<!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

By the way, this mod is gunna kick some major arse, i have strong faith in it <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Anways..Will the new cs:cz upgraded engine also effect regular hl. The option to make the graphics look more crisp or dull for low end users. Is there by anyway some of that technology could be implemented in NS? Its not that Iam saying that NS looks like krap, cause it hell sure doesn't, its probably the best looking stuff i have seen.

Thanks for reading

Buenos noches chicos
Hasta la vista

    I think for CZ, it isnt an option to upgrade the graphics (like it was in Blue Shift), but it is modified graphics, like in NS. So no, I don't think it will change anything.

    I'd like to ask the developers what they could possibly use from cs:cz to put into NS.

    I don't think NS neccisariliy needs any technology whatsoever from CZ. Mabey some mild graphic enhancers, but NS is so extreamly different from CZ that is ludacris.

    The main new technology they were adding into the engine for cs was to be able to have an alpha channel in model skins so models can have translucent areas (such as glass)

    The Half-Life engine could use some upgrades: multiple texture layers, water that can be shadowed or a cool texture effect like cubemaps. Or is that too many to ask <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    I would but I'd rather play NS before I bring up my grandchildren.

    Er... yay. Transparency.... on models... So... <i>where</i> is that useful?

    I'm saying, why upgrade to CZ engine when you can just keep the modified HL engine you have that possibly already looks better than CZ?

    Transparency on models is =very= useful, especially when trying to model - for example - plants.  At least, if you want to keep your polycount low.

    Funny thing... At least the first two of those were realized into HL by talented mappers (check the older posts in the mapping forum for topics started by Yamazaki - he made a watertexture that's shadowed correctly.).
