General Discussion / Re: Blockland Fall Damage Glitch

Probably a rounding error due to the server tickrate. Correct me if I'm wrong in thinking this, but it seems similar to bounces in source jumping. There's a similar phenomena with bhopping as well, where you can do it on a surface with a 1hu teleport without using an explosive.

I doubt it's worth it. SSB4 is gonna suck.

oh

that's unfortunately a deal breaker for me. I have a game and school that both require disk drives. :(
get an external one

It's their opinion but apparently he's had experience with this AMD processor and said he's had no trouble running modern games.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that the 4350 will have trouble either, he's only owned the one. Since you're buying your parts new, and you have the opportunity to buy the one that represents the best value for your money, why not figure it out before you actually buy your parts

While tomshardware is a reputable site, their forums are pretty much trash. This thread is far from the worst I've seen, but it's literally just someone's opinion on the forum, with their assertion that you can overclock, which is a different beast. Sad to say, this is your strongest source.

This literally tells you nothing useful. Unless of course you can quantify the use of some more L2 cache for your specific cpu workloads

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-FX-6300-vs-AMD-FX-
This one still ranks higher, barely. ^
EUGH. Similar to the one rykuta linked, sites like this compare on-paper specs and synthetic benchmarks as well as other bullstuff factors that don't even have linear relationships with performance (see clockspeed, core count, etc).

http://www.game-debate.com/cpu/index.php?pid=1862&pid2=1146&compare=fx-4350-vs-fx-6300
Same as above

I'm not saying tokthree is right because I actually don't know that much about AMD processors in terms of performance (even though he probably is), I'm just saying your sources prove nothing.

Pay no attention to naysayers, Passmark/Benchmark is plenty accurate and will provide you with fairly accurate comparisons between products. If the comparison numbers are really close together, then that's the point in which you should go in and do your own comprehensive brown townysis, this is a service that is best used to narrow down your product search.
Except no, because passmark is not very accurate. For the sake of utmost transparency, I'll state first that we're only talking about gaming. If you buy a gaming video card for the purpose of not gaming, you are doing it wrong. Passmark is a synthetic benchmark, which means it stresses different configurations of hardware architectures in a way that it sees fit, then assigns each piece of hardware an arbitrary score. Believe it or not, the best way to determine which gaming video card is best for video gaming, is by benchmarking with video games and not synthetic benchmarks.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-295x2-review-benchmark-performance,3799-4.html
Here are a bunch of video game benchmarks between the 295X2 and TWO 780 ti's. If you look through, you'll see that the pair of 780ti's narrowly beats the 295X2 at 2560x1440 a little over half of the time, and then loses to the 295X2 in almost all of the 3840x2160p by anywhere from a narrow margin to a 10fps difference.

That's TWO 780ti's which trades blows with a single 295X2. In case you have delusions that a single 780ti can do the same amount of work as two, here's a separate article with more benchmark numbers for the 780ti on its own:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-780-ti-review-benchmarks,3663-3.html

If the comparison numbers are really close together, then that's the point in which you should go in and do your own comprehensive brown townysis, this is a service that is best used to narrow down your product search.
Well that's the loving problem, the passmark charts show a single 780ti vastly beating a 295X2. That's not close. Anyone who reads those charts and doesn't know better will think that a single 780ti is vastly better than a 295X2 in raw performance, on account that it wins by over a thousand points

In summary:
1) you are wrong
2) passmark does not paint an accurate picture of gaming video card benchmarks

Ranks every piece of hardware ever made on performance by comparison to all others in a huge litany of tests. Use this when comparing to see how much better certain products are VS others and then compare the prices on your own to pick the ones you like most.
Except that those charts aren't accurate... They said something about a bunch of tests, but I'm pretty sure it's just many iterations of passmark. Right off of the bat, a 295x2 is way better than a single 780ti, there's a reason it costs twice as much. Other people have said the same as I have, it's just not accurate in terms of general performance, considering you should never accept a single benchmark result as an all-encompassing result.

ok i only just realized that FoV has been patch capped at 90 and it's pissing me the hell off, i feel like i'm running into my screen all the time.
It's been capped at 90... unless you mean weapon fov

They need to get on some rudimentary programming system, sort of like Blockland events that lets me do cool stuff with my base.

Personally, I really want asteroid fighting drones circling my base.
p sure that was confirmed to be a major interest for the devs
There was something posted somewhere by one of them about their thoughts on how such a system would work

How to be productive:

Step 1: post on blockland forums
Step 2: i'll write this step in later

It could still take up to a week to get all the rendering done based on how much they have to do (and we don't even know if these are the final renders), so don't get too hype until you actually see it posted

Dunno about that nf... Cooling is always a pain in an enclosed space, especially if it's that small. Might be worth cutting through that back panel for exhaust

also if you're making an engine specifically for a game you're probably going about it the wrong way

it's kinda universally better (coding practice-wise and application-wise) if you design it broadly so you can use it for any game that fits
I am. But I intend to add features to the engine as I progress through games
