Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Curious, as I haven't upgraded yet to try it out
Waiting for one more plugin to be updated before I take the plunge.

With Alpha 7 I get alot of crashes IG especially due to Graohics issues;
http://forums.acdev.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3415
If AC crashes to desktop when you click on a button on the Decal Bar (the bar that shows your active plugins), or if you get a "cImage::loadPortal
Failed Loading Portal file ID" error message, then it is likely that you have insufficient video memory.
This problem is related to the current graphics code in the alpha version of Decal. This code uses a great deal of video memory, which can cause a number of problems if you try to run too many plugins at once, including the symptoms described above.
Until a version of Decal is released with improved graphics code, you have several choices:
1. run fewer plugins, especially graphics-intensive plugins with large, complex views or plugins with HUDs (ideally, you should be running only one or two graphical plugins at most).
2. upgrade to a video card with more memory.
3. adjust AC game settings to use less memory (reduce the game resolution, run in fullscreen mode, lower texture detail settings).
Remember, this is an Alpha release of Decal. It will *not* support a full load of plugins like a regular release would.
I get this heaps.

lol no, it's AC Tool Companion. I use to swear by Target Info, but any that displays a HUD right now is to be avoided imho.
ya'll think you have a Decal addiction - well an AC Tool addiction is much worse!
I think Decal is the gateway drug...
-------------------------------------------
I run eight plugins, normally. El Tank is one of them, and there is a HUGE difference in crash frequency when I have it enabled (for all the above reasons), so I use it sparingly.
Gone are the days (pre-ToD) when I could run 22 plugins with rock-solid stability. But that's comparing apples and oranges, I know.
My graphics sub system is borderline for ToD / Decal 3 with a 128Mb nVidia FX5700LE...in fact that is sub-standard nowadays. I seriously need to upgrade my rig. By that time we will have a sparkling new final release of Decal and all will be right with the world.

Chaz,
I have a 256MB Radeon x800 and it still crashes alot, and I run usually 1 or 2 plugins at once (ElTank without any HUDs and maybe Treestats). So I don't think that getting a better video card will help.
So, I gotta ask .... When is Decal going to enter Beta, much less a final release?

No idea. But navigating using assumption and common senese tells me, now that the Devs are out of school for the summer, we will see more rapid development of Decal. I bet the top priority for them is the graphics / rendering part of decal, and that the next alpha/beta whatever will have new code for that. Then, after a bit of testing (by all of us) and some tweaking by them, they'll get a final out before school starts up again and they get totally buried.

I was under the impression that most of them were adults not in school. Guess I was wrong.

I'm generalizing, I have no data but I know some are adults, some are in or finishing school, but who knows? Maybe they are all in their doctorate programs... This is a very bright group of people.
