Thanks for the poll toss. The reason I'm asking is to see if we can afford a few percent fps loss (not much, don't be afraid) for the purpose of better protection.
you can't afford fpsloss in any mod!

a mod should improve FPS not steal FPS
Parent
so, you would rather play with i.e. 80 fps than with 76 (5% loss), but protected better?
Parent
5% loss is way to much, max 1% or ur mod is shit

I would liek to be better protected, but since you can't get anycode from the ETpro team your mod is doomed to fail.

Don't think any comp ET player would like to play with zhe etnub hitboxes etc.
Parent
i gave an example, in reality it should be less than 5%

you can keep your 'mod is a failure' comments for yourself, poll question isn't 'is etace good or bad'
Parent
but I'm still free to announce my opinion

but why do you think your mod would steal my fps? because and don't have higher fps on non-PB servers so PB doesn't steal my FPS but also doesn't catch any real cheaters.

I'm not against ur mod, I realy think it's a good thing. But most players are used to the etpro hitboxes etc, and hate the etpub hitboxes (if you can call that hitboxes, more spreadboxes imo).

But then again I'll have to wait until ur finished to see if it is realy that shiity as I think it's going to be.
Parent
you didn't understand my question on the poll.
it's not if i think if it will 'steal' fps or not

we will either implement some security things for which we know will steal a couple of FPS, or we won't - it depends on poll results

oh btw, please don't compare PB to etace's anticheat. pb might be a commercial piece of software, pb devs might be getting payed for what they code, but that doesen't mean pb is doing great what they do (or better say, what they should do). i'm not saying that etace is something 'uber' either, but at least it does way more things than pb in order to catch/prevent cheaters - and some of the methods might 'steal' some fps
Parent
he's a retard.
Parent
Your poll should be something like "how much fps can your pc handle?".
Parent
depends on cfg /map to much.
Parent
But your hardware is the throttle.
Parent
get a decent pc and stfu, any good pc these days can get stable 500+ fps, and your whining about 5% of that? you won't notice any difference.
Parent
true, but still in my opinion a mod shouldn't decrease preformance.

And not everybody has the money to buy new hardware every year, and then lets not talk about the geeks who buy new hardware every 3 months.

My PC is 3 years old now and I can get 150 fps stable, so I wont notice it (I play with 71 fps). But the players with even older HW as me (like many of my friends) arent able to play with a stable 43 fps so if the preformance will drop down they will only get 30-35 fps.

You can't just say to everybody, who has a 1,5 GHz P4 and GF4 440MX, go buy new PC to play this 4,5 years old game.
Parent
i get only like 80 in some parts of gr and other maps with my pc... and according to my profile its decent enough for ET. So i would rather not get even worse fps
Parent
You just made the new poll!
Parent
I'd rather lose a bit of FPS for the sake of making ETACE cheat proof :P
Parent
Will you ban my ultra1337 private hax re-bought from kurbads? :(
Parent
lolz what happend to him? really miss his flaming on xfire :< beloved guy.
Parent
I can't afford any loss, sorry.
Parent
What is your opinion on the new released etbot which makes it possible to hack on every etace version? Or was the antihax not enabled?
Parent
public build of etace does absolutely nothing regarding cheats. showmatch was done to check the gameplay feeling on etace, not to demonstrate it's anticheat

author of etbot basically added support for just another version of etpub, which isn't hard at all
Parent
if i got no random fps drops it would be ok for me but not like it was after the last before the last pb update!!
Parent
don't steal my (little) fps pls :<
Parent
depends on the map
but why should they care?

