Blurrier textures make models easier to distinguish.

Or you could have a glow about each model. Make em all look like angels of death sent from the depths of hell!!!!!

MatiZ · 12-14-2008, 04:31 PM

Excuse me devs, but you already talked with Valve about Steam release?

Yes they have.

Circuitous · 12-14-2008, 09:23 PM

Since before release, in fact.

greenday5494 · 12-14-2008, 09:36 PM

I tihnk you should just skip OB and go right to L4D

Circuitous · 12-14-2008, 09:36 PM

Oh, L4D engine is out? Spectacular! Let's scrap what we've done and skip right to that, then.

KubeDawg · 12-14-2008, 09:42 PM

What does L4D engine have that OB doesn't?

Circuitous · 12-14-2008, 09:45 PM

Some stuff.

Whatever L4D is using allows for two cores to be used, or multi cores. I forget which. It also has some really good lighting stuff I believe.

greenday5494 · 12-15-2008, 12:50 AM

It has a much better shadowing system (the shadows actually move, not the ones with the flashlights), some VERRY small DX10 support, i mean tiny, and it's not even used. Just some leftover code, prolly for EP3. Oh, and L4D runs a lot better on my machine, support for multicores, Dual Core and up. A more efficient rendering system as well, and while it's not gonna be used for FF at all, support for lots of AIs on screen at once.

Valve time?

Circuitous · 12-15-2008, 10:44 PM

OB -> L4D will be an easier transition, so we'll just finish what we've already started before taking any stupid suggestions.

GeoKill-----> · 12-17-2008, 07:42 PM

Plus Quad support coming to the OB as well
TF2 not going to the l4d engine since they dont want to drop support from dx 8, which is wise.

greenday5494 · 12-17-2008, 10:38 PM

Quad is only going to TF2's version. and then that'll be largley L4D code, so it'll be an inbetween thing, but maybe they will update the SDK, im doubtful they will though

I know I do, but I'd get a new computer before that happens.
