16 vs 32 bit

11-13-2000, 04:52 PM

Theres a lot of talk about using voxels for the build engine. That brought an interesting thought to me. I know someone took 8 bit Doom to 16 with some kind of patch a while back.Build is a 16bit graphic engine, can it be taken to 32? Just wondering.

Erm, voxels are used in build, and last time I checked it's a very definate 8 bit pallette...

Cyborg is right, Build games (like most dos games) use 8bit graphics.
The voxels are stored with 8bit aswell, and can have their own palettes. The size should be 128x128x256, but it is only 100x100x200 in reality (could be 120x120x200 or 110x110x200, well it is something strange anyway) in the kvx format unless someone feels like writing new utils for it.
