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You can always read the CVS history, though with recent SourceForge issues the public version is 12 freakin\' days out of date...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

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!
