I think this would be a great addition to ace of spades.

@iamthemoose: I know some spells.
Like the fireball spell.

And you which spell do you know ?

Bad day.

"This topic is one of your favorites".
Not only because the engine looks nice and I want to check later on but also because of the lulz reading the troll-posts here.

Hey Cpowa, Stop being an ignorant, mis-informed and under-educated proponent of this. You leave much to be desired in your methods of convincing anybody on this forum. Also, learn to spell.

Good day.

Well, my argument still stays.

Veeery nice engine.

Not good for AoS.

But if you want to make game, go ahead and I bet it will be the best game ever made.

[/thread]

And this doesn't belong in AoS in my opinion - I think this shall just stay as blocky, no need for fancy graphics nor this physics system here.

It's a pretty sweet engine. The only downside is it would take an age to generate a large map on today's hardware. As he mentioned in his video "Terrain Destruction", that small scene took several hours to generate. Imagine how long it would take to generate an AoS-sized world.

In the future, I hope that engines like that come to the forefront of gaming, as polygons don't allow such fine detail of destruction as voxels. I like in his engine that each voxel has a material assigned to it and each material has a strength, such as how the plaster is easier to destroy than the brick, how the sand is destroyed by the vehicle moving over it but rocks are not, etc.

I don't think his engine has physics yet, as he didn't showcase it in his destruction video and seemed to try to not leave any floating voxels when destroying the building, but I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to implement.

Cpowa, all you do is trash people that disagree with you. Calling people that disagree idiots makes you look like one. I disagree. These graphics and this engine are just perfect for me.

I bet you click on my topic because of the OMFGBBQ

Also saying omfgbbq jesus christ ugh

Okay

It's in fucking real time faggot.
classy

@iamthemoose and @Loaf: you are both idiots. I'm not saying Ben MUST use this engine (It is not even released !). I'm just saying IMAGINNE if a game like ace of spades was made with this engine. Now learn to read and GTFO please.
(oh and for my "rhetoric", learn what an epanalepsis is. You'll become less dumb)

For those who expect physics in ace of spades stop dreaming It'll never happened.

@Gnome and @Noire: So because some peoples have shitty PC nobody is allowed to made a game who needs a good one ? If you were not trolling you are the biggest morrons ever

@superkonami: Have you ever read what I said ? It's GPU accelerated. Did you see the videos ? It's in fucking real time faggot.

it looks neat, but i'd rather not wait the 30 years it would take to realtime render those millions of voxels.

HEY EVERYONE
YOU KNOW THAT GAME YOU PLAY?
WELL LET'S TRASH IT AND START OVER

It seems like a great idea, but think of the system requirements.

Dude, it'd be a good idea. But what about the guys with crap P.Cs and play this game 'cause it's the few it will? Think about EVERYONE!

Cpowa, not everyone thinks your way.
You should realise that you should be finding a game that suits your needs, not trying to make another game suit your needs by calling people idiots at the forums. (IT ISN'T WORKING YOU MORON)

Sure, let's get a brand-new engine for a game that hasn't yet hit the full-release. Forget new weapons, forget new maps, hell let's just abandon AoS's current build and start over because then you can get your pretty maps and physics faster... >_>

Personally, I think this game needs a more efficient map-generator (maybe even smaller voxels to smooth terrain and allow more intricate buildings), and an implementation of physics to the extent that a building that should collapse, will collapse.

Also, to OP, learn your rhetoric better. Repeating the same basic question (y'know, "You don't want to...") and assuming that anyone who doesn't answer them the same way as you serves only to alienate you from the people you are trying to convince. Why bicker about what you want to do when mortars get implemented when MORTARS HAVEN'T BEEN IMPLEMENTED.

This game isn't even to 0.50 yet. Get over it.

@Naka your just a retard thats not my photobucket i just went in google and typed "you must be new here" and posted the link

Unfortunately, karl221 isn't a troll, he's the real thing, I'm pretty sure he just discovered what a meme is

edit: Looking at his photobucket, YEP

@magicsofa: This is not about graphics, this is more about physics (and smoother terrain eh). Physics is always awesome even when it's not a game (I know I'm a physics student :3) so when you put it in a game it becomes CRAZYYYY

And what the problem with a construction cube made of small voxels ?

@Naka With the actual connexion it is possible.
And for my phrases I was just backtrolling the trollers.

Both. I can see placing blocks being replaced with placing bricks, or a selection of shapes with an easy-access Gmod style interface.
Though, the issue of netcode still stands..?

Are you saying it would add to building potential, or just to the overall game?

It doesn't look plausible for online play, too much network data required to transfer the maps, destruction, and everything else, unless I'm dead wrong.
Fuck off with your "don't know shit about vidya" "U mad and jelly ?"
None of these catch phrases belong here, or were entertaining in the first place (unless you're the moron you mentioned)

"One of the main reasons is because building would become very different. "
That's a bad reason IMO, I think it would add far too much to have harder building offset the benefits. AOS in its current engine is going to keep going for a while yet regardless.

"So you don't want to be able to dig trench and tunnel in a more realistic way ?"

No.

I don't play video games looking for realism. I'm looking for fun and challenge. Now, there are many reasons why high-quality graphics can provide more fun, beyond just how awesome it looks. It allows for more detailed environments which can aid in the storytelling and interactivity of the game, for one thing.

However, graphics are just how the game provides you with information. The way the game works and plays are not totally dependent on the visuals. Of course, you can't have a racing game without somehow representing the player driving a vehicle (hopefully at ludicrous speeds), but you can have a racing game without extreme realism.

That is an impressive engine, but I would not desire it for AoS. One of the main reasons is because building would become very different. You obviously can't have the player placing one voxel at a time. So what are you going to do - have her place a cube of voxels? Or should it be materials that have a pre-determined shape, like fencing? I much prefer the slightly more abstract, low-resolution style. It makes building simple enough that you don't have to learn how to do it (like having all kinds of controls for rotating the piece and bla bla bla). Instead you can focus on playing the game, and learning how to build *well*

Not to mention, most of the cool features you talked about like more realistic collapsing and some bigger explosions, are totally possible in the current engine and would actually be awesome. This is an example where realistic features can definitely improve a game...and it has nothing to do with stepping up the graphics.

At least someone who is not a moron.

Absolutely beautiful. This game would look wonderful with that engine. Seriously.

Also, I got tired of the "bounded boxes" render mode pretty fast. You can even see people from under blocks if you're looking up. I'm sure it's nothing but a variable change away from everything being rendered as cubes, seeing as Slab6 can. Not sure about the map editor, though, and it appears to be a modified version of AoS, unlike Slab6, so yeah.

Really ?

That doesn't mean you can't go off-topic.
