At least that's how i read it. If he seriously was saying what you interpreted it as then >< d'oh. Quote: Originally Posted by likwidtek Sigh.

In fact you are so damn wrong simply because OP is having smaller delta to correct answer from you; Hero engine at state where EA/BW took it was in horrible state and they didn't improve it very much further. So, from development point of view it was work done very poorly. Kisses, your Mwanga Btwanga.

Indeed! not ALL do it, just a few of us Ah gotcha. :x But we can tell the difference between a well written engine and a poorly written engine. At least those of us that have played quite a few MMOs.

It doesn't matter how well written it is. BW got the engine when it was still in development, they can modify it however they want. Unless we had direct access to the source code we would never be able to tell how much BW put into the game engine. For all we know they could have signed the contract then threw out entire sections of the engine to rewrite them.

Kisses, your Mwanga Btwanga. i do wonder how you can say they not worked on it to improve it much, if you do not know by how much they worked on it. do you some how have a copy of the basic coding they got then compaired it to the current coding ? if so how you get it, hacked it, stole it ? seem to me unless you in BW programer pool you really not going to know what they done to the orginal engine at all.

Actually since they are using only a fraction of what the ORIGINAL game engine infrastructure is, it's hardly the hero engine anymore. Once again, why do people insist on speculating over something they clearly know nothing about. Posting a link to wikipedia doesn't mean you've learned all there is to know about coding an engine, or how that engine interacts with the rest of the software code.
If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

You don't have to be an expert to have a discussion about video game engines. The difference here is some people want to have a real discussion, and others want to act like they know it all. Explain the knowledge you have or at least offer some perspective. When I judge the game I'm looking at what they built into the engine, not the basic tool set. Using my eyes and hands, I'm really impressed by the game they made.
