LOL you must be jokingI'm not. With software so ubiquitous and even required to use a computer, why shouldn't the cost of entry be as low as possible? Your browser is free, your media player is free, Steam is free, why isn't your operating system?
For everybody's convenience, because some people have bad internet and opening another tab or window slows them down.that makes no sense.
The water looks the hell a lot better than just having a baseplate as the water.They're adding fancy looking features. Blockland is still more responsive and doesn't look like Ecstatica.
The water physics in an outdated engine won't work for awesome water physics like that.
Is it me or Roblox is getting better?
my hard drive has been running over 7000 hours, I got my computer 3 years ago, aka over 6 hours a day. yeah, not that much? Lol. my first crash/bluescreen was when i overclocked my graphics card too much. I like that you cant take the fact that I like windows more so you make handicapped assumptionsIt's not only because windows crashes, it's because microsoft shouldn't have a monopoly on operating systems. Why shouldn't the users be in control? Why shouldn't the software be free?
sorry im not going to install and learn a new whole operating system which cannot play most games and run a lot of things because windows crashed once or twice
ubuntu was a pain for me to use, I gave up on it after an hour
ill give steamos a chance though
Blockland has "realistic" texture water too. I'm sure there's an option to change it to look like studs. if bricks float that would be awesome. i wish blockland started doing stuff like this and stuff. roblox is getting a sort of pseudo-technic support too which I really want. i mean, it should be possible now after v21.The "realistic" textures don't look that great though, this is using proper bumpmapping and stuff to look nicer. I'd love to see refraction and stuff added to the water.
thats the drivers faultthats the motherboards drivers faultPoint is that it shouldn't be the case (also the USB 3.0 driver is Microsoft's, the manufacturer's, which had to be used for Windows 7, worked fine). Drivers shouldn't affect if you can install an update.
...no it doesn'tWindows 8.1 refuses to install if you use a steelseries driver. yeah, that's normal. Plus, USB 3.0 support is complete garbage, half of my ports don't even work (they do on linux though, imagine that).
unless you download a stuffton of bloatware and other crap, or your hardware is equivalent to a 1990's IBM computer they used in grocery stores
you shouldn't be running windows on a nokia phone in the first placeNo, it crashes on everything.
because red means no puck and green means shoot? why have it disappear and reappear, that's just more confusing.I disagree, a bar would suggest that there are states in between, especially if it just starts out all red. It tells you nothing at first, unlike the "you have the puck" element. No game displays an item you don't have in red all of the time, that's a massive waste of space, especially if it's a giant bar. Most sports games solve this sort of issue by hi-lighting the player with the puck or the puck itself if no one has it, it doesn't just show a puck.
this is how max shaders look inside as well. i usually run shaders off or minimum inside, because at least then it's not one flat shade.I think this picture does the original shaders more justice. The shadows blend and it isn't just a flat transition.then why the hell are they posting DoF pictures. if it's not running real time what's the god-damn point? for a GRAPHICS update, I want to see what my game will look like when i actually play it, not after it's been passed through a bunch of filters to produce an image that looks better than the actual thing. if you're reading an article on the new graphics technology a developer is bringing for their engine/game or something, you wouldn't expect them to post pictures of some render, you'd expect them to show off what it can do in real time, because you'll be playing the god-damn game in real time. it's advertising a new REAL TIME graphical advancement, not a new rendering system to make your 3D scene render nicer.I do not think the environment should be the only thing shaded, so I do not know why you asked this question. nor do I think that the previous update's graphics look better (though i like shaders off in some situations). The whole post was against how they purposely displayed v20 graphics in a poor manner and displayed v21 graphics in a manner that showed them looking better than what they were when released.Oh god not this 1,000 quote stuff again.
i do not think the update itself is bad, i think that it was worse than what they showed off, but i still think it looks better on slate than what we had on slate. i initially posted to add on to someone else who was angered that the developers didn't release what they originally showed. i see nothing wrong with debate, but i will respond to marcem in PMs if he decides to continue trying to prove me wrong, since the official topic for discussing things like this was locked, and this topic is not really the right place, while the other topic was more suited.Holy stuff why does no one realize that discussing things in a public space is what a loving forum is designed to do?! Or are you just mad that I disagree with you?
i hate when developers do stuff like this. they show us a picture of multi-layered shading, then give us two toned shading instead. it's a blatant lie and that's that. the whole front post of the "S&S vs I&T" Main Post was a ruse. Show your shaders looking all good (not even how they look in the actual game) and present the maps in a poor fashion to try to sway the other side.wow way to post pink slopes, a bug that didn't even exist in the game until v20. I don't see how that's really "bad" considering it worked fine until you (devs) decided to change something.way to take a picture in the far corner of the map instead of showing the actual entire thing. i'm honestly not sure if this is some kind of bait/troll picture or not.Those lightmaps look like ass still. Working with interiors was near impossible at the scale that blockland tended to deal with. There is no radiosity so everything just looks bland and you can't differentiate it. It's really ugly.
It's the same as if I did this:
"V20 has clearly better graphics and shadows and shaders look like stuff and should be removed. Look at this awesome new interior
now compare that to the old, outdated, ugly, 2001, shaders we have now"
It's a blatant biased sample.
