was my automation concept a bit of inspiration by any chance

gameplay > 60 fps

is it worth shooting for 60 fps if it plays like $%&*?

Sort of a dumb argument, the game will feel more responsive when running at 60 FPS, even if you have eyes like mine where you don't find 30 FPS upsetting. With 60 FPS you can open the AI up to becoming more responsive and having the ability to be able to react to things they might miss, and also opens up new abilities with the weapons such as new fire rates. In this day and age there isn't much of a reason to not be able to handle 60 FPS on most maps, unless you are playing SPV3 on integrated graphics.

Let me just link this last thing again:

It does not impair gameplay, in fact it will actually improve gameplay for a lot of people.

A lot of people are really distracted by the 30fps animations on any fps higher than 30.

Smoother animations means more immersion, more immersion means more focused player.

Double the ticks is double the percission so that improves gameplay too.

So, what are you even talking about, Nicky? The vid that started this topic?

What I mean is that if the project doesn't play very well, what is the point in trying to implement 60 fps?

For instance, I know that Sector 09 could have been a lot more that it is. I know that there is things that could / should be fixed, and I have a whole list of features that I wanted to implement. I also know that Sector 09 could handle the 60 fps and look amazing with a few tweaks to its model and light maps... but if I were to come back and revisit Sector 09, I would focus on fixing the smaller things and implementing the fun features to make it more fun to play. What I am getting at is that 60 fps isn't worth implementing if the thing you're building isn't fun. There are many projects that should focus on re-evaluating their game play and not trying to implement 60 fps.

As a creator of sorts, a ``proof of concept`` doesn't have to warrant its own standalone project. It's just for posterity.

Now that it's proven to be effective(and totally viable thanks to mos), people can make whatever they want with this technique. Simple

So basically you're trying to reiterate what is literal common sense to the people who actively work on projects with the ideology of having some semblance of balance. More accurately, you're trying to insinuate that everyone is stupid and will be more focused on presentation.

Its a method that you can implement if you want the game to play proper at higher framerates, which is completely optional. Your logic is so backwards that using it, i could argue that you should only use a single texture on the entirity of your map, and all your models be presented as boxes with words on them to tell you what they are. It'll push you to 100% focus on gameplay.

TLDR: If you dont want to use it, dont. Your ideology is backwards as hell.

>sees vidya discussion that isn't explicitly about gameplay

Nickster pulled a Nickster again...

Calm your tits dude, he was just expressing concerns about what should really matter in H:CE custom content, it doesn't seem that he is against 60fps just that in a usual scenario people have limited time and resource and they should be more focused on quality gameplay than having 60fps or fancy looking stuffs, if you have the time and resource for both then good for you...

He had literally no reason to say something like that if it he didn't had a stance against 60 fps mate

Nah, I didn't get inspiration for the programs design from here. It was simple in concept so I already knew how to go about writing it from the start. I'm in the process of making an update to mozz that allows you to set a flag in the config to have game_speed related tag fields display with a 60fps scale. I've already implemented the framework for it and applied it to a bunch of fields already, so I know it'll work. The only challenge now is for michelle, masterz, and possibly killa to get me a list of every field measured in time that must and must NOT be scaled and by how much. It'll prolly take me a day to implement all the changes once they have a comprehensive list for me.

Here's the location of the flag:


And here's a 30 fps assault rifle opened in guerilla alongside it opened in mozz(with 60 fps checked). As you can see, it's doubling the times for most of the fields now that the flag is set. I haven't set it to apply the scale to all the correct fields though, just ones that inherit from a couple base fields that I modified. That will come in time.

This is nonsense. 60 fps provides serious increases in visual fidelity and gameplay, more so than anything else you mentioned for your project.

Awesome work Moses. Glad our conversation last night led to this. Before, the idea of 60FPS was very questionable in terms of functionality and implementation. Moses has made the process trivial. With a few simple clicks anyone can have their tag set running at 60frames. Animations and all.

Actually no, mozz wont change tags that you open into 60 fps tags, it'll simply change any input you type in so it is scaled when saved to the tag, as well as descaling it when displaying it. If you have a tag set that is 30 fps, you'll still need to go in and change the correct fields for each tag by hand. This is mainly meant for those who wish to create 60fps tags from scratch, but cant be bothered to know exactly which fields to change. Maybe I can eventually write a convertor to change a set of tags into a 60 fps version, but idk.

Yeah I know. But it's still a good in my case and I'm sure many others. Being able to edit the 60FPS tags as if they are still 30 is a big help. It's worth creating the new tags especially for those who are going to be tweaking their tags while working on a big project.

Stop! you poor mindless peasant.343i has shown us 60fps cant improve bad gameplay at all, it just improves games that are good like bungie halo's. imagine Halo 3 on pc at 85fps.

this should be the end of it.

i have the vg48QE and hope 120-144hz becomes the standard. excluding the locked animations, moving around in ce is smooth and snappy



too bad you can't afford a monitor that supports over 15 hz

60FPS adds nothing to Halo's visual fidelity because the stock animations are 30FPS. Boosting those values doesn't add more information.



If you want better proof of why these new upgrades are necessary(despite these ridiculous claims xD ):

It's already been made easy to do with impunity. So too late to argue. ^_^

Makes interpolated 30FPS animations look twice as smooth(for them handicapped people who can't take 30+mblur without freaking out.)

You can store more information per second, compared to Halo's animations. Think convulsive-movements and ballerina. Impossible facial-emotions and body language that can't be portrayed with 30/25FPS Halo animation limits. Micromovements that aren't visible with lower framerates. It's up to the animator to use it wisely.

It's 2017 already. Which is a bad argument on its own, but consider the context: Even on submodern AND low end hardware, we've been able to push these framerates for well over a decade. It's simply time for Halo's engine limitations to take a look at a calender

120fps when?

gamespeed 4 and animations and values lowered even further?
Edited by MEGA_VKNG on Mar 25, 2017 at 11:29 PM

Possible, however the higher you want to go the more space animations are going to eat up. The math also becomes a lot more complicated and the gravity modifications made for game_speed 2 are already barely stable.

Cool any improvement is nice to see. Good job all.

When the physics don't stop functioning properly with that

Is 15fps playable?

Yeah but no one has figured out how to make their map do it yet, not even me. you should try making your maps play at 15 FPS.

Some parts of spv3 already are 15fps for me

as true as that may be, the combat feels infinitely snappier and more responsive. get yourself a 144hz 1ms response time monitor and everything will feel like effing butter.

as badly as the 30-locked animations stick out, it's hardly your last concern when you're trying to land shots.

lol what kind of old rag do you own? :o

You should see his mouse.

B40 anyone?

More like your crap job on portals for alpha base. At least that's what everyone complains to me about.

Yeah Jesse you smell.
I wanted to post one of them newer poop-emoticons, but halomaps doesn't support 'em.

I did notice halomaps emoticons have this really cool retro-text describing them though:
You've probably seen others use smilies before in email messages or other bulletin board posts. Smilies are keyboard characters used to convey an emotion, such as a smile or a frown . This bulletin board automatically converts certain text to a graphical representation when it is inserted between brackets []. Here are the smilies that are currently supported by Halo Maps Forum:

Ah the good old days when emoticons were fresh and new. And weren't called "emojis" yet by hipsters.
