WIP - Guam Theatre

link please for this theater :bowd:

A little bit of what is going on ATM in the GUAM MP UI:
WHY??
Well jeez’, I had to deny you,the online player, from starting a New Campain’ on the RF\BFS\TW Server’s (not sure about that one…seem’s OK now??),then I had to deny weather and a whole bunch of other thing’s.
I am SERIOUSLY thinking of putting a CONFORM to Servers Game in there.(and,at the BMS Boyz’,remember the old PunkBuster Util??? Maybe the RiverRat duz’)
As it it is right now, in GUAM……you have no option’s,but, to conform in the MP environ…Hmmphf!Regards
demerP.S. B4 we start bashing…think about it…are these “Abilities” to **** with the MP Campain’ REALLY NEEDED, I think not.The MP environ that the BMS Boyz’ gave us is truly remarkable.Let’s punch some MORE stability in there, iffn’ we can.

It’s been awhile……I know.
UI work for MP took longer than planned.
Though it has worked out and should lead to a more stable, more enjoyable experience (sans Punkbuster) for those that join the server’s.Back at the Drawing Board now:
As we can see in this image, there is a defined difference on how SHE will render a Texture. On the right of the line is a 1024@72ppi tile, to the left is a 4096@233ppi tile……though we are farther away from the 4096 tile, it is better defined\focused than the 1024 we are flying over.
Now, about the FPS…LOL…this shot is with EVERYTHING on in BMS GFX wise. As well, just inside my BUBBLE (yeah I,the player, collided with it) is an Airbase Objective that has a F’Ton of “Object’s\Feature’s\Model’s” on it(Seosan,the biggest I could find ATM)!!!Though it is in the Ocean,some 10nm North, it will still impact her FPS……HMMMM…LOL!!!Hope this help’s…B’WAAaaaaaaHaaaaa???
BTW…some of the trailing effect is caused by the F16 it self

Please….please just finish and release this thing before I die, or get a job that eats up all my free time.

May I say that it looks great… but even though if the object was 3d it would be clearer…
And may I ask master??? where on earth did u got a 4096 @233dpi pic? u own a satellite? :lol: Or u live there and Fly over and photoshoot? :lol:

@Mike……I thought you already had a job there Ensign…LOL!!!
@Arty…Go to MAPMART or other’s,drop 350 US$ for the Min order,than another 25-100 US$ for your specific area of interest, then they will send you a DVD or download of the latest imagery. Then you need to “Slice and Dice” it in PS to fit Falcon…LOL!!!
P.S. If your married,you need to spoof the wife as to why you just spent 598 US$ on something that you are going to give away “FREE”…:rofl:

There has been some general discussion on Objective Density\Feature Count that we can shove into Falcon.Though I know for a FACT we cannot exceed ~5000 Objective’s (due to Feature’s on the Objective) in a 64 Segment Theater,there is a work around.
Now, I am doing this in GUAM, for a different reason. That being that the individual PR Tile’s suck ALOT!!! of FPS (Basically no repeated\load once tile’s). It’s just the way Falcon build’s,then send’s the list to the GFX engine\card.(Has to go via CPU I believe)Guess I should explain the difference……Some will counter that we have over 1 million or whatever Seatile’s in Korea Theater and the FPS is fine with that.That is because she only load’s that Tile ONCE into MEM and render’s all from that single tile…get it???
Lot simpler math for her to do then rendering 1100+ individual Tile’s every millisecondNow back to a work around…whilst building the Custom Airbase’s for Guam I ran into a FPS problem with the FEATURE’S on the OBJECTIVE…sucked alot of Frame’s.
So this is what I am doing to remedy the problem for you guy’s with lesser rig’s so we can enjoy a PR Terrain.I’ll explain in picture’s so that our non-native English speaking PEEP’s get a better idea. No offense M8’s!!!
OK, Pic #1 is from ~1500 ft. and 1 km out.
The runway to the left (a feature) is being “Rendered” in 3D,the one to the right is being “Rendered” off the 2D tile.As you can see from the FPS Counter, I have already “Bought” a 50% increase by removing the runway “feature” on the right
Pic#2 As we move away,at this point (~10000ft ~10Km’s away) we still see the left runway trying to be rendered as if we were 1000 ft away???, but the right runway is starting to fade using DXT5 and Fading Mip’s.
Pic#3 Now we are still ~10000ft altitude BUT ~15km’s away and they have both “Faded” into what I believe the human eye see’s.
But the FPS remain’s constant (~60)…good thing!!!Anyhoooo…that’s how it goe’s with the “Beatch”…LOL
demer(BTW The Limestone Cliff’s in the first pic are an illusion\eye trick brought to you by Polak, Thank’s M8 )
How exactly did u “Bought” 50% increase? I can’t see the reasoning and the equation here?
If that tile underneeth the runway was a simpler colouring without the runway and less detailed maybe the fps where better?
Did u do that test thus to cover the test from all aspects?About Objectives and Features…
Have u cleared the database? what I mean: u used the Korea one or u redone it from scratch? -
There now for a minute
-
just saw it… lol
Was working on 2 km city blocks… I managed to put them in the right order…
I also managed to copy an Objective as here:https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?10828-How-to-add-NEW-AIRBASES-Finding-the-way…
Must find how to park the objective only where I want…
If this is done then we are off to go… Only thing missing are the destruction models…
