Hi

Im trying out black ice mod V11 right now, and here are some of my thoughts about it

(subjective thoughts, as I didn't checked-out everything yet)
Good things:
1, I think optimization is better, I got more fps, and less random fps drops

I hope its not only matter of lower resolution
2, Damage Indicator Is GREAT! Its literal game changing feature, now player really feel who shoot him. Huge improvement, when we want some people to play our game, and they don't know all enemies positions by heart
3. New set of terrains is better than I thought
4, New set of skies also looks very good
5, Objective pointer also works great
6. That destructive animated wall looks super-good!

I feel like I got to redesign some levels to fit some of those in there
Neutral:
1. I see some differences in lighting, not sure if its better now, or was before - for me it's just different. But still good
2, I feel like enemies now have a lot better aim? I didn't changed anything on any of my levels, and I'm loosing health a lot quicker - But it's ok, I can rebalance that easily
3. Third person feature - Its's working, but I don't feel like someone could really use it in a game. It would need a lot of new animations (also for guns). Also I think that camera needs to be adjusted to have more over-the-shoulder look (like in gears of war) because now character is blocking the view, Overall I think that building TPS project in FpsC would be A LOT more work than its really worth.
4. Heads of enemies disappear after headshots. Don't know if its a bug or feature

Can I turn it off? It would look cool if these heads would fall off and roll around (or at least there was some big blood exlposion attached to it) but now it just looks like a bug
Bad things:
1, 1280x720 is quite low res, it would be very good if we could decide between this and 1080p, even for the price of lower fps. But, whatever, FpsC is no graphical killer anyway, so i can live with 720p
2. One of my levels is not loading - I'm talking about the map editor, not even test game
Screen:

Is there something i can do? Or I have to build it again from the start?
3, I have graphic (hud?) problem on one level. I took 3 screenshots of it:
4, New explosion effect. It looks sooo flat

Before we had few 2D planes with some smoke on them, and it looked bad, but now we have just one 2D plane with explosion on it, and it looks extremely flat!

To make things worse - this explosion appear in wrong places! For example: O got rolling barrel which explodes, but I see explosion sprite on the other side of the room, Sometimes, when barrel is next to the wall half of explosion effect is invisible, cuz it vanished in that wall (and that wasn't a problem before). And from far away It doesn't appear at all
5. Decals now happen to appear and disappear randomly right in front of me, which wasn't problem before.
