Altiris:
Found this, porting over the game shouldn't be too hard. For .CS files (which are what addons use) the structures/paths have to be updated and its fairly simple to do. Some.CS files for things like Players and Weapons etc have been moved.

Altiris, you don't know what you're talking about.
The entire engine has been heavily modified, it's not as simple as copy and pasting stuff over, the entire base of Blockland would most likely have to be re-written.
That's the equivalent of making a new game time-wise.

I do agree I don't know what I am talking about (ive never worked with game engines before but considering the post from a guy who barely works with torque I thought it shouldnt be too hard for Badspot to do it). I understand the engine has been heavily modified but you need to be more specific, things could have just been added into the game such as the physics (which uses bullet physics and is compatible with T3D), I doubt by heavily modified they mean they literally changed all of the roots of the engine to something they coded from scratch - I still think the roots or whatever are still TGE.
Edit: I dont even know anymore, maybe Im just saying this so my hopes keep up or something that T3D has a bigger gain than our current engine or something.

would the graphics change or anything? what would make a difference?
