AJL Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Does someone remember what is the console command for framerate ??? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- And does someone know where that stuff is in the code ?? And if someone does and/or understands this stuff then: Would it be good idea to "try" to scale sabers trail stuff based on framerate ??? Because framerate clearly affects to that saber trail effect Usually when i test my saber (alone in the game) that trail is small, clean, all ways pretty nice but then when there is more going on and frame rate drops that trail will grow (and with normal JK2 code its shape will also change to pentagonal...)

Wudan Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 if i recall, the console command for fps is cg_drawfps 1 it is set to 0 by default. As far as changing it through code, I haven't heard of the problem you are describing. I have even played with "cl_avidemo 1" to record saber battles (takes a screenshot every second) and haven't seen such a problem ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJL Posted February 17, 2003 Author Share Posted February 17, 2003 (when framerate drops the shape of the trail will stretch to those arrows directions... and the overall size (lenght) of the trail will get biger...) You haven't seen anything like that ?? I don't have that shape problem anymore with my new saber code but obviously the size of the entire trail still gets biger when framerate drops because that is how it is rendered... (game stores the position of the saber after every frame and then at next frame it uses that info to draw the trail so when framerate drops the saber moves longer distance during one frame... so it get biger...)

AJL Posted February 17, 2003 Author Share Posted February 17, 2003 Ok i think i got it working now... (looks fine when framerate is somewhere between 15 and 40) ------------------------------------------------------------- HOW high/low the framerate usually is when you play ??

Wudan Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Usually FPS is around 30-50 when I'm moving around a lot, 60-90 when I'm at a stand still. I'm playing with Tchouky's sabers lately, so that might be why we have different results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
