Yea, it supports HDR. I would like to have a site setup for it, I've been discussing it with some testers for some time. It's pretty close to the time to get this setup as well, got likely a month or two more of work and it'd have all the base features needed to make most game types. I could always use some help though, if there are experience web guys willing to do so.

if I knew openGL I would help with the engine and adding new stuff that would just come to be, like the fire and water with shader 3.0.

At this moment Rob uses DirectX :p
Let's take some votes to make him translate OMF:BG to OpenGL? Very Happy

Linux users will have the ability (perhaps...) of playing it natively :p

He used to use opengl but he switched over to directx in the early beta stages. He might still has the opengl module or something. But I doubt it would still work :tongue2:

Cool, I'll have to figure out when I want to kick it off, but I was planning on building the site just with a template from templatemonster.com and keeping it as simple as possible. I'd also like one of those wikkis (or however you spell it) set up but I have no experience with any of that, and really don't want any Smile

.

As far as the renderer, I have no interest in OpenGL, but it'd certainly be possible to write an OpenGL renderer. The old OpenGL stuff was poorly written and wouldn't do much good. Personally I do not believe the cross platform benifit is worth the effort it'd take, I think time is better spent on other things. Currently Direct3d is more powerful and easier to use, and the level of support it's getting almost assures that it will only get stronger.

yhea if he wants to make his engine sell he would need some "[color="white"]Razzle dazzle[/color]" openGL effects. Like the fire and watter effects I just showed on another post. Also it would be nice to see Non-power-of-2 mipmapping http://developer.nvidia.com/object/np2_mipmapping.html.
unless it's well really hard to get the mipmapping to work, then I don't care about that.
