@Ben & Brian:
I truly have to say I'm super keen on the things that might be in MS 4. And I know that MS 4 is not released now, but to feed the hungry mouthes, would it be possible for you to post 1 or 2 screenshots of the stuff that you have in the works? :-)
(it's ok if you don't want to post something. I justed didn't want to miss having asked...)

I'm kind of surprised some of the lighting code wasn't added in 3.5. It seems to be working in Legions.

Hey, that's like trying to peek at christmas presents... what might we get? :-)
Guess 1: Day / night cycle tech (like John mentioned?!?)
Guess 2: Shaders for TGE?
Guess 3: New Vehicles?
Guess 4: Some super secret new technology that Brian and Ben developed to gain world-domination
Guess 5: Universal piece? :-)

Along with the existing TLK features, TSE's lighting and shadows include: self-shadowing DTS objects, lighting and shadows on Atlas terrain, High Dynamic Range Lighting and Tone Mapping (including a DRL solution), and full shader support for all lighting types - even on automatically generated shaders!
It sounds like Milestone 4 = integrated Shaman.

John Kabus just announced on the TLK forums that TLK will be bundled with TSE. I don't want to cut and paste the whole announcement but here's the juiciest part:Along with the existing TLK features, TSE's lighting and shadows include: self-shadowing DTS objects, lighting and shadows on Atlas terrain, High Dynamic Range Lighting and Tone Mapping (including a DRL solution), and full shader support for all lighting types - even on automatically generated shaders!

*edit* link removed - sorry, didn't realize it was to private forum :(

Does the bundleing mean that TLK comes for free for TSE owners or do TSE owners need to buy TLK to gain the full hyper-HDR-shadow-tonemapping-monster? :-)

Don't know that we're supposed to mention it outside of the TLK forums, but TLK is the lighting layer of TSE, it's not extra, it's included.

Neat! and Rats! at the same time. If TLK for TSE is going to be standard, any chance we can get a peak at it in here? I don't have TLK so can't view the link given above.

Obviously, a shaderized version of that would look a lot nicer. :)

You could try the TLK demo. www.garagegames.com/products/36 - hit the red demo link.Obviously, a shaderized version of that would look a lot nicer. :)

Finally? MS3.5 just came out not long ago =P Don't get too excited, they've added 3 more milestones so they go to 7 now instead of 4. *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*
