Title: Xash 3D engine
Post by: iamaloner on January 11, 2013, 05:25:06 pm
Hello fans and devs of UFO:Alien Invasion !!

I propose that UFO:AI changes its engine from Quake 2 to Xash 3D since its more advanced and its compatible with Quake 1(Maybe Quake 2 - IDK) and GoldSource engine.

It has advanced features and graphics comparable to Source engine, It even supports some simple physics. I saw it on some youtube video, I wish you guys contact Xash 3D dev team and I think they will gladly help you since they are modders...

List of features (from a kinda outdated build, there is an post about update...)

(about build 2153 = latest build since near end of 2012)

I think it can be compatible with your AI and scripts mostly. The conversion could be rather simple and may slightly slower development of UFO:AI if you decide to convert it but it may result in smoother development since graphically you wont be limited.

Since it what it can do, I think its well optimized. Think about it.

It doesn't really work like that. There are pages of posts you can find on this topic, so I'll close this thread.
