I guess yes by looking at the FPS.

definitely! you use many many framekiller.

- big patch terrain
- reflecting glass (is it on a patch? seems that could be another fps killer)
- water/reflecting water (dunno which is correct ,but with this level of detail it kills fps)
- dense grass (kills also fps, if there is much of it)

I believe big patch terrain is an ok thing (or should be anyways). But too many effects will certainly kill the FPS. I recommend using env-maps for the glass (see how I did them on windows in Red Planet).

it works, but as you can see on your Lord Of The Moths map as long there are only a few effects it works (it still has a huge impact on the fps). The best way is to use SavageX terrain generator or a dotProduct2 terrain

True, I did a bit of an overkill making the glass actual glass (which means, reflecting grass AND water), but patch terrains isn't something of an issue. And, yes, grass is on a patch. I may try to do this by a terrain generator and then re-do the textures, but then I'd have to find a way of getting the checkpoint models out of the ground (so I don't get the entity-in-brush crap). Anyway, I'll be getting rid of the realtime glass, which seems to be the biggest FPS hog.

@theShadow: give the crylink a stock like every other weapon (well, laser needs new model too). I think that's what make it look out of place with other weapons.

What is the one with the fixed handle? I like it, especially the first-person view.

Not every weapon needs a stock in my opinion. The laser and crylink especially would seem weird with one.

thats the machine gun Wink

you mean a rear stock? (the crylink has a forestock)

Depends. Would energy weapons have much recoil? Unlikely. If they don't have much recoil theres less need for a stock I should think...

Yes, I meant rear stock. What your model has is generally called a fore-grip, or just grip. The problem with not having a stock is it looks smaller and less powerful (which is fine for the laser I suppose) when the Crylink is really a decently powerful weapon.

The Crylink is a plasma weapon, it just runs off energy ammo (don't get me started...), also HLAC, Electro and most likely the 'arc cannon' models have stocks.

I support both of your MG models theShadow Smile

Not a weapons freak, but I always thought a stock was put in place so that you can mount a weapon to shoulder for a more accurate shot typically on longer range weapons. I also notice that a lot of shotguns in real life tend to not have them, probably because of the kickback and the fact that they're not precise weapons which are intended for close range.

I don't know what do you mean under "slowly", but the tiles only lit up when you're standing on them, and only fade away after a second or so you've stepped off.

Brilliant concept. That would make one-on-one very interesting, methinks.

Good to see you actually implement this, C. Brutial. What is it? DM? CTF? Assault?
Reply

It'll be a small 1on1 DM map, not CTF. Also, I'm a bit afraid of this map, because the lighting up floors might generate huge traffic and also put a lot of stress on servers, so it might never be used as a real map, only a concept. Soon I'll have a playable alpha, and we'll see.
