(As far as lump editors go, we don't even need much of anything special for those, and SLADE, which is pretty much the only editor people use, even has additions supporting us!) (I tried Hammer for a couple days long ago and basically got nothing built, while the first time I opened WadAuthor I had a functional map going within a couple of hours.)Īlso, as far as editors go while it's true ZB is the only up-to-date map editor that we've specifically edited to support all of our custom stuff, there's nothing we've done to the format that makes us incompatible with other editors, as long as someone writes a quick configuration file for the editor in question. Especially for mapping I know the Doom format has a lot of limitations, but on the other hand, it's incredibly easy for someone new to get into.

(Especially since 2.1, when we got a real scripting language and cool gameplay-changing mods increased 100-fold.) And a lot of the people making that content aren't super-interested in moving over to another set of tools. I'm not just talking about the vanilla game either we've only stuck around this long because of all of the cool addon shit that people make. The reason we haven't moved to any of those is, like I said, the RoI those engines don't have all of the stuff that we have built out yet, so there isn't really any interest in making for them compared to making for the SRB2 that's around now. (Those aren't targeted exclusively as engine replacements for us, mind, but I know they definitely tried to appeal to the interest of the modders here.) Hell, there are a lot of other 3D Sonic fangame engines that exist, and any one of them could be picked up and converted into SRB2 3.0 or whatever if we felt like doing that. It's not like people haven't tried, mind! I know Kalaron has an engine that he showed around here for a while, and then there's Wizard2 with its roly polies. It's a matter of return on investment a new engine gives us a ton of benefit but would take a massive amount of work, compared to staying where we are and adding new things to our current engine, which takes a lot less investment in exchange for always being limited in somewhat annoying ways.

The problem is that the people who are most interested in an engine port don't know how to code, and the people who are most willing to code for the game would rather spend time working on what we have now than move things over to a new project. Especially if it meant putting one room over another was no longer a gigantic clusterfuck of sector tags and control sectors and FOFs.

To be fair, moving to a new engine would be really cool.
