Need a Bit of Help

Posted by Xemrel on April 16, 2006, 5:54 p.m.

OKay, some of you may recall, I submitted a <a href="http://64digits.com/games/index.php?cmd=view_game&id=512" style="text-decoration:underline">worms-like WIP</a> a while back. Well, I haven't worked on it much since, because I got discouraged when it seemed to not work properly with so many people's graphics cards. So… Here's what I need from you.

1) Download a slightly altered version <a href="http://www.64digits.com/download.php?name=Tineae_Test.zip&id=4053" style="text-decoration:underline">here</a>.

2) When you run it, you'll notice an extra number below the FPS. 0 indicated that it's using the old method (that people's cards seem to not like), and 1 indicates that it's using a new method, which SHOULD work for everyone, hopefully.

3) Shoot like crazy (aim and fire with mouse, move with arrows), and see if there's a problem with the old method for you.

4) Press space to switch to the new mode (note the number in the corner), and shoot like crazy again.

5) Let me know which modes work and which ones don't.

It would be especially useful if people who remember having a problem before try this out. Thanks to anyone who participates. ^_^

I do not see a problem with either, and never have. Hmmmm…

They both seem to work fine for me as well, but I never had a problem.

Hmm… The second mode results in a much, much worse problem. The sectors literally go all black and disappear from a mere two hits. Otherwise, I still have the problem with the original method.
