the new version is pretty good!
« on: April 10, 2006, 01:35:49 pm »
the client is more stable, not so easy to crash, and I love the PlaneShift Tutorial
The graphic seems be improved a litter, \'cause it\'s more pretty in my computer.
I\'m gonna find more cool stuff :)

if you want it to be even nicer looking, go into pssetup and crank up the antialiasing and the anistropic filtering :D

You can always read the CVS history, though with recent SourceForge issues the public version is 12 freakin\' days out of date...

I\'ll see if I can slap together a simplified changelog at some point.

Easiest explanation (without all the technical stuff) is to see the difference with screenshots.

This is a screenshot from Half-Life 2 without anti-aliasing enabled:

No Anti-Aliasing

And this is with 4x Anti-Aliasing:

4x FSAA

This is a screenshot from Half-Life 2 without Anisotropic Filtering enabled. Only Trilinear Filtering is used:

No Anisotropic Filtering

This is with 16x AF enabled:

16x AF

See the differences in image quality with and without either setting?

There you go. ;)

Personally one of the things that are a big news with this release is CPU using. Seems that Planeshift no longer uses 100% of the CPU all the time, hope that\'s a relief for our comp fans, and perhaps that \"smarter\" cpu usage can lead to new players being able to launch this version, when in others failed.

I think that we have all to thank Rhad for his great job. Most of the \"consumption\" problems were related to the sound and I think he put all his soul in fixing the majority of the issues.
He has been really great!
