It's the sheep!
« on: October 12, 2001, 07:39:00 AM »
First off, I just want to say good job to the HTC staff.  I love this game to the point of addiction (much to the dismay of my wife).  

Ok to my point.  Is it just me or has others notice that the evil sheep are sucking up Frame Rate on this new map?

Frame Rate w/ no sheep:  ~30-35
Frame Rate w/ sheep visible:  10-15

I like the new (well old, redone) map, the varied trees are cool (but flying by them seems to have no big affect on frame rate).

Is this a bish conspiracy?  Or something more sinister?  

<please note I am joking and do not flame me too much>  :)

Alright, newb question here, but I have to ask.

What are the evil sheep, and how do you turn them off so you get better frame rate?

Turn your Clutter off.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Last I checked...Sheep/Trees/Huts and other clutter DO NOT turn off in V1.08.

Using Ctrl-C only turns off the texture overlay.

Correct, the sheep are permanent in v1.08.  I wonder if this also means if you hit them you die like a tree...(exploding sheep?)

    :rolleyes:

Oh also to answer your question Muck, the sheep are those little white dots you pass over on some maps and they are those fluffy white blobs with black faces you see in crosshairs when you die.

Update:  The sheep are exploding, I hit one the other night in an M16 doing 50mph and immediately crashed and died.  Beware the evil uber-sheep of doom!

i personally think the sheep are a major problem in the game...at least for me...as i see one and get all excited.  then i can't concentrate on the game!    :D

and aside from that...they do appear to bugger up my frame rate as well.  anyway...

(by the way, i was JOKING about the excitment over the sheep.  :rolleyes: )
