Fredrik Posted May 22, 2002 From Gamespy's article One of the more interesting technical innovations we saw is a new GUI system that allows for Flash-like animation on any surface, and can be completely interactive. Unlike most current games, where a keypad or switch might be portrayed with a few simple textures, these items can now be presented with much more detail.Anyone realize what that means? It means you can have completely interactive textures, yeah, and not only simple switches! Remember they (don't remember who - Carmack?) said that they were "looking for new ways for the player to interact". Go figure. This could mean that you may use actual computers with GUIs in the game... in all seriousness. They could create a fake UAC OS :] Perhaps I am speculating too far, but it's still an interesting thought. And hey, consider that DOOM 3 will have an advanced scripting system - it might be possible to port DOOM to DOOM3! 0 Share this post Link to post

Tetzlaff Posted May 25, 2002 Here´s something I found particularly interesting: Seems like the new engine is able to build large terrain environments as well. If the intro sequence of the demo shows a Mars landscape with a city structure, like it was described. Maybe Lüt could tell a bit more about that? Was it the view of a larger landscape in the beginning? 0 Share this post Link to post

Fredrik Posted May 25, 2002 For those of you who don't know, SoM_OS is an operating system being made by SoM. It is supposedly going to be optimized for DOOM editing/playing. 0 Share this post Link to post
