<div class="IPBDescription">For low end users and hardcore tweakers.</div> Well, basically what im asking and hoping someone can make is basically some kind of relacement hud that takes away some of the useless parts of the marine and alien hud to raise fps.

The NS huds have transparencies, and if someone where to be able to make the huds opaque at the very least it could certainly help low end users.

Another request would be to have high fps building models, please if anybody can manage to make either or both of these things it would be greatly appreciated.

    AFAIK the hud won't make any difference to fps - it's just pictures overlaid on the world you see. The transparancy thing isn't an issue at all either - it's just the way the program interprets the sprite information and will be the same for whatever way the sprite is made (file sizes may vary slightly) but it will have an infinitessimal effect on performance.

    There are easier and much more effective ways to improve performance, as detailed in the guides in the tech support forum.

    I'm all for low-poly buildings though, especially things like turrets that you can see an awful lot of on screen at once.

    Actually souris, the transparencies do play a significant part of the fps drop for voodoo and 3dfx card users. They arent that good at rendering transparencies so it takes more clock power to render them.

    If anyone can make a solid colored hud and high fps buildings it could really make my day.

    PS: I know all about tweaks, i even wrote an article which you can find at www.planetns.com/articles/tweaks.htm

    Hopefully that will help you guerilla.
