The short answer is yes. Also you get a full x9 license with x10. With either engine you are going to have to work to make it worth your time/money. Don't take that the wrong way; I'm not making any assumptions. 100s of people read these threads who don't post and general advice is sometimes good advice.
The best and most succinct of the x10 v x9 "argument" was written by science boy. So, I'll post it here:
Quote: "
sick of this debate and the wars it brings.
X9 HAS A LOT OF USERS AND HAS A NICE ARRAY OF MODELS AND AI.
X9 HAS A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM TGC AND MOD MAKERS.
X9 DOES HAVE A LOT OF GREAT AND WONDERFUL FEATURES.LIKE LIP SYNC,PARTICLE MAKER,ADVANCED AI,WHICH X10 DOES NOT HAVE.
X9 CAN RUN ON LOWER SPEC COMPUTERS MAKING IT MORE UNIVERSAL AND NOT WORRYING ON THE GPU TO RUN IT.
THIS IS FACTUAL. HOW DO I KNOW, I USE IT. I HAVE IT
X10 HAS NEWER SHADERS PS4 SO IT DOES HAVE NICER GRAPHICS,
ALSO NOTE X9 USES 512 X 512 TEXTURE SIZES X10 USES 1024 X 1024
HENCE MORE DETAIL DRAWN AND FOR BETTER GRAPHICS, FACT.(OR WAS)
X10 HAS INSTANCING MEANING YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE ENEMY SCATTERED ABOUT (without ever worrying of performance).
X10 USES MULTI CORE THREADING MAKING FOR A FASTER ENGINE.
X10 CAN USE MOST MODEL PACKS AND ALL HAVE BEEN CONVERTED
HOW DO I KNOW THIS, I HAVE IT AND HAVE DONE IT.
X10s BEST FEATURE TO ME IS THE ON SCREEN EDITOR IN GAME. life is so mush easier.
and x10 has MYSTIC MOD now and is adding many new things
it has fixed many bugs and has variable systems,cam shake, and new ai also.
both engines can use the same media so there is no cant have from either side, x9 will run 1024 textures but cut down to 512, x10 run 512. both now in dds format so no problem there, the main issues are the scripts, and if you know how to script then work arounds are done.
in the end x10 is kept alive and x9 is thriving both are good and make for fun and challenging ideas
NOT A FLAME WAR A FACT MAIL, LOOKING FROM BOTHS PERSPECTIVE.
