Quote from Yellow :but if you have the money i would suggest getting a better video card

the card can cope with lfs just about fine. i would replace the cpu as priority

Quote from zoolpool :MORE INFO:
I have the graphics etc set-up like they are with the original download. my frames are around 11-33 on blackwood in the v8 with a clear track. if i enter the other ai drivers though it drops to 1-2 which makes it impossible to drive.

in multiplayer it is usually around 10-18 unless lots of people are in the same place, such as banger racing, where it drops again to 1 or 2

zoolpool

turn down maximum texture size and turn on use half textures.

just tweak the settings in the graphics menu

Quote from the_angry_angel :Last time I installed the full thing it killed LFS for some reason.

most liekly had it in debug mode.

i sugest more ram. the celeron wont be helping matters either.

also, options -> misc -> minimum sleep. what value is that?

oh i see how your doing it now

but doing it that way, what if they dont make the buffer big enough?

other then that i *guess* using buffers is the only viable solution (but a messy one )

i dont really have a clue about vb either

the thing about using pure buffers is you will have to document the format of the buffer (what items are in what order and for what length). i dont know about you but i sure hate writing documents

and it will make more work for the end developer

eg

[copy buffer into local memory]
Move(@dest, @buffer[byte offset], length); (for some reason they named a copy procedure as move)

^^ repeat for every value

the only way i can think of at the moment to avoid the horrible buffers is to have a million and 1 structs.

for example

bool lfsw_version(char *buffer, unsigned int buffersize);

(delphi)
type
PLfswVersion = ^TLfswVersion;
TLfswVersion = Record
magor: int;
minor: int;
whatever: array[0..9] of char;
end;

function lfsw_version(): PLfswVerson;


that *should* translate into c/++ nicely

ill think of a better way tomorrow

or they would have named it black and white 2

you can return structs. but im not sure it will cope with passing classes back. instead of passing the class, pass a pointer to it (vb *can* do pointers)

if your aiming for it to be cross language then keep it as a dll

from experiance, delphi plays best with c DLLs if there made using cdecl

Quote from JordanB :I think GTA:SA PC is one example of this, while the previous versions had MP3 specific licenses, SA will just play any audio format that you have a generic windows/directshow codec for - including ogg, flac, wav, mp3, mp4, etc.

rockstar games have a license

Quote from nike23 :Its not running off of root and is VERY stable.

so your launching it with php commands?

im just trying to figure out the best way to launch the servers. (at the moment launching with php but if php or apache goes down, so do all the servers)
