Move the world around the camera? Not sure if that's a good idea...

Actually, it would work in theory, but programming it would be very different and possibly more complicated, especially since you'll have to move the ground relative to the camera. Having the camera move around is a lot easier and it's worked well so far.

I doubt the program would run much smoother; for the most part the lag is just the insane amount of content in the world, which wouldn't decrease with the world moving around the camera.
Why would moving the world around the camera make smoother turns?

lol that's exactly what I was thinking.

I'm personally getting a bit over exited to see what artys doing with the Halo 2 game actually. I've always wanted to create a FPS with Alice but can never get the mouse aiming to work!

Yah, well.....join the club....

Anyway....I was dissapointed while making this game. I never thought it was good...from the start. Looks like I was right.

Please don't, I am frantically trying to reduce lag, but I can't promise good results - there is a lot of stuff in this world and it is hard to work with it all.

What I have done so far:
- Fixed the menu (as I said in posts above).
- Renamed a lot of objects as they had stupid names that didn't reference what they actually are.
- Made many groups and grouped a lot of objects so they are easier to work with.
- Extracted loads of textures and created min, low, mid and high res versions of them.
- Imported all these textures, applied the min res textures to everything and deleted the old textures.
- Created a Performance/Quality Settings screen.
- Implemented applying quality settings.

I'm not trying to brag when I say this, but my Addons have come in very handy. I used Texture Tools to save all the textures to file and I used Gloo to stick together loads of stuff. Gloo is also very handy for making groups (it works with that too), because when there are loads of objects the object tree is impractical, Gloo also alphabetically orders the objects, so that was easier.

Well I'm not personally exited about the game, I'm just exited about the concept and seeing the FPS come to life. Don't worry I'm not THAT exited about it

The reason the objects can't be renamed is after a certain size, my Alice always crashes if I rename. Thats odd but good. Thanks

It doesn't crash for me, as long as I don't play the world. I need to make lots of changes, save it and then check if its worked. Then I need to restart Alice.
