Why don't you guys move the mod to Half life 2 or unreal tournament 3. I know it's hard to do but your model limits will be less and there is more portentional in these games.

Wouldn't make any sense to change engines at this point.

ESF lives and dies on HL1.

And with only 1 release left that will stay true. For the next project however we will probably use a newer engine.

Unreal 2 (or whatever UT2004 is based on) engine FTW since out-of-date PCs can handle it.

I dunno, I think the ESF TEAM has worked some impressive voodoo magic into the Halflife source code, to transform old Halflife into something much greater.
This MOD is barely recognizable as a Halflife game anymore. In fact I'd even go so far as to say its no longer a MOD, but a Total Conversion. :yes::yes:

Upgrading to a better engine would mean they would have to start from scratch, they would have to do all the models, animations, coding, sounds, fx, maps and everything all over again.
Not only that, but then the team would have to learn how to work with the new engine. So no, that's never gonna happen. ESF lives and dies on the HALFLIFE 1 ENGINE.

John the inteams are all debug versions. FPS will be better in the final release when all the stuff is cleaned up.

But yea the standard of "If you can run HL you can run this" is over im afraid. HL just aint enough anymore.

Is this a "If you can run HL you can run this on low" or is it a "If you can run HL you can run this no problem"?

Good thing that I care more about the gameplay. It's OK for me to play with lowest graphics, just so that the performance would fit my needs.

I wonder by how much FPS is lower in ESF: Final with lowest graphics than ESF 1.2.3.

Neither actually.
As Grega said HL isn't enough anymore.

The amount of work thats gone into 1.3 means that its almost a new engine anyway.
