Advanced HUD Tools

[Lancelot]

I still haven't gotten around to learning how to use this...

Because of the ease at which you can quickly kill your framerate using loops and any complex tag-set, I'm going to have to rewrite a fair chunk of the core of HUD2 to provide variable caching.

I told you so™

Lol @ tm

Alright, 'fess up: who ate moggie?

EDIT: I'm having fun browsing the code atm.

- Me, just now.

I'm just home for Christmas, and as such, only have my laptop with me (main machine's too friggin' heavy to bring), and my laptop runs Linux - so no in-game testing for me for the min.

Instead I've been rewriting some of the core code for more speed

What are the specs of your laptop? I could probably get it to run Steam and GMod through WINE, unless it's a really old laptop.

Or you could just pick up a copy of crossover :/

WINE can be a little temperamental with this sort of stuff.

[N00bDud3]

Do you realize how much that costs? Besides, all of those are essentially front-ends to WINE that auto-download and configure the best version of WINE. Might as well just use Windows for how much that program is. WINE isn't very hard to configure either, if you know how to use Google.

I'll mess with this some later if I get the chance

I'm trying to work your HUD render algorithm as a whole into an E2 extension :P. I've never done anything networked before, so its really interesting.

Intel graphics card - I got this thing for work, so its rather lacking on the whole 'pushing polys' front, but thanks anyhow

I have tried in the past, it gets about 3fps even with tweaks - its just not worth it!

Don't - I'm in the middle of fundamentally changing how it works - the current one simply isn't quick enough when you do anything complex.
