Introducing Iris

[MGFox]

Every map is currently built from the ground up using thousands of 8x8 square brushes, i.e. One wall from a smaller room in the first map, is built with 12 brushes!

The map renderer will only draw what can be seen on the screen, so the maps with corridors and enclosed rooms only need to draw a small amount of the brushes at a time! The second map, however, is completely open and exposed, to give the player a feeling of vulnerability...but this also means that every single brush used to build the map (approximately 1200 in total) has to be rendered. Thats why its so small, believe me, it was bigger!

MaxSMoke: It's current MODablity is the ability to create and use your own Maps and Player Models, nothing more! Its currently only a multiplayer QIII or UT type game, so there is no savegame ability! You can export from 3DS Max to a .map file, which you can then compile to a BSP...One of my mates used to create QIII maps in GMax which could export to BSP, that might be worth a look!

Cheers,
Fox

Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc, Running out of time.

I would just like to let everybody know that even if my first build does not make your exspectation, I am working hard to improve things daily and hopefuly will have a second release with much more by the weekend. It's amazing how much has come together so far in such a short amount of time.

What about the future? Will it support data saving and further modding? How much hacking would it take to make something like that work?
