Re: Dark Knite Engine - DarkX - 24-05-2009
Ok I have now nearly finished my Gameloop code, and jumped the FPS a bit. FPS=303 from 90 this is with the same amount of players online, extra animations, and npc's on the map. 303 was the lowest I had aquired in a 10 minute test here's the image for proof

I'll post more updates later on this week
Re: Dark Knite Engine - Labmonkey - 24-05-2009
Give computer specs or your fps means nothing. If you have a really really crappy computer, then anything above 30 is good, if you have a newage computer with a super fast graphics card, then your going to have an extremely high fps.
Re: Dark Knite Engine - ExoShox - 24-05-2009
well Lab the chat box says the FPS was 303. at least in the latest picture. and what the hell is wrong with the picture. it looks like my sister went thru it and picked random colors and then used the pencil tool in paint (oh god she sucks so bad with graphics that it is embarrassing)

Nobody cares about your sister.
He used a lossy format for saving the screenshot, that's all.

ExoShox, I'm an asshole.
I'm fully aware that it was a comparison. However, you went into much more detail than was required.
Re: Dark Knite Engine - GIAKEN - 25-05-2009
I HIGHLY doubt that 303 FPS...seriously...
I wouldn't doubt it, however, if we knew your computer specs...
Re: Dark Knite Engine - DarkX - 26-05-2009
amd Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 4800+ on interegrated graphics card
2.50GHz, 896 mb of ram
and it ran 198 on my old AMD K62 single core 400+
Re: Dark Knite Engine - Coke - 26-05-2009
Thats a pretty crap PC these days *no offence*, 303 is believable, I've had nearly 2k on my old machine on one of Robin's crazy fooking tests.
Re: Dark Knite Engine - DarkX - 27-05-2009
Well I test on the worst of my machines because when I got into internet gaming I was playing Diablo 2 and it didn't work to well on that amd K62 400+. So I remember that just because my better computer can run it fine doesn't mean that the ones who still have old computers will be able to.

My old Mirage sources were so fucking fast ;DD
Re: Dark Knite Engine - GIAKEN - 27-05-2009
How?
If I do even 4 or so BltFast calls I only get like 300 FPS...
Re: Dark Knite Engine - Labmonkey - 27-05-2009
32 fps on old computers is all you really need.
Re: Dark Knite Engine - GIAKEN - 27-05-2009
32 FPS is all you need period.
But when you're optimizing, unlock it.
Re: Dark Knite Engine - Labmonkey - 27-05-2009
Its a closed source engine, so why do you all care if the fps is 90 unlocked?
Re: Dark Knite Engine - DarkX - 27-05-2009
Because it gives them something to talk about in hopes to keep MS Forums alive and well, plus maybe there "thinking in the long run for anyone who would use it"
Who knows, but it's there opinion. Can't argue with them might get locked again.
Re: Dark Knite Engine - GIAKEN - 28-05-2009
Why do you care that people optimize?
You should try to get your FPS as high as you can go. The better the FPS, the better your code. It's like saying you can work out really good and you can run the mile really fast, but hey if you go ahead and eat a Big Mac' and only run the mile a few seconds slower then why not? Seriously Labmonkey.

Re: Dark Knite Engine - Xlithan - 05-09-2009
Reading through the post. Just to let you know that M:RPGe was released WAY before Konfuze was even made, it was based off Mirage Source 3.0.3. And I'll have you know that it was the first publically released open source engine with additions not seen in other sources.
It even had pets!
Re: Dark Knite Engine - DarkX - 05-09-2009
I just posted it in that order because everytime I asked about MRPGE on some of the old forums I would get E-mails saying it was based off of Konfuze(probably a bunch of people who didn't know which one came first)
And I removed 2 from that list, so that subject can be left alone.
