Please do not take the text above as shouting
-----------------
Welcome to this thread , I will explain all the differences with x10 , including all the graphical changes.
Click here if you wish to know what the specs are
-----------------
Graphical changes with X10
You will notice loads of new changes to the graphics , here is a list :
1) New shaders
Walls can now reflect the light sources , you now get lighting effects on your weapons aswell
1.1) Relief mapping
This is a new shader that doesnt seem to work on static entities or segments , I think this is a fix for dynamic lighting
2) New GUI
You will see a new GUI such as huds , a nice menu for changing graphical effects and so on ...
3) Realistic water shaders
You dont get realtime 3d water but you do get a real-time water effect , you dont get any refraction under water just like you do in reality (No wobbling effects underwater)
4) Soft shadows
You now have soft stencil shadows , The projection on segments and entities has been removed when it was finally released though
Test mode menu options
In the new menu you can now control your games effects with this menu , you can also control them with scripts :
Skybox changing ingame
Ambiance Control Meter
Fog Color (Out and in water adjustable)
Fog Range (Out and in water adjustable)
Bloom (Out and in water adjustable)
Bloom size (Out and in water adjustable)
Water height
Water smoothness
Water speed
Water Fresnel
Water color
Shadow strength
Shadow amount
Underwater Color
Window refraction (Refraction texture can be changed in the map editor)
5 Different sound source volume controllers
Other cool stuff
Ragdoll (Only with Mature patches )
New segments
2 new markers
New entities and 1 new weapon
Faster Light map building
GPU instancing
Texture arrays (Change textures of anything to do with stock media)
And mabe some others things I missed.
You can now have your AI as a friend , Enemy or a neutral
> Neutral doesn't do anything , just wonders around unless you remove all there actions and assign them to a waypoint. Friends and enemies cant be don't for some very very odd reson
Models compatibility
Stock media
All of models packs (With 1.09 patch)
Everything else (You may have to tweak these though)
Crashes
You dont normally get crashes anymore unless its a model thats now x10 compatible and needs tweaking or mabe just cause your pc cant handle your map. It sometimes crashes when saving and optimising universe
so always save your project before testing
Not so good things
Enemy and Friends cant be assigned to a waypoint
You will lag more if your motherboard isnt a dualcore or quadcore
Nothing else to add to that
-----------------
I hope I helped all of you who want more info or want to buy x10.
If you didnt find this usefull then just say (Dont say if you already have a x10 experience and know all the new things in x10)
