  I was trying to be pretty open-minded.  I wasn't attacking you or

anything.  I said "as you seem to be suggesting."  I didn't say that you

were demanding the engine to be your way, just that you came across as

sounding that way.  If that makes sense.  =)  I know (at least as well as

anyone on here) who you are and why you're asking for what you're asking.  I

agree with you -- these would be great options and I think we should do what

we can to help these options get implemented.  But as options.  You keep

(probably unintentionally) suggesting that what you want in an engine is

what everyone should want


  In short, you think that your engine is the best idea out there and your

suggestions reflect that.  =)

FIRST: No offense was taken.

Actually, I don't. I'm planning several scenarios, some of which will be 
simple, almost like the original Marathon. The others, well, complex. I 
didn't intend to make it seem like I think everyone should be happy with my 
suggestions, and I made that clear when I say "I don't care of your scenario 
is a Roadrunner cartoon, I just want mine to be REALISTIC." I guess I have 
come out the wrong way, since I get so many irate C-mails (C-mail = Crap 
Mail) from complete idiots that would like to have my head delivered to them 
on a silver platter. I'm really getting fed up with it, since most people 
aren't like you and want me dead just because I want something in my scenario 
that they don't want in theirs. I just don't know what the crap people think 
is wrong with just having options, just because they aren't going to use 
them...
