: Textures are decompressed at level load time, but they are not loaded onto
: the card until needed. Aleph One is fairly inefficient at that second
: stage: it doesn't do things like padding to powers of two sizes, scaling,
: mipmap generation, etc. until it goes to load them to the video card. It
: also does 2 or 3 unnecessary memory copies, which are pretty slow on G4s
: due to their glacial front side bus.
Ah.. That explains it. Say, do you guys have any plans to port AO to the intel version of OS X? AFAIK AO is still in carbon, so it would take more than a recompile.
: I've fixed some of this (padding and scaling are done at decompress time,
: copies are not done unless necessary, mipmaps are generated using the
: video card hardware when possible), so in-game loading of old format
: textures will be a little better in the upcoming release. Our memory
: footprint should actually be a little lower, too (I think this is the
: first time ever).
Here's another little AO request - a small, insignificant one, but anyway: I would like it if the status of the crosshairs (on or off) was stored in the pref file.
(xmas-sub)
: I tried but after 15 minutes of running around twisty corridors with just my
: fists, I got fed up. I never got to see any of the eye candy, which I
: assume is in later levels.
Give it another shot. It's worth it. My only complaint with xmas-sub were the bouncy walls in some places.
: I sure would like to see a high res version of Tempus Irae done for Aleph
: One. *sigh*
Yeah, me too. Don't think it'll happen though. B(
But at least there is going to be an AO version of Evil.
