Custom Map Makers

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...

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...

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.

Our new engine design, code named Iceberg, will not be using brushes (ie bsp) but rather mesh based objects. What this means is anything made in a 3d application as far as geometry goes is compatible with a broad range of game engines including 4.2. A more general term for mesh based objects is a “p...

I'm still here

Good size and UrT needs more smallish maps.

Feed back we have been getting on some of our test maps is a need for smaller designs with vertical game play.

You use 3DS Max right?

If so just make it and I'll be happy to check it over for you as to ideas and options.

Working top down the best approach that fits the needs of our team is to look at the game engine as just another 3d application with a real time active event system attached and instead focus on file types and formats that are common and are native to the engine. HD will be designed to run Urban Ter...

Well with out seeing the build asset it's difficult to say what the root of the problem is. By default the engine will load in TGA as the preferred texture unless told to use JPG as defined by absolute targeting or if the TGA version is not in the texture path. So if texture path = textures/my_textu...

Oh lord if I hang out on just one more IRC channel I would never get anything done. As a cookie and a bit of an up date at the moment I'm working on helping to update the animation system as my primary project and doing an in-depth audit of the current asset and content pipeline. There is a lot of s...

As a suggestion at first keep things as simple as possible that builds towards the bigger idea. In my opinion the layout is perfect as to the need of fulfilling that need and the feedback will really start once you have something in hand to examine . All you can do with a piece of paper is make a pa...
