The use of shaders “must” die.

By far shaders are the number one FPS performance sucking vampire in 4.2 and by their nature can not be hardware accelerated. In all probability scripting will be used instead.

1) I noticed urho3d and ogre3d support both opengl and direct3d9, will UrT hD be bale to run in either modes or will you stick to opengl. Since I'm not a coder I can not give you a 100% truthful answer but if important I can check and follow up but the need is to support Windows, Linux and Mac versi...

Re you going with urho/ogre or their modifications or will the engine be built from ground up by FS coders. Good Question. The code name for our engine design is Iceberg and is modular in design as to what we want to put into it and more important to take out necessary to run Urban Terror at the hig...

As some of you might have noticed Frozen Sand has announced that Urban Terror HD will be built on an engine of our own design so if you have any question feel free to ask and I'll see what I can do to give a reasonable answer as it relates to where we are now.

No rush I'm not going anywhere

The nice thing about this technique is you can easily explore new ideas in a world where it's already possible to make an out outstandingly good looking map by supplemental detailing. For example. m You can do this already in the idtech3/4.2 engine including a perfectly matched opacity alpha map for...

SO where we at?

I would like to see something the size of say a Abbey set up as a KnockOut based map. It's an up and coming game type and I'm sure I can get SevenofNine to run it in and up coming event. As to who needs to do what yeah that’s the way to go and besides it's way easier to build for what is needed base...

Sounds good Markinho.

The ideal of a team based project like this is anyone should feel free to jump in at any time and then jump out when RL takes priority.

LOL you bet. I'll be making a building as well.

Life is much easier if you have references to work from.
