Sorry, 300 FPS was all I could do :P
Coming along... I would suggest using higher resolution textures on everything (also, drop the compression on the normal maps)... Source can use up 2048x2048 (might be higher now) and if used correctly, does little to slow the system down. Also, turn AA on for even better screenshots... nice work... keep it up...
I'd just like to inform you that this could horribly backfire.
The texture resolution infact doesn't slow your system down, but it needs much VRAM. If don't have enough, your framerate "instant-drops" to unplayable in the worst case.
Higher resolution ok. BUT not on everything.
Yes. This Mod is meant to be playable on some of the oldest GPUs availible. In the end I am hoping to have acceptable and playable framerates on even a 6600 GT...though that may be pushing it. I do want this to be fully playable with no issues even on a GPU with only 256mb of onboard memory. Performance and playability are the focus (outside of the fun factor) of this Mod, not graphical 'wow'. Fun and playability on even the oldest of rigs is what Im shooting for with this first Mod. Later, when I make my next Mod, I will have a team and be able to focus more intently on each individual aspect. For this Mod, I am alone in this effort and have to balance each aspect with the most important factor of gaming: fun.
why are you making this alone anywys why not find a few guys who can help out. (even if it was with the coding or somthing minor.) also it would be awesome if the graphics were very scalable so that if i have crappy pc i can turn setting way down and enjoy the game. if i have nice and shiny pc i can play with the very shiny graphics. (though that might take alot of time to pull off. (if that is not possible just make it shiny. XD)
I do everything myself for a few reasons, the biggest being the challenge it presents. A Mod is a massive undertaking in itself, but doing a total conversion all by oneself is monumental. I enjoy challenges; its probably why I enjoy games so much in the first place. Aside fron that, I dont want to rely on anyone else for necessary pieces of the Mod. I want to design everything myself, without interference from team members who may very well eventually disagree on something that I am unwilling to compromise on. This way its all on me - and thats how I like it. I am borrowing a couple weapons from another Mod - with full permission of course. This is to save time in modelling and animating new weapons, though I may wind up doing that as well by the time this is finished.
