Hej,
Is is possible to create tunnels, or roads that goes over the other?
Is SSAO is possible for spring? A little thing could look like everything better.
I kinda imagine this whole sping project on like a UT3 engine level. Would be awesome. I think the source code is free now, or is it just the editor?
engine capabilities?

Re: engine capabilities?
1. Not really.
2. Dunno what SSAO means.
3. This is an RTS engine, not an FPS engine. That said, as an RTS engine, it is full of winsauce.
4. The sauce is GPL.
5. What editor?

SSAO is basicly ambient occlusion (to be exact screen space AO). I don't see that happening on an engine level for quite a while, but I think someone made a widget to do it? It's heavy on the gpu tho so it will slow your pc down a lot if you have an old card.

It is possible to have tunnels and roads going over eachother aka true 3D maps, HOWEVER, this would require several refactors and a new map format. QuadFields are where you would have to look and it would require C++ knowledge and engine patches.
Also the engine has no built in editor. Judging form this I can assume that little prior research was actually done on the most basic fundamentals of the engine.
In the meantime, there is nothing stopping you making UT3 style levels, so long as you bare in mind that the navigatable regions must be representable on a heightmap. Any other regions would be purely visual. To do this you would disable map rendering and render your own geometry instead.
