anyone tried this? screens look superb, and look at the fps counter... WOOOOOOW! plus, editing seems to be simple through in-game editing.
thoug i played "cube" some years ago and the predecessor didn't look so pretty, but this seems promising. any comments?

here's the engine website URL: http://www.cubeengine.com/

seriously, try it. this engine redefines your view on speed in shadered games!

sure, it lacks a lot of features, like real terrain support, or a model editor, but the level editor is a pleasure. build your first "mod" in minutes and play it online with friends! don't like the map as is? change it in realtime, hit "calculate lighting" and that's it!
how easy game development could be...

Thanks for the info. That sounds great. You could prepare a level with our sci-fi textures. I would like to see how they look in that engine

yes, i will try, thogh it may take some time, i did not yet dig into the creation of non-predefined stuff.

[edit]
@frank; you got mail!
@all; be prepared, i'm workin on a level...

this is the latest ingame-shot from a level i created with textures from DEXSOFT. hope you like it.

WOW! nice effects man!
I've looked at sauerbraten some time back, didn't switch to it yet cause I couldn't find any good intros into the programming... I love the reflection on the metal (or water??) on the floor...!
I'd work on the rock texture... looks to me like there's seams there...
it's great!
so the the fps is good in that engine??

it's water.

fps is 200+ (or 80 in full screen mode) @ 1024x768x32+4xAA on my GF 6800/AthXP2600+, fps is perfect, really, bloom and other fullscreen shaders seem to have no impact on the framerate at all.
though the engine is really unflexible when it comes to programming issues, it supports only a quakescript-like language, but it's fun to play with.

the issue with the wall texture is true. it has some minor seams, but the greater problem is the octree-blockonly structure of sauer. the hieghtmap feature is rudimentary and you don't believe how many edges and corners i had to pull to make iot that "smooth" at it is now.

I'm sticking to 3dgs ... nothing against sauerbraten... I've tried it and it is pretty fun to play with, you're right. ... I just like to have more control over wat I can do and have more options than sauerbraten can give... it's nothing for me, being a programmer...:)

Wow, this looks real nice. I had a look at the ActionCube mod for it, and it's not bad, despite some lacks in gameplay.

Now we can just imagine...

The ease-of-use and programming ease of 3dgs, combined with the GFX and speed of the Cube engine with octree.

Maybe A7 will be like that?

wtf, i played sauerbraten, but i didnt find any of those good looking screens. nor those shader effects. do i need to tweak any settings? i guess my 6800 should do it
