Uhh. can someone tell me what voxel IS? i open it up and i have NO IDEA what i'm doing, so i just exit out of it and try to forget it. but I REALLY want to know what it is tho XD

It's a 3D pixel, basically.

uh...... well that doesn't really tell me anything. -.- what do you use it for?

If you don't know what a pixel is, you're beyond help.

You might be asking the wrong question. The engine rendering all these voxels and running the game for you, Chiken, was origionally intended for a space game i think (thus the crazy camera).

Its been used in a few demos by Kevin i think his name is, the developer of this engine called Voxlap if i remember correctly. (Either that or it is the Render type)

Voxels are the blocks you see in AOS, they can be rendered as spheres, cubes, dots and flat 2D versions of these. (That is what AOS uses, the flat 2D version for terrain and weapons. Thusly you can see through the floor at some angles.)
How ever, the bounding box of the Voxel is still there. There are a couple different uses for the Voxel style of game, mostly seen in cave-like exploration mini games.

Oh and one bad ass version of Wolfenstein for the PC

uh... so why is it included in the downloaded package? do we use it for something?

wait, you mean VoxEd?

/edit for the dudes below

Yup, people can make custom maps and object skins using "voxel editors". The same way you might work on art for a pixel game with MSPAINT

Do you mean voxed? It's the map editor for AoS (Voxel Editor). It's very hard to use since you have to learn all the key bindings and you can't change them. Get voxed companion, it makes voxed easier to use.

You can also use a program called Slab6, which is mainly used for making weapon mods. You'll have to import what you make into voxed if you're making a map though.

There is also a minecraft to vxl editor on the forums too. Just use the search link at the top of the page.

I think ch1k3n~ want to know what a voxed.exe is. To put it simply it's a map editor that uses voxels (described in posts above) as a part of terrain. There is a manual in the same folder as voxed so you should check it out.

THANK YOU, last three people XD that's what i was asking! so what can you do once you've made a map?

Play.. it? thats really all there is. Get map, Get Women, Get Paid.

If you can't host it some one on here usually will if it isn't total garbage.

Heres a list of things, most having to do with Voxel editing.
