Basically no!

Alright, keep your nickers on...

UT/Q3/HL rely on gravity. Descent doesn't, but there's no code.

Torque seems your best bet, but you'll have to do the PF yourself --seems fair since it's your thesis!

OK i will post to the other group.

Thanks for the reply, but could you explain what you mean by torque being my best bet? And what is PF?

Are you basically saying i could do it but it would require a fair bit of work, modifying code and stuff, but it's doable in about a year or so?

heh

PF = path finding

Torque's source is entirely available, and works outdoors. Easily possible in a year...

And don't crosspost!

ok

Ok so if i use Torque/Tribes 2 i would want to do more than just have unlimited jump jet fuel, do you think i could modify the physics to make the flying feel more like, say, a helicopter or superman or whatever?

I.e. the player hovers (keeps level without falling) by default rather than having to flick jump jets on/off to keep level because i imagine that would become very difficult and distracting for a level where you're permanently in the air.

I was also thinking, PF/combatAI in the air would not be much different from PF/combatAI in water right. So do common engines have complex PF/combatAI implemented for when bots are in the water? I think UT had some underwater levels but i can't remember how smart bots were in them, or whether they went into the water at all.
