I bring thee not simple rearrangements, but a whole new world of possibilities,,,

Alright so some under the hood changes today:

- Unified all 3d stuff to floats. I had a sort of half and half mix of floats and doubles and I was constantly casting between them. Now 100% floats. This was suggested by someone who knows a lot more about game engines than me.

- Tag reading has been unified. I'm going to make all tags use the same syntax loosely based on JSON (thanks flibit for the suggestion :P)

- The shader scalar system has been opened up and you can now have up to 27 scalar floats fed into a shader This will allows you to do whatever the fuck you want with that. Shader scalars are like the A OUT, B OUT stuff in halo tags. You can give a shader a float and it'll use it in rendering. Common uses would be turning on and off lights on a warthog or making tire treads spin based on the warthogs speed, or making numbers on an ammo counter move. ETC ETC ETC ETC

So I've put in quite a bit of work writing a new tagging system. I've got a lot more work to do but I've got the new .bsp, and new .scenario files working on this.

These are not commented or documented yet but here are the new tags for hangemhigh. Tell me what you guys think. Ethan suggested JSON to me so I took a lot of inspiration from that. I feel like it's more readable and more understandable than the old system.

scenario tag
bsp tag

Well, it almost looks like a full game... (video's included). I hope you're still working on it or are ya just takin a break. and i've been following your project for quite a while, i believe in ya bro... and the tags and the script look pretty straight forward to me, i like it! the script looks just like halo's would <3

I'm posting here because that's a piss poor last post for a thread to die on.

How's it going?
