- 09:57, 15 July 2023 Release Notes for Version 1.5 (hist | edit) [8,029 bytes] Eric Lengyel (talk | contribs) (Created page with "__NOTOC__ '''Release date:''' December 27, 2008 * A new voxel terrain system has been added to the engine, along with several terrain editing tools in the World Editor. More information about these can be found in the Editing Terrain article. Support for the old terrain geometry has been removed from the engine, so any old terrain in existing worlds will disappear when opened in the new version of the engine. To preserve the old terrain, select it in the editor unde...")

In a multiplayer game, audio can be captured on each player's machine, compressed using a variable bit-rate algorithm, and distributed through the server to the other players in the game. In the demo game, there are options for enabling or disabling sending and receiving of voice chat, and there's a volume control for received v...")

No distinction is made between glow and bloom during post-processing, but the two effects are created by different parts of the shading equations. Glow comes from the emission component's alpha channel, and bloom is determined by the intensity of the specular component. Glow and bloom are enabled on a per-material basis, and each ha...")

More important than the number of features, though, is the fact that every single feature is available on all platforms and with all sound hardware. The engine no longer contains any support for vendor-specific libraries like EAX and instead uses a custom multi-threaded software audio renderer. This gets rid of all the hea...")
