daangelo29 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 lol I'm sure of it because I tried it out myself. I originally planned my Time Machine mod to be for VC until I started working on the "time bubble", which is basically like this mod's wormhole -- it's made up of 2 half-spheres with textures on each of the side of each sphere then placed in a way that it looks like one sphere (had to because of how the time bubble should be animated). Man, the thing lags and screws up like sh*t. If you're gonna ask how it I did -- copy & paste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 well, you'd have no problem in sa then. The wormhole at its biggest is made of 50 objects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daangelo29 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 If I'm gonna do the time bubble again in SA, either I'll do the same thing as I did in VC (can't remember how I did it again ), or I'm just gonna do a simple transparent sphere model for the bubble. 50 objects? No lag sh*t? I hope the wormhole doesn't have the same "lag effect" like in VC when I try it myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 no lag. SA fixed the lag. With fraps on and some background processes (firefox and tons of tabs), it dipped down to like 10 fps, but nothing ever lagged. No particles or objects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daangelo29 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 I'm just gonna wait for the next update, regardless of how long will it take to be released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Microman 85 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 For the wormhole , I think it's too "geometric" ... But all the other things are cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daangelo29 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 Even when you have the last release, you'll still be waiting for the next one! Of course, just that I want to play the mod with those new stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 its better then having a texture that looks the same no matter the angle I'll probably release it when I have sparks made. First, I'm redoing the wormhole model, because they're kinda spiral looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daangelo29 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 I agree with Blue. The "geometric" wormhole is better than the VC one. Speaking of which, I'm still (sort of) concerned about the progress of the mainstream mod. I haven't heard from you guys regarding that mod since. With sparks, eh? Cool, then.

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 the main concern with the mainstream mod is models, which is far from my concern, so I'm putting my work to SA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daangelo29 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks for reminding me about the models. Speaking of sparks, have you started on it, or still working on the wormhole? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 still working on wormhole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 new model....though not much difference. The old one just had a slight bend in it that made the wormhole kinda look like a spiral. Or the slightly thicker version of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 okie dok, second one it is. And can I say I'm done with that and move to sparks now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 wow it looked so bad yesterday.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daangelo29 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 And it looks good now. In short, the progress of this mod is fast and good. That's one EPIC wormhole. I wish we can do the same in VC. Unless there's little difference, it would be best if you make a video of the second/current wormhole, but not saying you should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 Will in a sec. Here's a few more screens. one from what you would usually see it from, and one from the interior. Had to crop out the interior because the car was cut in half....odd, considering i was using sa camhack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mini-Me 24 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 Yup, I also am for the second but still beleive it should be a little more transparent, but apart from that I'll give you big . @angel: As already said, I guess the lag will be to high in VC to use it there...
