Its a game (like tribes) from Garage Games. I've already made something similar in their Torque Game Engine Advanced, but I want the proper flexibility that DBPro offers. Will the engine be fast enough d'ya think?

Cheers,
Bozzy

So, the speed of multiplayer plugins and the speed of the overall engine will be fine as long as I code well?

I say this because Torque was designed for this type of game, but I want to make something like this in DBPro to use all of the plugins I've bought!

Cheers,
Bozzy

Im not really what you would call a programmer... Im a designer and musician... its what I do... You will frequently see me posting for help on these forums because i know very little, but that doesnt make what i'm about to say any less true....

The question isn't can DBP do this, the question is can YOU do this with DBP.

lol i had a little help in that one :p

response from John H to my very first post ever on the TGC forums

Quote: "Can it support 10k poly models? Surely, but thats not very efficient. DBP ran 100 1250 poly models at 25 FPS on a 1.08 Athlon processor. Thats not too bad, considering it was an old system.

Character models should be about 2-3k in polys, and slap a good texture on em and they ARE X-Box quality.

The real question is, can you make X-Box quality graphics

Dont go poly overboard, 2-3k in polycount and a good texture makes a fine model

The engine is fully capable of doing that kind of work, but you have to be careful not to put millions of pixels on the screen. Using efficient loops and performance increasing tricks will be able to get you some very high quality stuff.

What in the earth are you talking about?
In this case it would be polygons..
And computer is basically using millions of pixels all the time..

@Bozzy
Take time and spent on gallery and forums.. You can see some quality projects
In example:
Redwall Game,Geisha House,Illusion Of Tower,(18+) Adult Viewer,Final Exodus and etc...

If these arent enough. I suggest trying Dark GDK! Its basically c++ with DBPRO libaries!
