You need a 64 bit os 4gb system + 1.8G video + system pci ram space over head = only about 2-3.5 ram that can be used.

LOL, no, wrong, i have seen it on my dev machine: I5 WinXpSp3 32bit, 3GB, 1GB Graphics (GF 240) - as well as a AMD core 2 (fathers), 3 GB, Win7 32 bit, 512MB Graphics (GF 9800). As well as an imac on Boot-Camp... With 8GB, but 32bit XP... Don't know graphics and specs, but Imac has almost laptop Graphics.

OK, if you need some of this machines with 64bit and an 1.8GB VidCard - Could anybody send one to me? I can't develop anymore. LOL

No, this is not even an early beta, it's a dev-Version, that even runs in debug mode. So no ram-Optimization (which could be done), almost no graphics optimization (which could be done). No Loading Time acceleration (i.E. Use a buffer instead of reading byte by byte...).

For example i currently keep two to three versions of every Texture in Memory.

Due to Visual Studio 2010 i'm able to release such a dev Version (like you have seen). Otherwise there would not have been a version out. Since packetizing takes time, normally.

At this state: If it runs at my dev-Machine without accelleration, everything is good for me. If Framerate drops from currently 500fps to 30fps, i will do something.

Who can run it unoptimized should be glad.

@barry - your system is better than my dev-system... so you will be able to run it - always.

i volunteer for the dirty optimization work..
(hopefully i'll have more spare time again in a month or so)

Thanks, toxie, Let's see how it evolves.

my machine blows through it like a hot knife through butter
i7 quad 3.75 ghz, 2 nvidia 250 gts 1 gb, 6 gb ram
my other system also runs it smooth as silk
amd x2 6000+ 2.7 ghz, 1 nvidia 250 gts 1 gb, and 2 gb ram

Can't thank you devs enough for doing all you do

I would upload a new version to you all, but my mouse moved camera class does not work as expected and the code is messed up a little bit. I would have to write some manager classes, so that the new camera works.

No problem. Midnight, 13th Jan. 2012 there will definitely be a new version out. Puh, i though i would have stress, but now i have time... ;-)

No, seriousely, I'm working again, while i was developing the last weeks, i had holidays. If you track the sourceforge page, you'll see that i program nearly every day, but it won't be so fast as you might expect. In holidays i programmed up to 10 hours per day.

man cupid, thats a lot of hours. i did 8 hour days coding bad cats for fp, took me 6 months to finish. i wish i new more about software development to lend a hand

[rehab]

Very interesting project!

Thanks for the hard work; I hope it pays off

[cupid]

Just wanted to let you know, that i got the player to work in my virtual machine. I turned off ramps and some more things, but that has nothing to do with it. I can compile it for DirectX9- and DX10-Compatibe Graphic-Cards now. But nice effects (on rails and Balls) or antialiasing for example will only work with The HiDef, DX 10 profile.

Here's a screenshot from my mac, running the player in a virtual windows xp under parallels desktop vitualisation. The player is also showing the main menu.

BTW: The Virtual machine only has 1.5 GB mem... and a 256 MB Graphic card. Speed is not very good, but also not very bad for a (yet) non-optimized engine.

Comming along nicely cupid

[J3SteR]

Very nice great job!

[settingsons]

Exciting stuff!

[BarryS]

Nice.

Be happy to help you test it.

[Rawd]

Looks awesome Cupid! With the HiDef, DX 10 profile, would it be possible to add things like reflection, real-time lighting and shadows, and things like smoke effects? ..or am I dreaming here?

Yes, could be possible.

I LOVE IT! your development speed is simply awesome!
