that would be awesome...

as to the original topic of the thread - I would think that with the BF2 engine and that the game encourages a lot of people on servers, it would put quite a load on the client and server machines...

not a GFx card, a physic card: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid...e=expert&pid=1

But you can also buy all the Devs new GFx cards, Ram, CPUs, mothboards and any other deviecs you think may speed up our work. I could do with a super computer just to do the lightmaps for my maps

yeah i'm sure it would, but wouldn't it just be a client-side effect? (not that i know anything about this sort of thing). not physics-based, just doing the same thing as the helo's & modifying the vegetation's sway loop within a certain area.

not really just a clinet side effect. The server also needs to send the code to every player that the grass is moving in that arear, so they can see it in 3rd person view. the 1st person view is hardly going to see anything compard to the personl looking at the guy going through the grass.

Ah right, nvm. I really wanted that shaky grass

I thought it might've worked like the ragdoll death effects which are usually client-side only (ie. server sends info to clients that the noob gets pwned in x location from y direction, & the client adds the animation of a guy falling off a rooftop, which vary from player to player). So with grass movement, the only server-side code is player location/velocity, & the client does the rest. Anyway even if this was the case, the grass was probably hard-coded by EA themselves to be stiff just to piss us off so we buy the next installement of Battlefield Gardening 3162

that would be the same for grass movemt, server sends info to ALL clinets that the guy is there and to play the grass moving effect. Each little bit adds to the strain.

Now imagine that strain in 64 Steel Thunder...
