New Engine?

[DesktopGeneral]

Whats been updated from the previous version?
Larger maps sounds great, was one of the things I was hoping for.

Though I cannot go into all details, I have announced that we will have MP. I have also announced that War3D II was written using PowerRender 6.8, a much more up to date graphics engine. The original War3D engine used an old PR5 version that was outdated before the first MMG game. This should allow some upgrades in graphics ability, etc.

I can't remember if those screens were made with PR6.8 or our TV3D version that we messed with for a while. We'll get more screens up as we move along. btw MP is going very well, I did a multi machine test last night that ran very well and stayed in sync!

MP too cool, wasnt too worried about graphics being updated I was fine with what you had in the last game but its a plus.
Thanks for the info

It's very cool! I've wanted to do it for so long but never had the time because I was handling so much else for MMG. I can't wait to get it to the team and see what they think, but it's gotta run good first and it's a little choppy right now.

I look forward to seeing what you do with MP. Will it be limited to smaller battles?

I always thought a flag per online person
and a ranking sys would be cool stuff
..thats dreaming though hehehe..

I really don't know more details other than it will have it. The reason is that I have no idea how long it will take to get it right. We have to test and retest to make sure it works good. After that, if we have time, we'll add more features.
