Thanks for replay.

A new release will be posted soon.
The source code will be avaliable to download
when we have a stable code.

Thats the main diference in the new release:

- The entire file system will be converted to a plugin system. In that way,
we can easy load
files in any format. (PK3, 3DS, OBJ, etc, etc, etc)

The only thing to do is write a custom plugin to read the desired file format
and the engine will deal with smoothly.

- The main render driver will be converted to a plugin to. (Same reason as VFS).
So, writes a D3D driver will be quite easy.

- SkyBoxes.

- Better Bezier Patches.

- High abstraction in the main code.

- Port to XBOX ?
- Port to LINUX ?
- Post to PS2 ?

it's quiet very well announce :)
system plugin is a really good thing , and port to other system like linux will
be less diffivult with this
but is performance will be touch by this way ?
( see crystal space by plugin the performance decrease some way ??? )
you could perhaps by this system plugin make ap lugin for all system shader
and then add new effect shader or implement some high level plugin programmable
shader ( in opengl or dx8, i mean vertex shader or pixel shader :) ), i know
that bart sekura have converted q3 a shader system in dx8 shader in becoming
book on dx8 shader programming, like a plugin system for terrain rendering and
then test some different terrain rendering tech ....
but in first coll det and character player loading seems for me the priority
for a base to a really good 3d engine and then add some new improvment :)

A3D is not a plugin based engine.

Only some key modules will be plugins.
For example: VFS, Renders and shaders.

I think OS independance must be done at compile time and not at runtime, so
OS plugins are really out of question.

About poor performance, you´re write but, 
a) Don´t compare CS with A3D, they are different,
   they have distinct concepts.

b) It causes very, very little overhead. I´m satisfied with actual plugins
system.

Col Det and Objects will be added. Be pacient.
I have a step by step order to make the things, OK ? if not..., I´m fucked. :)

I like your idea about plugins for shaders.
It´s really a good idea. Thanks.

hi,
fortunately A3d isn't a plugin base engine :)
i don't want to compare A3d with CS , there are totally different ! and i like
much more your project :)
apologize me :) i'm a newbie in programming, and i don't realize very well how
much work you do, and as i collect all around , all engine stuff around q3 features,
and when i found a new one i'm as a kid discovered a new toy at christmas :)
so excuse me for my impatience :)
i know that in programming i couldn't help you much but i could found some technical
stuff, like shaders or whatelse ....
idea to isolate in plugin some specific engine feature is a really great idea
!!!!
promis! i will be more patient :)
