Optimization

I had that issue at one point. For me it was a simple problem of over heating. Put another fan in my tower and the problem went away.

 

well you know how to do that, and you have the resources, but what with the non adults, the -18 people and the stupid people?

 

Open your tower and have a box fan blow on you video card

 

How many people are actually going to open up their tower and give it a blow once in a while? I woudnt just cause I'm lazy and I dont feel like failing...

 

Or put your whole computer in a trash bag or big bucket and fill it with cooking oil.

 

That I might try

 

Paradox, you're such a fucking idiot sometimes.

 

Is vis distance adjustable? or is that decided by the mapper?

 

Depends for what stuff. Buildings, players, vehicles and other stuff is decided by the server. Mappers can decide the distances on some other things, and you can change the odd thing clientside, like detailsprites (little grass tufts sticking out of the ground).

 

tbh i think atm empires as a whole can only move forward in a manly pace if we rethink everything that makes empiresmod from the ground up, compare it to what we have, pick the better option and recode if necessary

or write a design doc of what we have (a good one) and review everything as to how we could make it better

lots of small things that are not entirely 100% right add up to the steep learning curve of empires, together with some inherent gameplay flaws really make an analysis of the game itself not a luxury we could spare if we want to move further

but yea... like thats ever gonna happen
