http://download.lavadomefive.com/faibanx3d/demo01.exe Well, it is a day late, and it's really nothing much at all, but I do want to test out how well this game engine and the physics engine works for everyone. It doesn't even have any macro content...it's a human ragdoll wearing a LD5 t-shirt...a 'victim'.  You can toss him around with the right mouse button. This app is a DirectX 9 app, so you will have to have that version to run...or at least, so I'm told. Right now it's fixed to run in an 800x600 window. The link above is a self-extracting RAR archive...only two files, the EXE and a DLL in a directory. Just run the EXE, and make sure the DLL is sittin' there with it. The DLL handles the physics stuff. So I'm interested in very simple feedback. Does it work? Does it not work? What FPS do you get with one ragdoll at idle? How about five, or ten? If we don't get a huge chorus of people saying it just doesn't work, it's time to look at different graphics engines. -------------------------------

What FPS do you get with one ragdoll at idle?
About 60.
How about five, or ten?
11 FPS with 5, 1 with 10.
Does it work?
Yes, Yes it does.

I have no problems running at all, the only drop i had was when spawning more than 6 ragdolls at once from a top down view. the view works nicely on all angles, and i never noticed a drop below 64 fps, at all settings provided. (except noted above) My system specs that have relevance, i guess. Pentium 4 2.66 ghtz, 128 mb radeon 9800 pro (agp 8x card), 512 mb ram, dell flat panel monitor. hope this helps.

In idle i get 66 on my old trusty yet atm totally messed up 98SE, 2.4Ghz.
Having more (moving or not) dolls does not really seem to affect that, unless they touch each other. Achieving that by spawning them into each other while they fall, i can get fps down to 16 with 5, and 5 with 10 of the funky t-shirt wearers.

Wow... that was way more fun than it should've been...
That really reminded me of Black and White [next edition comes out in March of next year!!!]... I was thinking "villager" the whole time as opposed to "victim."
You probably noticed that they go a little crazy when you sling them full-force into the ground, but I don't imagine that'll happen too much ingame.
Okay, sorry, on with the diagnostics...
1 peasant idling: 66 fps
10 peasants idling: 48 fps
20 peasants idling: 26 fps
30 peasants idling: 3 fps
...
I was going to take a screenshot just to show that I wasn't lying but Camtasia crashed the demo... figures.... Open GL and/or DirectX conflicts are usually a lot uglier.
Anyway, it works really well and I'm totally enthuzed to see what's next, Dino.
Something more important than Patch's sentiments: SAVE the goddamned INTERNET! |

You know, I have a knack for find glitches in games when they first come out, and this is no surpise, so sorry. I found it fun, though when you make a slight jerk witht he mouse or so while tugigng him, or let him fall on a limb and put it out a place (which is easy with the ragdoll system), the victim begins shaking around like a seizure all out of control like.
I had to try it when you said spoogefest, and spoogefest is what it seems to be in the future. Plesue keep it coming along.Literature is like the penis, vital to have and fu |

Well, I tried it out, it worked alright, with 1 ragdoll it stayed at 65fps, more than 1 it started to drop. At 5 it was down to 24 FPS, and at 10 it went down to a whopping 3 FPS.
System specs are AMD Athlon XP 3200, 1GB OCZ CAS2 RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 XT. |

Fun Fun Fun
Just tossin' round the ragdoll is freaky fun....

Didn't keep track of my FPS tho' was havein' too much fun....
But it ran just fine with a few ragdolls on the field....

In hopes of this project coming out more hardware friendly [ie. less sys reqs], I'll post my results
1 guy - 58fps
5 guys - 33fps
10 guys - 4fps, and a Vishnu variant that had 10 arms
20 guys - No. Just no. Not gonna happen.
Compy:
P3@933
RAM - 384MB
VRAM - 16MB
OS - WinME, the bastard son of Win98
Welp, I hope I can run this when it's done!
Edit: Oh, hey! I found some problems!
Unable to cleanly exit. Always crashes at some point durring exiting.
The ragdoll physics usually end up more epilleptic if the man is held while moving the mouse for more than a few seconds. From there, letting go either shoots him off the platform leading to a crash, or he falls normal, and upon hitting the ground either getting stuck, or shooting off the platform.---- The greatest power of all powers is the power of the Powersword |

Always knew i didn't belong in this world. I wasn't made for this. But I'll never forget- those who betrayed me, and those who never failed my trust. I'll be carrying nothing but this lesson: never trust anyone and rely on your instincts. Forget the past. I'll never find peace here. So, I'll seek justice for myself. I'll choose the truth I like.