like they are going to optimize everything for 125 fps or smth.
Have you got some kind of personal problem with ETAce or smth? All I ever see you do about it is whine, whine, whine...
Parent
just think it's stupid to use shity etpub stuff and that preformance will drop.
Parent
who the hell ever asked u to play the mod. SIMPLE just dont play it and stop ur fucking bullshit opinion. the mod isnt even out yet and u whine about it
Parent
he's prolly just afraid coz he cheats himself and doesn't want to get busted ;/
Parent
125 / 71
I honestly feel the mod is a waste of time if they don't link up with the etpro team
ye, because we want to make the mod of our own.Not with help of bani & crew.
Parent
gl then
i tested the first version
few minutes on a public server
didnt like it, kinda really strange feeling, weird fov etc
Parent
well it's not finished at all but we are always available via mIRC #et-ace and you can query the ops for some informations and you can also give them some advices if you really want to make it good or better. it depens on the community. one main task is that we gonna update it always so we can kinda put some new staff in the MOD.
Parent
Quoteweird fov


engine thingy..
Parent
etpro is dead.
they stopped coding and were arrogant cocks, who never gave out their source code.
Parent
i remember the #etpromo time
we had so many good ideas :/
Parent
Why are they arrogant cocks?
Parent
As Swine said: not sharing their source, keeping ETpro as their won little mod, giving cocky replies to ppl like dersaidin, madscientist and ogrec on the baniforums.
Parent
Because that's what the community deserved. :P
Parent
keep on loling.
i think a promod should improve the game and not destroy it, like etpro did.
Parent
Yeah, and etpro destroyed ET.

The coders on your team OTOH, have always been trying to save ET, for example by giving away cheats and cheat code, since everyone knows undetected multihacks are essential to the survival of a competitive game

If you are looking for people to blame for the "death" of et, I'd suggest you need to look a little closer to home.

If you stop and think, you might get an idea why many of us aren't taking your effort seriously. You can change this by producing actual results, although your attitude and choice of company certainly set the bar higher than it needed to be.
Parent
im not part of that new coder team and i never blamed etpro completly for et's death...but you did a good work with destroying it.
antilag for example...
Parent
everyone can own with antilag, 1 hs without antilag = 3 hs with antilag.. but they never admitted that antilag gave an advantage.
Parent
Quoteeveryone can own with antilag

This is quite demonstrably bullshit. If it were true, there'd be no difference between skilled players and unskilled players with antilag enabled.

If anything, antilag raises the difference between good aimers and bad aimers, because connection is less of a factor.
Parent
Now I LOLed, too.
Parent
Pro mode was fine until they started messing with rate etc.
NQ is teh pwn for getting other teams pistols (1 good thing bout CS).
Parent
Im sorry swine, but you are a fucking hilarious! :D If not etpro there wouldnt be ettv, id like to see how long et survives then. And even now, with this etace, they need ettv, it would be hilarious if ettv would be made so that it doesnt work on other mods. haha
Parent
Agreed, from the beginning everyone shouted it. The day etace version 1 gets released we are sent back to the stoneage, etpro 1.2 or something. Only advantage they have is profit from etpub bugfixes.

Ow why don't they implement the shrubmod? Endless xpsave! It's all in the code!
Parent
100 ofc

dunno why people are using other fps than 100, normally most pc's should get that
71 for less recoil might be understandable
but 76/125 for better jumping is just senseless with b_fixedphysics/FPS
100fps & 100hz tearing 125fps & 120hz or 125hz not much tearing
thats why
Parent
yes, if i set 100fps and 100hz my screen is fucked up but if i set 100fps and 120/140hz ist good
Parent
because 125/100 is more unhittable than 100/100, also what about people with 100+hz monitors?
Parent
Disagreed, b_fixedphysics is just an approach of reality... in fact its better to have 125 fps than b_fixedphysicsfps 125 and 76fps. Besides you have an other mouse feeling at different fps values.
Parent
ah ok
thats also why i own more in cod2 with 100fps than with 250fps? cuz the mouse is different? i tried 250fps, should be the best for cod2, but im not so good with it
Parent
how long did you played with it?
Parent
as if i could control that :D
Voted 70-100, which is in average; it sometimes drop to something lower than 50 though.
What a shit computer meight.
Parent
Yup.

