Well, here is a map i am making for my game called .caliber, it will be an online shooter, but the point of this isnt the game itself, the point are the graphics,
I want to show all of you what x9 is capable of, so well here i give you the screens(srry for the last two screenies they are a bit messed up i know :S ):






And here is a video to show its not photoshop editing:

X9 is 100000% percent BETTER than pathetic X10. Games on the new systems today still use X9.

Bland level design, repetitive textures. I'm not sure how this proves anything except that you could use a little more decoration. But it looks okay.

What's this sudden obsession with C++? It's not exactly a drag and drop game engine, it's a programming language. You'll have to put quite a lot of effort to make a decent FPS engine, with the rendering, game logic and everything.

I know, i am learning c++ atm, also c++ has loads more of performance, and you can make it look like you want, you can make the engine the way you want also, in fps c wasnt possible a good online engine

I've played FPSC multiplayer games online and they can be quite fun.I've even made a few myself.While multiplayer is limited in FPSC the games can still be quite fun.

Sorry to say, but I didnt even had to see the movie. Before i could say that the images are not photoshoped.
First of all, you are using a dll mod, or a source mod.
And the title is:

Quote: "[X9] So x10 is better than x9 graphically? Lets see.."


So that isnt true it must be:

[X9] So x10 is better than x9 (with mod, that slightly will improve my graphics a bit) graphically? Lets see..

It is very bland, like said before. And you have lightraces that are yellow, but outside it is blue. How can that be?

And it is a good choice to go to C++. To move one, to learn more.

Yes it sounds funny.

But... I am sure you can use load of editors. To easily get to the point he is now. I use DarkGDK + VSC++ and it is going great. So i think it is a fantastic experience to move one, and learn more. You will only benefit from it. No matter if you finish your game or not. Maybe along your way, you find something even more interesting. And you let go C++. Doesnt Matter.

lol, I see very little in this video that is exclusive to your mod. Recently, relief mapping on characters has been cracked, as well as segments. I would like to see that done in x9.

As far a crit goes, much everything has already been said. Very bland, plain level design. Repeating textures, etc.

We know that x9 is better than x10 from what we've seen on these forums.

I've yet to see an X10 game which looks as good as Meat.

Eldora in X10? Dont be ridiculous.

The X10 community mainly consists of people who reckon that adding bloom and water to a badly designed game makes it more awesome than anything X9 can make. Well, that's the impression I get from half the WIPs that have been posted.

Because, no offence but, yours hasnt shown us anything out of the ordinary for a FPSC game. Just a lot of graffitid segments

I agree in the segments part, but if you watch the video, his level design skills are amazing.

Of course, thats got nothing to go with graphic quality. =P

X10 might not be as mature as X9 but that doesn't make it a worse technology.

Quote: "We know that x9 is better than x10 from what we've seen on these forums."


You dont know that X9 is better than X10 unless you've developed with both. Going by what you've seen means nothing.

Quote: "I've yet to see an X10 game which looks as good as Meat."


Again means nothing in regards to the engine. There hasn't been a serious X10 game development showcase yet because it takes longer to make all the required textures and set everything up.

Quote: "Eldora in X10? Dont be ridiculous."


Eldora's scenes use texture baking for lighting and shadows from 3D Max. If the segments were imported into X10 they would look exactly the same.

I've attached a basic pic showing 2 segment textures and a creature with normal and specular mapping in X10. Surface shaders simply don't work on segments in this way for X9 so it is NOT as good graphically from a technical standpoint.

The thing is that X9 is so much easier to manipulate. There are no mods for X10, there are loads for X9, its just so much more user friendly. You can do so much more things with it. All X10 games are very similar.

@Arenas: I haven't seen many x10 threads her, but the amount of similar x10 games is probably the same ratio, or even smaller, as x9 games that look the same. I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy here, but I personally think x10 is better then stock fpsc x9 or even efx mod. Also, the reason there are no mods for x10 is because the program used to compile the source (DBPro x10) is yet to be released publicly.

@Aaagreen: A majority of the x10 threads I've seen here look very well designed, and now-a-days don't over-use the bloom. Also, if you'll click the link in my signature, you'll see several x10 W.I.P.s that are extremely well done, and a commercial game that has already released their first Beta. I've played it, and I think it's BOTB material. If you're curious the game is called Alex Angel.

