half-life 1 engine!

Dude. I was totally kidding

Me too . Although AssciateLinuxProgr-[SOUP] has me confused. Is he insane or is his English just not so hot?

And I don't know about real-time raytracing. That sort of thing has been Real Soon Now since the early 90s, no?

I don't know how long it has been on the RSN(tm) list, but there have been some very good looking announcements recently from actual research groups, the rundown I saw is here.

With some dedicated hardware, it really does sound like it is honestly in the 3-5 year range.

Totally, and DNF is going to be the first game to use it.

Well I had many thougth on h1 engine becased gravity gun is so greate.  Also maybay use african womans for new femaled marine modles?  So many ideas.

One think I make for idea is to have bumped mapper effects all over wals.  That way we make alien boogers on walls for extra atmosphericy.  It can be done cause i programmars it in old quake engine game I make long time ago (SPACE FIGHTER 2 go check out sometimes)

Oh anothar think I make for big open levesls with lots of clouds.  Alians hide in clouds than come downs in rain?  Like thar space ships is made from clouds on home planet (like big smelly cloud?).  I dunno just ideas ok.

AssciateLinuxProgr, you made me laugh!, you are BRILLANT WITH INTENSE COLOR AND FLAVOUR!

Didn't you say you'd play tremulous without textures ?

Btw, I think you can do that with a "r_picmip 60". It should reduce all textures to a 1 pixel texture

Anyway. Yes.  People play games withouth textures and love it:

About the use of light. I am all about AGREE with the use of light. But all about NOT the use of shadows.

Coronas can really enhance the eyecandy and braincandy of a game:
- rockets coronas
- blip coronas on grenades
- corona on CTF flag
- flashlight with a corona
- tag games (it)
- tag "the king of hill"
- etc

The gamecode can control a corona, but can't control a shadow, and shadows push for gimmicky gameplay, while a corona can be for good.

yes i agree, pong with shadows would look ridiculous and with corona the ball would just be awesome!

Its a bad example, but hell!...anyway:

Pong with glow:

Play


Pong with shadows:

Play

just kidding!

That's exactly what I said : Quake 3 could use a better lighting model, especialy for models ( not the same word ) There is so much more to lighting than pitch black shadows.

- blip coronas on grenades

Shadows were a good element for Doom 3 gameplay, no doubt. But good looking dynamic shadows do not need to be a gameplay element, it's just some more eye candy. I've activated the Quake 3 shadows and I like it like that, despite the horrible bugs in some situations. That and the fact that it helped me spot a trapper behind a closed door a few times
