Freestyle Gunz V8 Pre-Release Progress

[Dave]

Now an optimised client and you are gucci (textures, models (items) & maps).

I did manage to optimize a bunch of textures by about 20-35% in file-size.
All-in-all, it might be a 50MB win at most which isn't too bad given the size of the full client.

Hello all i came back to the game a week ago after 3 years cut i made a thread about it. Can someone explain me what is scrider please and btw i heard v8 is going to get the game to 300+ players is it right Dave? Cuz i really feel bad how the game since i left.

This game is totally outbalanced. 195k for sucking sq. Try Zombie King instead, what do u get? Or a pg65 dungeon, what do u get? Yes, less than a sucking sq. Who in the hell is predicting this?

when the sun is highest in the sky use ur smart phone in the battle arena map and locate the coordinates longitude 15.3579894+ latitude 13.47234673 u will see an astral plane with giant black bears dressed to look like gypsies they will lead u to the laboratory simulator which will show u how to create a miniverse with strange properties with beings that evolved to the brutal conditions of their host stars electromagnetic radiation

this game has no balance. when i join a room my character is slightly tilted and leans

Seems like a good reason to play GunZ again.

See, this happens when you listen to me :p.
Wonder if this applies also to some skill map textures n stuff that can be just done with xml .

You know where to find me if you still struggle with some optimisations .

I'm doing maps next, I am currently creating a script that will optimize them all without needing any interaction.
I did find some maps with huge textures (7MB) that I managed to get down to 30KB in some cases.

The .FGZ filesystem we (are going to) use already does some good compression so the filesize of the whole client will not be significantly less, but it will matter when everything is loaded into the memory. Loading a game should also be slightly faster.

Currently i am dreading the modifications i will be performing to the tags...oh widgets...

I've done xml optimizations for all maps and got rid of duplicate textures, while optimizing all jpgs and pngs we have.

Good luck on the next version! There was a time when V8 was nothing but a myth, I'm glad you guys are finally so close to releasing it.

Sry Dave, but nobody cares for a new style for forum. Give us back Scrider.

Hey man, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm sure a quest boss isn't their top priority. You really shouldn't undermine peoples efforts for your own selfish reasons.
