T34 vs Tiger- Kursk 1943 coming soon! - Page 42

ZeeWolf · 04-03-10, 11:01 AM

Good morning Guys,
I really appreciate your help and know we get a accurate view of the task
ahead in regards to the extreme (number of objects and their speed etc.)
when it comes to the large battle scenarios on the largest map.

I am working on a revision that will slow the tigers down and eliminate
some of the CPU demand by changing the T34s task by keeping then stationary until the Tigers are in range.
And I have been working on the land texture maps, optimizing size to
distance ratio and cell coverage to mention a few examples of my task
ahead. More of the Kursk releases I am planning need beta testing.

The good news is the changes will just come in the form of small downloads
that install over existing 367mg install

Those install issues where all
my fault and of course I am very grateful for you guys. I believe whole
heartily that non of the advances made both now and for the future developments could be possible with out you.

I agree also with your beta work that Kursk is not ready for release until
it is playable like the other mission. But I have come to the firm conclusion
that CPU power is (some what) more a factor then GPU when it comes
to moving us to the next level of large mission development.
So,take a firm stand and know we can get these and other issues resolved and the mid size map missions that are planned will not be hinder by are findings here.

And Herr frinik you can be sure here as well as others with crap-top-clunkers

can plan to enjoy the future productions of Project ZeeWolf.

Oh and one more thing although the Kursk release remains in beta testing
I will prepare a general release that will be in the 350mg range that has all
my other changes to this great sim.

Take heart Kameraden I salute you!

Hello ZW,

i think it was a good idea to release the beta version of Kursk to test it. We all made experiences that are necessary so we can optimise this game with your help.

So not only monster pc s can play the future releases the slower cpu s can take their advantage too.

Glad to hear these news

See you in Kursk with full equipment

You bet LC

All those who played TvT before Kursk will still be able to fully enjoy the new releases that are not as CPU hungry. I can and will create a range of missions that will take that into account.

Although the minimum requirements are starting to form for all to see and that also is a good thing. I want to be open and honest as possible with all beta testing results. Project ZeeWolf must be built on a firm foundation of trust a long term vision for T34 vs Tiger. Our Kamerads deserve nothing less.

I will have something new for you to test maybe just after the end of the Easter
weekend. Must not forget MorttheSlayer, and can't forget about frinik and
the rest. So I will stay busy until I am sure I have something worthy of your
time.

Hey Chucky!
Yes the beta is in testing for the guys that volunteered and have the CPU
and GPU horsepower.

Later today ZW, I'm going to take a different approach to the Kursk mission, hopefully to get farther into it.

Right now I am busy with other holiday weekend stuff, but will look into it later tonight!

Hi Chucky!
Me too I am waiting on the sidelines while the big boys are testing.Pass the gin will you

.Gin and chocolate Easter eggs a good combo ( to be sick....

Meanwhile, we can make ourselves useful; dig latrines, buff the Zug's command cars, chase the Grey Mice

At night to go to sleep play the game and count the FPS

Happy Easter Weekend!

Hey Zee I am positive...about chasing the Grey Mice of the Luftwaffe while Lc and Eddie are having a good time with the Sovietin tank crews...

Happy Easter to you too Zee man and kudos for the hard work.I think it's significant that with Kursk you ressurected TvsT just on time for the feast that celebrate Jesus Christ's ressurection....

Cheers

I can't stand them Frinik.I prefer my alcohol to come straight out of a bottle!

It looks as though I will now have to dust off the mighty Nvidia GTX 280 OC ready for Kursk

(Yes,it's been sat on my printer gathering dust for ages,waiting to be called up for duty)
