Quake1 engine, Unreal97 / UT99 map loading (help needed) (opensource) (C engine,but C++ unr exists)

chaosesqueteam

Model_brush.c is the main file where new map and model formats are parsed: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/code-t3d_attempt_engine/ci/master/tree/model_brush.c

An example one is void Mod_OBJ_Load on line 7562. Which loads the triangle data for an obj file (loads the vertex and then the face data).
It would be nice to load the .unr map type too. These usually contain much less triangle data than any object file: but they are and were high quality maps and were fun.

Then a line is added in Model_shared.c to let the engine know that format is now parsable and what subroutine to use: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/code-t3d_attempt_engine/ci/master/tree/model_shared.c
An example of this is in Mod_LoadModel, the on line 575 if (!strcasecmp(FS_FileExtension(mod->name), "obj")) Mod_OBJ_Load(mod, buf, bufend); . Which tells the engine if the file extension is .obj to execute Mod_OBJ_Load.

There are also .h files for both to add the headers of any new subroutine or global variable used.

There is C++ code to load .unr files here: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/2/attachment/UShock_source.tar.bz2
But our engine is C. The C++ code is opensource.

Please help.
This engine can already load PSK files from later unreal formats, and this opensource game has already implemented weapon models and weapon game code similar to many of the unreal and unreal tournament weapons. All opensource (code and media). If .unr model/map loading could be added then all those maps could be enjoyed in a project all opensource programmers could use.

TLDR: We programmed other map formats into this Quake1 engine (ex: wolfenstine enemy territory), and we also modeled and programmed weapons similar to the old Unreal and UT weapons. We have found C++ code (opensource) that parses unreal (1997)/unreal torunament maps. Our engine is in C. We would like more contributors to add old unreal and unreal tournament maps as one of the things that can be loaded.

Various weapons somewhat similar to the old unreal weapons have already been modeled and programmed into this game. They are all opensource, everything is opensource. The models were build in blender3d and are given out GPL etc. The game code is in QC, the engine code is in C. (And: No we will never remove the work we did with our own hands no matter what anyone threatens us with.

This opensource project already has over 200 weapons; so there is value in adding more map formats that it can load. When we programmed in wolfenstine:enemyterritory support into the engine; and then supporting code in the game code; that opened up 600 maps to this project. The same would be nice for unreal 97/ unreal tournament 99 maps. Some of which we used to build: ( https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/discussion/general/thread/72c4ff80c1/8d68/attachment/t3dexamplefilesmore.zip )

(old unreal 97 / unreal tournament 99 maps I built)

Here are some screen shots to show that, yes, wolfenstine enemy territory maps are being run on this quake 1 engine: that I did, indeed do the work. And that this project is not a derelict: it implements new map formats, and new features. And if you helped with unreal 97/UT99 map loading (for which C++ opensource code allready exists, but this engine is in C), it wouldn't go to waste.

TLDR: Please help our opensource project load .unr maps from Unreal 1 and UT 1 . https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/2/

There is allready C++ code (https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/2/attachment/UShock_source.tar.bz2) that does it, but our engine is in C: and we only need to load in the triangle and face data etc, rendering is allready done by the engine. Please help.
