The biggest one would be technological differences. The system requirements are higher than ep1 for starters, because there is a significant technological difference in what is performed. All the shaders are different, and have a lot more computations; Running the hl2mp source in ep1 engine will consume less resources than in orange box, even with the exact same content and code.
Take a look at the difference in requirements: HL2/EP1: ---- Minimum: 1.2 GHz Processor, 256MB RAM, DirectX 7 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection Recommended: 2.4 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX 9 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection EP2/Orange Box: --------------- Minimum: 1.7 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX(R) 8 level Graphics Card, Windows(R) Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection Recommended: Pentium 4 processor (3.0GHz, or better), 1GB RAM, DirectX(R) 9 level Graphics Card, Windows(R) Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection Make sense? :) -Tony On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 4:01 AM, Janek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I just finished porting my mod from "ep1 engine" to "OB engine".
