Is it just as laggy if it has the shreddy particles in the shroomcloud as well? Because if it isn't TOO laggy, could you add those back in?

i really like the waste launcher. very nice. the nuke though looks kinda wierd with the fireballs, maybe you should make them grow rather than just appear

Well if I don't put any glow then I don't think it will be laggy. I did put a lot of invisible shreddy particles on my ion cannon and it didn't lag that much.

Sad thing, I always forget to put some >.<

I really don't care about lagging nuke, as long as it is a NUKE.

Craving for update

The nuke in Fallout 3 didn't lag. Neither did the mini-nukes.

This is because it was mostly a graphical effect, where as in CC every particle of the nuke has physical properties

I know, but he said the nuke in FO3 lagged... Which it didn't.

We are all forgetting the nukes from Mercenaries 2.
Those could just remain on screen.(like it does, in the case of the only real one)
And the bunkerbusters cause quite a bit of destruction, big booms and eye blinding glows.

Not quite an expert on this but I've seen my friend just erase a city without severe fps drops.(ATI 4870)


Back on topic: these don't lag that bad actually, sure dropping over 1 does. But you usually zoom the screen to the explosion anyway.(Come on we all love dummy, coalition and ronnin bits all over the place.)

running a 1.6 Intel dual btw

You're talking 'bout the static nuke or the actual fireball'd nuke? Cauz' the one here sure doesn't lag a lot because it's meant to be smoother than the other versions, just uglier.

And yeah, nukes in fallout 3 lags. Got get a MIRV and shoot only ONCE with it, then tell me if it lags or not. Also, walk around DC and find some bridge with like 40 cars on it and shoot a grenade inside or let the stupid super mutant shoot with his missile launcher and blow the hell out of everything. Trust me, nukes in fallout 3 lags.

*nukes in fallout 3 on a shitty computer lags maybe

blaming a game for not running perfectly on terrible hardware is like saying crysis is a shitty game because it doesn't run on your windows 95 pentium II

A suggestion on how radiation should be done: Instead of having just one AEmitter shooting off particles from ground zero, try using one AEmitter(A) at the impact zone which shoots AEmitters(B) around the terrain. Although AEmitter(A) would only last a few seconds causing minimal damage, the AEmitters(B) would shoot off your laggy glow radiation particles everywhere they land. This will be better for a number of reasons:

1) If you spread out multiple smaller AEmitters instead of having just one big one, you can decrease the total number of particles being emitted without compromising the amount of damage that's being done. This means less lag.

2) It's a bit more realistic looking. Having one big glowing ball of spew at ground zero doesn't look very good. It certainly doesn't look like radiation (if we could see radiation, at least, I'm just pretty sure it wouldn't look like that). Multiple AEmitters is more on the ball, simulating the irradiated debris which represents the greatest hazard in nuclear blasts. In general it would just look better

3) Less terrain rape. I'm not really sure why your radiation cuts through terrain as is right now anyway, but that's besides the point. Spreading that ♥♥♥♥ out will just work better.

Tested, didn't lag. I have it on the Xbox360. No lag. Except maybe that time when I switched the cable from HD to HDD or something. But that's caused by the switching.

Yeah sorry I forgot that I had a ton of mods on fallout 3 that made the game prettier but laggyer (Like motion blur, high res textures, ssao that kind of ♥♥♥♥) I tested it stock and it didn't lag.

Anyway I like the emitters throwing emitters thingy so I'll try that too. Radiations cuts thru terrain because its like acid... kinda. It disintegrates terrain. Also not only the radiations are raping the terrain, the shockwave does the whole job.

aweasome

8 month necro, smooth.
