Bokishi Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Masked Sith Guy always had a certain ring to it. Just like before Darth Sion was named, he was known as Sexy Mofo. Kay, maybe not. Current 3DMark

starwarskid15_19 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 no OSW has been gone for a while. the force is what gives a jedi his power. its an energy field created by all living things. it surrounds us and penetrates us. it binds the galaxy together

The Yeti of 66 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Hmm......that makes me tired. But not that tired. I'll just go to sleep with one eye closed.

Archmonarch Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 And then end up declaring victory for his side. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Kazic Posted December 4, 2004 Author Posted December 4, 2004 LOL, people like that can get annoying. Do you guys think I could trick my best buy into handing over a copy of tsl?

Archmonarch Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Possible. I gotten a few games early from my local Best Buy. But usually only a day or so. I guess this qualifies. Usually if you ask someone to look in the back to see if its in, they will. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Archmonarch Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Just in case anyone hadnt seen this. I had a question to the Obsidian programmers (Akari or any other one who knows about it) about the frame rate issue. I would like to know what is the exact technical reason that concerning the graphics the Bioware engine is a little bit slower than "normal". It's remarkable that both the XBox and the PC have been affected likewise. Since it couldn't be completely fixed for the sequel I think it must be a systematical problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The framerate issues aren't really related to graphics at all. The problem is caused by all of the other systems throughout the game engine that are running. Creature AI updates, script execution, combat AI, etc. All those things take up CPU time and make it slower for the game engine to complete '1 loop' so that it can render the next frame. Which is why you'll probably find the slowest framerates in combat. The trouble with framerates is a side effect of using what was essentially a PC game engine on a console. PC engines tend to be written with convenience and flexibility in mind. But the side effect of this 'designer friendly' approach is that the game is slower. Data is stored as strings more than binary data, and string compares are rampant throughout the code, which are overly expensive (CPU-wise) operations compared to alternative approaches. Console-specific engines tend to be written a lot tighter. They tend to be far more memory efficient and clockcycle efficient. To solve these problems in KotOR2, we would have to have rewritten a lot of the engine, which the timeline for the project did not allow for. And even still, we made amazing improvements over many of the systems, it's just that we then turned around and pushed the systems harder than they had been pushed before. Early on in the project, we roughly doubled the average framerate of KotOR1, but then added a lot more stuff to the areas and the framerate went back down. We're also loading roughly 2 to 3 times the data per area load that KotOR1 loaded, but we were able to speed the loading process up enough that the load times are roughly equivalent to KotOR1. If we were loading KotOR1 levels with our changes, the load times would have been much faster. Most of the time, we considered KotOR1 the 'as bad as we can let it get' in terms of load times and framerates, then kept adding content to areas until the game slowed down to roughly the KotOR1 performance, figuring that was a safe baseline to operate from. -Akari <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
