TRUE PARALLAX THEORY !!!!!!! - Deu sex - 09-19-2010
This is for Thomas, the programmer of the game.
After spending much and much time tweaking the game with the true parallax on, I think I have founded the source of the lag problem.
Its only a theory, but I think its about the ambient lightning in the game.
Because for all the "storage level" you know, its says than the dakness is not normal, it represents ambient light off in fact, right ?
I say that, because during all the "storage level", the true parallax occlusion mapping effect... doesnt lag, at all.
I will modify maps in the level editor to switch off ambient lightning in maps where it was lagging, and save them, and see if it is really the source of the problem.
I will be back here soon ^^

I am actually searshing the source of the problem, its not about ambient lightning, but there is something in the storage level... something different from the other levels... and I will find this.
I CAN MAKE IT ^^
lol
......
its really difficult...

its too difficult, really...
actually I am just testing all maps to see witch doesnt lag and try to find the resemblance...
I will list here maps who doesnt lag with true POM on :
-wine cave
-laboratory
-raffinery
I am sleeping now, i will continue this tomorrow.

There's lag in this game? I guess my computer can handle it. I didn't come across even the slightest bit of lag anywhere in the entire game.

That"S becuz POM is set to off ...
The file that must be edit is (in my case) in :
USERNAME-DOCUMENTS-AMNESIA-MAIN-main_settings
you have to change parallax quality to 1 instead of the standard 0.
Watch this thread for more info/instructions/pics difference , etc...

.... after you"ve edit the line , you can enjoy the LAG (unless you have a monter pc).
RE: TRUE PARALLAX THEORY !!!!!!! - RoyaleBeast - 09-20-2010
its the refraction you have on in the games options. turn it off. i had no lag for the first 2 chapters but the 3rd i did because more textures with higher refraction making me lag. or maybe i misunderstood what your looking for
RE: TRUE PARALLAX THEORY !!!!!!! - Deu sex - 09-20-2010
thank you for the idea, but its not about refraction, because i have already tested parallax only, with all efects off, low textures, and 640*480 resolution, and it lags too ^^
Its not an effect problem, its something, something set in the map files...
AND I WILL FIND IT OUT !!!
(I hope so...
)
okay, i founded its about texture, some textures dont support POM shaders.
I cant do anyting about it, im sorry.
RE: TRUE PARALLAX THEORY !!!!!!! - CHANCEPHOENIX - 09-21-2010
oh well , even without pom on it still looks great in motion
RE: TRUE PARALLAX THEORY !!!!!!! - Deu sex - 09-21-2010
thats true ^^
