Guys, I agree that SCP CB should be put on a better engine. Although if Regalis doesn't want to convert to a new engine, then leave the man alone. He's using what he's comfortable with. You want the game to look pretty? You're more then welcome to help. And the graphics that we currently have really aren't bad. Sure, it could look better. But it could also be worse. Take that into mind, lose your ignorance, and be thankful.

I followed the C++ conversion closely and I saw a late video of what the conversion would look like on the game. It looks amazing, and if this is what it looks like as the lesser C++ language, than I bet these other engines will make the game look fantastic.

Also, I understand that the conversion to an new engine will take a very long time. However, this will have to be necessary. A new engine will definitely fix the game up. For example, light. DYNAMIC light. Think of all the ideas that can be added. We can fix the light fixtures, add improved muzzle flash and even make some shadows. The possibilities are endless.

And please, don't make time your excuse for not wanting to convert. We have all the time in the world.

As for Regalis, well there is nothing to be done but to set yourselves some very good arguments and points.

Appreciation is a valuable trait. I thought my comrades on this forum were made of more morality. So unless you have something to contribute or have contributed, you have no place to try and justify your selfishness. It is okay to want a new one, but to complain about it without taking action yourself is cowardice.

Hang on. So we're not entitled our own opinion unless we provide something? Like what? A mod? Get off it. You guys can demand your new engine, but there also people against it. And I'm one of them.
Also, Regalis stated earlier he won't switch. So that's the end of it anyway.
The ignorance in some people is startling, even for someone selfish like me.

I'm sure that if there was quite enough work done to bring it up to the BLITZ3D version of CB's standards, it would be possible. I'm in full support of working on the conversion project.

I unfortunately don't have all the time in the world, even though I'm done with the military service. I'm starting a summer job at a paper factory next week (have to pay my bills and stuff), and I'll be working there until I start my studies in Turku Polytechnic in August. Also, it looks like you're underestimating how much work it would take to change the engine. You would have to wait way more than a few months for a new update.
