Hi,

I want to create a first person shooter using Irrlicht and Gnet.

Can i use special effects like bumpmaping and shaders on a .bsp map or do i need to use models?

How many players can gnet support?
Is Gnet fast enough for a shooter?

Thx

I would not recommend it (I would use RakNet or BNetEx over Gnet any day).

Are you using gman's Irrlicht module?
That question would probably get a faster response here: http://www.gprogs.com/

I picked Gnet because it looks easy to use.
The only experience that i have is with BlitzPlay, wich one is easy to use?

I'm going with Raknet, its easy to use and has examples that i understand.

Thx for the help Plash ;)
