the Engine Room - Beta release

Diablo65 · Post by **Diablo65** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 10:39 am

Ok, I've been working on this for about one and a half week on and off, and I liked the idea from the start. Now Im having doubts though. Im getting a pretty low FPS now and then, and there's some sound clutter. That's why Im asking you to spare 10 to 15 minutes to play around a bit with this mod, kill a few flood, and give me your 2 cents on whenever to scrap or evolve this mod, and if the latter, what to add/fix. Thank you.

It's a good thought, and it might work. tell me what kind of computer do you have? And does your computer run insanity ok? (the reason i say that is because i think alot of people get bad frame rates on that map, and if you can run that map, your should turn out file) Oh one thing though, don't do the warthog run on D40, i already claimed that BSP

I know llama, Im one of your beta testers

I've been toying with the idea of an AI mod there, but I think it's too vast...

I run Insanity pretty well. I get a bit of lag if I stare at a multitude of explosions everywhere, but it's still playable. about 15-20 FPS, 30-40 standard...

Im one of them. Sorry, I've been trying to get to those test runs, but something's always prevented me...

The mod ROCKS. I'd play it all day, but I have one last final exam before the end of the school year, and I need to study.

The FPS is fine on my laptop, and I have a 1.83 GHZ CPU, and I have a sub-par graphics card.

I also made a video:

If you call that sub-par... well... mine is, :'( Well, it's much much worse than that.

The reason your FPS is bad is because your useing to many flame effects. Also i think you should just call this done and move onto something else.

watched the video.... and they seemed extremely weak...

Like... you could still fight each other on that map, and they would only be a minor annoyyance

Diablo65 · Post by **Diablo65** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 6:22 am

That's something I could change easily should I choose to finnish this mod. You see, their command lists tells them to run very close to the Marines before I allow initiative. Becuase of this, they will barely damage you untill they reach that point. If I finish the mod, I can simply give them intiative before they get into the marine line of fire.

llama_juice · Post by **llama_juice** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 6:31 am

I say do that, otherwise you could play tag with them or something like that.... haha

um looks nice but..is it a multiy player map or what?

if multy 8/10

if single 6/10

Diablo65 · Post by **Diablo65** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 8:47 am

It's a multi player map. Run it as usual (on LAN or a locked Internet server, AI doesnt work well over the net).

IFE-Legend · Post by **IFE-Legend** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 9:53 am

man this map looks very familiar, not to the single player level but another CE map called just like this...

are you sure you made this? i got the feeling i played it before

Diablo65 · Post by **Diablo65** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 9:55 am

Oh yes, quite positive. I can give you a few Sapien picks if you want, seeing as you can (at least I cant) open Scenarios that werent created at your computer.

llama_juice · Post by **llama_juice** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 10:49 am

I think he means the BSP maybe.....

yea, there is another Engine Room BSP MP map out there somewhere for CE I belive... so... its the same room... just with AI now basically from what I can tell
