Missed the boat ey? only joking with ya.

I`ll try when ive got a we bit more time, when the Mr`s is a sleep with some alterations.

just want to see if they shaders are good to be included.

if some else can help me out on this score it would be perfect and i`l rep ya once a day for few days

And I PROMISE I WILL UPDATE THE FRONT PAGE
Hows that!!!!

Also forum if some wants the no mips i could do a low version pack? when compiling the final edit.
I guess this depends on Battle Scape texture i`m working on at the moment.

Anyhoo sorry for waffling on

Tell me and i shall do my best, just need a little bit of time

If a bunch of you want to work with on this, maybe a small group can work on it, so other can enjoy empires a little bit more, with out the demand at its present state.

Not bashing CA quite enjoy empires, just too demanding for me, and i love eye candy.
But i also enjoy sutter free game even more
( wish i had a job with them as a game adviser )
mmmmm sweet sweet candy..........................

Words from a diabetic go figure LOL

Any one noticed the new Bow waves rendering (SM3 high)?

Cant wait to get an I17Gt and what ever it takes to run Empires smooth and flawless, with system tweaks to improve and accumulate more CPU cycles to the game. with out going down the texture route, must look stunning .........

Thank you to those who responded.
I bought my system right before Empire came out. I watched the trailers and decided to go with the CPU that I did because Empire "Runs Great on i7". I am not the only one who has a problem with lag on a pretty good computer. I think that I'll wait and see if CA puts out some sort of multi-core optimization. From what I've read, Empire does not use all of the cores on an i7. In fact, I've snapped a screen shot of my CPU process and it only shows that one core is active and only at about 18%. Let me see if I can find it.
Don't get me wrong, Empire is playable now, a very good reason why I felt funny asking about this mod, but if I can play on higher settings then I'll give it a shot.

Oh yeah, I do not have anything running in the background or anything. I only go online for updates with the new rig. I really only bought it for gaming.

Thanks again for the mod and for the help.

Hi La De Da Brigadier Graham


if your Page file not static and windows uses manged, don't them they dictate to you

reset it to a static pagefile 4096-4096 min

static has less chance of fragmenting than managed, nothing worse than a fragmenting PageFile.

I`ll do DX report so you can see how much mine hogs, brb

Edit:




so, no windows, no nothing, should as stopped Detect Hardware shell, before exiting windows, after 5 memory defrags later before Steam boots up.

If you need to claw back some more video memory set desktop to 800X600 try to have little Very little short cut/icons, pref none, save on memory and cache on your desktop, reminds me got to do some house cleaning, reboot to start effect from cold, let Windows7 full load up, use AlacrityPC, works for Windows Xp,Vista and 7.

not bad 27 processes on Vista, should be 26. and you could set the priority to above normal,

i don't, any higher you will lose I/O devices like keyboard, mouse, joystick.

In me eyes (their not to good today lol), i would in layman's terms,

it all right having some buckets(normal cpu priority),
problem arises when a Really Big BUCKET was using more water than the others (empires above normal priority)
but doing this the other bucket are using smaller sizes for other jobs.
(keep with me CPU,GPU,RAM,North Bridge, South Bridge)

What i`m trying to say is other parts of you system will start to suffer, that why i don't use Above normal Priority,
If your going to do Internet games do not alter the priority,
you will suffer and cause lag on p2p network.well single CPU`s.

Multi core I think i would tho just to test...... but single cores noooooooooo IMO.
Sorry just lost track thinking about what to eat stomach is talking to me, purring like a small kitten purrr purrr.........

[♔KillZoneGB♔]

Can someone pls upload this to torrent?

Don't mind if some does.

better cancel your download, 1:10 left till finishing uploading the Final release version. with battle scape full converted to DXT5 (no resizing good gain with a different format) with mips.

First Page under construction

[Evile]

1:10 left till finishing uploading the Final release version

When you say 1:10 do you mean in hours? like 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Also, Is this compatible with smoke mod?

[ToonTotalWar]

killzoneGB - if you look at my post 195, i have uploaded a pic and you can see the officer with blue uniform has a white patch above the cuff on his arm mate?? any ideas??