It's been like that since the pnkbstrA and B thingy.
Parent
30 on grush, 50-70 on other maps.
100 because of my monitor refresh rate... however i could paly @ 125 without any drops
Playing with average of 70fps. As few already mentioned, it depends on maps. Radar = ~40 (on field), braundorf = stable 125 everywhere.
50-70 at supply

35-40 at radar ;(
100 stable.
10-30 on radar

26 FPS stable outside the bank on goldrush

40-76 FPS on B4 , Supply

And some random fps' on all others :(
71 and the head shots are guaranteed
100 - 10 - 20 - 30 - 100 - 76 - 20

drops all the time
it all depends on the punkbuster and since etace aint gonna use it, then it's already gonna give a lots of perfomance boost.
got 76 max fps.. my computer can have liek 150 but with drops... sometimes its drop from the 76 but not much..
125 stable :> can get up to 200 stable
43 for trickjumping and 69. also 80 and 70 for fragging since my pc is crap.
125 in all maps... 71 with pistol... and 125 is haning by a thread on a few maps (its not stable in some spots!)... so NO I do not want more protection and less fps... I want more of both!
before the punkbuster update 125
since the pnkbstra & pnkbstrb ive unstable 125
same here, drops to 60
Parent
76 or 90, depending on map
125 steady all maps..
Could've been 333, if not CB had limited it. :<
if u aint using PB, feel free to eat some fps: we'll get more in total anyway
goal of etace isn't to replace punkbuster, but to add a better protection on many things pb doesen't check
Parent
so pnkbstrb.exe will still be there?
Parent
like with every other mod, you will be able to run server with or without punkbuster. our anticheat doesen't cause problems to pb, and pb doesen't cause problems to our ac. they can both run at the same time
Parent
try to make it go with pb? it's causing huge amount of fpslags and drops.
Parent
trying to have 125... ofc it isn't stable always (especially with pbB). But are u going to use pb at all? if not, feel free to eat some fps
With that pc in your profile, you should have stable 300 with antialiasing on max...
Parent
still I get drops like on supply 100-125, it's just all because of PBB, and if I set ET to high priority, it helps, but the mouse movement feels different...
Parent
PC @ my profile - hard to get stable 76 fps :(.
Btw, nice guitar, I am buying fender telecaster next week ;P.
Parent
kinda similar setup idd, but your gfx is better

hf with your fender :)
Parent
50-100 :E
take all the fps you want.
125-200,useally limited to 125 in server configs..
i could buy a pc for only 200 euro and get over 100 fps, cry me a river about your poorness
i recommend to set fps same as display refresh. it will make the game run smoother, but i dont know what type of monitor are u using or how good your pc is. so try experimenting. try to get stable fps otherwise u will just fuck up your sensitivity cos smaller fps will slower your sens, higher fps will make them like normal as they are. well i'm not really talking to go out a buy a new pc i know what is like to play wit 15fps all the time, but seeing the prices now it isnt really a big pain in the wallet to buy a decent pc to run et on 76 fps or higher.
125 in every map and everywhere
90 fps ftw
5-100 depends map
3) because my pc sucks hard!
100 / 71
71 best fps ever
capped at 43, 20 on radar.
125 cause 333 isn't allowed in most configs :<
5-40 fps -_-
71 fps
and 52 on radar :(
how about fixing usbhz and fps related spread. and make a headshot not count for full when shot from behind.
125fps@120hz
make a headshot not count for full when shot from behind.
:XDD
Parent
oops i meant first headshot
Parent
it's still ridiculous tho.
Parent
not if you need 2 mouse sweeps to do a 180
Parent
yes, it still is.
Parent
would be ridiculous to me too if i was a fintard and had the skill of a uber laggy conection to help me not getting hit in z head till i turn around ;_)
Parent
finnish + laggy connection?
Parent
lowsenser fail :(
Parent
low sens low fov 125fps 126hz 125 usb hz= acc 40+ always 3h3h3h
Parent
only on maps like braundorf maybe where u dont need to turn around often :p
Parent
on all maps, you just need to have a fast arm and a huge mouse mat. (if you cant get displayrefresh 100+ you wont understand)
Parent
com_maxfps 100
125 fps anywhere anytime
np4me. maxfps 71 here, but my hardware could make much more so no problem if there's a decrease of 10 fps.
50-70 atm cause of very bad camputer

