Nachimir, I think you tried to register for the Pearman Forum but used your microsith email so the password details got bounced back to me... what email are you using these days?

[Nachimir]

Yes, microsith is back up, and I can access my inbox. The guy who runs it messed up his domain name renewal. It should be working...

Aw, nuts. :(

Could you resend the reg info to nachimir@subdimension.com, or will the name "Nachimir" be forever more beyond reach on that forum?

It is indeed the precipitation generators slowing things down, I deleted them and the map only chugs on my 500 during some fights.

There's some bug - I guess it's a UT bug tho - when I want to access Pearman by switching the game from UT to Pearman, it says the game mode is Pearman, but it still shows the old maps. It's possible to chose them (dunno what happens if you try to play them tho), but when you try to access the maplist, UT crashes and I get a nice critical error. If I restart the game, everything seems alright and I can choose the Pearman maps. The same thing happens the other way round tho... am I the only one who had this problem? :confused:

I only played it for a few minutes by now... the sheep are nice :) tho only a few of them explode as it seems, even if I hit them. Also, I didn't really get why I was able to hurt myself by hitting the floor or the walls in front me with my arms. A big problem was the frame rate tho, even in lower poly areas; dunno why it seemed that bad, maybe the snow effect? Anyway, I'll try it again later... good to see some stuff that's really totally different from the usual UT maps.

[Silus_of_Earth]

Thnks for the feedback, guys. Inevitably, there will be some bugs.

I think we're going to do a version of the Single Player minus the snow for people to play on slower machines.

Which one of the DM maps is slow?

[Silus_of_Earth]

Oh yeah, I'm guessing the hand thing is, well, you go and punch the walls and floor IRL, and get back to me :)

Btw, I just played it again for a short time... nice summer / winter change idea :) But it seems like I was wrong, it still ran bad at summer time (= without any snow effects); I still don't get why it should run like that, maybe because of some of the "advanced models", or something else of the new stuff?

We have superb fist code, borrowed from the Marathon|Rampancy guys now... just waiting for the model's animations to be finished (which is why you've not seen it yet, Silus)
