Does the cube engine support Z axis rotation (roll)?

So when reading through the source code (mostly in relation to the render model function), I noticed that there is a yaw and pitch for player/map models but there is no roll value (z axis rotation - or y axis depending on what coordinate system you follow).

I dug deeper into the code looking through the batch model code and still didn't find any roll values. Does cubes current model system even allow for this rotation. And if not is there an easy way to go about adding it in (other than making 2 different instances of the model on differing axises)?

The only "roll" I can think of is maxroll, which influences how much you turn sideways when yous strafe. Maybe a grep for it gives you what you need?

lolz thats camera roll :p Most engines allow 3 axis rotation 0.0 just odd that its not there, Any Were :?

As mdlpitch (x-axis) and mdlyaw (y-axis) are the only commands which apply to the general loading of the model, there is no such option to specify over the z-axis. However, you could specify the x- and y-axis on such way that you are at the same specific point if you would have a z-axis option, but it's a tough job.
However, the animpart and bones-related commands do have a z-axis function.

Neither has the boundingbox a z-axis...

ok well thanx for the help Ya i planing on adding in a real physics engine (probably bullet) but this would mean i would have to fix this first so that the physics can work correctly :)

thanx

Tesseract allows full 3D rotation of mapmodels. Maybe start there.

i know :p

but is it in the github version .. because if not will have to integrate my current code into the new tesseract svn code :0

what part of "git died off" do you not get? :p

of course you will have to move to svn you dum dum.

hehe just trying to save work ... i dont need the other tesseract modifications (honestly i dont know what they are) but i doubt they are going in the same direction i am going.

Either way i was just wondering when it was added, and if it was in the github version .. cuz if it is already in there then it would mean about 5 or 6 (or more) hours of not having to integrate into the newer versions.

There's nothing dumb about trying to save time :)
