I'm pretty sure oasiz knows the importance of it. I think he meant "it's just a screenshot" in the sense that there's no other material with it.

It's funny to read that, because for the most part, it's talking about various features of EDuke32 modding that have been implemented in various mods for many years, whlle making it sound like they were developed specifically for Ion Maiden. Some of the things I actually learned from the Ion Maiden guys like 10 years ago, and they were already using them in their projects. I guess for promotional purposes it sounds better to imply it's all new; the average person who hasn't played a Build game in 20 years won't know the difference.

EDIT: I should point out that some things have only been possible to do recently, and some things can be implemented better now than in the old days. Headshots for example: now that we have tiledata acces in CON (added a few years back) you can calculate the height of a headshot on a specific enemy without resorting to hardcoded numbers.

3D Realms is one of those companies that can type up five or six pages of shit and say nothing.

The article is definitely saying something, it's just funny if you know more about the context -- Mblackwell writing about "new" IM features that he's had in his own EDuke32 projects going back 10 or 12 years :)

Most of the stuff was written by me, I picked the topics and mblackwell filled in many technical bits. 3DR itself has no say in the content really, just to clarify this.

If you have modded for eduke for years then a lot of the stuff will probably be familiar indeed. Everything that is there can more or less be done by anyone, and a lot has been done over the years.
I would say a major difference is that we started all CON from scratch, also replacing some stock functions with redone versions. Meaning we could approach some issues with less worry about legacy compatibility. Quite a bit of work goes there.
One goal with these blogs aside from the obvious extra exposure is to introduce some of the features and challenges of using an older engine choice to more of the general public and i think it works pretty well for that.

Most of all, these get done as a labor of love and was something we suggested to do. Having worked on this since 2015(four years soon), its become quite a dear project and we have quite a bit to say :)
Regarding length,
You should have seen the 3d blog entry befoere i started trimming it.
Also I would be awful in politics.

I've seen the blog on Steam, a while ago. All I want to say: Many thanks for all Voidpoint's hard work to make this IM work in Build/EDuke32 :)

Merry Christmas; and a very, very, very happy 2019 :(

Someone who knows how Build works inside out isn't the target audiance for this article though. I didn't write this but I believe part of the point was also to say "all these things you've been taking for granted since Half-Life came out, we kinda have to incorporate them ourselves from scratch", and I don't know if that's what you're implying, but I don't believe anyone has copy-pasted anything from their mods into IM.
Also I believe part of the point of this blog entry is to explain to people that each Build dev has had to make its own effects and how they're made. It might seem like an obvious thing to you, but considering the widespread belief that "Build was updated with RoR for SW/Blood", people might think that any effect used in later Build games were made on the engine side, and by analogy, that IM can use any of those without having to work on them.

I was simply making the point that a lot of the things talked about in the article have been around for a long time, thanks to Eduke32. I don't object to the article at all.

If anything was copy-pasted, it was probably very general function type of stuff -- like math and physics calculations. Maybe certain other things where it made sense to do so, and there's nothing wrong with that. Porting over code you wrote that performs a general function is nothing like copy-pasting part of a map.

I'm dreaming about a blog post on how they solved EDuke32's frame pacing and vsync issues. :)
