Hi,<br><br>I am very impressed with Vavoom. In fact I am going to be switching from the Doomsday engine to it, because I am so impressed with it. Unfortunately the idea of the Korax Mod being switched over to Vavoom looks bleak (from what I hear) which really disappoints me, but regardless Vavoom is just so much better in the departments that I want than the Doomsday engine that it makes up for it.<br><br>The only things I really, *really* miss about the Doomsday engine is - <br><br>1. Lense Flares. They just make my jaw drop every time I see lense flares. They make the game look so much better.<br><br>2. Full View info. Heretic and Hexen desperately need the mana, inventory, armor and whatever else drawn while having the status bar maximized.<br><br>3. KMod guys get to work on the Vavoom port of KMod!!<br><br>hehe<br><br>Very impressed gamer,<br><br>Zeus

The only glaring issue with Vavoom is a complete lack of multiplayer save/load game support. Put this at the top of the list.  :-/<br><br>- Zeus

Yep, MP save/load would have to be implemented for a KMOD coop. Until it's finished, releasing a Vavoom-based KMOD wouldn't really be worth the effort. The good news is that for our multiplayer only Vavoom project, Korax Arena, there is no need for save/load (who wants to save deathmatch, team deathmatch, CTF etc.?).

MP save in client/server is a quite complex task and at the moment I don't have ideas on how to this fast and easy.<br><br>Lens-flares: persomally I don't like them much.<br><br>Additional stats in Hexen isn't aproblem.

As for lens flares, I agree, they aren't that cool IMO.

OK, I'll try.

See zeus? That's what I mean with good developer support. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Does this mean what I think it means. (KMod 3)

Yep... if Vavoom has working save/load for MP by late Summer, chances are good for a KMOD 3 for Xmas. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

I respect the fact that you do not like lens flares. There are many players who do. I'm asking you to make the game more enjoyable for me. I simply love looking around the room and seeing many torches burning with what feels like real light.<br><br>Graphically speaking, the only thing that JHexen has on Vavoom is the lens flares. I'm not sure why but they make the game feel so much more real.<br><br>Of course in the end everything rests on your shoulders, I am utterly helpless when it comes to putting lens flares in the game. Without your help, I'm totally out of luck. Thanks for your time.<br><br>- Zeus<br><br>PS I checked out Vavoom while using Doom II. Man, it is just incredible. I am totally in love with this engine.

Heh, I'm not too big a fan of lens flares any more either. Although, Legacy/Unreal style coronas would be nice, especially placeable ones <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

Yep, coronas are nice and I think they are prety easy to implement.
