| 00:01.45 | delusional | yes ive seen that mode by tweaking config.cfg |
| 00:03.59 | delusional | ... so when a bullet (or tank) is flying it is NOT discounting the objects in faraway octrees? |
| 00:05.19 | trepan | the octree helps decide which "solid" objects need to be checked |
| 00:06.30 | delusional | ultimately, I want the map to play faster, and in the past when i had many large flat planes stacked vertically, it dragged down FPS signifigantly. |
| 00:06.59 | delusional | many "floors" |
| 00:07.03 | trepan | it maight be the rendering that's slowing you down |
| 00:07.06 | trepan | *might |
| 00:08.11 | delusional | so... the octrees are discounting some objects, but I won't see any benefit by breaking up my large planes. |
| 00:09.20 | trepan | probably not, but it might be worth a try |
| 00:09.35 | delusional | yeah, i supose i could test it. |
| 00:09.37 | trepan | might also be worth it to play with the coldet octree parameters |
| 00:10.08 | delusional | don't think i've ever done that before.. what are they? |
| 00:10.30 | trepan | um, it's been a half decade; lemme check :) |
| 00:11.04 | trepan | _coldetDepth & _coldetElements |

| 00:11.47 | trepan | strangely enough, sometimes having fewer coldet octree divisions can also help |
| 00:12.13 | trepan | enough thing to try is to see if it's coldet or rendering; try making everything transparent |
| 00:12.41 | delusional | excellent, what I plan to do is make the BZ-objects invisible, and use drawinfo for all the rendering. |
| 00:12.47 | trepan | (and turn off the radar...) |
| 00:13.19 | trepan | gonna nurse my headache, good luck with it :) |
| 00:14.01 | delusional | hmm, didnt think of radar, except maybe there's a visibility improvement with the smaller boxes on a tall wall. |
