The prefabs and standard.wad are from 1998 I believe. Due to this age they represent a remarkable antiquity value and we hesitate to give them up. In fact, it would almost break our hearts. i guess this explains: -the interface -the default models -the default textures -the default sounds lol... -wmiles and whistles-  I'd really vote for an updated standard.wad, along with some updated models.

imo wad system could be completely dropped with the new wed. Just use some folder, and provide general use good qualityy textures with the gamestudio.

Maybe George could have a contest for next months AUM for prefabs and then textures the following month.
The old wads, textures etc could then be added to the download page as optional downloads.
That way the designer's can consintrate on what they do best. "improving A7"

Personally I don't care what happens to office.  Yep, I do believe an upgrade of the standard graphics packages and such are in order. A redesign of the cbabe, pguard, hero, etc. would also be good, and might help bring 3DGS up to the latest speed with some of the other development packages a little. You know, when you buy a development suite+engine like this you'd like to have a little bit of quality sample material to toy with. At least I would. I would like to note that if you go to the 3D Gamestudio Downloads page you can find a link to a new Standard.wad that you can download for $20. It supposedly includes normal maps for all of the textures as well. Apparently nobody here seems to know this, though...

I was being sarcastic, I also don't really care about the office level, and I'd like to see the standard.wad replaced! Just wanted to show that jcls post was a lame excuse... (sorry jcl) redeemer, you should have read the previous posts, slacer had said the following about the new standard.wad you can get for $20: I bought the updated wad textures and they are just ugly.
Yes - they have a better resolution, but they contain visible repetitive spots. Seems they where just thrown together from the artists source folder without cleaning up for ingame use.

Maybe it just depends on your needs... If you want to replace the WAD to benefit from a higher resolution, it turns your clean wall in a dirty wall. Which is not like it was advertised: Replacement for the Gamestudio standard.wad file. All surface textures were carefully remade in true color and double resolution, including normal maps. Replace the standard.wad file with this wad and greatly improve the look of your levels!  Yes, it has a high resolution, but you will notice the changes.  All textures from the second image have a very dark spot which is something to avoid for a tile if it is intended to be used on a great area like a long floor, long wall or something like a stonebridge. Normalmaps are fine, double resolution is great - but these little things are annoying if found in a commercial product.
