are the Vehiclescustamisable?
sorry wrong tab!
wow , I am loving the progression of this tool, it's gone from this boring blocky tool thing to this. WONDERFUL!
very impressed well done. who would have thought after seeing your first alpha it'd come this far :D
This looks really good. I think I shall have to give it a go and see what it is like. I do like the idea that it is something aimed at kids and adults.
Can you make hl2 maps for it? xD.
im fine with you moding the cube2 game to make it appeal to more people but the fact that you are not clearly crediting the cube2 game or its creators and seem to be claiming there work for your own is not acceptable
Why don't you try loading up the game before you accuse anybody of anything? Your comments are extremely off base and inappropriate. In addition to our splash screen saying that Sandbox is based off the Cube 2 engine it is mentioned in our menu, readme, license, etc. Many of the cube 2 community works with us, including the main coder. He hangs out in our developer chatroom daily. So before you make such a drastic accusation again I ask that you please get your facts straight and not try to debase other people's work just because you are having a bad day or whatever the illogical reason was. Thanks.

the reason i was raging on you was that under the Engine section you have listed it as "custom build" and not cube 2 and on top of that a lot of your preliminary screen shots seemed to be demonstrating features already implemented in cube 2 in a way that implied you had created them. i had no way of knowing that you were working with the creators of cube which is a relief to me. all i was trying to do was avoid another firearms 2 fiasco
