Faster Fps With New Skins

ThomasThomas Join Date: 2003-02-27 Member: 14095Members
<div class="IPBDescription">I want higher fps with new skins</div> My computer has a low CPU with a out-dated graphic card. When I play NS, I

always lag with the appearance of flare of ammo, medpack and phase gate. Does

anyone have suggestion that solve my problem, such as providing new skins

replacing the flare of ammo, medpack and phase gate.

    You could get some low-poly models. But if your computer really can't get at least 30 fps most of the time on NS, im sorry but you do need some sort of an update.

    That model pack is EVIL!!! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    There was a post around here with a nice low poly model pack that some guys in Japan made (correct me if I'm wrong), but they didnt release it to ns.org. They were well made and looked nice.

    EDIT:

    If the problem was only when you saw a phasegate or the commander spawn somthing I took the liberty of resizing the sprites that make those effects(not sure if i go tthem all), the sprites stay the same size in game, but the lower teture resolution should speed up rendering. (extract to ..\ns\sprites)

    the problem is dynamic lighting. I had the same problem before I upgraded. When a comm drops something, there's a short "flare" of lighting used, which on intel video cards can make hell for FPS. use cl_dynamiclighting 0 instead <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    What a great method to solve my problem. Thank You <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> !

    My only problem is the "FLARE"!!!! Now it is gone!
  • ThomasThomas Join Date: 2003-02-27 Member: 14095Members
    It said that <b>cl_dynamiclighting </b>did not exist. Is there something wrong or

    you gave me the wrong command? Besides the command deleting the flare, can

    someone give me another suggestion?
  • ThomasThomas Join Date: 2003-02-27 Member: 14095Members
    Besides, the flare of I.P and the shimmer with welder also make me lag in the

    game. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> Can anyone help me?

    no really, get a new pc or upgrade if your pc is that bad
  • BAshhBAshh Join Date: 2003-08-26 Member: 20222Members, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    or play with the lag, we all deal with lag every now and then
  • timreKtimreK Join Date: 2003-10-10 Member: 21566Members
    the command is cl_dynamiclights "0"
  • ThomasThomas Join Date: 2003-02-27 Member: 14095Members
    Thanks. Now my last problem is that the Phase Gate!!! It really hurts my ping!

    Can someone suggest the best phase gate with the best fps or change its flare?
