27, 2009, 06:50:51 AM What about handling two keyboards and two mice? USB and a proprietary driver, because I don't think Windows / Linux / MAC has native support for that. Multi-pointer X? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPX Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Case on March 27, 2009, 07:10:15 AM Multi-pointer X? +1 insightfulhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPX Title: Re: Splitscreen Post by: Al on March 27, 2009, 07:47:15 AM What about handling two keyboards and two mice?

Speed? If I can remember OpenGL has to kinds of modes when it comes to rendering on the screen. Direct Rendering(Fastest) & In-Direct(Slow) Rendering. Only one program on the system can use the Direct Rendering. Everything else will use In-Direct Rendering. |
