EFX makes x10 look like x10 yes, specially with the v2 version

But the thing is it will never be as good cause the shaders are not the same and x10 uses dark basic pro x10 so its got alot more options for graphics

That's confusing... EFX makes X9 look like x10. Also, x10 performs better without relying on the CPU, it renders through the GPU.

You said EFX makes X10 look like X10, which I found humorous because of its obsurdity. Then I explained how X10 performs better because it makes better usage of the computer's hardware. Just realized that I said "better on better" in other post, which makes no sense.

At this point, X9 with EFX mod is probably better than X10 simply because it uses X9 and X9 is far more stable and polished. If X10 were brought up to snuff and were half as polished as X9, there'd be no question about it

Plus X9 is open source, so a lot more work can be done to it.

It does, I never said that it was not worth having, I just said that X9 gets better support.

It's not that X10 isn't worth anything, it is. It's just that TGC is paying X9 so much attention than X10 that you're better off getting X9; it's less expensive and more reliable and TGC is actually releasing updates for it (It's been like 10 months since it was promised that X10 would get just the store, let alone fixes for all the bugs it still has 2 years after release).
In my opinion though you'd be better off saving your money entirely and go with the Unity Engine or UDK because both are much better and powerful and both are free (and they used to be really expensive; Unity was at $200 and UDK/Unreal 3 was..well yeah).

FPSC X9 with EFX is graphically better than X10.

X10 could have been great but they cut and trimmed all the best features shown in the tech demo and have a ton of bugs which have never been fixed since release.

One of the biggest problems with X10 is the fact it has a closed shader pipeline meaning you get nice 'out of the box' effects but its not designed to accomodate custom shader effects per entity which is actually very limiting once you get past the initial wow factor.

jingle fet hit the nail on the head, and this will most likely be the last post I make on these forums. No reason to use this or x10 when unity and unreal are now free to try, and you only have to pay when you make money.

Also those engines are FAR easier to import your own objects (characters/guns/objects) than x10 especially.

I just hope the next update for FPSC x10 is huge and fixes a lot of stuff as well as add a lot of stuff like Team death match... ecttt... Lets face it, why have this good tech if you are not going to apply some cool stuff to it. FPSC x10 has so much potential. Or... just release the source code and let us get to work >.<

i hope that x10 will be an open source, but it might never happen.

The source code for X10 won't be released until TGC release DBPro X10 otherwise nobody will be able to compile it.

The only thing thats been promised in v1.10 is store integration so there will have to be some BIG surprises in the new update to give X10 a chance of being competitive.

X9 is wiping the floor with X10 at the moment and I can't see X10 making a come back anytime soon.

Yea it's to true, and really sad for the people who bought it (including me) the real reason I wanted to get it was because crysis ran dx10. It was beautiful. Direct x10 is supposed to be more powerful and graphically beautiful. In this case, Dx 9 is still is destroying x10.

It isn't DirectX that is better, it is the support of the system. With more support, X10 could make some great games, close to the quality of many commercial games.

I couldt say x10 comes close to something like COD or Crysis but is still pretty good. Although UDK is the same quality as you'd expect in a commercial game and is free

With Metro Theatre's all teh stuff and with all the mods it makes x9 better. x9 gets better support after all. Horror Mod. Character mutation, haven't seen this in x10, headshot wiht head blowing off, haven't seen this eather and many more. Fenix Mod, Dark A.I, wich makes enemies very smart AND allows x9 to have great and smart allies too. And it's about to have water effects too! EFX mod. Bloom, Water and all that stuff, that makes x9 look x10. But there is one thing that x10 has, but x9 doesen't and it's ragdoll. But maby that will be achieved in x9 sooner or later

That's my 2 cents! Don't take them they're mine! Give them back!

yeah, x10 ragdoll is kinda sucky, you can shoot someone in the head and they just collapes ! Wouldnt they go flying backward or something ?

Look at COD4 and MW2 for proper ragdoll physics

Well, you can make them go flying by changing the impact force on the gun specs, but I think that the ragdoll collision and physics should be better.

Yeah ragdoll is one of only a few features present in X10 which hasn't either been replicated or done better in X9. It can be made to work ok when increasing a weapons physics force but could definately be improved.

X9 on the other hand has lots of features not present in X10 both in the official updates and the mods which far outweigh ragdoll.

Most people using both X9 and X10 have found the X10 framework to be quite inaccessible compared with X9 and most of the 'improved' features are either quite restricted or offer limited scope for customisation.

Its been over 6 months since any updates came out for X10 so if the v1.10 beta about to come out doesn't deliver some big things I think its all over for X10.

i agree with nomad soul. they need to look at x10s future till the migration. x9 as been given lots of fuss, they are onto it now the v1.10 which is ok but a store integration is not the most exciting thing really, i mean its practical and all. but we, well i have bought many items from the store and corrected any problems. mainly dds conversion. end of, so would be nice to get faster loading, maybe they could give us a weather system or something exciting or even a few more particle things anything really.

Q. what did tgc cut out of x10 that was in the demo?

but then looking at the big picture, we all get the migration, if we demand less then the migration may speed up and be with us sooner. and so for now get just practical errors and bugs fixed.

an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of game creation!!!
