Oh no, I'm all for cutting corners on MS:C's graphics to expedite new stuff - but our core code is done (even if it is, somewhat problematic). Just sayinâ, no point in cutting said corners in MS:S, as it won't expedite anything atm.

Besides the Mastersword world would be the same, I just meant more of a flat-shaded/textured look. Which in some ways could make it much easier to make the textures.
For instance you can make a simple brick texture using a whopping 2 colors. Then just by adding some Bump-mapping (Takes about oh say 2 seconds, on a simple texture) you have a high contract texture that is vibrant is with a decent amount of detail especially when you apply proper lighting to it.

Granted it's a absurdly simple example. But HL2 has a lot more rendering power and it can do a LOT with something simple. And used properly can make for something eye catching that isn't mistaken for a Dark Messiah rip-off. Granted I'm not even scratching the surface of what HL2 can do in comparison to HL1 with textures.
The first impression a majority of people get of a mod is from pictures. If it looks like something, or even everything else then how do you attract new people when everything else looks just like it.
If this is some kind of joke, you really ****ing fail. :?The Man In Black said:
Although i never played DM, i liked the idea from when i played thief 2. As such i have made one for my mod, and surprised myself of how well it worked with practically no debugging (which is always asome).Tirex said:
