Just had to make a special shout out post to some friends of mine who have been working really hard on this.

This is imo, the most innovative FOSS engine out there, can we say coop multiplayer level editing with realtime global illumination? yes we can.

I've always thought we should get a polycount server that runs this to see what people can come up with level design wise for this amazing engine.

No way booleans inside a game engine :poly101:

Lovely stuff, thanks for the post !

cheers

Looks amazing

Eric Chadwick

Cool stuff. Live CSG plus deferred rendering, looks like fun to edit!

Yea, I found this last year and made a video for it:

Awwww shit, that's right! this could be like minecraft for FPS...

planaria

we should try to organize a polycount server,

im going to start running a server myself.. but i think the possibility for cooperative art creation is just through the roof.

would be a really amazing way to showcase everyone's talent here

Ged

wow that would be exciting! I hope its as easy as it looks in the video

Greg DAlessandro

I would love to co-op create with people.

Edit: Is it possible to have multiple people edit at once?

planaria

yes it definitely is.

there are some features that are singleplayer only, NAMELY heightmap editing but basically everything else is multiplayer accessible

wow. this is pretty crazy.never tried in sauerbraten but just found you can edit the map while bots are playing.bots running around shooting each other, oh hey now there's a giant pit in your way how you going to deal with that mr bot. pretty well it seems not bad at all.

Ged

Tried it last night and wow this is awesome! Id love to go on a persistent polycount server and create an epic deathmatch map!

Bal

I used to do some coop editing with Sauerbraten back in the day, was really fun. This new version looks pretty cool.

katana

Impressive.

Ged :

7rnx.net <-- my personal tess server.. its up atm im still learning to configure it properly once i do ill start up a new map and people can just have at it

planaria

ok server is working, i say the first deathmatch level project should be to see how dense of a 3d cube maze we can make with the default world size

Eric Chadwick

Hmm, well, thanks for kicking me. In the middle of editing.

Eric Chadwick

Hmm, apparently "/connect 7rnx.net" connects to someone else's server. Is there another way to connect to yours?

planaria

Eric, apologies i dont believe that the admin is set yet, so its a free for all. ill change that now.

recently did some coop editing with a lot of people and it turned out really really well, we all managed to come together to make something semi interesting and actually fun to run around and deathmatch in. so much potential !

planaria

also i am not always on the server, sometimes there are retards on it. if it becomes too much of a problem. let me know and ill just post a password here on polycount, hopefully that will keep the griefers at bay.

Eric Chadwick

Hmm, yeah, someone is kicking/banning IPs. Oh well, I'll try again some other time. Let us know when it's a bit more stable.

planaria

Some insights :

Super Important to get a blockout made before other people enter. If not the level will turn into just a bunch of people doing random crap.

After that, make some detail work somewhere that people can easily copy/paste/transform.

Still getting the server stable, for some reason i cant get serverpass to work properly yet. once i do i may try to pw protect the server for specific build polycount build times.

Eric, sorry you got banned, that night there was a ton of griefers. Apologies for you getting stuck in the collateral damage.
