New screenshots are here, showing the advances made over the summer. A ton of rendering code has been rewritten. Not only have we added a great number of next-gen eyecandy features, we've also spent a great deal of time optimizing things.






Latest SVN updates:

9-12-2008 Specular highlights for parallax surfaces.

8-31-2008 Antilag code added.

8-24-2008 GLSL lighting of normalmapped surfaces - dynamic lighting of normal and parallaxed mapped bsp surfaces now handled with GLSL shaders.

8-20-2008 Performance boost - vertex lerping is no longer batched up before rendering mesh, now done inside the texture mapping loop. Should help big time in cases of larger amounts of players on screen, as instead of iterating through the model twice, it just does it once now, per pass.

8-21-2008 Vaporizer splash damage cut in half. Weapon is no longer "one shot, one kill" unless there is a direct shot, which is damn hard to achieve given the way the weapon fires.

8-21-2008 Fixed some bugs with shadows caused by lerping changes above.
