This code outlines the models with a THIN black line, like a cartoon effect.

/*
R_DrawAliasOutlineFrame
*/

void R_DrawAliasOutlineFrame (aliashdr_t *paliashdr, int pose1, int pose2, qbool mtex, qbool scrolldir)
{
int *order, count;
vec3_t interpolated_verts;
float lerpfrac;
trivertx_t *verts1, *verts2;

if (r_modelalpha < 1)
return;

glCullFace (GL_BACK);
glPolygonMode (GL_FRONT, GL_LINE);

glLineWidth (1.0f);

glColor4f (0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,1);
glEnable (GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glDisable (GL_TEXTURE_2D);

lerpfrac = r_framelerp;
lastposenum = (lerpfrac >= 0.5) ? pose2 : pose1;

verts2 = verts1 = (trivertx_t *) ((byte *) paliashdr + paliashdr->posedata);

verts1 += pose1 * paliashdr->poseverts;
verts2 += pose2 * paliashdr->poseverts;

order = (int *) ((byte *) paliashdr + paliashdr->commands);

for ( ;; )
{
count = *order++;

if (!count)
break;

if (count < 0)
{
count = -count;
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN);
}
else
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP);

do
{
order += 2;

if ((currententity->renderfx & RF_LIMITLERP))
lerpfrac = VectorL2Compare(verts1->v, verts2->v, r_lerpdistance) ? r_framelerp : 1;

VectorInterpolate(verts1->v, lerpfrac, verts2->v, interpolated_verts);
glVertex3fv(interpolated_verts);

verts1++;
verts2++;
}
while (--count);

glEnd();
}

glColor4f (1, 1, 1, 1);
glPolygonMode (GL_FRONT, GL_FILL);
glDisable (GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glCullFace (GL_FRONT);
glEnable (GL_TEXTURE_2D);
}

called in R_SetupAliasFrame,

...
GL_DrawAliasFrame (paliashdr, oldpose, pose, mtex, scrolldir);

if (r_outline.integer)
R_DrawAliasOutlineFrame(paliashdr, oldpose, pose, mtex, scrolldir);
}

Sounds interesting! But I would need a more explained walkthrough than this to even try it.

It depends on globals etc, so what engine is it made for?

That above code plugs into ezQuake. The outlines are black, though like in Warsow, can be colored the team color. There's nothing fancy about the code, other than just redrawing the model as a wireframe and culling the areas already drawn, so all you end up seeing is just the outer edges. And on machines of today, this doesnt really lose many fps.

heres what it looks like

Btw, what happened to the cell-shading someone was doing for ezQuake?

Lol I started thinking, what is "EDGES"? Then I looked at your pic again and saw u drew over the edges of the map.
Ya this is also do-able...just ran through the surface routine instead of alias models.

I can post cel shading code later, it wont use GLSL like someone once posted pics of but runs fast enough if your card was made since 2005.

this is a pretty good idea, but if you choose to add black edges to map i think it's better to have 2 variables: one for entity (player models, items) outlines, one for map outlines
god damn hippies >_<

looking forward for this! with some "flat" textures, the visuals would change alot!
never argue with an idiot. they'll bring you back to their level and then beat you with experience.

I think this is mainly a NQ thing, they are OK with outlines but don't like skins. Go figure.

NQ players are a little more "touchy " about things like this, which is why in NQ I use team colored outlines that are affected by world lighting, meaning in dark areas (dm2 corner) the outlines dont glow in the dark! But black doesnt have this condition and is faster to render.
For dual cvar, it wouldnt be needed, just r_outline 1 = players/items only r_outline 2 = all including world. r_outline 3 could be just world outlines solely.

WTFFFF!!! VERY NICE!!!!! using with proper(or NO) textures would improve AIM a lot!

I downloaded the source-code of ezquake, but which .c do I insert this, and where?

share some "howto", please!!!

NICE, got it: r_outline, with the Nighlty Build version!
at small distances it's very nice, but to be nice with far distances I had to set: r_outline_width 1 (instead of 2)

now the most amazing would be this working with the whole MAP!!!

Looks really nice :>

An observation that... probably needs fixing, though?

Using Carmack's trick to not clear the zbuffer (gl_ztrick), you can actually see the outlines of armors/players through walls at short distances (like around corners) if your cl_maxfps is a high enough value. It'll flicker enough to be noticeable.

Tested in Linux, but it should be the exact same for other platforms. Why not ditch gl_ztrick altogether in the ezquake code? It's kind of pointless on modern video cards. :p

With fullbright skins in QW i really dont think outlines would be much of a benefit.
The fullbright colors out-wash the outlines.... plus fb_skins render faster than outlines....
The screenshots u see in this post do not use fullbright skins.

I guess its just a matter of preference but, after almost a year later in retrospect this feature is kinda useless
