Title: Flash intro on planeshift.it
Post by: Keknehv on December 11, 2004, 09:50:09 pm: (NOTE: I debated putting this in Hydlaa Plaza, but it pertains to Planeshift... move it if you feel the need)

I was just wondering, what exactly does the \"streaming graphics\" mean on the flash intro?

I mean, \"streaming video\" and \"streaming audio\" are streams, but in planeshift, do we have a render farm that streams graphics? Is that why the frame-rate is so low?

^I know, there isn\'t anything...^

So what exactly does \"streaming graphics\" mean?

The script loops through the same 6 frames, checking each time whether the last frame is loaded, and when it is it starts playing.

Any regular flash file that you open streams as it plays, that\'s the reason some animations look choppy, but many things, like this intro, pre-load the graphics to make it smoother.

Post by: Azureil on December 23, 2004, 04:03:50 pm: whoa, for some reason, i never realized that the current town is inside the stalactite! but in the intro it clearly says it, and you can see the sky kinda has a ceiling! thats so cool! i never looked at the sky in MB. i always thought we were like, ontop of where the stalactite was or something. is the whole game going to be in the stalactite? or will there be other places to go? like is the big white building thing on teh cliff on teh edge of one of the levels in the stalactite, or is it in some other place on the surface? this is so cool!
