I have found a way to double the fps (from 33 to 66) with out increasing the look of the game speed. It needs empty's mod to work. I set to sync rate to 60 and then halved the speed of all the dynamic entity's.

1. Put this script on a dynamic entity and set it to always active.


2. Half the speed value on all the dynamic entity's (including player marker, doors and windows).

There is one problem, that the player gun is twice the speed, which could be fixed by halving the speed of the animation.

I will upload a working demo of it, if you like.

olliday,

Hmmmn. Now that's encouraging.

I'd be grateful if you could upload a demo. I'd like to take a closer look at this in action.

This could be huge, if it's possible to duplicate this for everyone.

Thanks,

Seth Black

Now all we need is the release of that mod that allows FPSC to have water and a load/save mod and ta-da after some work combining them we have FPSC X8 1/2! great.

I will upload a demo.

Edit: Here is the demo:
http://www.uploading.com/files/K9SSOIH4/Faster_Frames_Test_1.zip.html

I think it's a litle bit faster that what it should be, but I can chage that.

Known Problems:

Player Weapon Too fast.
Jump/Crouch Too fast
Enemys sunk in floor (mod bug)

It's still not timer based, which means your game will be even slower at low framerates...

Yeah, technically this idea gets you nowhere. Anyone with a slow computer will suffer even more so than constant 30fps.

Slower at slow framerates?

If you KNOW what framerate it'll be running at you can adjust all your entities' speeds accordingly.

You don't HAVE to change the entity speeds.

That's the thing - you don't KNOW what framerate it will be running. Capping it at 30 or 60 doesn't gurantee the player's computer can keep up with it. In fact, on my older(er) computer I had many AAA games that ran at only 15 or so frames per second, but since they were timer-based it wasn't a problem for the most part (though BF2142 was pretty bad sometimes)

Airslide is absolutely correct. If you have the entity speeds half of their normal speeds and the game runs at 60fps, then that's fine. It looks good. However. If your game is running at 30fps and your entity speeds are set up for 60fps, the entities will be moving dreadfully slow and it will only get worse as your framerate drops.

Isn't that the problem with computers that don't keep up with 30 fps?

I mean, the problem is consistent with the currently existing FPSC engine.


It may interest you to know that Lemur V2 is planned to have timer based movement implemented, so this little qwirk will be eliminated.

That's good to know. Hopefully that should allow you to have higher frame rates.

Yes, olliday, in fact, if EVERYTHING gets timer based movement (which is what we're moving for) then we could potentially just scrap that stupid "Sync rate ##" part of the code, as it wouldn't make a difference except helping people with good computers get smoother action.
