We need shaders, shaders are beautiful.

Shaders in CB will make Black Ops 2 look like WarZ

I can't wait for the shaders.

lol I'm flattered

I wanted to start working on the basic engine [threadpools aren't very readily available in libraries, so I gotta roll one myself, that'll be fun(It will cause it's a learning experience)], however, I won't be able to till probably the 13th as I have to write an essay for my macro economics course, and that is due on the 12th, I hate essays, especially when I have to write about something in a specific field that I'm not really good at. This sucks as I also have to write a second paper later this term. I'll probably post an entry on my site once I have my essay done and turned in, or not, haven't decided yet. Whatever though... lol

Sucks to suck. What is c++? Engine upgrade? Can i make shaders?

C++ as far as I know is a programming language. Also, shaders oh my gah...

Glad to see its still rolling along, scp:cb definitely should shed its old blitz3d shell and expand onto its own engine

I would like to see improved shaders and lighting, the models just don't look the same in-game as when compared to blenders rendering when I do work.

You should PM me some screenshots [or something] of some of your renders, at their best quality if possible. It would be nice to know what our current meshes are capable of...

When delving into the engine, how much of the current game's logic do you want to port directly? This talk of a C++ application has kind of got me excited, and I've started thinking about world generation.

It's crude, and more of a platform for thought than much anything else. I'm actually a student of environmental design, and started thinking about how a realistic facility could be generated from parts.

When the game's ported to C++, will we still be able to change the sound, texture, and model files from the game folders?

Surely, everything might be compressed into packed files though(?) any games I've done some minor modding for have them all in organized compressed files with various directories with organizing all the assets still. The only big change I can think of will be the model formats though.



@answer42:
I'll send some screenshots of renders when I get somewhere with decent wifi, the biggest things I've noticed is that blitz3d's lighting doesn't bring out quite all the normal mapping/specularity.
