i am trying to make a game with like 30 people onscreen at once and i have 2 questions
1 what is a realistic number fpsc could do
2 if i cut down the polys to below 100 would it be worth it like does the engine run in a way that that would make a difference? or would i be able to add like only one more guy

I think You can have 30 People onscreen a 200-500 polygons not more... Many entitys and building-segments are important for the speed as well...


I want to see a FPSC Professional! And lets make it REALLY expensive this time......

Good luck man. I'd have to belive a 300 poly person would look like a "rock'um'sock'um'robot". Unless the 30 people are on a level thats unaccessable and you cant get that close to them.

OK think about it like this too: people say like 7 dynamic characters max at one time in view. On average the FPSC chars are 2000 tris. Thats 14,000 dynamic tris and 7 scripts running these. If by some chance you can get a dynamic char down to 300, thats only 9000 dynamic tris minus any others you may have around. The problems going to the 30 scripts all running in this area. Somewhere in this forum Merrvano's talked about how bad FPSC deals with the scripts and how thats a major problem with the lag.

I could be mis-quoting Merrvano but I'd do some serious research prior to making 30 dynamic chars.

Maybe try some small item and make it a char like the statue is in that entity editor from TGC video.

personally i think a 300 to 400 poly character would be about as convencing as pong. but maybe if it were a small (very small) cat with only one ear, no tail, one eye, and keep its mouth closed so it doesnt let out any extra polys you may be ok lol lol. just kidding actually im kind of interested in seeing this character myself good luck.

Me too Inovator. I mean Bond and myself do fairly good low poly characters and were both still in the 12-1800 range for something pretty plain. Not sure where D13 rings in....but regardless, If ya have to few polys they don't bend worth a crap...to many binds the engine......it's a fine line to walk....

Anxious to see his solution...

just try to keep the models looking decent and as low poly as u can its always nice for the game to run fast unstead of stretching its limits. and ive got a story for u...



ok i play counter strike cz well ive noticed back a while ago that the guns looks wayyyyyy less detailed on the enemy and teammate and the ground.. yes it still has that nice texture that makes it look good. but what you could do is something like that have what the player is holding detailed as crap but everything else not. and as long as you do a wonderful texture job those low poly characters could turn out nicely i would also like to make characters for my games but i have no clue how to get them ingame it takes alot i guess for the animations...but u could help me there
