that look alittle like serious sam http://www.cubeengine.com/

Cube is an open source multiplayer and singleplayer first person shooter game built on an entirely new and very unconventional engine. Cube is a landscape-style engine that pretends to be an indoor FPS engine, which combines very high precision dynamic occlusion culling with a form of geometric mipmapping on the whole world for dynamic LOD for configurable fps & graphic detail on most machines. Uses OpenGL & SDL.

I could swear I've seen that texture set in a q3 map before, that egyptian themed one, the textures where made by that sock dude or something

Isn't this the one that stole a crapload of q3 media a whlle back? Or was that just the Kreed game?

Yeah, now be a good boy and take a ss, I run q3 on low settings so it would look like shit

Cube has been around since before I started playing around with graphics code (3 years).

Yeah, most project engines piggy-back on the Quake map format.

the built in editor's kind of slick.

Cube's pretty ancient now

And yes, those egyptian textures are used in many egyptian themed Q3 maps as well, but they're not commercial textures, so anyone can use them in any engine.

anyone know if sauerbraten's still being worked on? haven't looked at it in a while. sauerbraten's the nifty child of cube. nothing in cube was included without the original author's permission afaik.

trivia: (creator of cube,) aardappel's also behind one of the folks behind far cry.

Sauerbraten had a release recently.

These guys need to start forming much larger teams if they're going to be noticed.

They all and always lack sufficient content to hold attention, UI design, and sufficient testing.

Mostly it's some geek capable of coding an engine. Which does not a good game make.

Yeah. Nexuiz is definitely a bit more impressive.

yes... but they have a faggy star wars wigger fan song in their ad-video. reason enough, not to play it.

btw: it looks like q3 because these are custom textures made for q3

Post by **Fjoggs** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 6:42 pm

Wow that looks like crap.

Post by **Grudge** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 7:56 pm

that's Sock's egyptian texture pack, it's not Q3 exclusive
