GAME TEST RELEASE PRE-ALPHA

[Blizzard]

Hi,

I'm Santostefano Giovanni and I'm the Lead Programmer of a workgroup that is developing a game with an internally modified irrlicht version.

We are using lot's of effects, but the most used is parallax mapping.

WE NEED AN HELP....

WE MAKE A TEST RELEASE. So we want that you all can test the game and answer to me the results simply writing a form contained in the rar.

You can download the rar at the address:

http://www.kxt.it/games/test.rar


The game is alone from the complete version but we have some problems with the framerate and the test have the goal to know the medium hardware that can support

it!!

All the computers of the workgroup have inside a gpu ATI Radeon.
We also want to know the results on NVidia and Asus or others

__________________________________________________________________

--RESTRICTIONS
All hardwares can run this demo, but if you haven't a Video Card that no support a shader model, please don't send the mail form because the game run without parallax

mapping and it's faster then the real version that use this shader.
So these data is not useful.
PLEASE SEND THE TEST FORM.TXT ONLY IF YOU CAN RENDER PARALLAX MAPPING

Without parallax mapping you haven't
1) Infrared visor (that use this shader)
2) The flash of the shooted bullets (that use this shader)

Write an e-mail to the address in the form for sending the results.

Ok. Here it goes:

- The visor looks ok;
- The sound is ok;
- The shooting code works;
- Didn't got stuck in map ( walls, objects);
- Lowest fps : 33 ; Highest : 37.

My comp spec:

- AMD Athlon 1700 GHz;
- 512 RAM DDR;
- NVidia GeForce 4 MX;
- 10 GB free space.

Happy to oblige.

Game is a bit darker than the picture, and I think it is too dark - I had to turn the brightness and contrast all the way up to see clearly. Visor was bright and clear and all functions worked.

Could not see bullet trails in first person mode.

No problems anywhere.

FPS: Lowest 165, Highest 192

PC spec:
Pentium 930D (dual core) 3.0GHz / ASUS motherboard
1GB DDR ram
NVIDIA geForce 7600GT / 256MB
XP pro

Hi,
thanks to you all for make the test!!! this is too important for us.

I've seen that anyone have written the form on this forum...
Probably it's a good idea if you don't want to send an e-mail.

For me the email is better but if you are shure with the forum you can write the results here!!!

please anyone that download the game and have a videocard with a shader model 1 or 2 or 3 ... send the form or cut and paste the form on this forum.

THANKS TO THE PEOPLE HWO HAVE TESTED THE GAME!!!!!

On my athlon 64 3700 with geForce 6600/128 MB/, 1G RAM runs with average 80 fps.
Yet, I suggest:
- darker
- sometimes 3-dth person camera gots a strange behaviour - turns arround the player - exactly for me was on the begining of game, and when player was falls down in the some hole.
