Staticnomad	Question, what is the best engine for beginners? More specifically, if someone with fundamental understanding of modeling, texturing, animation and programming decides to make a mod, what would be the best engine to learn some basic modding skills? Thanks in advance

Sajt	Yeah, go with Quake. It's very simple (although after you're progressing, it can be as complex as you want it to be ) --

Excuse me, but I always contribute to the conversation and hardly ever go off-topic. Not to mention, I contribute more to my post than just a plain one-liner. I may post a lot, but I'm not a spammer along the terms you guys set, but whatever... Irony at its finest.

ambershee Nimbusfish Rawks	Lol, I don't think he's familiar with C++ just yet, although he could be ^_^. I'd personally recommend anything from the Quake Series (minus Q4) as they're all very well documented and use an extremely simple derivitive form of the regular C language.
