- Reisen 8y agoThis is amazing. I can't believe how stunning some of these level's look on what seems to be very little processing. If the "Statistic's" panel is right for example, the entire Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time 3D is being rendered in just 29 draw calls and 8104 triangles and honestly it looks better than half the games that come out today. I feel like level design isn't quite as clever as it used to be.
- Jasper_ 8y agoI mean, I'm cheating a bit. These levels don't have any of the actors or interactive elements per-room. The lighting and animations are probably the biggest thing that contributes to the "stunning" quality -- try turning off vertex colors in the Render Hacks panel.
- CM30 8y agoOh hey, I've seen this site. It's a pretty neat tool, and I'm especially happy to see Switch games like Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild already present here. The fact it all runs in a web browser is incredible. Still, is there any background behind this project? Curious to know what inspired Jasper_ to create it...
- Jasper_ 8y agoIt started a long time ago as a port of an old tool called bmdview2 to the web called "bmdview.js" as a way of learning WebGL and graphics. A bit later, I wanted to see levels from Ocarina of Time, so I created a tool called "zelview.js". Both of these original tools are still online, but they might have bitrotten by now. I created more and more tools like this until I decided to combine all of them, and noclip.website is the result. It combines my love of video games, reverse engineering, high-performance graphics applicationss, and pushing the boundaries of the web. Other people seem to enjoy it too, which is always a huge motivation booster.
- d3sandoval 8y agoI just replayed ocarina of Time and I'm pretty sure the Forest Temple map is mixed up with what looks like the Spirit Temple. Great work! Very cool to see these games come to life on my phone!
- tpei 8y agoThis is glorious, I love it
- Hackbraten 8y agoThat nostalgia!
- TokyoKid 8y agoLooks like it's broken. I get this error in the log: TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'i.getInternalformatParameter(i.RENDERBUFFER,i.DEPTH_COMPONENT24,i.SAMPLES).length')
- wbxrs 8y agoThis is SO COOL. But I was expecting it to have maps from HL too! I am not saying that HL invented "noclip", but it's certainly my first experience with that concept, even though I played many other games before that used that name for that concept, and games that implemented the same concept before that name was coined (like "idclip" in the old Doom)
- Jasper_ 8y agoI'll add Half-Life maps to the "to-research" pile, though it can take weeks to research and implement new games, so I can't make any promises. "noclip" is a term from general gamer culture which is why I chose it, despite its origins in the Half-Life and Doom engines. Thanks for the suggestions :)
- Hydraulix989 8y agoGoldeneye and Perfect Dark too?
- ox_n 8y agoBlank on mobile. Cool?
- crazygringo 8y agoCan somebody explain what this is supposed to be? (Pet peeve: links on HN with zero context... is there a blog post?) I select a game, and it just renders gibberish. I get I can use the mouse and WASD to "move", but it just renders glitching vertical bars of random colors in both Chrome and Firefox, no matter what game I pick or where I "move". The "About" explains precisely nothing except controls to use. Tried on up-to-date Chrome and Firefox on macOS.
- maceurt 8y agoDoes not work on any web browser I have tried in ubuntu. Even disabled adblock.
- rgoulter 8y agoIt's a 3D-map viewer for some particular set of Nintendo games. The levels render correctly for me. I guess the name "noclip" is because the effect is the same as using that cheatcode in quake etc.
- crazygringo 8y agoSounds cool. Too bad it doesn't appear to work on Macs? (Or at least mine -- MacBook late 2016, macOS 10.14.3, Chrome 72.0.3626.109.) Tried opening in Safari too, and the page is just white -- doesn't even load the menu interface or anything.
- rambojazz 8y agoI don't see anything happening. Just a black screen for every game that I select. I'm confused...
- JeanMarcS 8y agoMine is white :-D ! Safari on iPhone if it helps anyone
- Jasper_ 8y agoCould you press F12 and tell me what the console says?
- rambojazz 8y agoI no longer see the black screen but I still get this error: Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-35480078-3” https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-35480078-3”.