stable 76 soon after upgrade. (cause of LCD monitor)
i can get 125+ but i locked it at 76
Wrong question. It's how much your PC can handle, not how much FPS you play. My PC can handle 200 FPS but I'm playing with 76.
I can have 333 on majority of maps but im playing @ 125, and 76 for luger/colt
take all the fps u want :P but fix the hitboxes
if FPS<125
then /quit
35fps, np!
com_maxfps 125/r_displayrefresh 120, 125fps on all maps all the time.
76 still, even in fact that i could get 125 ;e
a tight 100 with vsync on, on every map. I tried out 1600x1200 for a while, but it was a bit harder to aim well, actually; so I went back to the old-but-faithful 1024x768.
20-50, when someone shoots at me - 10
Capped at 75 since my monitor can only handle 75hz, but can easily achieve 125+ stable.
[whine]Used to play at almost stable 83, now I play with 45-83, thanks to PnkbstrB.exe[/whine]
100 fps 100hz
Capped at 125. Doing about 600+ at 1280 x 1024 but that causes lag on most servers.
90fps @ all maps
sometimes around 100-120 but mostly 60-70
im in the fuckin 5 percent
retarded poll

i fall into two catagories yet my fps doesn't change EVER

sooo please l2make polls
I play ET:QW with 60 fps limit
at firdt 125...later 100... after 1 hour stable 75
I dont like to look my fps
I have the same pc almost 4 years
more stupid mod's to ET , yeah make et dead by moving some ppl to ace and some staying @ etpro .. GREAT IDEA !! That would be nice ET dEAd
thats why we all need to move on from pro.
Parent
why would anyone want to use a already dead mod?
Parent
Why is the mod dead?
Parent
Well, if the mod can really guarantee more safeness against Cheaters and the gameplay is good enough for competition, the leagues/cups/ladders should force their players to play it and nearly everyone will switch.
Parent
125, if I can't get 125 stable fps in et ace I can tell you right now I won't play the mod, but best of luck to you guys hope it all works well!
76 because that's how i'm used to it, lol
LOL i avergae around 30
besides the fact that i don't play anymore:
i'd get around 110, but since it's not stable for me upthere and my monitore refreshrate is 75hz i capped my fps at 76...
com_maxfps 76

i've got it on braun and sply

other maps i have under 50
stable 30, when looking on wall
why they ask for that.. make it more interresting... the FPS in np :)
(150+ cough!)
supply 70 - 125

sw_goldrush 30 - 125
Trying com_maxfps 100 now, used to play with 76. :)
125 all maps ;o
good computer or low graphics ? xD
Parent
Decent computer with low graphics.
Parent
no fps loss allowed, its too warpy today, dont make it worse.

tbh 125fps almost stable
but reallook is like 76
14 - 76 fps, but i got this because of this new punkbuster shit ! Normally i had like 60 on supply or more and radar was only a nightmare. Now every map became a night mare for me :(
wil you release the mod before cdc4?
I don`t have much clue about that thing, but is ur mod still based on pb?
I'm repeating this for 1000th time:

Just like with any other mod, punkbuster is optional thing for server admins. ETACE won't force you to neither use or not use punkbuster, it's up to server admins to leave it enabled or disable it.[/u][/i]

However, if you want my personal opinion: If I ever get my own server, I will run it with etace and with no punkbuster.
Parent
Well, pb causes much fps loss afaik . I have nearly the double amount of fps without punkbuster. So I think 5 per cent or even more doesn`t matter. Or did u include it already?

And sorry to annoy you, I didn`t check the project detailed yet.
