ZombieMod: Source An HL2DM Modification http://www.fpsbanana.com/games/1319 http://www.fpsbanana.com/clubs/629 Hey everyone. I'm starting development on ZM:S, which will attempt to duplicate ZombieMod for CS:S and make it its own, independent modification for Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. It will take a lot of hard work, seeing as I plan to code the entire thing myself, but it's been on my mind ever since I starting playing ZombieMod, and now that I know how to code, I think it is time. For the full article, please click the link below. http://www.zombiemod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3475

Sounds like an agenda! I'll see what funds I can scrap together to support the cause.

Nor I, really. I'd be great if someone could explain what's happening here.

:date: But I love you.

Congrats everyone. Hope to see a lot from you.

Hehe...yup. I fixed them too like on the escape servers, so they're all working.

Crazy idea, isn't it? Well, I've made a server. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but just get it out there to as many people as possible without disturbing the peace. You can find all the information you'd like on my website, as I don't feel comfortable posting it here for everyone to gander at and get mad at me for (lol): http://ech0-gaming.com/ This doesn't in any way mean I'm done with this community. In fact, I think I'll be around more to maintain the ones here than my own, and so I encourage everyone to play on the ZombieMurder servers. It's just that I believed it was about time to get back into the business and see what happens. So, if all the ZombieMurder servers are full, and you'll looking for boatescape, stop on by and you'll be more than welcome. Oh, and while you're on the website, click on the ads. lol

Sent a PM. Happy Birthday. lol

I'd love GIF avatars. Mine is actually animated. lol

Indeed. Have a good one, guys.

I do.

Operating System: Windows Vista Home Basic (cheapest ) Processor: AMD 64 Athlon X2 5600+ Memory: 2046MB RAM Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT XXX (256MB ; 620 Core Clock) Manufacturer: NVIDIA/XFX Chip type: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT It wasn't my idea to get Vista. After a month of trial and error, I came to the conclusion my hardware/drivers weren't working with XP, and in order to fix the issue, I had to install Vista drivers, but naturally I'd need Vista to install Vista drivers. Trust me, I hate Vista just as much as the next guy, but I'm slowly getting use to it. Still annoying, though. lol So yeah, she's running just fine. The worst frames I've gotten in CS:S have been around 30, but that's granted for any ZombieMod server. I plan to sell off this card and get an 8800 model by chipping in for the holidays, and by then the cards might be a bit cheaper, too.

Wasn't aware of your situation. You'll be fine, then.

I'm not trying to get into a debate. I'm trying to help someone, and that's it. If you're looking for some sort of "tech-off", I'm not your man. This is pretty useful: http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=918&model2=883&chart=435 It's not what I'm basing my claims off of, and I'm plenty aware that both models can be overclocked, but that E2160 model is closest to the E2180 that they had available. It'll give you a general idea of what a processor will perform at, but in no way should be the only resource that makes up one's mind regarding these types of matters.

IPS are not the only factor in buying a processor, and neither is speed. This conversation is going no where fast, as it's impossible to rule either company victorious. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Saying either one is superior as a company or compared to a company's product is sheer insanity. EDIT: You've got to stop editing your comments. It makes me look like an idiot, unless that's what you're going for. lol

He'll be fine, I didn't say he wouldn't be, but it won't be as fast. lol Yes, generally Intel is faster... Mid-End Intel Processor vs. Mid-End AMD Processor = Intel Wins. Low-End Intel Processor vs. Mid/High-End AMD Processor = AMD Wins. This is pretty general knowledge. I don't want to get into an argument, so I'm done. Just trying to help, although you've already bought the machine. EDIT: I'm unsure if a 3.2 D will run faster than a 2.0 C2D. It should, I suppose.

edit: See Next Post...

While I disagree with the claims about AMD processors, it is your decision, Haggard. I know that the speed of the processor means little these days, and that in most cases Intel is the way to go, but the point is there's plenty of reviews out there about the Intel processor you picked out and it comparison to the AMD model you chose originally; it doesn't compare. Once again, you're decision entirely, and who you decide to trust is up to you. All I'm saying is that the model you have now isn't going to be as fast as the model you picked originally, period - in my opinion. And by the way, check your PMs when you have the chance. ^_^

That processor is terrible for a dual-core. Why the hell would he want that? It's about 2/3 the speed of the AMD he had originally.

The AMD processor was a hell of a lot better than the Intel one you have picked out here.

It has nothing to do with the engine. It's the fact that in multiplayer, there's 2x the things your computer is required to render that it doesn't have to in any singleplayer game. One major difference, and major cause for poor FPS, is client animation, which measures and attempts to calculate and predict other players' movements and what they look like in real-time and about one frame for every second before it actually occurs. This can lower FPS by as much as 50%, and you can only blame the Source engine as a whole for that.

Performance configs, like Casey's Config 2.0 and that stuff. It's not exactly pretty, but it works.