Besides, does any of this arguing matter really because the migration will make them the same product.

Incorrect. There is no way a pure X9 engine will achieve true GPU instancing. That is an X10 GPU explicit feature. On top of that, if someone has an X9 card, they won't be able to utilize the SM4.0 shaders that come with FPSCX10. Granted, all of those shaders are easily achieved in X9, the point remains.

The migration seems to be a dream of Lees to do something he should have done to begin with... Make one engine that can utilize both X9 and X10 effectively. I mean, honestly how HARD is it to set up an option in the Editor for us to turn on/off GPU instancing or to detect if SM4.0 is present... why not just make a single FPSC that can do everything? Why not make an FPSC that can compile X9 explicit games as well as X10 games?



Yeah, okay... I'm done. I feel like such a troll now, having read so many threads and decided to come into this one for the sake of arguing.

X10 flat out looks better. It's not a debate. It's not an argument. You can show pictures of X9 games all day long. It means nothing. X10 has more powerful graphics, it just doesn't have the support X9 does.

Jenkins is right. Just because famous games haven't been made explicitly for X10 does not mean it weaker in any way to X9. Companies in general use X9 over X10 because there is still a much larger user-base for it. If everyone on the planet used X10 and had the ability to run X10 games, there would be no debate on which to use.

No if you read the the whole thread you maybe understand what my point was.

He is using a dll Mod. So you CANT compare.

Look at this quote of my above post:

So that isnt true it must be:

[X9] So x10 is better than x9 (with mod, that slightly will improve my graphics a bit) graphically? Lets see.."

X9 with mod is (technically) better than X10... why do I say this? because it has way better performance than X10 till now.

@Jenkins: Maybe your`e right. Standart X9 is pretty weak compared to standart X10.

@All: Maybe my eyes are cheating me... BUT: The title is about the comparation with x9 and x10, so.... NO YOU CAN COMPARE x9 with mods(EDIT: or any dll mod. what ever), with x10.

Look, in these days...., when you mention x9 a lot of things come to mind, like airmod, s4mod, efx mode,play mod, horror mod....
So, its like an addon for x9, this thread has been made to show what fps c x9 (yeah "shighlly modified" ^^) can do

So basiclly you saying X10 is nothing compared to a modified version of X9?
Pretty good analogy IMO!

Your 'Test' is hardly balanced between the two, therefore your using a modified version of X9 and comparing it to a Unmodded version of X10 without even any difference's between the two being shown(Comparison images are pretty much needed).

Not only that, the level design in your X9 level is bland, repetitive, and will get boring after awhile - Seriously now, you can't compare that map to one that's full of entities and decals and say it's better can you? - Nup, you can't.

Quote: "And you have lightraces that are yellow, but outside it is blue. How can that be?"

Well, if:
Outside = Blue,
Windows tint = Yellow,
Light Rays = Yellow & blue-white,

No one knows just what has become of her, Shattered, dull, desperate, oh so innocent and delicate. But too damn obdurate, And obstinate to let go!

Well said Matuka.
@Black Profductions seriously, just wondering have you ever used the x10? I'm going to use it. Here's the thing I see. Yes overall graphically x10 beats x9 unmodded. In my opinion after using fpsc x9 for 2 years and so months, I'M CHOOSING BOTH x9 and x10. I've made a gundam game in x9 with cockpit and everything. It's awesome but something is missing.... 1.better water, Yes I'm using helix's water but it's not good enough, 2.teammates, I want to make a nice gundam battle scene with enemies and teammates. 3. better graphics, and ingame video recorder. Yes I've used fraps but it acts stupid and I can't ever get it to record when i want it to. So yeah, a lot of games have been made in x9, but what if they were put in x10, give the player a team, and for any levels that are outdoor without water, throw some in there, then add maybe a lil bloom and wallah!!!! I bet there a lot of good games in x9 that could benefit if used x10. But please understand I'm NOT saying all x9 games need x10. I'm just saying I think some might actually benefit or turn out better. So if anyone reads this don't shoot down x10 right away without trying it first. Who knows maybe someone will read this and make one of the best games in fpsc history and it will be made with x10.
