I get around 40-60 fps... see specs below =)
but my refresh is stuck at 60 on my monitor so it won't go above 60... i can't seem to figure out how to change it.

Humus,
I haven't had a chance to test your engine, but it sounds good from reading the other posts. How long did it take you to write this? How much experience do you have in this sort of thing? I will give you some feedback once I test the engine. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

I have some experience, started programming in Glide back when V2 was king. Went over to OpenGL when G400 was king.

Sounds good. I am stuck doing a lot of Java programming and on the side I have been tinkering with open gl. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif Here is something I have been wondering, how much different is Glide from OpenGL?Quote:

The difference is quite big. The look at little similar but under the hood there's a lot of differences. In Glide you have to do all the transformations yourself, in OpenGL you just provide matrixes and then the driver takes care of the rest. OpenGL also have functions to help you setup those matrixes and perform rotations and translations. You can use OpenGL without needing to be king of linear algebra, but in Glide you really need to know your math ...
In Glide you also need to take care of texture memory management. Glide is such a thin layer over the hardware that it's hard to write new hardware and still be Glide compatible. I think Glide is one of the reasons 3dfx got stuck too long in the old Voodoo archetechture.

Sounds interesting. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif I am going to start some openGL stuff soon so I have been doing some research. Most of my friends and people I work with program in OpenGL or Direct 3D. Just wanted to hear the differences from someone who has programmed in both. Thanks

Cool engine, I'm no programer...yet...I just find your forum interesting. But about the engine, even on my old v770 I got 30-36 fps (k62-450@500). It looked good, even though very little like the pic on your site. I just have to ask, sorry if this is stupid, but there aren't supposed to be any barriers in the engine, are there? When I would hit a wall, I would just keep going, and it would do cool things, in this state I'd get 145-220fps. I've read through all the other posts and none have hinted at anything like this...so I have to know about the walls.
Also, as an aspiring programmer, can you reccomend any books for learning c/c++ and or java? Thanks in advance.
BTW taking screenshots didnt' seem to work for me either.

Baboons eat with spoons,
Dorks eat with forks,
The answer then must be sporks!
Well, on that card it shouldn't look like the screenshot either, cause your card doesn't have DOT3 bumpmapping.
I didn't have the collision detection implemented in that version, so you can go straight through wall etc.
Don't know any good books, I've learned C/C++ and java by trying and reading tutorials etc.

fps counter doesn't work but looks great on:
1000mhz PIII
GeForce GTS DDR O/Ced
60 fps -- no bumpmap on:
450mhz PIII
Voodoo3 3000
I'm gonna revive this topic and ask anyone who has a copy of Humus' engine to post here. I just now realized I might finally have the hardware to run it properly. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

It is only when you are malcontent that you produce your best work.
Yeah, the link is dead. Someone repost. I wanna see what kind of engine one can make in a month. Humus, you're my idol! I have always wanted to make an engine, and especially in OpenGL. All my friends say DirectX is better, but, blah to them https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/6.gif

Too bad, my dumb motherboard fried just about everything. Waiting for Tbird 900, FIC AD11 (AMD 761 DDR), 128 PC2100 DDR, GeForce2 MX! YEAH!
Check out this awesome website: Extreme-Genesis
I've uploaded the engine to my new homepage. The old geocities site got removed for some reason ...
Get it on my site: http://hem.passagen.se/emiper/
It's not entirely the same engine ... I've done some updates after last time I published it, but I'm not working on the engine anymore due to some bad bugs.
There are some other cool stuff I've done there too ... I recommend the Winamp plugin https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2002/02/3.gif

Wow, it looks really great! My framerate is exactly 60 fps (Duron 750, Abit K7T RAID, Hercules GeForce 2 MX, 256 MB RAM, Win2k Pro).
Btw: Is this engine open source? https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif
Would be very, very interesting...
