My secret shame is that I love Pokemon.

In fact my biggest dream in life it to work for Gamefreaks and shape the world of Pokemon in ways I hold oh so very dear. I have been working with my brother for the last few months on PokemonCA (http://www.PokemonCa.net) but recently he dropped out and now I'm making my own engine in VB6 (He can code in C++) and soon the project will be exactly where we left off.

Thank god he listened to me when we started making all the data, I can easily parse everything we did into my new engine and I can build around it.

Well what I ask of you is to run this, hit the "click me" button and tell me if your FPS drops below 30. If it stays above 30 then your good to go, but below I would like to know your base system specs or even better a DXDiag.

(For DxDiag Start ~ Run ~ DXDiag ~ Save all Information button.)

And major note: This is a WIP and the collisions/sounds/water are all being worked on.

As always with anything made by me - VB6 Runtimes Required:
http://www.renhelp.net/downloads/VB6.0%20Runtimes.exe

And please post is anything errors and what OS you have Wink

Whao!

That's awesome!

I had a constant 32FPS, 33 when the lightning struck. Razz

I have DX9.0c, 512MB o' ram, 2.0Ghz processor, ATi Radeon X550.

The save all info lagged my pc and wouldn't produce a log file.

meh.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

30-32 fps without the rain, 26-28 fps and periodic drops to 23-24 fps with the rain. Also, it sometimes goes to 0/16 fps when I'm in the Options > Chat Text Size menu. Pokémon Red/Blue... man that takes me back... Also, in case the dxdiag doesn't have it, I have the nvidia 169.01 beta driver for the Crysis demo.

Thanks a lot for the info guys!

I put the rain/puddles on max so its good that the result have been solid so far.

@havoc9826 Yeah no worries, it doesn't count fps's correctly when your in the menu and 23-24 (33 should be max possible) is still pretty good. I guess I will have a low/med/high setting on particles Very Happy

@Sn1per74* Yeah being Pokemon brand name and all. I don't have a backup of that to put it anywhere but it was the old engine anyway.

Still needing to make a converter for the new map format from the old, its a biznatch to parse but completely needed. (25 maps or so)

And thanks everyone for the good comments on the engine thus far, really surprised that no one bashed the Pokemon Shocked

EDIT:

Some screenshots here:
http://www.pokemonca.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13

Maps will look exactly like that once they are converted...so its a good show of what it will look like.

Nothing wrong with Pokemon really, but I'm not interested in it anymore. Those were addicting though.

I'd test this, but I get an error as follows.

"Component 'MSWINSCK.OCX' or one of it's dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

I downloaded the file for the runtimes, but I get the feeling this is related to that still. I extracted it to my desktop, ran that, and it looked like it it was extracting or installing something (with a progress bar) and went away and did nothing I presumed it was done, but it did nothing more either way.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.

Thanks chuck, yeah that one file seems to popup ever few computers or so. Ill have to include it from now on.

If you would just put the file in the folder next to my exe or in Windows\System32 and then any/all programs can find it.

Once you pick a spot it should work fine but if not then it will have to be registered like so:

Example:
Start ~ Run ~ Cmd ~ Regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\MSWINSCK.OCX

Link to all files I use in PCA:
http://www.oblivioninteractive.com/files/PCA%20files.zip

You can put all of them safely in your system32 folder, they are not used unless a program calls for them.

That did it. The other three I overwrote what I had, so it was just the one missing.

I got results similar to havoc9826. A steady 32FPS normally, and it dropped to a steady 26-29FPS with rain. At times during rain (notably in the upper left where you start), it dipped to abour 24. Lightning didn't seem to lower FPS at all. My PC isn't overly powerful though.

Question: Will the engine be open source or closed source?

Well I could strip out all the PCA stuff...sure but I hadn't planned to release the source code just to not help the cheaters. I've been writing the code interchangeably so making a different game on this engine would be do-able.

I'm using the usual server side anti-cheating techniques of course but why make it hard on myself?

As of right now I would let people use the engine. No promises in the future though Very Happy

Ahh, I assumed it would be open source to avoid a law suit from Nintendo. Razz

But.. If it's going to be free.. then I don't think you'd get one anyway. Surprised

yeah, Server side is the way to go though!

Did you try the components I added to fix Chuck's problem? Sounds like it cant activate DirectX 7, which is odd because its as old the world itself.

The Dx7 file is in those dll's so that should patch it up.

@CaveMan since my app uses DX (for some things) its idles when not in focus, so the fps counter stop counting and it well idles. No worries and again thanks everyone for the computer stats.
