Game Development: Another Touch of Fix

[Direkled]

And do you think that if those fixes you like to talk about were just a bit good, didn't Loftar already implemented in the code? That is his job?
Come on man, pls....with who you believe are speaking with? Cheers

His form is whack, that baby's heading to snap city.

What sMartins is trying to say is that if a custom client was actually more optimized it wouldn't NEED to disable everything to get higher fps because simply removing all of the unoptimized shit doesn't mean a client optimized it. He's trying to say that hiding a problem doesn't solve why it was a problem, even if it means that hiding the problem improves game play.

I'd rather have frames than animated beehives but whatever, I see his point. There's no reason to call him retarded for it.

We've been developing, and here's what's new.

Combat Changes
-----------------------

• The effective quality of a ranged weapon, as used when determining aim speed, is now a geometric mean of the qualities of the bow and arrow, rather than the lower of the two. Fixing this.
• The base damage of a ranged weapon is now reduced less by a low perception to agility ratio. It is now reduced by the square root of the perception to agility ratio, rather than the straight ratio.

Can confirm. This makes the bow useful for hunting again.(still very massive curve to being able to hunt bigger game, but its a more sane curve now.)

For all this holy optimization war - just a side question: how many java-based games do you know, that runs WAY smoother than H&H?

Minecraft. Not so many generally, if those are "bigger" projects.

Problem is not java, but ineffective openGL code

in some of the bigger fights, there hasn't been crops around or anything like that to cause FPS drops, so is it the player models themselves that are causing it?

Running animations, agro scents, multiple combat interactions, coin stacking animations, multiple sound ffects (coins, footsteps, unkinned alarms) movement resulting in loading nearby tiles etcetc

So that means that if i whant make decent damage i should increase my agility and perception?

cause i been trowing rocks to kill horses and takes FOREVER and many rocks and i am so low level that takes forever trow a arrow
