LINCHY!!!

moove config has the auto pluginloader so no shortcut +P stuff anymore, it loads all .dlls in /plugins so just slap it in there

i think it adds a variable in clientprefs, but it defaults to on and isn't really a live variable that takes effect in-game, only on init and i never tested it to see if it actually works

and sorry lemo my bro no updates for now, maybe later in june or something

Nice

sounds gay

<3 groooov

so i've notice it takes a bit of fps bite while looking at buildings. Any way to disable LoD fix on just certain objects like minimize it to only the dts shapes instead of all objects?

no

iirc it shouldnt affect bases themselves but does affect turrets/antennas etc

back when i made it i tested fairly extensively and found that it was generally a 1-7% max FPS hit (7% when in-view weapon/antennae are switched up to full LoD)

there's 0 code overhead, the FPS loss is purely due to rendering certain things higher detail and will obviously take a minor hit because of that

yeah, I just notice that you can see the fine detail of the base emblems from far away.

where was this back in 2003

p sure its a 1.40 bug that didn't exist in 1.30 when we were using it back in 2003 so yea

groove why isn't this lod plugin perfect yet what are you doing

I wonder what else you could do with this plugin. that's why I was wondering if it had any variables.

do you plan to add it in the ****ty config that you are making?

not really, it has a boolean true/false variable that i think you can use to disable it but its kinda pointless since thats all the plugin does so why disable it when you can just remove the .dll


i had test versions that only affected weapon LoD, only affected disc launcher LoD, ones that had live variables so i could change LoDs individually or all LoDs globally - but they were all far more complicated

this way was the simplest and used the least code to affect the most stuff, but it doesn't have any granular control or settings

pretty sure you're the only person out there playing tribes with a computer ****ty enough to enough notice the FPS hit and i could probably make one that affects less stuff but then it would have more code overhead and would probably cause the same FPS drop so it would be counterproductive

Anni uses way more base textures. Thats the only time i notice the drop

yo shift tell those retard anni map makers to use "snap to grid" whenever possible damn wtf is wrong with u guys maybe that's ur fps problem

maybe you should stop flying like a ****ing skrub clipping to **** and ammo bombing people

groov i dont understand this what does this do

lod = less of dick he is saying he is small down stairs.
