Those of you that haven't read the BK interview #1 with Kilgore yet should go do that now!

Here is a little excerpt that might be of interest to some:

Here are a few things you can expect from 1.10:

1. Server-side demos: it's already in testing at a few 'event' servers

2. True widescreen (16:9) mode (with higher FOV).

3. Bright skins option.

4. UT2k4-style double-jumping.

5. More work on Hexen: here are a few screenshots:

http://hs.keystone.gr/hx3.png

http://hs.keystone.gr/hx4.png

Note: (a) True widescreen (not stretched), (b) Hexen HUD (non-existent till now), (c) Hexen weapon, (d) Ice death.

6. A duel rating system (ELO or better).

7. Quite a few other things and bug fixes Smile


To prevent some confusion ... everything that changes gameplay (that includes true widescreen) is of course implemented as a DMFlag.

Some info about true widescreen support:

The normal 4:3 ratio view:


Widescreen 16:9 ratio view:


Now imagine you have an oldschool 4:3 monitor and you currently see this:


You join a widescreen enabled server and you want to play competitively (thus, have the same FOV as your enemy) ... you would 'theoretically' end up with this:


Fear not! Letterboxing to the rescue!
Black bars on top and bottom allow 4:3 monitor users to play competitively against widescreen users without some strangely distorted ingame view like we saw above!

I am bit worrying of that screen changes (i think it's good now) i hope we dont end like zandro does with this :

(original 1080p)

Also not sure about uncapped fps option (dmflag?) cuz someone says yes its gonna be in 1.10 (but someone act's like "lol nnope").

Sum developer told (bad memory for names darn xD) that there's gonna be GPU acceleration and some improvements to rendering, (also 32 color depth unlock?)

i know that there is needed a lot of other work but i wondering most about this so may tell someone sumthing more,,,?

Not sure what you mean by too tight; whenever you increase the FOV (which is what will happen), you get that sort of effect; it's not some bug and it's not something the engine can avoid; it's just a normal consequence of using a wider FOV; check how wide-angle lenses work in photography and you'll understand it.

Then about the missing sprites: how can the engine fill in something that is not there (the missing part of the sprite in your example)? The only right way out of that problem is for mappers to replace old graphics with new ones (that they will make). There is nothing the engine can do about that.

In this thread we're letting you know what to expect in 1.10; when you see us announce uncapped FPS, you can expect it; otherwise, no. The same applies to all other rumours you heard.

Why am I seeing this topic only now!? Saw the Hexen pics on IRC once (ty KG) and was rather titillated. But put it all together this is strong news indeed!

If you use a 4:3 monitor and fill the screen, the sides get chopped off and you can't even read text?
