Hi,
I was just over at Tech Report reading about AMD's new Phenom-II processors, and saw a mention of particle testing. I've read that SoW will support multiple cores, so I thought I'd ask if there will be a similar implementation of particle processing in SoW. Here is a direct quote from the article: "This test runs a particle simulation inside of the Source engine. Most games today use particle systems to create effects like smoke, steam, and fire, but the realism and interactivity of those effects are limited by the available computing horsepower. Valve's particle system distributes the load across multiple CPU cores." For those interested, here's a link to the article; it's a test of the new AMD Phenom-II: http://techreport.com/articles.x/16147/5
I'm curious as to how such implementations of smoke and explosions may impact gaming smoothness (micro-stutters) in SoW. No harm trying to glean such info. Right?

PS: although not mentioned in the article, I believe clouds will be a performance-settings issue in SoW. So perhaps clouds fall into this particle-generating topic too?

Man you do indeed get around - or did you break your tether?

How's bout focussing your investigative skills on encouraging the next release of BOB -SOW?

If successful, and how would we ever know...you are welcome to some of my not currently used PC bits.

Spudley, you following me? I'm not real. I'm a virtual program that runs constantly, browsing the world wide web. I look for anything from the arcane to the mundane, and all sorts in between. Still, I wonder if SoW_BoB will's particle generation will benefit from multiple cores? I guess I'll have to "investigate and see what I can stir...er...drum up.

First of all, thank you for this latest update Sir.

I have but one question or should I say a suggestion.


Wil there be a possibility to, when someone is banned from the game for whatever reason (lets say attempted to cheat), to impliment a similar system that is used on America's Army and Call Of Duty (for example) - something like Punkbuster program. Which will then record that person who was banned and add his bann to the servers that have that same software. Practicly a shared database. So the person (cheater) can not join all other servers having the same protective software installed.


Now, I believe that SoW will be very hard to crack, if not impossible at all - but, just as a matter of precaution and a better security system for online gaming purposes.


Thanks for your time.

Greetings Oleg!

4.09 server release?
a.) yes
b.) no
c.) I was just joking

SoW BoB website and forums? when?

Dear User,
This auto post is automatically generated by a secret call center offshored in the way out east/west where we can excise some short term cost savings at the long term expense of our customers who are now jobless due to moving this service center offshore where we are excising some short term cost savings...

Please do not reply to this post. Your number of daily postings is closely to being exceeding. Thanks to you veddry much and we highly valu your bisyness. Do not loiter as there is nothing to be gleaned here.

If it takles us three years + to write/rewrite a programme we will not spend another full year attempting to maximize it's efficiencies each time the level of technology changes as it does every 6 months. We must make some basic assumptions when we commence programme writing and stick to it for the most part, otherwise we would never release a (hopefully) reasonably polished finished product. Thanks to you for calling sirs.

...a bot actually posing as me? I detect a thick hint of Pakistani accent and the odor of curry. Notice the Punjabi head sweeping whilst it posted the above post.

Again, it is amazing what these bots will try to pull off next!

PEACE
