3.1 Complaints *sigh* (Community)
3.1 Complaints *sigh* // Community
Feb 14, 2001, 10:00pm
The reason why sounds are worse for some and better for others (they sound
way better for me) is that AW switched from the old crummy sound system to a
proper DirectSound system... When you get pretty bad sounds on DirectSound
it usually means you have a pretty bad sound card.

actually you couldn't because there's a "max light radius" thing added to
the options - worlds - features box.. my guess is that the new command is
more of an all or nothing type deal..

Please reread what I said, we are saying the same thing I think. Also, it
was reported in the Beta NG when 3.1 first came out about the abuse
potential, then it was added to the world settings as an option.

3.1 should've just been lighting. Lighting is good. Roland should have held
off on the rest and did it RIGHT. It's easy to make clientside encroachment
checks for all in-scene objects. Lighting someone else's property is OK as
it looks cheezy if it doesnt happen. Moving and rotating objects would start
moving before the encroach checks and as it moves, it is encroachment
checked at each step and instead of causing the object to be deleted, just
make it invisible! Nothing difficult there. Now making the server process
all this would be ludicrus but AW sucks CPU cycles and should use them for
somthing productive.

Creative sound cards set the standard for all other sound cards its why you
see sound blaster compatibal on every sound card out.
Creative sound cards are basicly the best out and are defently the best bang
for your buck 59 buck for live value 99 for live 159 i think is curent for
sb live platnum.
Now creative web cams do suck so does their vid card :)
I had a creative anihhilator 2 mx evil evil card and have the creative
