Are there any plans to continue some of War_hero's work as a dev (namely removing the joint limit and increasing the limit of objects) on the next couple of Toribash releases?

Staff are first users and then staff. They will use the same show yourself thread if they want to show themselves. :/


For increasing limit of objects, I don't think it will be happening because of the said reasons in this thread:
http://forum.toribash.com/showthread...15#post5182415
Have no idea about joint limit, sorry.

What reasons? If what I quoted is true then the only reason would be he's work not being continued, and that's exactly what I asked.
I already knew about what happened when War_hero was working on it, what I asked was if he's work would be continued soon.

And about the joint limit, he already even pointed out what needed to be changed a couple of months ago, so the question stands for someone who is in position to answer it.

Not sure what you mean by joint limit, but the staff have their eyes set on a few developments, I'm currently one of the most active dev's on the games code, along with hampa. I of course can't tell you what I AM doing, but if you have ideas feel free to PM me, and I'll discuss them with hampa. Our first priority at the moment however is to get 4.0 through the doors, with some of the cool new features we have planned, so said cool new features take precedence over other things right now.

As for increasing object limit we don't want to total everyone's computers, but given that everything goes well on optimising the physics engine adding more objects is as simple as changing:
#define ENVOBJECT_LIMIT 16
to
#define ENVOBJECT_LIMIT some_other_number


[EDIT]
[14:02] <drbatman> Vox: what oblivion means is that umm.... when you play tb there's max amount of joint movements the game allows
[14:09] <drbatman> go over it and the replay will just be nothing
[14:18] <Vox> oh right
[14:25] <Vox> maximum number of edits to joints
[14:26] <Vox> thanks

Yea, we are working on that already actually.

Yeah that was me. There isn't much room for discussion when you simply post what your favorite this or that is.


Send him a love letter.

So, you're saying those threads are better suited for Rapid Threads board? Or theres no place on the forum for 'em?

They took off the thread were the actual stupid posts were posted.

Note* If this thread of have stayed there wouldn't be much useless posting in the other threads.

Toribash doesn't seem like a cutting-edge game.
Why is it so demanding in resources.

Why can't it handle much more stuff?

Curious Quesiton: is it because of your coding? or the engine?

No we're saying the thread's were shit & have no place anywhere. Offtopic's slowly becoming a slum due to low quality threads & posts, so we're going to fix it before you all turn it into a complete shithole.


^ Thus person talks sense.


It's because of the amount of physics & the engine for it. Everything in TB (excluding the UI) has physics calculations, thus machines with slow processors struggle with it.

Obviously changing the engine completely can't be done due to the large amount of users with machines that can't cope with the graphical side of it (thus are using old clients + patches), well not unless hampa decides he wants rid of half the players.

Will be there some super-duper-big-and-awesome events like "ponies vs. Llamas"?
