Thanks to monads, making a VPP parser was trivial.
It took 20 lines if you cut out the debug print stuff (as seen above).

Looking over the TBL files.
Daaaaang, these people have so sense of consistency.

Got the messy code together to parse TBL files into an intermediate AST
Not that I can extract useful data from it yet, but it's a start with formatted data.

now parse the animation files 
What, no gif?
Before I get to that, I should probably try to get TGAs and static geo working in a generic rendering pipeline.
Wooohooo
I'm sorta drawing it noooow https://youtu.be/xl9-h4fvkXU
The only problem is that I don't have the polygon face thing figured out.
Right now I'm just using a rolling triangle thing, which seems to be functioning for the most part, but doesn't match what ever RF is doing. Guess I might poke at open faction.

Tried the idea I had this morning before going to work.
Worked perfectly!

Level 1 seems to have loaded as expected.
Now to bring in some textures.

Behold!
https://youtu.be/UTAM0HGTplM
Textures!
I can load from a single VPP, need to figure out the VPP-layering so I can get multiple textures.
Looks like level 1 roof is in maps 2 and level 1 floor is in maps 3. (or the opposite)

Now I got multi-VPP support.

And now for a couple more level files.

cool
AFAIK the textures are split up into maps*.vpp essentially randomly

Yeah, I got those loaded now, which is why Level 1 has both the ceiling and floor, as well as maps_en for things like posters.
Gonna have to figure out why the others are not loading though.
I can probably hide the portal faces.

when/if you do the lightmaps, try recalculating them based off the lights, because RF's lightmaps are so low res, it's sad
I second this. RED even has better lightmaps than the game does...
Disclaimer: I'm talking about lightmaps directly after you calculate them in RED - if you save a .rfl and reload it in RED, it shows you shitty lightmaps.

Hahaha, sure. I guess I can. Though first I need to break it up so I have independent mesh control and camera control.
Still not sure what to do about the broken textures though.
Got the rooms separated now, and I have basic things done for independent mesh position control.

https://youtu.be/p8f0MYzICHE stage two of wobbly is success
This demonstrates mesh-level matrix support (instead of a global set of translate and transforms that get calculated on each vertex)
The next step would be moving to mesh sets, meshes, and sub meshes.

My work is in crunch mode lately, so I haven't had my brain and energy to myself.
Don't worry,
