You mean "the block's [noun]"?

[Putin]

Yes Block's not blocks.

[kmaj]

Yes Block's not blocks.

What do you mean?
1) Plural of block, as in "these are blocks";
2) Abbreviation of "is", as in "the block's here";
3) Saxon genitive, as in "the block's colour".
Oh and we're going OT here.

[ChaosTLW]

I mostly agree with you. IMO graphics are something "optional". If they are good,then GREAT! :D But if the GAME is good,then the graphic wont really matter. Sure, a game with better graphics will have a better look,but it doesnt mean it will be good.

I'm sure its up there somewhere ...

@Chaos
I hate high graphic games cause they lag or soft lag that's why most pro's like CS1.6 more then CS:S.

Man i really wanted that OpenGL cilent... Right now.

I don't know, there's something about the current renderer's "softness" (for lack of a better term, I suppose) that I like. I'm afraid that the OpenGL renderer might make the voxels too pronounced.

Yeah, same. That's my only concern.

I honestly don't know about the OpenGL client. It really does look good, but like what you guys have been saying, is it too good? I know this won't be possible because of the higher amount of work needed, but it would be good if we had a choice on which client we use.

That's what I've been saying the moment I saw it

Solution for toaster user and bounded cubes likeness users:
Cilent-side toggable.
Problem solved.

[Paratrooper]

As is currently the case the bounded cube model used for weapons and tools distorts the outline on the objects in question, making the weapon appear "fuzzy" and allowing our imaginations to subconsciously fill in the blanks and have the weapons look more "realistic" as to their proper proportions, as with the current weapon size its impossible to create weapons in full detail without them becoming ridiculously over-sized.

If the Open GL client was used (which I have no idea why it would be preferred as it offers no changes to gameplay aside from aesthetics) all the weapons and tools would be completely blocky, and have discolorations all over due to the way voxel handles color shading (if you notice in the Open GL videos the tip of the rifle is oddly colored compared to the rest of the rifle) So in the end if Open GL was implemented it would offer nothing aside from making weapons and tools look even less realistic with weird mismatches coloring everywhere.


No thanks.

Blahblahblah. In my opinion, I like how the OpenGL shows how basic the gun is.

[PXYC]

Yes, a client side toggle would be nice.

[USABxBOOYO]

I personally think OpenGL's graphics are far superior to the current VOXLAP graphics.
