February 6th, 2010 - Team Status & Snowstorm Update

[Isis]

He works for the CIA and is doing secret stuff...at least that's the rumor I hope spreads

[Shinobi]

I've gotten a few messages sort of saying goodbye as if I'm leaving. I'm still here but I'm just focusing on my mapping and school studies

In fact I have some updates on derailed up for those that want to see here:

So Hitman went away, there were still bugs in the game, so Mazor came on board to fix things out. Since all the code was old, it would be just as easy to port it to the Orange Box as it would be to track down all the bugs?

[Shinobi]

Actually it looks like it would be easier to port to OB.

as Alex "Shinobi" wanted to get back focusing on developing his levels, as well as helping out in areas of the code where he can. He did an excellent job with FA:S and will continue to be helping us out, which we are greatly thankful for.

lol, perhaps i should have bolded that.

[waisted menkey]

shinobi and hitman are the same person? i'm so confused...

...and i want better than CIA. we can certainly come up with something far better than CIA...

and shinboobie needs to fix his maps lol. he better not be going anywhere for those confused.

did hitman have another kid?

I wouldn't worry about your PC struggling. I was running FA:S perfectly fine on a Q6600 with a Nvidia 8800GTS; I was getting 60fps at 1920 by 1280 with medium/high settings.

I run a E6600 2.4G with an Nvidia 7800GS, stock clocks, with max FA:S settings. If you have that or better, noone should worry.

I don't want 60fps though, I want 100+. It's a CS mentality.

I was worried because in general there will be more happening in a firearms game plus the maps look fantastic. As we know the source engine is quite cpu biased and my 2.4GHz would no way get me 100fps lol.

In dods I get more stable frames than css, despite the "busier" nature of the game and vastly better looking maps - so that's why I'm very pleased to hear the OB news.

*edit

Plus OB is meant to have better netcode. DodS, as well as being crap, is so different from css it's hard for me to be sure about that though.

very nice !
awesome to see you guys are pluggin along, good luck !

[Zero-Saber]

what is your card Pixel shader level?

I already know I can't run OB engine games, at least Portal and HL2EP2. They don't even start. I use a laptop, and it's a couple years old. My card is an Nvidia GeForce 440 Go. I think the shader level is either 1.0 or not at all.

I'm actually surprised episode1 ran so well for you
