Default Update 7-26 - 07-26-2010, 10:09 AM

I added a new weapon: the FN P90!
Pros: Low recoil, possibly lower than the M4. High mag capacity, can fit 50 rounds. High range, reaches out to 175 meters. High fire rate
Cons: Relatively slow reload. Low damage, 4-5 hit kill.

ULTRA CON: LAGS THE ENTIRE GAME!!!
I'll have to see what I can do about the lag. Any suggestions would be welcome. BTW the polygonal count is 28,000. Too much or no?

This might be the last weapon I add to the game. So now, 5 weapons total.

Edit: The lag actually isn't that bad. I think it might run a just a little bit worse though.

I actually have quite few loops, I have more 'while' events. At this point, I'm blaming it on too many polygons, since whenever I face away from where there are a lot of objects, everything runs really smoothly.

BTW, I'll start posting the updates on a new post, so don't look back to the first post (or close to first) for the new updates.

@jedi: Hmm, you've almost got 2,000 posts! Just a little longer!

Edit: Over 2,000! Congrats!

Here's the world with the P90:
It still utilizes the number system, and I'm working on changing it to the 2-slot system (sorry jedi, that option seems to be more popular)

Anyway, while loops will make your game go slower to you know

Edit: Well, I have to use one of them, so thank you very much for that meaningful comment.
Just kiddin', but I really do think it's too many polygons. It doesn't lag very much for me anymore, but I understand you should keep the limit to 40,000, and I'm getting close...

Well, of course. I'm still working on other things. Once you get one enemy's methods and events down, you can easily (still time-consuming though) duplicate that. For the moment, the current enemy can't walk or move, so it'll be some time before more enemies come into play (don't worry, they'll definitely come).
