any general tips on how to improve frame rate in game? Its currently running about 3fps atm

Lots of threads about this, use search function but essentially its all about optomised scripts, models, images, LODs, Clipping and so on.

Just done a search using the search function on the forum and the only results were the thread i just created lol!

change the search time, its probly at 1 week.

Maybe your PC is too old...

It's thousands of possibilitys...
To much loops in one frame...
To many polygons to count...
- var camera.clip_far is to big
- fog_end is to big
- wrong LOD system
- to complicated models
Bad scripting...
Bad shadering...
Some applications are running in backgroud...
Problems with Win...
Hardware problems...
Drivers problems...
...
....
.....

Ok thanks,

In the short term im thinking about changing all textures from BMP to .DDS and also reduceing many of them from 1024 x 1024 to 512 x 515.

Currently there is no fog assigned actually. Might be an idea.

yeah, bmp's are slow...

I found some good threads in my favs, here are them:

Hey man brilliant links there! Thanks


Once Question: in a thread you wrote:

"Try to write entity managers. When you have levels with repeating models everywhere (up to 3-6 dozens identical mesh entities or more), you should conside to replace it by a entity manager which keeps only just 10-25% entities visible max on the screen but when you wander around the entities move to the points whereas you see them."

What would be the best way to go about doing this?
