meninblck · Sep 9, 2004

i was wondering the same thing!

TMPer Tantrum · Sep 9, 2004

I think you got in first with this one.

Nice update. Lots of people reporting 5-15 fps increase.

I got a 10 fps increase with x800 p4 3gig 1gig ram running 1600x1200 6xaa, 8xaf

Edit: No, just found the real original thread

fuzzy_aus · Sep 9, 2004

Hostages? Am i missing something?

Alix Mcdean · Sep 9, 2004

Welp, I just finished download and it seems as though theres no new hostage map

I dont get it, why would they mention hostages unless there WERE hostages.
Playing with our minds?!...Perhaps a warning of teh futar?!
OMGWTFSTFUGTFO!....
Heh, sorry.
Well I'd like to know.

Feath · Sep 9, 2004

It's still a change to CS:S even if the current map doesn't implement it.

mayro · Sep 9, 2004

They removed alot of stuff from the CSS file too...

Goodbye sheild texture, i will miss you.

fuzzy_aus · Sep 9, 2004

Bloody nice update. Smoother and faster now.

Wraith · Sep 9, 2004

more importantly, why should the terrorists be allwoed to just kill all the hostages and then hide until the round is over? if they have no hostages left why would the CTs even care? if they DID still care why wouldnt we just nuke the building and get CTs out of there?

Ragnarokk · Sep 9, 2004

Because the CTs were dirty and killed all the hostages. If they were going to do that they should have just nuked it to start with. It doesn't quite fit logically, but sometimes reality must be saacrificed for gameplay.

Alix Mcdean · Sep 9, 2004

I love the new blood effects on the bodies

Just a momment ago I lodged a bullet in a CT's head.
Showed a nice blood splatter mark on the side of his skull, looks very realistic(Minus the part that the skull would actualy 'splode.)

I feel so morbid

...but I like it!

no no, im saying that the Ts could kill the hostages and then hide for the rest of the round

Ragnarokk · Sep 9, 2004

Er yeah, I read that wrong. That is retarded. I completely agree with you now. It's of little consequence as rounds rarely ever run out of time, but stupid none the less.

SweetLou · Sep 9, 2004

I gained about 15fps and the aa and af settings are sticking now. Oh and now the ingame gamma correction is working whereas before it would not. I love getting over 100fps @ 1600x1200 4xAA 8xAF.

Whoopie for you!
Heres your cookie of FPS pwnage!

Whats the point? I mean come on? Why have anyting over maybe 50fps? :| Are you really going to notice THAT much?

Maybe its just me. Meh.

-Alix

Ragnarokk · Sep 9, 2004

You certianly won't notice anything over 75, unless you have a monitor that supports refresh rates higher than that.

Alix Mcdean · Sep 9, 2004

One of my points exactly.
Theres no reason to have anything over 50! I mean seriously, if you happen to notice anything over 50 then holy crap you have super eyes.
I'm not going to get into the whole "The human eye cannot see over 30fps" stuff, i've already went through all of it and it shows that you INDEED can.
Anyway, back on subject-
Yeah, 20-50 fps will do me just nicely.

-Alix

fuzzy_aus · Sep 9, 2004

I cant get these body decals happening. Does model detail need to be on max? tectures on max? do you need more than a geforce 2 to see it?

Alix Mcdean · Sep 9, 2004

Dunno.
They seem fairly uncommon to show up anyway. I did notice them not showing up on your own body as you died too.
I'm running on a voodoo 3, seems to be going beautifully

You lose money if you kill a hostage, don't you? Or doesn't that apply to Terrorists? Sorry, I haven't play 1.6 in a long time. :|

Then I have super eyes

. I always notice the difference between 85 FPS and 100 fps.

Alix Mcdean · Sep 9, 2004

If you say so :|

yah but what T would want to kill a hosty and get such a money penalty, besides ppl who are just screwing around. i think u get like $-2000 per hosty if i remeber correctly from 1.6 . prolly not quite that much, i havnt killed a hosty in a while.

PriNcE oF SpAcE · Sep 9, 2004

that hostage line(besides possible hinting at a CS-map coming soon) doesn't add anything new from 1.6(it might fix a previous bug in their internal testing CS:S)

it was this way in 1.6, the timer runs out CT loose hostages or not...

DigiQ8 · Sep 9, 2004

Now THATS what i call an update !
Got More FPS

Nez0nline · Sep 9, 2004

have a read of this, your really need the same fps as ur fresh rate for a perfect picture: http://www.viperlair.com/articles/editorials/misc/fps/

FoB_Ed · Sep 9, 2004

on most servers you get kicked for killing hostages a few times

Nex321 · Sep 9, 2004

I have 85 Hz. I guess I should be proud of that.

85 is enough and no 50 aint enough

dreten707 · Sep 9, 2004

omg that suckzorz if the terrorist kill the hostages what then they win ffs!

They also lose all of their money, and in some cases will probably be kicked for killing hostages.
