question for darth vader...

[Axe-Battler]

what kind of computer do you have!?! at least, i think this is a relevant question. I installed your mod using my new graphics card for the first time, and i could put the resolution to like
54353453 x 543534.... lol no but it was wicked high.. like 1750 x 1350 x 32 or something.
And your mod is the first one that i seem to be able to use High anti alisting, so i would imagine your computer is wicked good since this mod was made on your comp(at least i assume)??

Well the skins in his mod allow that. Try implenting other skins in there and you see the game start to lag. Just look at the Roman Skins. Not shiny, pretty rugged. Now go play SPQR and tell me the difference when you play on those high settings.

The techniques used in my mod allow approximatelly 25% better framerate than vanilla (The default version)
If you compare the median of other mods that are having mostly more lag than the default, then this is the reason you get so good framerates.
The fact that I have a hi-end Laptop (it was before 2-1/2) years ) which cannot compete the hi-end Desktops allowed me to test and optimise for low-end machines.

I could use easily the same techniques for M2TW...if I start to mod it.
And it is not only the skins-texture methods mentioned by Angel.
